Rundll32 "not responding" when shutting down

[Jose]

When I shut down or restart Win XP (home edition) I get
a "ending program" dialog for rundll32. If I don't
hit "end now" it goes on to the "program not responding"
dialog and I have to hit "end now" to complete the
shutdown. This started recently when I had to reinstall
Windows after a system crash (probably caused by
overheating of the processor). Any ideas as to why this
is happening and what to do about it?
Thanks,
JAS

I have a similar problem, but its during start up, I get

a warning"rundll" with "bridge.dll not found" I have
pest patrol,a spyware program and I think it adviced me
to delete it. I have to press "ok" in order to continue
start up. Its bothersome, any ideas how to get rid of
message? Im running xp home edition, year old pc.

If you reinstalled Windows did you reinstall all the updates?
