Like tons of other people, I've been getting lots of those "Host services have stopped working. You will be notified if a solution is found" messages. You are forced to close the box....no other option is available. The result of this is that my internet connection slows to a crawl. I post the actual error log in the forum of the program that crashed. Apparently the problem is with "Windows Management Instrumentation"....and I have no idea where a forum for that resides. So I'm hoping a solution can be found here. Here is the log that gets generated.
2 weeks ago I've installed fresh new copy of Vista x64 ultimate sp1 and downloaded all critical updates. From time to time I got BSODs randomly + windows continues to spam me with message error message "Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed" - in event log it appeares as
"Faulting application svchost.exe_iphlpsvc, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919291, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x4791adec, exception code 0xc0000374, fault offset 0x00000000000a6e97, process id 0xde8, application start time 0x01c965d5d7c709ab."
After getting this message my window appearance changes for aero to half-aero-half-classic style and language icon diappeares from taskbar (and hotkey alt+shift stoppes wirking too - can't swich from default language ). I've tried to chnage language bar settings from Control Panel (Floating/Docked/Hidden) does nothing. Only restart brings things to normal, but after unpredictable period of time it happens again.
I get this message almost every time I go online. I've searched the web with no definate results. Windows says it's because I need an updated HP printer driver. Not so. I don't have a printer installed. Iit's a real pain in the a**. I'm running a HP Pavillion DV 6871 laptop with 3gb and Vista SP1.
The Deal is everytime i got to screensaver, just to try to open the screensaver menu, this pops up. "Window host process (Rundll32) has stopped working." And somehow i think the default screensaver is set because after i leave the computer alone for a while it goes blank...
I Right click on the Desktop>select Personalize from the menu>select Mouse Pointers from the Control PanelPersonalization page that opens.....and this is the result; Since I haven't a clue what all this refers to, I select and click on the No Button, and I'm advised that the Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working....here; Is this a serious issue? This is the detailed report that appears in the Problem Reports and Solutions Folder; I'm completely lost with all this mumbo-jumbo, and need some real advice to extract myself from this 'Mouse trap'
I bought a new HP laptop last Wednesday. My girlfriend has used it to write a paper for school and that is about it. Its been connected to the internet maybe 4 times. I turned it on at work and noticed it looks like the old Windows, before XP and my trash can is gone. When I go and try to change the Appearance settings it says "Windows host process(Rund1132) has stopped working..." Anyone know what the problem could be? I restored the PC to the first time I started it and it did not change a thing.
When I attempt to start stopped services, ThinkVantage task scheduler, in the Task Manager on a Thinkpad R61i with Vista, an error message says "Access Denied". If I try to start the services from Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, the PC hangs.
I turned on my laptop, and there was no wireless internet. Turns out a lot of important services have stopped and I cant turn them on.
They include:
DHCP Client Diagnostic Policy Service IPsec Policy Agent Network List Service Network Location Awareness Office Source Engine Windows Firewall Windows Time
I managed a workaround by defining an IP manually to my wireless card, and at least it connected to the internet, but DHCP is still stopped. So is the Diagnostic service, so the "repair button" wont work either.
When I go to services and try to start them, I get the error, "Access is denied", or "The dependency service or group failed to start".
My Network sharing centre is saying the same thing. Firewall is also disabled, error is "Security centre cant turn on windows firewall"...
Lately when I've tried looking at different folders and files on my hard drives I keep getting "Windows Explorer has stopped working and will restart." It's driving me nuts, I can barely do anything. Also, same thing with Internet Explorer...I'm getting real sick of Vista's shoddiness..
By now it should be obvious that, under the Vista operating system, I have Home Premium, there is a severe overall, general "has stopped working" problem.
Thus far I've experienced: "Internet Explorer has stopped working" "Windows Explorer has stopped working" "Word has stopped working" "Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (Adventure Company) has stopped working" "Outlook has stopped working" "Acid 4.0 (Sony) has stopped working" "Acid 6.0 (Sony) has stopped working" "Sound Forge (Sony) has stopped working"
Is it not obvious by now that Vista has a problem, maybe a compatability problem, with everything from Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word to third party programs which cause programs, as I mentioned, even programs made by Microsoft, to "stop working"? Is there no an overall "stopped working" patch or something that Microsoft has released by now?...............
All of a sudden some of my programs stopped working, for example catalyst control center is supposed to start as soon as vista starts, but now it gives me an error like:
"CCC.exe has stopped working"
Same with some others...
Yes i ran AVG, i ran malware, and superantispyware, none of them finds anything.
I cant even load daemon tools now, it gives me some error: "Engine loading was failed", cant uninstall it, it gives me another error, and some of the programs like netlimiter if i start them from my objectdock dock they automaticly stop working, only when i start them from the normal .exe they dont crash.
My laptop froze during a shutdown process and I was forced to turn it off by holding the power button down. Since then my USB hub seems to have stopped working; anything plugged into it doesn't even turn up on the computer even though all the lights on them are on (indicating they are receiving power at the very least). How can I fix this?
