Googling for "IM32FAX.DLL" [not *.DIL as you wrote] indicates that this file
is part of Lexmark printer software. I would guess from the "FAX" part that
it's for the fax component of an all-in-one printer
(fax/copy/scanner/printer). If you have uninstalled your Lexmark (or Dell)
printer, you can fix your startup as below. If you have kept your printer,
reinstall its software.

Start Orb>Start Search box>msconfig [enter]

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation,
type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab.
You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get
a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be
blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then
tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes.
Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter] and do not stop any services
unless you really, really know what you're doing.

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -
