Raining_again Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'm nearly sure rundll32 is a pretty important part of your OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Why does that keep coming up? It only started doing it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Somethings trying to access rundll32 to use it... Sounds a bit dodgy tbh, although wait for a second opinion - i'm not really 100% on vista, as I stopped using it ^__^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Rundll32 does what it describes, it runs .dll files, program components that can be loaded dynamically. As there's no webpage yet, I'm pretty sure IE loads a new DLL for using tabs, and confuses it with a program being run from the internets. My guess is you can allow it.

Konfucius Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Maybe tick the "Do not show me the warning for this program again" checkbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 1. Use firefox. 2. Look up this IE 'Protected Mode' thing, try and turn it off in the settings or so. 3. I think it's also a part of Windows Defender, so go into control panel and have a shufty round in the Windows Defender settings and whatnot. 4. These suggestions might not solve the problem entirely.

MoogleViper Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Maybe tick the "Do not show me the warning for this program again" checkbox? It's greyed out and won't let me click it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadKill Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Why would you want to turn IE Protected mode off, you do know that's one of the main new security features in Vista, right? You can't have it without UAC enabled, though... but it basically runs your IE in a seperate, restricted user, so it cannot do system wide damage, this is more secure than running Firefox as an admin - but generally Vista has better security anyway.. (or so you'd hope). Either way I have no idea why this dialogue keeps appearing for you, but yes, rundll32 is an important system process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Well I've started using firefox instead. I don't know why everybody raves about it I prefer IE. But at least the box doesn't keep popping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
