[RESOLVED] Multiple rundll32's

I am having to access terminal mode to get my modem to work. (My electricity went off while I was connected to the internet but prior to that my modem was working) Now,I have to type ATH1 and then my number will dial and I can connect.
My problem is I have to delete my connection in DUN, every so often, because although it will dial, it says the computer I am dialing is not answering. If I create a new connection, I can connect. I noticed in the option where it shows systems that are running, (close program menu??) that I have multiple rundll32's running. Could this be messing with my DUN?
I just reformatted my C drive partition and reloaded Windows again, to try and correct this problem. Could a modem cause it to act like this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated because I'm stumped. Thanks!

If your power went off chances are there was an associated power surge. This could have easily fried your modem if there was a spike down the phone line. Do you use a power/phone filter?

"It wasn't me... honest"

it might be a virus.

rundll shouldn't be running all the time.

I would suggest running a Scan on you system (after updating the anti-virus) also a goo idea is to try and use a different driver for you modem.

if it's a hardware modem (not PCI or AMR/CNR) try using windows built in "standard modem" driver

if it's a winmodem or PCI modem try obtaining the latest driver for it.

I scanned for viruses and found nothing.
I went to Microsoft support and have tried various things. My modem works fine with Hyperterminal for one thing.
The only thing I can find wrong with the drivers, is under System information under modem components, it says the filexfer.cnt and filexfer.hlp files are not installed.
I have the latest Win 95 drivers from Boca. First, I let Windows install it, and then I loaded the modem drivers because it wasn't working. Like I said, all of this was working fine before the power went off.

Any more ideas?

I would not recommend Installing Win95 *.inf file.

try to use windows "standard" modem driver.
