repair rundll32 exe blunder together with registry
It all started one dark and gloomy night years back. I was awakened by this strange glow in the darkness as this seemingly innocent creature came to life. Its one eye looked at me as if it had just stolen my soul. Little did I realize just how right I was as a hypnotizing message flashed across its screen Windows 95! Instantly I was hooked and drawn into its web like a spider catching a fly.
Like 90% of all computer users I have and have always used Windows. Windows made the world and the internet what it is today and it is by far the best OS out there. This fact alone scares me because it means the last of a generation rules the web today. Like many from the older generations, they accomplished things people today just don’t have the imagination or the skills to match. These past great generations did things like: Defeat Nazi Germany, put a man on the moon, and created the home PC.
Unfortunately, we got stuck with a beast born from the mist of time when many great things happened. Now we don’t know what to do with it, or more accurately Microsoft doesn’t know what to do with it. Through the years, I watched as Windows grew and developed into what should have been a great product. However, somewhere along the line Microsoft lost its vision, its drive, and its desire to be user friendly. Microsoft came down with a dreaded disease and the symptoms were greed and laziness.
Through its development early on Windows grew and tried to make its product better usually tried to make everything work together within Windows. Then came XP, which true to Microsoft’s haphazard policies of release then fix also worked pretty good, at least after the OS updates came out. Then Microsoft decided to also release XP Professional which gave me a glimpse of what was in store for me when the new Vista OS was to come out.
I upgraded my XP home version to Professional I believe it was called. First thing it did was over write every single driver on my PC and replaced them with Microsoft ones. No longer did my sound card work right and my graphics card was useless. Upon attempting to re-install my graphics card it crashed my PC, pissing me off to no end. I got mad and decided to remove this version and go back to my cozy XP home version.
To my horror I found myself face to face with the first PC vampire and it sucked. I discovered embedded within the Microsoft version a virus. This virus was inactive and only activated if you tried to un-install the professional version. While removing this version it activated and overwrote my backup drive, copying drive C: onto my backup drive in an attempt to prevent me from un-installing it. Luckily, I also had things backed up on CD just in case. Eventually, I removed my backup drive and the blood sucking program I got cursed with.
Later on I needed a new PC in order to accomplish many things and even to play the newer games since everything was growing in minimal requirements so fast and I got stuck with Vista. Right away I noticed a few problems with Vista, the main one being it’s designed to suck my wallet dry as well as sucking the patient’s right out of me. Vista is not designed to be user friendly it’s designed to annoy the user. So I have to ask myself « What moron thought it was a good idea to piss off everyone you intend to make money from? »
At the same time I also have to laugh at the fact that this approach has backfired on Microsoft. Microsoft falsely claims Vista is setup to be more secure. Secure from what? I can still have my PC infected just as fast by a virus. Spyware still can sit on my PC and track my every move, so what am I more secure from? They say it can prevent unauthorized users from changing system settings unless you have administrative privileges. Don’t most of us have the password to change these anyway? So the answer is Vistas changes do nothing to make a PC more secure. Its primary purpose is to annoy the user and vista sucks.
Another reason I don’t like Vista is it is not designed to be backwards compatible. Many programs and even hardware that worked great on XP suddenly found themselves out of luck on Vista. To the dismay of XP users many games and even virus programs that just came out and even older ones didn’t work on Vista. What makes most of us even madder then a fox in an empty hen house is the fact that expensive hardware like surround sound also didn’t work well. In a 360, Microsoft worked to remove support of these products from their operating system and through updates; I soon found my PC with no surround sound options at all.
My expensive surround sound no longer works and I only hear two speakers and neither my speaker manufacture, or Microsoft intends to fix this problem to my knowledge. Upon searching the internet I found this problem wider spread then I thought. Everyone was having sound problems and many have useless surround sound speakers and sound cards that no longer work. So if you are considering a new sound card or surround sound speakers, think twice because they may not work. This leads me to my next reason why I believe Microsoft is sucking my wallet dry and why it’s sucking the dream from America.
I decided (stupidly) that maybe if I updated to SP-1 it would fix my problems. So after making over a dozen attempts I finally got it to install. It seems in Microsoft’s zest to annoy its users it also accomplished something else. It made updating it’s own software almost impossible. Unlike other updates you can’t just select and install because vista won’t allow it. You have to manually reconfigure your start up files until you find the right combination that allows SP-1 to install. Wasn’t Vista security supposed to keep most users from messing with important system files they knew nothing about?
After finally getting SP-1 installed I noticed a big problem with it. It’s not compatible with what it is supposed to be updating. Vista being user unfriendly is also update unfriendly and won’t allow SP-1 to install correctly, or maybe it’s just because whoever designed it was to stupid to test and fix it before releasing it. After installing SP-1, I kept getting an error message « rundll32 stopped working. » I have to ask what idiot decided to release SP-1 without including an updated rundll32 that would work with the update. Or is it the update won’t work with rundll32, anyway why release something you know won’t work correctly. So being more steamed then a bowl of vegetables on a chinese dish I decided to remove SP-1 since there is no solution to it’s problems.
Then the answer came to me! Microsoft is no longer concerned with the user, their image, or quality because it’s all about greed. Microsoft like most businesses today want their CEO’S to make as much as possible while screwing everyone else. The same is true of the quality of workers they now employ. Instead of hiring the best, they hire the cheapest labor usually from H-1 Visa’s or something. Many ex-programmers and such have pointed out requirements they ask for from an American verses what they will except from a foreign worker. Unlike years ago, such employees don’t need any real training or experience to fill a position. Only Americans need experience and Bill Gates is lobbying to open the immigration flood gates to ensure no skilled American ever gets a good job again.
Most cuts in all areas within companies are done in the false claim « operating costs are high. » Then why is every time a cut is made, that money goes into the CEO’S pocket instead of back into the business. Here’s a solution to all our problems here in the U.S. Hold CEO’S to a higher standard and increase jail times for those who fail or rob the company blind. Put a cap on all CEO’S pay, remove all bonuses and such, decrease H-1 visa’s, and require companies to re-invest this wasted capital back into the business to maintain better wages and fund healthcare for its employees.
See all of our current problems today within our country stem from the greed of a few. They cut everything from businesses to fatten one guy’s wallet at the top. Issues like healthcare, fair wages, and even immigration would not be the problems they are if companies were forced to do the right thing for all of a company’s employees and for our country’s economic well being. Instead we are stuck with a top heavy system that is ruled by greed and sucks the life out of everyone else.
