Rundll32
I get the following message while my computer is starting.
This message just started to appear after I downloaded
Norton Antivirus 2004 and it ran its prescan before
installing after restarting the computer I now get this
message:
Rundll32 has caused an error in <unknown> Rundll32 will
now close. If you continue to experience problems try
restarting your computer.
Once this message appears if I try clicking on anything it
will not launch - I am at a loss.
I tried System Restore and it does not do anything either.
I am able to open the computer in Safe Mode but I can not
get to the internet in this mode etc.
I can I solve this error message as quickly and safely as
possible. The HP computer came with Windows ME installed
and they gave me no recovery disks etc.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: rich text files Tag: 216386

Mprexe caused exception in 03h module
We ran disk fragmenter on Saturday 10/25. It ran fine,
and computer was fine afterward. Upon booting up this
morning, my mother had this error message, and many
others, pop up and windows me will not start. All she
gets is her background screen. My mother is not computer
literate, so I will have to go up and fix it. How can I
fix this error? We have a backup emergency disk, but not
the original CDrom for windows me, it was lost. We also
have windows 98. What can I do to fix this????
Thank you. Tag: rich text files Tag: 216384

Help???
I am running ME, but when I start my computer, I get an
error message that says, "Your current security settings
prohibit Active X from running, window may not display
properly" blah blah. The computer can still see the hard
drive (when I start it in safe mode), but I can't open any
programs, and when I try to bring up the start menu, the
button 'sinks' but it stays down and the menu doesn't pop
up. Any help? Tag: rich text files Tag: 216378
Intermittent OE mail send problem
Starting recently, I often cannot send email using Outlook
Express (receiving works fine). I get a message that
it "cannot connect to the server." Sometimes, mail IS sent
with no problem. Roadrunner has assured me that it is not
a problem with them. Microsoft's "help" database says
similar problems are caused by certain routers, but I am
not using a router. Can anybody offer any suggestions? Tag: rich text files Tag: 216376

Cursor Temporarily Freezes
When I point and click on a link my screen often
temporarily freezes for 15 seconds or so after I click and
then the page finally downloads. I am running a fairly
fast cable modem connection which otherwise works well so
I think it might be something in the operating system.
Any ideas?
Thank you

scanpm.exe
Today, my computer starting running scan disk over and
over again. A tool bar appeared out of nowhere that shows
a "scanpm" and scanpm.exe file. I can't seem to get rid of
it and my computer keeps crashing. I ran scandisk
standard check in safemode. When I tried to run a thorough
check, it said that it keeps restarting because a program
is running in the background. I can't figure out what is
running. I also ran McAfee in safemode to check for
viruses. It found no infected files. Then,I tried to do a
system restore, but it said there was insufficient space.
I don't know what this scanpm is or where it came from.
It seems to be a dos program.
Can anyone help. Tag: rich text files Tag: 216326
Programs take long time to start
When I startup the computer, and after WinMe starts, sometimes it takes like
30 sec. for ZoneAlarm, and then my internet connection s/w to start. And
it's not only that, another fps game I have, and another program or two,
sometimes take 30sec-1min to start. No activity during these periods. It
seems to always be the same few programs, and I've tried reinstalling them.
Any ideas? Thx. Tag: rich text files Tag: 216324
Problem with e-mail
I am hoping someone can help me. I did a virus scan on my
computer the other day and had a win32.Benny.6382. Mcafee
was little help but now my scan is coming up clean EXCEPT
when I do a free one on line. But now when I go to my
outlook express I get a message that says MSIMN has caused
an error in kernel32.dll. Msimn will now close. I can't
send e-mails and i don't have anytime to read e-mails
before that message comes up. I went through my HP help
icon but I get an error that says HTTP error 404 and my
virus scan icon comes on about suspious activity. Mcafee
is no longer helping me because htey say I have no virus,
HP I can't get in touck with and Verizon had me reinstall
my outlook and I got no where. Now they say the virus may
have done some damage and they suggested I come here.
PLease keep in my that I know little about the computers
except how to check my e-mail. Thanks for any help you
may be to me. Tag: rich text files Tag: 216323

Address Book
Each time I make a change to Address Book (c:\program
files\outlook express\wab.exe\ Version 6.0.2800.1123)and
then exit, an icon is written to the desktop whose target
is a file, c:\windows\desktop\~\. This icon is written
immediately after the address book window closes. The
file, ~ , is written and is on the desktop. If you
examine this file with notepad, it appears to hold a copy
of the information in my address book. Scanning the file
with a virus checker yields "No Virus Present". This file
appears to be written at various other times like re-
starts, etc. I've deleted this file on many instances but
it keeps re-appearing. New versions are written each time
address book is altered.
I would appreciate any info on what this is - what it is
part of - why it is present - why it exists.... any of
these!!!! Especially - how do I stop it and get rid of
the source which is writing it???
