thanx for the reply
1 i am using ie7
2 windows xp home edition
3nortons(firewall) windows(firewall) spyhunter(antivirus) and windows defender
basically i have tried everything that i know
deleted cache, used another browser,
i am still haveing the same problem with facebook
i cannot send messages, add friend request, delete applicarions, post on walls or edit, my news status i click with the mouse on the post/edit button and nothing happens at all except that it seems to pageup. no new windows open or even loads for that matter. i have emailed customersupport for facebook and thet seid that it was my operating system. but all the other websites work perfectly except for facebook. and my computer seems to have nothing wrong
i am wondering if it has to do with rundll32.exe or java?
please help
thanx
pete

you can turn XP firewall off..lol about as good as a chocolate fireguard..
you should only need one firewall..choose your personal best?
rundll32 is just running a dll as an application..say if you load User Accounts in control panel, rundll32 would be used as that..

you can try uninstalling flash and java and redoing it.
