Error Loading Shell32.dll Access Denied
all updates, 2GB memory, full virus scanning and firewall. Yesterday, after the latest Windows update (and it may be coincidental), a number of functions generate the following message: [X] Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll Access is denied The system works generally but there are a number of items, especially via Control Panel, that can no longer be accessed. I have searched online for solutions to this, but do not see this problem described. Details: ==================== CANNOT access either via Control Panel (shell32.dll access denied) or via start-run .cpl files (nothing happens): Accessibility Options Add Hardware Add or Remove Programs Automatic Updates ClearType Tuning Color Date and Time Display Internet Options Java Keyboard Mouse Network Setup Wizard Phone and Modem Options Power Options Quicktime Regional and Language Options Security Center SoundMax Sounds and Audio Devices Speech System User Accounts Wacom Tablet Properties Windows CardSpace Windows Firewall Wireless Network Setup Wizard Also cannot access: System via Windows-Pause/Break Display options via right-click on desktop ==================== CAN access via Control Panel: Administrative Tools Folder Options Fonts Network Connections Printers and Faxes Scanners and Cameras Scheduled Tasks Taskbar and Start Menu Also can access: CTL-ALT-DEL Task Manager CTL-ESC Programs and Documents Device Manager via Computer Management window Internet Options from IE (which I only use for Windows updates), but some options (such as delete history and temporary files) generate the same shell32.dll error. ==================== The shell32.dll is: 6.00.2900.3241 (xpsp_sp2_qfe.071025-1245) 8,486,912 bytes October 25, 2007. ==================== On the Microsoft support site, I re-ran the WindowsXP-KB943460-x86- ENU.exe, since this described a shell32.dll security issue. It installed, but there was no change. Where do I go from here? Thank you, Dennis Kalvos, Feb 13, 2008 #1 Advertisements John John

While in Xfire I downloaded 2 patches for COD4 (v 1.4 & 1.5). While downloading, Comodo came up with an update request which I allowed. I stopped the downloads for COD4 because they where taking too long. Then I tried to open COD4 and got RUNDLL message "Error loading NvCpl.dll' Access Denied. Retry with same problem. I went to Control Panel to remove the suspected Xfire (which I can live without) villain but could not open 'Add/Remove Programs' with RUNDLL message "Err

Hi, I've suddenly ran into this problem : When i try to open some items in the Control Panel like Sound or Mouse i get this message : "Error loading C:\Windows\sysem32\shell32.dll - Access is denied". Some other items like fonts work just fine. Any idea how to solve this ? Reports: · Posted 8 years ago Top jd2066 Posts: 3814 This post has been reported. It sounds like the security permissions on shell32.dll got messed up somehow. Did you run any tweaks or programs like Take Ownership recently?
