Dave,
NvQTwk is the NVIDIA Taskbar Utilty Library module (That's the tiny multi-colored computer screen on your taskbar near your clock). Download the NX2K2960.EXE Nvidia driver for the 2650 here:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R44381&formatcnt=1&fileid=52255
Uninstall the old driver first. Then run the NX2K2960.EXE to install the new driver.
This should fix your problem. If not, you may have spyware/malware that has renamed the module.
Let us know if this fixes your problem.

Thanks tgsmith & JackShack....
I completed the download that you suggested tgsmith and restarted my computer and the error box has vanished.... It is forums like this that make owning a Dell laptop so nice. Dell should be happy to have people like you and JackShack on their sides.
Happy Holidays to both of you,
Dave

I don't recognize the specific missing file, but run.dll seems to be a program used to load files that run in the background at startup. The former owner probably used an anti adware/malware program to eliminate an adware process but it didn't remove the link used to load the process from run.dll. You can safely ignore it as the machine is simply complaining about a file that isn't there to get loaded. I don't know how to get rid of the message, unfortunately, other than by reinstalling the OS. This is a major step,however, and you may want to wait for a response from a more knowledgable user.
Good luck!
