Default Need a file from Vista X64 system folder

I was having system32dll. exe problems and I'm a bit worry if it's corrupted somehow


The file is system32dll.exe

Can anyone help me? My Vista disc is damaged so repairing from CD is a no go.

Of course it goes without saying I can only accept the file from forum members that I know or can trust.

Thanks

Definetly think it's a bogus file. No such thing as a xxxxdll.exe as far as I know; it's either a .dll (dynamic-link library file) or .exe (executable).

No it's not a bogus file, at least according to this :

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...is-it-running/


Anyway I got it sorted out. It seems that a failed to kick in system restore messed with my system and I had to log in to admin account to realize this. Anyway the warning that windows host run32dll has to be closed is now gone somehow.

rundll32.exe makes all the difference from system32dll.exe...

Oooooops.

Forgot to scan in hidden folders. No wonder I couldn't find it.

Glad you're all sorted anyway, Castout.
