Question Mysterious .dll file in Startup

Im running Windows 98 and when checking over my MSCONFIG I found a file that was slated for startup. The File is called IMAGE and the files path is rundll32 C:\WINDOWS\IMAGE.DLL,INSTALL. Is this a windows based .dll file or spyware etc.?

PS: Are there any sites giving all .dll files for windows??

Run it.
Check for update, if it needs to update please allow it to do so.

Click fix/next. Let it fix all if finds.
Reboot

Run it again (to be sure it worked)
Click fix/next. Let it fix all if finds.
