at startup, I get a RUNDLL window with the following message:
Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\system 32\huqeloqw.dll
the specified module cannot be found

I have seen many problems listed that are similar, but not exactly like this message. I don't want to engage in a link that is not pertinent to this situation, but have not seen this particular thing show up anywhere. Can someone suggest a solution (and maybe the cause) of this?

I would suggest trying a fix with the windows cd, or, if you have another another pc with the same OS installed trying plugging in the hdd with the bad file and copying the dll from the working os to the bad one.

It is the trace of either a careless vundo infection, or a partial cure of the problem. This will start the sorting out:
==Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
from: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html
or: http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe
=Dclick that file, mbam-setup.exe, to install the application, then ensure that it is set to update and start, else start it via the icon.
Select "Perform Full Scan", then click Scan; the application will guide you through the remaining steps.
Make sure that everything found is checked, and click Remove Selected. Examine the log: if some files are listed as Delete on Reboot then restart your machine before continuing.
Post the Notepad log [it is also saved under Logs tab in MBAM].
And finally:
==download hijackthis: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download5554.html
-copy it to a new FOLDER placed either alongside your program files or on your desktop and then... rename hijackthis.exe to imabunny.exe
-in that folder start HijackThis by dclicking the .exe; now close ALL other applications and any open windows including the explorer window containing HijackThis.
-click the Scan and Save a Logfile button. Post the log here.

gerbil:
thank you for your help; I have done as you suggested, and hope I am successful in posting the logs. It looks as if attachments will work. I am guessing that you desire to look these over to decide what should be done. I have no idea, and appreciate the expertise that you seem to have about this. Thanks again!

for some reason, the hijack this log won't attach here. I will attempt to do it in another message.

New message, with the other attachment, hopefully!
