delete temp files rundll32.exe not responding
deleting temp files doesn't quit running. Turning off Win XP causes several
apps to end--except rundll32.exe. I get message it is not responding. I click on ending it. I can restart ok. Same thing happens again. I can find the file doing a search. If the file is messed up--how do I replace it? -- hwhamilton |

delete temp files rundll32.exe not responding
Hi, Thanks for your reply and help. What finally worked was running
ccleaner. I can't believe it removed 1,507.5 MB of stuff. Took 6923 seconds. I was in the habit of deleting history and cookies, etc every week or so. It puzzles me where ccleaner found all the stuff to delete. -- hwhamilton "nass" wrote: "Helen" wrote: deleting temp files doesn't quit running.
