I am getting a RUNDLL32.exe error when I shutdown my
computer. How do I fix this?

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

Inspect the startup applications. Use MSCONFIG to manage the startup entries or use a third-party utility.

Scan the system for spyware using these tools:
Lavasoft Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
SpyBot S&D - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder : http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe

If it's not caused by spyware, here is a neat way to track down what the Rundll32.exe is executing.

Click Start, Run and type CMD
Type the command given below exactly:
WMIC /OUTPUT:C:\ProcessList.txt PROCESS get Caption,Commandline,Processid
(Works in XP Pro)

Now, open the file C:\ProcessList.txt. You can see the details of Rundll32.exe process in that file.
