I resolved the question on my own.

I recently started receiving the following error whenever I need to remove a USB device and I first go through the proper &quot;safely remove&quot; process prior to physically disconnecting the devices:<br />
<br />
Rundll32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.<br />
<br />
I had this problem once before years ago, but I just can't seem to find the solution to resolving it. &nbsp;I know that there is some sort of fix. &nbsp;I have have tried doing a search through this site and Google, but I never can seem to find a solution that is on point. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I am not concerned about removing the &quot;wrong&quot; USB device or a disk player. &nbsp; I am only talking about removing flash drives, WD &quot;Passport&quot; drives, or their equivalent.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

USB Removal Error

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
