How to Fix a Plug


1. Refresh the page that is having a plug-in error. Frequently the plug-in simply did not load fully or properly and refreshing the page can reload it and fix the problem. You can do this by pressing the 'F5' key in most browsers. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
2. Close your browser and press 'Control' plus 'Alt' plus 'Delete' on your computer. Click on the 'Processes' tab and look to make sure your browser process is not in the list (it will be listed as an .exe file associated with your browser). If it is still present in the list, select it and end the process. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
3. Update your plug-in. This can most easily be done by downloading and installing the most recent version of the plug-in that crashed from the developer's web page. It is recommended to fully uninstall the old plug-in first. Install and uninstall options can usually be found under 'Tools' in the top menu and under 'Add-ons' or 'Manage Add-ons' in most browsers. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
4. Ensure that plug-ins and ActiveX controls are enabled. These are frequently found under 'Tools' and 'Options' or 'Internet Options' in the top menu bar on most browsers. Enable both of these if they are disabled at all. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
5. Update your browser. This can generally be done by clicking on 'Help' and 'Check for Updates' in the top menu. Check to see if the plug-in error remains on the web page; continue if it does.
6. Reboot your computer. This is the last step to fixing the problem if the previous steps did not fix it. If the plug-in error continues contact your local computer technician as you may have something else causing the problem not directly related to the problem itself.

How to Fix Computer Errors


1. If you are getting excessive pop ups, clean your PC with an anti spyware program. Although people confuse spyware with viruses often, these are generally much less harmful, but have the ability to invade your privacy, and often steal personal data gathered from your computer. Several great applications to deal with this include Spybot, Adaware, and Glarys Utilities, all of which can quickly fix or diagnose computer error messages.
2. To better fix computer problems, if you notice odd behavior in your Operating System or suddenly cannot access certain data, ensure your anti virus program is updated. Scan your entire system immediately while all applications are shut down. If possible, disable your entire internet connection while your anti virus program cleans any potential threat on your computer.
3. If you notice that certain hardware is not doing its job, such as a malfunctioning printer, mouse, web cam or other, you may be in need of their respective device drivers. Make note of the last time they worked successfully, if ever. Go to the hardware manufacturer's website and look for the "Support" section, where the program installation files are generally found. Install these devices one at a time and follow any on-screen instructions (some may require that you have the hardware unplugged, others connected) and restart your computer if asked to do so.
4. If there is any program or hardware that worked in the past but suddenly stops working, there may be a file conflict in your system. In other words, chances are you installed another program or hardware that shares or otherwise conflicts with your malfunctioning program or device. In this case, think backwards and take note of the last change you made to your computer. Remove anything recently installed in order to find a solution to the problem. You may need to contact your program/hardware manufacturer for a possible workaround, such as the installation of newer files to fix computer errors at hand.
5. Finally, if your computer freezes on startup and cannot boot into your Operating System, this could be caused by yet another hardware/software conflict, missing system files, or other. Run the repair function by inserting your Operating System's disc and have it reinstall all system files. Otherwise, backup all your data and reinstall your system again for maximum stability.

How to Fix Mfc71.dll


Tasks that can fix the error
1. Shut your system down. Turn it off completely and let it sit for a count of 10. Oftentimes, the system will find the missing file just by doing a hard reboot.
2. Update the Mfc71.dll security patch. Do this only if you're on a Windows 2000 or a Windows XP operating system. Download the file from Microsoft and install it.
3. Make sure your anti-virus software is up to date. This can usually be done manually after opening the anti-virus software. Since there are many anti-virus programs, each one updates differently. Generally, the icon is on the taskbar in the bottom right-hand side of your computer screen. Right click on the icon. Sometimes an 'update' command can be accessed at this point by scrolling to the 'update now' or something similar. Sometimes the anti-virus software has to be opened with a double click to be updated.
4. Perform a complete system scan for viruses. Be sure to scan the 'Temp,' 'System' and 'Program Files' as these are the files where the viruses have been known to be found.

How to Repair Crypt32 Dll


1. Open your recycle bin. One of the simplest causes of a missing crypt32.dll file is that you might have accidentally deleted it. If you find the file in the recycle bin then right-click on it and click 'Restore.'
2. Re-install a particular program if a crypt32.dll error pops up when you run that program. The re-installation process should not only re-install the program, but also the crypt32.dll file which goes along with the program.
3. Install any Windows updates that your computer prompts you to. Included in these updates are often new service packs which can include important .dll files--including crypt32.dll.
4. Scan your system with an antivirus program like AVG, Norton or Kaspersky and a malware detecting program such as Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes or SpyBot. Sometimes an error with the crypt32.dll file can point to a problem in your system registry, which these scans will root out.
5. Restore your system to an earlier date, in particular to a date just before you began to receive error messages relating to the crypt32.dll file. If you restore your system to a point before the errors then there is every chance you could restore the file.

How to Remove Rundll EXE Error


Virus Issue
1. Press 'Ctrl,' 'Alt' and 'Delete' simultaneously. Wait for Task Manager to appear. Select the 'Processes' tab at the top of the window and locate the rundll.exe process from the list that appears.
2. Note the amount of RAM used by the process. If there is an unusually large amount of RAM being used, you probably have a virus.
3. Open your antivirus program and select scan 'Computer' or 'C:.' Expect the antivirus program to start scanning and click 'Delete' when it finds the virus and finishes. Scan the computer one more time just to be on the safe side.
4. Download a free virus program like AVG, Avast, or Avira, if you do not have an antivirus program on your computer. Choose to 'Save' the program when you are prompted to either run or save. Locate the program where you saved it and click twice to start the installation. Click 'Finish' when the program completes.
5. Insert a flash memory stick in the USB port of another computer, if you cannot access the Internet or download the free antivirus on the infected computer. Download and save the free antivirus to the flash drive. Remove the flash memory stick and insert it in the USB port of the infected computer. Wait for the flash drive folder to automatically open and click the antivirus icon twice to install it. Wait for the installation to complete.
6. Open the newly installed antivirus program and click 'Scan.' Choose the 'C:' drive or the 'Computer' as the area to scan. Eliminate any virus the program finds. Scan the computer again just to make sure all the infected files are removed.
Program Issues
7. Go to the 'Start' menu and click 'Control Panel,' 'Programs' and 'Programs and Features.'
8. Locate the program you most recently installed or uninstalled. Click 'Uninstall' and wait for the program utility to finish.
9. Reinstall the program using the CD or by downloading and clicking on the installation file again. Go to the website from which you downloaded the program and click 'Download' again. Choose to 'Save' the program. Wait for the download to complete and click the installation icon twice to start the installation again. Sometimes files become corrupt in the download process and when these install they cause the rundll.exe error. By downloading the program again or reinstalling the application you eliminate that corrupt file.
Using MSCONFIG
10. Go to the 'Start' menu and select 'Run.' Type 'MSCONFIG' to open the Windows Configuration window.
11. Choose 'Selective Start-up' and select the 'Selective Start-up' option. Place a check mark on the first option and click 'OK.'
12. Restart the computer. See if the error is fixed. The computer will automatically fix the rundll.exe error with just the one program running.
13. Follow Steps 1 and 2 again, but check only the second option and restart the computer as you did in Step 3. Continue in this way until the problem is fixed.
14. Return to the selective start-up menu and check all the programs once you have gone through them one by one. Use your computer as you normally do.
