| In trying to get rid of some spyware, I found that one

| drive, including hidden and system files) and deleted
| suspicious ones.

| However, whenever I restart XP I continue to get an error
| message from a program called RunDLL saying "Failed to

| Does anyone know how to get rid of this error message?
| Thanks for any help.
