Now the selected theme is classic even i tried to change Win XP Original theme but showing same problem Pls help me to solve the problem.......

 

Hello iamirshad,

That is a very, very non-specific error. Sort of like Windows saying to you, "hey, something is busted" and leaving you to figure out what. A DLL is a library (collection) of stuff a program needs at various times to do whatever that application is suppose to do. Rundll32.exe does the housekeeping (loads and unloads files) so it will be working with most of the programs you run.

Bad news is it is most often related to malware/adware/virus. Where did this theme come from?

Does not mean this is always the case but eliminating this as possibility is a place to start. Please pay a visit to our malware/virus forum where a trained member will help you. Read the faq at the top and follow instructions.

You may be tempted to run a restore point but please don't do this. This will only complicate things.

Good luck.

Opps, I see Arie had this covered. Sure need typing lessons to increase speed.

 

I'm having the exact same problem as iamirshad, I followed the instructions of the forum and searched for identical posts, I'm confused though, he hasnt posted his log or replied yet, and its been 2 days. what should i do? should i post my log in that forum and ask for help? should i start a new topic? please help. the classic theme is so depressing and i want to get this resolved as fast as possible.
thanks.

 

i will do that, thank you so much
