What is Rundll? I used to see it all of the time down there running when I hit ctl-alt-del. I'm using a newer version of W98 now and it has not showed up until today. I was surfing, listning to Mp3's on Windows Media player v. 7.1 and downloading Mp3's off of usenet all at the same time. Never has been a problem in the past. Well, today the sound kept skiping on and off. I looked to see what was running and saw rundll. I shut down that little task and things smoothed right out. Questions......1, Why did it ALWAYS run when I was running W98 upgrade?....2, why after two weeks of running W98 SE OEM did it start running TODAY? 3, Everything seems to run well without Rundll running, WHY?

The desciption straight from the file:
Run a DLL as an App

I wouldn't go end tasking it, or deleting it, Windows needs the file.

If you have the little "monitor" icon in the systray to change resolution, rundll is the prog that loads this 'icon' and others like it.

AFAIK, rundll is also used in the opening of the Control Panel Appletts.