I have Windows Visa, Home Basic, and sometimes when I go to a web page = Drudgereport, etc) and click on a link there I receive the message... = "IE has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop = working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is = available. and a 'close program' box is there. =20 When I click' close program,, the process continues.
Running Vista Home Premium, WD, WF and Avast (email scanning disabled). As of 3 days ago, when I close WM I receive the "WM can compact...". When I click Ok, I get "WM has stopped working would you like to restart it". I click "yes" and then I get "DEP has closed WM". No problem sending or receiving mail.
I am running vistas sp1 I am unable to open IE unless I right click and run as admin. hyperlinks don't work either. shouldn't have to do this. if I turn off UAC it works though, but do not want to. help please since I can not unistall and reinstall.
I keep getting a window telling me that internet explorer has stopped working and then closes all my programs and I have to start over. This used to happen only every once in a while but now it happens everytime I try to close a program. I then have to start all over with the programs I had running.
i have tried to get this game to work for a long time now, i'm totally desperat. i can see the movie in the beginning but right before the meny it shuts down and it says Jk.exe has stopped working i have tried to run it in compatibility mode but it doesnt work either, i have asked around and the answer i get is "it's becouse of vista" and i just wonder if there is anything i can do before i go and buy myself an old computer with windows 95.
getting this problem when tryin to start tf2 or hl2, anyone else getting this problem? i tried doin the stuff steam says, but so far hasnt worked. tf2 won't even start, whereas hl2 will get to the beginning loading screen before you get to the main window then freeze.
I am currently running Vista Home Premium x64. After a few weeks of using Vista and WMP 11, I learned through these forums that there is a 64-bit version of WMP 11, so I tried it by running the "wmplayer.exe" file in the Program Files directory (not Program Files x86). After a few seconds, I got the dreaded "Windows Media Player has stopped working" error message, along with a prompt to close the program - no additional useful information was provided. After uninstalling any and all codecs, using the SFC utility, using a registry cleaner, and any other suggestion I could find, WMP x64 still would not work for me.
So, I performed a clean install of VISTA HPx64. And, lo and behold, the first time I double-clicked wmplayer.exe in the Program Files directory, it worked! I tried it a few more times and it was still working, so I quickly downloaded the 64-bit Vista Codec package, and used the utilities in the package for switching the default player and registry entries to 64-bit. When I tried to run WMP, I once again got the "Windows Media Player has stopped working" message. I uninstalled the Vista Codecs package, restarted the computer, and still it would not work. I reran the SFC utility, and no corrupt files were found. Curiously, the first time I ran the 32-bit WMP, I was shown a dialog box for choosing options and doing initial set-up; when I ran the 64-bit WMP for the first time, I was given no such set-up opportunity.......
I have the following issue and hope that somebody can give me a hint about what might be going on! My system has two raid 1 arrays - one is running on XP Professional SP3 the other one is running on Vista x64 Ultimate SP1. When I start my virtual machines (either from the Virtual PC console or when double-clicking the *.vmc files) than everything is working fine on XP and the virtual machines are booting and running as expected. However, on Vista the following is happening (and I hope somebody has an idea):
1. Starting the Virtual machines from the console leads to an immediate reboot of my host machine (I can't even see any boot screen of the virtual machine - it is like clicking start in the VPC console -- > reboot of host).

i have used Gimp for a long time. I got a new hp vista home premium 64.
i installed it in the new comp. it worked fine for 2 weeks. Then I got the message like :" Gimp has stopped working. Windows will let you know if a solution is found." I uninstalled and installed 3 more times. Same message. I saw on forums on Microsoft to go to reg. and delete gimp stuff. i deleted only what said gimp but only after the 2 uninstall, as this scared me.
Anyway,Same problem. Please help me. I have written to Gimp, Microsoft, Gimptalk, HP. No answer from anyone. I do my work on Gimp. I lost all of my personal Gimp brushes and patterns. (my fault, didn't back up on new laptop yet)...
Vista Ultimate SP1. Since installing SP1 a week ago I can no longer use the WMP player of many internet radio stations. The different players open OK, play the regulatory sponsor introductory message but as soon as they get into connecting and streaming they shut down with a message that IE7 has stopped working. By itself WMP plays OK all VDO and Audio files on my PC. I was checking your answer to another WMP11 problem (see below) but hesitated to type the two lines in "run" since it says that Vista requires a higher level (?). I looked at the web site given by the link but don't quite understand what is meant by a "higher level".
Can I type these two lines in my Vista "run" (and hope it fixes the problem) or not? Or do you have another possible solution for my problem? I posted my problem on the media player support group but no answer so far.
Today suddenly my mouse stopped working properly. The mouse cursor stops moving then I hear the sound that hardware is removed from the system and immediately after the sound that hardware is added and then the mouse works again for a little while. This happens all the time. Mouse stops..hardware removed..hardware added..mouse works.
