Well it seems like you are having missing entry of startup file. May be previous virus or just misconfigured something.. There is a simple common solution is you install software which will remove invalid startup entry. else you can try manually if you are having average knowledge of computer. 1. First way Go to Run type "msconfig" under startup tab uncheck the box which is having \run.dll command under command column. 2. second way Go to Run type "regedit" Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Remove entry of run.dll from that startup Good Luck..

When did this error appear?If it's presently, try the following way: "START MENU--HELP AND SUPPORT---Undo changes to your computer with System Restore---Restore my computer to earlier time----Select a point." If there's no result,whisper me and I'll recommend you a forum where you can explain your problem.

rundll.exe and rundll32.exe are legitimate system files which are used to access .dll files (Dynamic Link Libraries). They are both necessary parts of your system and should not be deleted if they exist in the Windows/System folder. If you find instances of either of these files in non-system areas (other folders besides Windows/System, Windows/System32 or the folders associated with restore points and updates) then they MAY be an indication of a virus (some trojans use these file names but the spurious files will not be in the System folders - they may, for example, be in Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data or other places). The most likely problem is that your registry has an entry in its startup area that tries to load a .dll file which is either corrupted or has been deleted. Since rundll.exe can't find the file, you are getting an error message. Closing the error message simply allows the PC to continue loading what it can find and the system works normally. To eliminate the error, you will need to edit or clean your registry in order to delete the entry that refers to the non-existent .dll. There are tools which can do this safely and automatically. Here is a page which describes what you need to do: http://www.delete-computer-history.com/rundll-error.html

It's an invalid link to a deleted software or to a malware. If you can't restore a valid point without this error, you'll have to clean your registry database. Look what softwares you have at startup (enter 'msconfig' in the search box) : some virus have random names and are difficult to eradicate. Scan your computer with an antispyware/antivirus. I hope this help you.

what is the name of the dll? You can try a tool like hijackthis. just run it, do a scan and fix the instances mentioning that file.
