Windows host process (Rundll32)
I get an Internet Explorer error security happen when I open explore. A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer. «Windows host process (Rundll32).» The Publisher is Microsoft Windows. can someone let me know what this means and why I can't get rid of this message. It does not check the box "do not show again" and he let me just click on allow or not allow.
Hello
AFAIK Rundll32.exe is a program created by Microsoft required to run dynamic link library (DLL) files. But also spyware allows to run under the same name anti-virus programs.
I recommend the system scan using Antivirus software. If anything would be detected then you can check the box "do not show again -
Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working
Is a general Vista problem and also a general problem of Thinkpad, but it has what I feel to be a frequency among the W500s so I thought to post it here.
In recent weeks, I got this error (Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working) several times. A lot of googleing will tell you that it can be caused by a number of things, for example other video programs, Nero burning software, video codecs and burning software and the ATI catalyst control center.
For me, uninstalling the ATI catalyst control center and the rest of the correction of the error of video card drivers. Resettlement has reduced. Uninstall them and then only by reinstalling the driver first, then check catalytic Center later after another reboot all reinstalled successfully and also got rid of the error.
However, two days ago I updated my lenovo Power Manager and after the next restart, I started getting this error again. I tried the trick with video drivers, but this time I was not so lucky. Uninstall them completely is not even get rid of the error. I think only it is the new power manager I uninstalled everything and somehow got rid of the error.
I'm about to reinstall the power manager and I hope he's not bring error.
Another thing, I found that can cause this error:
I'd just do a fresh install of vista and lenovo apps + Manager supply and everything worked. Since I never use the optical drive, I went to the Device Manager and disabled, which gave me the error Rundll32.exe about 60 seconds later, and this caused again Manager power to stop working, even after that it recharges.
I finally understand that disabling my optical drive Springs somehow this error on me which then also stops Power Manager. The optical drive from the reactivation got rid of the error immediately.

Windows host process Rundll32 has stopped working ONLY at startup on the desktop.
When I start my Dell Inspiron 531 after that sign in the screen will Dim twice for a few seconds then the Windows host process Rundll32 has stopped working window appears. If you close another small window exactly the same error message mentioned above tells you that Windows will look for a solution but NEVER done. I use AOL version 9.0, I can sign and the big surf for dial-up access. I tried to download free Kaspersky on their site and an error message said it was incomplete or corrupted. I have Windows Security Essentials, Stopzilla, CCleaner, Glary Utilities, you run sfc/scannow, it cleaned up a few files and he tells me that he has no integrity problem after 4 scans. The big short PC but what the _ is causing this Rundll32 error and why is there NO information specific on how to solve this problem? Also Internet Explorer cascades tiles and diverts the PC sometimes force a quick stop, it's really weird to see, very rare but happens. Systerac Fix of Windows crashes after starting an analysis on current user files, really strange, as if something is trying to stop him on purpose. I wish that Microsoft would really worry about the Rundll32 error of work ceased and tell us customers how to fix this shit it is very boring I'll tell you. I want that my host process Rundll32 to work as it did for the past 2 years with no error message at startup. He never gives me these messages while I use the Internet. There are many pages of misinformation out there, can some Microsoft Engineer please give me that a definitive answer in particular to the Windows host process Rundll32 has ceased to function the error at startup ONLY and tell me how to fix Rundll32 file or the process, it would be greatly appreciated? Thank you. Woman

widows host process (rundll32)
A program called "windows host process (rundll32) supposedly published by Microsoft is popping up with an Internet Explorer message, asking me to activate or disable the program. Is this a virus? It has not been detected by my anti-virus software.
You have not provided enough information to answer the question correctly.
"Windows host process" (rundll32.exe) is a legitimate Windows process (although it is always possible that malware uses the same name). It is used to run processes ('host') appearing in 'dynamic link libraries' (*.dll files). Given that practically anything can be contained in a dll file, it is impossible to know if your dll is malicious or not without the help of tools such as Process Explorer.
If you have a decent antivirus application that you have updated and kept Windows up-to-date by regularly installing critical updates, chances are it's OK.
You might want to elaborate on the circumstances, when this "message" in addition to any text that may accompany the message, without paraphrasing.

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.
