BleepingComputer.com: Runtime Error - System32\rundll32.exe

I have been dealing with several runtime errors for a few months, but as they do not cause crashes or hangups I've been able to ignore them. However, I recently purchased an external display monitor for my laptop and cannot install the driver or make adjustments to the display without running into a runtime error. Now its a problem.

Operating System: Vista SP1

Here are the errors:

1. When I right-click on my desktop to access my display or desktops settings the following runtime error appears:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
C:\windows\explorer.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

2. When I click on the "advanced settings" in "display settings" I get the following runtime error:

Microsoft Visucal C++ Runtime Library
C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

3. I am unable to perform system restore. SR tells me to create a restore point. When I do I get the following message.

Restore Point
The restore point could not be created for the following reason:
The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the specified operation. (0x8004320F)
Please try again.

I have used registry mechanic to clean up any registry issues.
I have scanned PC with Norton and Spybot S&D, but both scans are clean.

Problem still persists.

Any suggestions on how to correct this problem would be appreciated.

Runs Windows update and see if that fixes it, you dont have the newest service pack of vista

Check the optional updates to see if there's anything that relates to C++ or CRM - update that also.
Most errors of this sort are associated with problems in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM (and I have no clue about what that is), and interestingly - most of the results are in French. Do you have a French version of Windows or of some software that you've installed?

Sorry, but SP1 is the latest service pack for Vista Home Premium. Windows Update does not provide any other download options for a SP. Checking microsoft website reveals that there is a SP2 RC for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista but it is pre-release software for testing purposes only.

No other optional updates for C++ either, and unfortunately I don't speak french.


checked website: http://ronaldlemmen.blogspot.com/2009/01/e...ges-in-crm.html Restore Point Error message listed as:

The bill-to address of the contract is invalid.
IDS_CONTRACT_INVALID_BILLTO_ADDRESS

No clue what this means.

Reformat to xp then or wait for the new service pack, sorry
vista sucks

SP2 for Vista is in RC right now (I'm testing it on my Vista systems and it seems stable).

I doubt that this is an issue with a Service Pack or an update - as there'd be more on the web about it.
This could also have been caused by the registry cleaner that you're using - we don't recommend them here.

I'd suggest uninstalling the Visual C++ update on your system. I can't find it on mine, but it's either in the Installed Updates in Windows Update, or the Program and Features...Uninstall a program applet in Control Panel.

Once it's uninstalled, download the appropriate C++ Redistributable from the links below and install it:
