Re: Rundll

the expand.exe included in the original setup files will extract inetcpl.cp_
to ../system32/inetcpl.cpl.

Re: Rundll

INETCPL.CPL version 7.0 that ships with Internet Explorer 7 has does have an entrypoint named ClearMyTracksByProcessW. It's possible that you have an older version of the file, or the module is corrupt. Open C:\Windows\System32, right-click INETCPL.CPL and choose Properties. Note down the version number.

Re: Rundll

Sorry for POSTING this here...but I just didn't know where else to find help.

HELP!!!windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl

I foolishly downloaded IE8...tried it for about a month. Too slow, to many bugs. UNINSTALLED ALL of it! So I went to MS got a copy of IE7 (through using Firefox) a copy of the regular and 64bit. Installed 64bit. Nothing except this: c:\windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl and on the next line: Operating system cannot run %1.

Uninstalled again, made sure there were no previous downloads of it. Downloaded them again from MS. Installed the regular. Nothing--just same message. So I did a repair using my Windows XP Pro disk (64 bit). Loaded "that" IE which is I think IE6. It WORKED! So then I got rid of ALL IE7's. Went back downloaded a fresh copy. Installed it...tried it...YAY it work! Used it for a few hours...then.... like a DumDum, I allowed it to perform updates (you know the security patches and stuff) BIG NO NO!!!

Now it doesn't work AGAIN!!! ARGH!!! Getting the same message.

I have been all over hill and dale trying to see if anyone has even gotten this before. But so far cannot find. I love how Microsoft does these things...then WE have ti fix their MESS!!! Oh yeah...and if you TRUST them to...they have the nerve to charge you for SUPPORT.

If not for FIREFOX I would never have gotten this far.

Any help out there?????

Re: Rundll

You've screwed around with your computer so much, I doubt anything short
of a clean install will help you now. Internet Explorer is part of the
Windows operating system, so when Internet Explorer is broken, so is
Windows. Firefox will get you to the internet but it won't fix your copy
of Windows. Neither will blaming "bugs" for your own lack of knowledge.

Re: Rundll

It is obvious the the "lack" of professionalism here.

Your PERSONAL attack of what I wrote (which is fact) proves it.

To correct you sir, I did NOT "screw" with my computer. Though I did not disclose it...I will have you know...a CLEAN install was also performed. Reasons for not documenting ALL that was done...not wanting to make such a long drawn out detail.

IE7 worked flawlessly UNTIL I took advantage of IE8. Upon my searching various forums, etc. the number of users encountering IE8 problems and crashes is mounting-this is NOT news to Microsoft. T

As for your "need" to personally attack someone seeking assistance...CHILL!

You have made it obvious that seeking help here is a worthless endeavor.

The overwhelming number of complaints posted here concerning IE 8 are
caused because:

* the user installed incompatible third-party add-ons;
* the user made incorrect configuration settings;
* the user's computer is infected by malware; and/or
* the user did not follow sound installation procedures.

all of which are avoidable by preparing in advance and doing simple
research on the web. That's why most installations of IE 8 are
trouble-free. This is something /anybody/ can do...no geek credentials
required.

Two things for you:

1. Before you make changes to your computer, /prepare/ by doing
research, just as you would before repairing your faucet or trying a new
recipe. Everything you need to know to install, repair and use IE 8 is
right there on the web.
2- Get into the habit of backing up regularly, and always backup before
making major changes to your computer. That way, if an install or change
goes bust, you're back in business within minutes like nothing happened.

You neglected these two simple steps.

Re: Rundll

CPL is Control Panel and INETCPL.CPL is IE\Properties in Control Panel. You have
played around without knowing what the consequences will be. Now you found out.

What is wrong with the below picture

"UNINSTALLED ALL of it! So I went to MS got a copy of IE7"

You screwed up by not following the instructions on how to remove IE8 as per
instructions and revert back to the previous version of IE.

Bet you did not follow the following which you should have

Re: Rundll

Sorry to highjack but I have a similar problem. I tried downloading an add on for Windows Movie Maker and the download failed. Now we basically get the RunDll Inet.Cpl.cpl error anytime we power up the computer. I've tried running the sfc but the screen dissapears. Any thoughts on what we need to do? Our operating system is Windows XP.
