C:\WINDOWS\system32\usvdgpo.dll.This error message indicates that the program ‘usvdgpo’ is causing the run.dll error on the system. Once the program is identified, the next step is to stop it manually. For this, you go to the start menu and click run, now type ‘services.msc’ in the dialog box, and press ‘Enter’. After that right-click the related process to your rundll error and then click the ‘Stop’ button to stop the program. Now close the window. Though this action will stop the process it will not remove the reference to the bogus items. To remove that you will have to remove the program from the Windows Registry. This can be done by typing ‘Regedit’ in the Run dialog box. This will open the registry editor. From the keys listed in the left panel, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run. Now right-click on this key and click delete and then simply close the windows registry and reboot your system. After this, you will then have to uninstall the program to completely eradicate the rundll error. To do this, go to the control panel, Add/remove programs, and right-click to uninstall the program causing the run.dll error on your system. Click yes to confirm your decision. Once the program is uninstalled, reinstall the program using the program CD to get yourself an error-free program. This procedure is tricky, time-consuming, and maybe slightly challenging for you especially if you are not a computer programmer.
