Rundll32 is basically a program library that holds a lot of central Win95 functions.
What else do you have installed besides IE4? There may be a conflict between IE4 and something else.

There should be some things we don't name. Just so we can sit around all day and wonder what they are.

I sure hope someone on this list can help me with a problem:
I have a pentium 133 mhz computer, running Windows95--OSR2, 32 megs of
memory.
When MSIE 4.0 came out, I installed it on my computer. Then I installed
Real Audio,
Crescendo, and Microsoft's virtual reality program. A few days later
when
my computer
booted up into Windows, there was an error message saying that rundll32
was
corrupt.
Using all my inexpertise, I tried every way I could think of to fix the
problem. Nothing
worked, not even re-installing Windows. I couldn't get into windows
because when I tried to close the error message, the whole computer froze
up.
As a last resort, it seemed that the only thing to be done was format my
hard drive, and reinstall on the clean hard drive. The computer worked
UNTIL the supposedly finished version of Explorer 4.0 came out. Then I
did
it again (installed the finished ver 4.0)
Added the same stuff as the first time--RealAudio, Crescendo, etc. A few
days later
the same error stuff came up, and again I couldn't get into windows to
use
any
programs. Formatted and installed Windows again.
Sorry to be so lengthy, but if you've read this far you probably can tell
that I'm a
glutton for punishment.
MSIE became 4.01, and I jumped for it. Same results after 5-7 days
of no problems with my computer and the internet---ol' rundll32 appeared
again.
I can't even find any information at Microsoft that says WHAT rundll32
does.
Anyone have any suggestions, or information? (please don't suggest that
I
sell my
computer, and take up watching TV or something.)
Thanks
Jackie Boone
