Windows Shell common Dll does not respond and the Windows Rundll32 host process has stopped working

I got two errors above and try to solve them without my success. My computer is slow, and several programs say "not responding" for a while until what they caught finally upward.  It seems that I have a driver problem. Any advice?

Hello riondet,.

Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

How long did you receive these error messages?   Did you change your operating system before thses errors?  All new software/hardware installed or new Windows updates?

It seems that a dll is missing. You can fix it easily if you have a vista bootable disk.  Just boot from the disk and click on repair your computer and then click on start option repair and it will do the rest.

or, if the problem is not resolved, then insert the vista dvd and then open the command prompt as administrator, and then run the following command...

C:\sfc scannow

and then press ENTER.

Please let us know status.  Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

  • Satellite U300-13U does not start and the recovery disc fails to too much work

    Hi all

    I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it is nothing that a good pain since the first day we got it.
    I have had it about 2 years & had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the product recovery disc as laptop starts.
    The laptop runs Vista.

    In any case, problem I have now is that new laptop does not start, but for some reason any product recovery disc also does not work...
    What I can do...

    I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how / what S/W can I use...?
    The laptop has a SATA HD 160 GB installed. How can I check that it all works.
    I don't know if the current problem is S/W or related material...

    Toshiba has a utility that I can use...?

    Thanks a lot for all the help...

    Hello

    What happened exactly?
    Do you receive error messages by using the recovery disk?

    Check if the HARD drive is OK! You can check in the BIOS.
    If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then the HARD drive and HARD drive found BIOS is not dead.

    Usually, you might start Notepad with the help of a Live disc for example Bart PE
    It s a bootable windows CD/DVD live

    http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

    This can allows you to format the HARD disk, and then use the recovery disc!

    Hi Andy,.

    I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible.  Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7?  I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently.  If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem.  Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.

  • surcurity essentials does not start, and the windows firewall does not illuminate

    Hello

    I have a problem, he seems to have had a virus on my pc. Essentials of security does not illuminate and the windows firewall will not also turn on, I tried to use the tool to "fix" windows and it doesn't solve the problem.

    the original virus seemed to rename its self as a program existing and renamed the oringinal by a space in the name, for example "adobearm.exe" became "adobearm .exe" there is a space before the dot.

    The virus called his free adobearm.exe icon because it is a yellow / orange with a letter H, at the Center

    different file name her seemed to be part of the virus included "ag7yl5x8.exe".

    If you tried to close them in the task manager that they just either came back or a different file name would appear in the list.

    I also couldn't do a windows update, but I think as the tool to 'fix' as cured this problem.

    Can someone help me please.
