  • 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.

  • HIDData.exe has stopped working in Windows Vista SP2

    I am running Windows Vista w/SP2 on a Compaq CQ70 w/an Intel T3200 2.0 ghz processor. I recently installed a USB Bluetooth device. I get the error "HIDData.exe stopped working" reported before with a USB Bluetooth mouse. Every avenue, I used to try to find a solution show KB941600 cumulative update installation. However, when I started to install the update, I learned that it is applied to a different operating system than the one on my computer. I guess that's because it applies to Windows Vista without SP2 installed. Is there a way to solve this problem for the updated Vista version?

  • I forgot the administrator password on my netbook windows 7 son´s

    I forgot the administrator password on my netbook windows 7 son´s. I can connect as long as him, but parental control is set so that it can not download anything without my password. I tried using Ophcrack, but it does not support windows 7. Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Thank you
    Emma

    Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

    • Restart the computer with your CD to repair Windows, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if the problem occurred recently).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    Note also that you can lead to permanent damage to your registry files when you use crackers from third past.

    If you do not have a CD player, then you must burn a repair flash bootable disc. Here's how to make one:

  • My DVD/CD drive has suddenly stopped working under Windows 7

    Ive been using Windows 7 for about 6 months now with on any trouble until recently my DVD drive has suddenly stopped working. Windows detects the drive but when I double click on it in my computer it says please insert disc. I find the drive in Device Manager and windows recognises that there is an error that says:

    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

    I tried to uninstall the drivers in Manager device and rebooted the computer to let auto windows find the driver and reinstall it but to start, I get a message that says:

    Device not installed driver software

    I know that the drive is fine because it works fine in Ubuntu Linux system he worked great in windows 7, so stopped. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Go to the Web site of the factory, download the driver appropriate for your device. Uninstall the driver that is currently installed and uninstall the device in Device Manager. Reboot... After you restart, you have 1 of 2 options depending on how the software is packed from the manufacturing. (A) put an end to the automatic Windows installation feature and use the downloaded software to take care of it for you... If that's how it is set up to operate or (b) wait for windows to auto-trouvez and try to install the device, and when he asked the pilots to open and extract files downloaded to any location you choose and point the installer of windows in this direction.
