not shutting down/rebooting by itself

computer tends to go thru a bunch of error messages when trying to shut down and loops to the point that you have to hit the reset to get out of it. Usually when this happens if it lets you get to the ctrl-alt-del menu there is a Rundll32 and a URLmap running. what are these and how do we get rid of them to stop these errors.Any ideas?

It also will sometimes give you a blue screen with a windows error message( looks like a dos screen) and when you hit the space bar it reboots. or sometimes it just reboots by itself with no error messages.any ideas?

    I had the same problems with my other sys that had WinME on it. The only way that I could resolve it was to reinstall windows. It is a good idea to completly reformat your disk one a year anyhow so if you haven't done it for awhile, now would be a good time.

    this is ann's husband:

    We have reloaded windows atleast 5 times in the past three months, dell has repalced the majority of system parts in my computer. the computer is still doing the same things. i do not know what to do next. seems like XP might be the answer?
