I know what you're thinking when you read the title-- "Just download the microsoft shutdown patch."-- but, this is a little different.

Here's the problem. When I sometimes go to shutdown my comp, it hangs. When I hit crtl-alt-del, it shows "RUN32.dll" in the little window. (Nothing else) When I hit the "End Task" button, the system stops responding altogether. No cursor, keyboard, and not even a blue screen of death.

I figured that "RUN32.dll" might be bad or something, so I did "System File Checker". I didn't see it pop up. I then ran "Find" (RUN32.dll) in my start menu... and apperantly I don't have it anywhere in my comp.

Um... do I need this file? If so, what is it used for? Any help would be appreciated since a google search did not help. I will try a Microsoft search after I post this.

Thanx!
