    I keep getting this "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working" message. It comes up anytime, while starting a program, copying files, waking up from sleep. How to solve this thing?

    Just an example.... http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1617164&SiteID=17

    The rundll32 error or message can be due to many applications.. and first I think you would have to figure out which application or task is causing this.. and I don't know how you would do that, but probably taking a look in the system event log?? I mean as soon as you get that message???
