The HJT looks clean (doesn't mean that nothing in your system has been altered and indeed it seems RUNDLL.EXE is missing).
Registry clean - Advanced Windows Care (free) or Uniblue Registry Cleaner (costs).
So, first try and clean the registry and now's the time to put your Windows CD into the drive, boot from it and use the REPAIR option tobring all the right files back.

ok i ran reg cleaner and then tried to boot from disc and the computer would not let me. I hit F8 and tried to boot from disc but the computer freezes and will not even let me move the selection to anything or acknowledge im hitting a button. I tried to hit any key when it asked to hit any key to boot from cd and that did not work. The CD i have is Windows XP Home edition and its not SP2. So it will not allow me to install even if i try to run when the computer is on. What can i do?

Are you saying that you can't even boot normally? Or did I misunderstand?
Anyway, I see your problem here - re-installing SP1 over SP2 whilst not having the benefit of RUNDLL.EXE.
So, with your enfeebled SP2 system, you could try to uninstall SP2; the feature should be there in Add/Remove programs.
Then the SP1 repair ought to work - if not you're completely stuffed and a reinstall from scratch id needed. Copy your data files to a USB drive or something, wipe the disk and reinstall.
Also if I didn't misunderstand, if you're having problems booting from the CD, there used to be a trick in the BIOS - if you hold down the C key right at the start of booting it would boot from the Windows CD. I've never tried it in XP so it may/may not work.
But it MUST boot from CD if you can set the BIOS to give priority to the CD. You would do this by pressing a key (it's F2 on my Dell - your boot screen will flash a key choice in the top right/left corner of the screen at boot start). Hit that key at boot start and enter the BIOS. You'll find the boot priority menu in there and you can declare the CD as the first boot device.
Anyway, somewhere in the above, I've covered your present situation and what to do about it.
Best of luck and I'm sorry you're in this mess.

It boots normally just won't boot from disc and when i restart it doesn't tell me anything, it shows a picture of the intel inside and then it goes black then windows shows up thats it. When i hit F8 a screen comes up to boot from another location. Problem is i can't move the selection or even select anything its almost as if the screen freezes. I can't remove SP2 as add/remove programs wn't come up as computer cannot find rundll32. So i am in a huge mess with this system. I have no idea how to access the BIOS or access anything. Its really jacked up.. I REALLY GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!! THANK YOU!!! I deploy in a month and a half and this is the only computer i will have with me and i need it up and running properly.

First, it might help if you describe the affected hardware. I might have missed it in an earlier post, but a refresh on page 2 won't hurt.
You have absolutely no choice now but to re-install your Windows system. The headline steps are (a day's solid work):
1 Copy your data files off to another medium
2 Wipe your disk completely
3 Reinstall XP SP1
4 Download & reinstall XP SP2
5 Restablish your applications
6 Copy yur data back
If you have access to a second PC, then you can invest in a suitable USB enclosure (matched to your HDD type) and attach the afflicted disk to the second PC. You can then copy your data files off to the second PC and wipe the HDD afterwards with Format.
Now to booting from CD on the afflicted PC. When the Intel Inside flash comes on, there will be a message on screen to tell you which key to press in order to get into the BIOS menu. Your documentation may tell you whch key that is. Otherwise start with ESC and work through to F12 and Delete. One of these keys, pressed immediately after boot power is applied, will bring up the boot menu. When the BIOS boot menu appears, find the entry that allows you to specify the boot order and put the CD device at the top.
The rest is following the Windows menu. F8 should not be involved in this case.
