When I boot XP ,after a minute I get a "rundll" error loading
with a target of "documentsandsettings/owner/systems.dll".
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Sounds like an orphaned start-up entry referring to the "c:\documents and
settings/owner/systems.dll". Verify the file is in this location. If not
then remove the orphaned entry using Microsoft Autoruns.
Download Autoruns from Microsoft to your Desktop.

Extract the Autoruns Zip file contents to a folder. Double-click
"Autoruns.exe". Click on the "Everything" tab. Remove any entries that
mention "File Not Found" by right-clicking the entry to select Delete.
Also you should scan your computer for infections as the "c:\documents and
settings/owner/systems.dll" sounds very suspicious to me.

If the file systems.dll exists in that location then I would submit the file
for inspection by using this website:
