Once the scan with the System File Checker, follow these steps:

  1. Click Startand type cmd in the box start the search .
  2. In the results, right-click on cmd.exearea, and then click run as administrator. You will be asked to type the password for an administrator account. If you are the administrator or type the administrator password, click continue . Then, click continue.
  3. At the command prompt, type Sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

  • Windows 7 error: "5487992.exe has stopped working".

    I have a Windows 7 machine and I started getting the following message: "5487992.exe has stopped working". The computer will function normally after you close the error for about 5 minutes, how the machine gets to the login screen. If I log in as usual I receive the same error message and return to the display of connection in 5 minutes again.

    Thank you

    Hi Mike,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
    2. It happens when you navigate to a specific application? If so, name the application you initiate.

    The causes of .exe error messages can vary considerably. However, most of the .exe errors result from a corrupted or damaged file ntdll.dll version itself, corrupt hardware drivers, or issues between Windows and other programs.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    If the problem exists, try the next method.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to perform a file system (CFS) Checker scan to check the alteration of system files.

    1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
    2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
    3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    For more information, refer to this link:

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • 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

  • Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working and the Manager device raises the error code 43

    Hi Richstan06,

    Step 1: Run the fixit available in the link below and check if that makes a difference

    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/hardware_device_problems/en-us?EntryPoint=lightbox

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.
