First, thank you very much for your time! I am going crazy... I have spent hours upon hours searching the net and cannot find a solution!
1. I think I may have deleted my rundll32.exe, however I'm not quite sure how it happened. There is no rundll32.exe on my computer, when I search for it ( can see hidden files) nothing comes up. It is not in my "cache". However, when I go into C hard drive windows folder and search rundll32 it is there......... meaning it is not deleted and must be faulty? Whenever I try to run or open certain things I get the rundll32.exe error. ALso, upon bootup before the password screen there is an error message that has something to do with acer ( I need to write down what it says and I will post that up )
2. I have tried downloading a couple things that claim to fix rundll32 however I cannot open them/unzip them
3. I have ran malware bytes and my norton and they say my PC is clean- so I do not believe a virus is causing.
4. I ran the scf/scannow feature and the message that I got back was some files were fixed and others were not repairable. I was following directions from a forum and managed to save what I believe is the not repairable items. I have copy/pasted below. If you want me to send you the file, tell me how to do it.. I tried to attach but it isn't showing in the post.

5. I tried doing system restore, however it tells me that the restore wizard is access denied. In safe mode that restore folder just doesn't open or respond when I click on it.
I do not have the vista cd.
I have gateway computer, vista home premium, 64 bit
thank you again for your time, and I hope someone has a solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
