windows\image.dll

Whenever I start up the computer I get a message that says that windows could
not find C:\windows\image.dll I press cancel and the bnox goes away but it's
bugging me. How do I get rid of it. It shows up in a window titled rundll
Does this have to do with the HP software for my printer/scanner?

Thanks

It could be associated with a variant of coolweb search - a parasite.
Do a thorough scan for malware.

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.
