how to fix RunnDLL C:\PROGRA~3\B8D38CF4F.cpp

[Richard10160]

At Start up I get error Runn DLL C:\OROGRAM~3\B8D38CF4F.cpp

Where can I find this to install

best I know on rundll is that its core windows and it calls up the dll library when a program is started that requires one or some from it so I would think something you got comes up during start up causing this due to the dll is not there or corrupted in some way .. so I would start disabling any start up programs that is not necessary for a clean boot 3ed party stuff first ?? or see if it will error in safe mode start up ..

also if this is not a typo it don't seem to be correct [ C:\OROGRAM~3\B8D38CF4F.cpp ] -- C:\OROGRAM should this not be c:\program ??? if so that is where I'd start

That sounds like a kind of malware infection (it just trying to run a random file name that is a c plus plus program as a dll). Your best bet would be to run malwarebytes anti-malware (it is a free scanner from malwarebytes.org) and have it remove the infection from you. Just FYI, the "c:\program~3" is a short name used in the past by legacy systems which used fat file systems which only supported 8 letter + 3 letter extension names for files. Anything that had the same first letters would have ~1, ~2, etc to differentiate them.
