can't open anything! help!

  pls help!!

i can't do anything with my computer. everytime i try to open a program, or
anything I click like open any documents or files, i get these errors:

rundll32.exe
0xc000142
application error
runtime error

prior to that, i kept on getting the pop-up "my system has encountered a
serious error". i looked for an article/ steps to troubleshoot which says
change the paging file size. When i did and log back on, its says virtual
memory low and now i cant do anything with my pc.

pls help! thanks

 I shall suggest you to scan your system with latest anti-virus application
as well as anti-malware tool in Safe mode.
To repair corrupted Rundll32.exe file:-
  1.. Put the Windows XP CD ROM disk in the CD ROM drive.
  2.. Click Start, and then click Run.
  3.. Type expand X:\i386\rundll32.ex_ c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe in
the Open box, where X is the letter of your CD ROM Drive.
  4.. Restart the computer.
You haven't mentioned how much RAM is there in your system.
This error may happen due to some anti virus softwares.

  HeyJude:


quotes ( don't forget to hit spacebar after ipconfig and before flushdns. This
helped me and it also releases and renews you dns. Also in Administrative tools
under windows components make sure your " dnsclient " is enabled.

For the windows media player error ( OxC000142 ) press start > control panel

windows media player and make sure it is checked, if yes uncheck and recheck
and follow through with the rest of the prompts. Restart computer.

Hope this helps
It did me

1. Open windows media player > click on tools > click options ( dialog box
appears ) > in options dialog box click the performance tab > in the video
acceleration area  slide the bar all the way to the left > click apply >

test to see if the video will play back ( you may need to reboot your
computer with each of these steps )

2. in the video acceleration area click advanced > in the video acceleration
settings dialog box click to clear the check for use overlays > then click to
clear the check box for use high quality mode.

3. Also you can try: Right click on your destop > click properties > in the
