RUNDLL Error Message at Boot It's no burger biggie, but it's an irritant. I'm running 2000 Pro on, would you believe, a Pentium 233. Before you fall down laughing I'll have to say it's not real speedy, but it is not as slow as one might think. 2M does a great job of kicking things up.
I'm getting an error message on boot: RUNDLL with an X - Error loading c:\winnt\downloaded program files\bridge.dll. This specific module could not be found.
I'm sure it is part of an applet I probably installed and then uninstalled, but I'm not sure how to locate the source of the problem and zap it. Can someone give me a clue?
Thanks, BuddyB

Try doing a search here on bridge.dll. This error has been pretty prevalent-- I'm sure you will find what you seek.
General consensus is that it's related to spyware. Try the suggestions listed in this thread for some help:

The bridge.dll problem is definitely spyware related.
I'm moving this to the Security forum, as that is where we deal with spyware, virus, etc. issues.
Read through many of the previous posts in Security to find the solution to the bridge.dll error and many other spyware-related problems.
