im assuming it says that as the comp boots up. what did you do before that happened? can you boot up at all? i search onthe internet for the files said to goto regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->microsoft->Windows->run and remove the rundll32.exe entry that points to bridge32.dll. but you probably dont want to mess up the registry intul you try other things and if you do, make sure you back it up first. but if yoiu cant boot up at all then i guess you probably couldnt do that anyway

I Ran Ad-aware, but it said that that couldnt be removed, would u like to run ad-aware on next boot up...I said Yes do that....Im scanning for viruses and im talkin with my friend who knows bout comps he says it shouldnt hurt anything, but its probably viral, which im betting it is cause i went to a website and my processor soared to 100% and it said "installing etc"....got all that s*** off tho...

oh so you can boot up. well then its probably not as big of a deal. do a search for the file, it may have just been corrupteed or something. depending on what the file actually is you can just copy it over from another comp.

I searched my SYSTEM32 folder as well as my entire windows folder in the C drive for bridge32.dll and nothing came up. I would assume its something that is not supposed to be there rather than something that is missing.

But don't quote me on that.

im guessing that it was part of some spyware that you removed and so when you boot up it looks forthe file but adaware removed it. if thats the case its nothing to worry about

Do you have Cine-Paint loaded? Or did you have it and uninstall it? That is the only reference I can find to a bridge32.ddl. Used for 32 bit plugin management in Cime-Paint.
