Hello all. My sister is having a problem with Rundll32 and can not get online to download any fixes because her AOL wont install correctly because of the Rundll32 error. Is there a way to fix the error offline? Any informatioin would be much appreciated.

The exact error was:
Windows can not find Rundll32.exe. Program is needed for opening files of type IBD files.

Another time it said the same error but with BAK files.

If rundll32.exe is truly corrupt or missing, it can be reinstalled from the .cab files either on the hard drive or on the Windows installation CD. The restore process (and the location of the "fresh" copy of the file) may vary depending on your exact version of Windows; try some of the suggestions in this Google search:
