Rundll32.exe error on Vista
My son's PC is running Vista Business. Some applications are returning the following message when I try to open them, including some from the Control Panel: "This file does not have a program associatiated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations Control Panel." In the title bar of that window reads c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.

Hi marioanaya,

welcome aboard.

Ramesh Srinivasan has a really nice fix for this problem. Check out File association fixes for Windows Vista and follow the instructions.

If you are having any problems get back to me,

Hope this helps.

regards

Steve

Yes ^ Ramesh's site is an Authority on Windows fixes.

Also: To set File Associations in Windows Vista, Open Control Panel > Programs > 'Make a file type always open in a specific program'

I have the same problem too, but I get this when I start up my computer. When I used the link above that fixes, it didn't solve my problem. The error still pops up when ever I turn on/restart my vista.

I also get another error pop up for "C:\Windows\System32\mrt.exe

I have screen shots of these errors:

After I click on okay, I get another error with newdev.exe



And for the mrt.exe screen shot:


If you guys can help me solve this problem it would be great.
Thanks!
