After starting up, I get this error message box. The box header says RunDLL. Then the box contains the following message:

Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\System\SYSPLA~2.DLL
The specified module could not be found.

What is it? How do I fix it? My computer seems to be working okay, but the message is annoying, and it has me concerned.

NOTE: Carefully choose image paths that ends sysmenu.dll only, if you deleted paths that are not high lightened then it might cause some trouble booting your PC.
