Microsoft C++ Visual Runtime Library: Whenever I right click my desktop?

Question

I'm not sure why, but whenever I right click my desktop, I get this message:
http://s152.photobucket.com/albums/s197/shotofchaos/?action=view¤t=ErrorBox.jpg

Anyone know why? Also, whenever I start my computer and log in, there are two similar dialog boxes that say nearly the same thing, except instead of Explorer.exe, its something about runddl or something.

Someone please help, I hate not being able to right click my desktop.

Oh, and when I click OK on that dialog box in the picture, it reloads my desktop.

Unfortunately you have some programs conflicting somewhere on your computer. Could be an add on or a plug in, this problem happens to quite a lot people but in different occurrences, some people have fixed there problem by removing google toolbar in IE, others problems might stem from there anti virus software itself. Try rebooting int safe mode, do this by pressing the F8 key at boot up. It will ask you if you want to go into safe mode, do it, then right click on your desktop and if you get your menu with no error then it is safe to say that some programs on your computer might be causing problems. Maybe an update got corrupted or something, or some new program or plug in you installed caused it. In which case you will have to isolate it and remove it. If you get this error in safe mode as well, your problem is embedded more in your system itself, in which case you can try using system restore to a date when right clicking worked, if that works then good deal. Else you might be stuck just reinstalling everything from scratch.

As for rundll error, I believe this this problem usually occur when an update gets corrupted or something interrupted it(powered off or crashed) when your update was accessing your rundll file. This is a critical system file, you might fix all your problems by replacing it with a new one in your system directory, although I'm not quite sure where it resides could be system32. All your problems could have been caused by spyware, adware, worms or viruses as well. You will probably be better off reinstalling from scratch if system restore doesn't work.

Good Luck!
