At boot Dell Studio 540 running Vista, I get a warning that "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working.

After each start up my Dell Studio 540 with Vista, I get a warning that "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working.  Although this 'fault' seems to have no obvious effect on the following operations, it is very annoying to have to clear the window. I applied the suggested solutions elsewhere, but without success either.  Can someone please help me - in simplistic terms that I am a silver surfer?  Thank you very much.

* original title - yet another problem Rundll32 *.

Thanks a lot for the guide. Finally, I've identified the problem via the boot as in the NVIDIA driver.  I've now updated that and everything seems to work fine - touch wood!

  • SE error windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working on Windows Vista

    Original title: (Rundll32)

    Need help fixing this problem microsoft windows popup message, process host windows (Rundll32) has stopped working.

    Hello

     
    1. When you get this error message?
    2. were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

    Step 1: safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.
     http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts

    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems

    I have a home network with computers XP and Vista.   Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600.  Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.

    On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly.  Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.

    Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite).  Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.

    Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions.  No change.

    System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4.  Restoration is back with "unexpected error".  The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run.  Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.

    Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine.  He said "no violation of integrity.

    Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working.  Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.

    What the hell is happening?

    EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work.  Videos can be imported into and read correctly.

    I had things market... Finally.

    I have none of the above.  I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).

    So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...

    I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs.  I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration.  Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them.  Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.

    Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows host process (Rundll32) problem.

    Hello. I use Winpatrol to monitor changes etc for my operating system and Applications. Recently, I saw a notification asking me to accept a change to the process described above.

    He asked if I would accept a change to:

    Rundll32.exe ieframe.dll, OpenURL %

    to C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll,OpenURL % C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe

    I recently re-formatted the hard drive on the PC displays the message and I think that this has something to with the upgrade from IE7 to IE8.

    If this is the case and is safe to accept the change, then this is good. However, I would like to be sure that it is not a piece of Malware, be smart and try to emulate the Windows genuine process.

    Thank you very much

  • Laptop Dell Studio 1555 w / Vista does not wake from sleep when the lid is open.

    I have a laptop Dell Studio 1555 with Vista Premium 64-bit. Until last night, the laptop would run mode standby when I closed the lid and woke up when I opened the cover later. Yesterday I was downloading photos from a Canon camera via USB. I close the lid when I did. When I went to open the cover later the laptop screen remained in black and white. The power button is lit, but the only way I can get to meet is to hold the power button until it turns off completely, and then restart the laptop. A difference when the lid is closed, I think the power button will blink and turn off slowly while he was really in sleep. He remains on all the time now when the lid is closed. I tried to go into power management and put the laptop from sliding when the lid is closed, but has not made a difference.

    Run the system restore and choose a restore point created just before the problem occurred. Steve Winograd, MS - MVP (Windows desktop experience)
