When right clicking on desktop, to make display changes, after clicking on properties, I get the error message "Cannot find file C:\Windows\System32\Rundll32.exe." I previously had run the disk cleanup utility in windows, and probably ended up deleting this file. How do I go about recovering this file? Restoring my system to an earlier time did not work!1 person needs an answerI do too

1. Put the Windows XP CD ROM disk in the CD ROM drive. 2. Click Start, and then click Run. 3. Type expand X:\i386\rundll32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe in the Open box, where X is the letter of your CD ROM Drive. 4. Restart the computer. .

Received no CDRom with computer. I believe I have to access that online with Compaq/HP. I'm not quite sure! THANKS!

You can use a borrowed XP installation CD to run that repair..

Thanks for the help!
