Computer problems...


The Link

Recommended Posts

Alright. So I'm surfing the web yesterday and all of a sudden multiple warnings from programs I never seen in my life pop up. Thinking it is just some virus I run a scan, and quarantine the infected file. I turned my computer on this morning and I can't open anything. It either asks me what I should open it with or gives me an error message, one of which says run32.dll cannot be found. I can't use system restore (or any of the windows tools). Help?

You can try hitting the "F8" key while the computer is booting up and run it in the "Safe" mode. Get off what you can.

Basically, you ran a virus that destroyed your hard drive. Same thing happened to me last Summer. I lost everything. Even 22 chapters of my novel I was writing! :banghead:

Now I back up everything on a seperate hard drive.

Or this:

There are two things this may be the result of. Try the first one and if it does not resolve the issue try the second one.

First

Click Start > type cmd in the run dialog box then press ok. On the command prompt line type "control panel" without the quotation marks. In control panel > folder options > file types > new (button) in the new window click advanced. In the file extension dialog box type exe. In the drop down menu locate and select application > click ok. The link below is to an image for reference.

Secondly

Right click on Start > Search. Type rundll32.exe in the field for files to be searched for. Choose to search your primary drive (usually C). Enable Search Hidden Files and Folder from Advanced Features. Click on Search button to begin the search. In the list of results, locate the rundll32 file associated with C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386. Right click on rundll32 to the left of the aforementioned directory and choose "Open folder location". The rundll32.exe file should be highlighted when the folder opens. Right click on the file and choose copy. Next, in the search results list, right click on rundll32 that corresponds to C\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe and choose "Open folder location". Again the file should be highlighted. Right click on the file and choose delete. Right click again in a free space within the folder and choose paste. If this does not solve your problem you may need to get a windows os disk and extract the file from there.

Once this issue is resolved you will need to create a highjack this log file. I recommend you do not run any malware or virus scanners until after we have completed with highjack this. Post your results for to proceed to the next step.

You should also scan for rootkits. These days trojans often drop an "enabler" program that has no signatures, they simply allow other bad downloads. You can't always assume you're clean even if you find a trojan. Some reading & tools.

    • I agree with this, Frank just looked defeated by week like 6. His heart wasn't in it anymore, it never really was for Bryce. When things went south I think he just kept thinking: I didn't even really want this but I'll stick to the company line because I'm a professional.  I *really* hope Reich comes out one day and says what happens but he strikes me as someone who has a lot of pride and doesn't want to throw Fitterer under the bus too. 
    • We ARE in a rebuild and have been since the end of last season. The hope for a relatively quick turnaround was that Bryce might turn it around and become the guy. It doesn't look like that's happening, so we're basically back to square one. However, we have FINALLY fixed the OL and have a great young RB about to debut for us. We also have promising options in the passing game for the first time in years in XL and Sanders. Defense is a mess, but that's how it goes and a good chunk of that is also injury related. People want to bitch and complain and say we should be rebuilding. Well, THIS is what a rebuild looks like. It's just that we haven't fully committed to it until now when it should have been the plan back in 2019 instead of trying to "soft" reboot the franchise. Rebuilding teams get blown out; it happens all the time. We have to start focusing on the silver linings, of which there are quite a few:  - The OL is, at long last, fixed.  - That includes Brady Christensen, who now looks like our long-term answer at center.  - It also includes Ickey, who is finally playing consistently good football.  - Both the FA guards we signed are playing their asses off.  - Jaycee Horn is finally healthy.  - Chuba Hubbard has emerged as one of the better RBs in the NFL.  - Jalen Coker looks like a keeper on offense.  - Trevin Wallace looks like a keeper on defense.  - Jonathon Brooks is about to debut.  - J.T. Sanders is improving each week and is coming off his best game.  - XL looks like a future stud. There are positives, but it's going to be an up and down process. Some weeks we'll look good (Raiders), others we'll look OK (Falcons), and others we'll get our doors blown off (Commanders). That's what a rebuilding football teams looks like.
    • agreed but their defense (also decimated by injuries) is better than our defense. I think they sneak one or two more out again some bad division opponents
