rundll32 error

Question

Whenever I start my computer I get the message 'This program has performed an illegal action and will be shut down.' Details - RUNDLL32 caused an invalid page fault in module RUNDLL32.EXE at 0167:01001154. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=0167 EIP=01001154 EFLGS=00010202 EBX=00000002 SS=016f ESP=0056fb68 EBP=0056fd98 ECX=00000001 DS=016f ESI=0050000c FS=11d7 EDX=0100116a ES=016f EDI=00000000 GS=11c6 Bytes at CS:EIP: 66 8b 08 66 85 c9 74 10 66 3b 4c 24 08 74 0b 50 Stack dump: 010012d2 00500024 00000020 00000000 00000000 bff748b4 dc0a1eb0 0056fba8 bff7a10e bff7a567 8190c000 00000040 00000074 bff741f7 819ac1c0 0056fbd0 I get the same message when trying to shut down. When I close themessage, I am back to the active screen. The only way I can shut dowon is the turn the computer off. I also get the message when trying to add/remove a program. This has been going on for about a month. I have also been getting some wierd short lockups of my mouse. I tried the fix listed on the Dell knowledge base, and it did not work. I scanned with McAfee virus scan (updated) aaaaand no virus was found. I have a Dell Dimension XPS T600 Pentium III with 256MB SDRAM Memory with ECC and 27 MB hard drive, Windows 98. Thanks if anyone can help.
