RUNDLL start up error window. Do I have a problem?

[apistomaster]

Hello,
This is my first time submitting a question but I need some expertise
to help me understand the following:
During startup I am getting a window with the header: RUNDLL
Below is a circle with an X inside it and the following: Error loading/
3/DLCDtime.dll
The specified module could not be found.
1. Do I have a problem?
2. Is it something I can fix?
3. If yes, then how?

This message has been appearing for about six weeks. I am assuming I
have changed or deleted something by accident that was unintended.

I have a Dell E1505 Laptop with Windows XP Home Edition, purchased new
April 2006.

This is the first PC I have ever owned so most issues are new to me.
I have been trying to learn from this forum and I have Windows XP Home
Edition, The Missing Manual by David Pogue that has helped me through
most of my stages of crawling up the learning curve.

I wonder if it is a Dell specific dll? Have you contacted Dell tech support?

that file is related to Dell photo printers. You might need to uninstall
and reinstall the printer drivers and software.

Yes, I do have a Dell Printer, 944 AIO that is connected
intermittantly.
If my OP was inapprpriate, I am sorry. I see others asking for a
little troubleshooting advice and if my seeking advice offends some
protocol; unknown to me, then advice on the appropriate place to ask
MY question would be more appreciated than tactless remarks.
Only the first time I have ever tried to use this to get assistance.

Yes, I intermittantly connect to a Dell 944 AIO printer.

I will try the recommendations.

BTW, this was my first post of a question and AFAIK, was little
different from thousands of others.
PA Bear, [This is a newsgroup, not a forum[ seemed either a
condescending and not helpful comment.
Perhaps, a simple, [Best place to ask...] would have been more
informative and polite. Not all are born omniscient.
