Windows Mail (winmail.exe) Does Not Terminate Process When Exit
Mar 31, 2008
I'm cross-posting because these 2 problems appeared at the same time (after installing a lot of Windows XP application software) and may be related. I am thinking of laboriously going back through a lot of restore points, but would prefer some insight as to exactly what happened. Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell D830 with McAfee virus and e-mail protection. For the first week or so, neither problem was present.
(1) Windows Mail (winmail.exe) does not terminate its process when I exit. Thus I can't launch it again unless I either log out and log in again, or manually kill the process. Temporarily turning off McAfee e-mail scanning does not affect this.
(2) Whenever I delete anything from the desktop (whether my own desktop or the All Users desktop), Explorer hangs with a message like "Recycling 1 item...". I hit Cancel and the message box becomes unresponsive. I can still delete items from the desktop using Command Prompt and perhaps also in other ways.
Almost every time I turn on my laptop and log into my account a screen comes up saying something along the lines of Thank You For Validating Windows. This takes up the whole screen and I cannot exit unless I press OK. After my desktop is fully loaded a message comes up saying that Windows Aero has stopped working, you may be a victim of counterfeiting. There is then a link which takes me to Genuine Microsoft Software. I then run the validation test and pass. Also sometimes there is a message in white writing in the corner of my desktop which says:
Windows Vista (TM)
Build 6001
This copy of Windows is not genuine. My Vista Ultimate is 100% genuine.
After giving up for a while I am once again attempting to open WinMail e-mail attachments. What I did today was uninstall IE8 (thanks for the procedure). Once this completed, the machine rebooted to save changes. I then opend IE and clicked "help" to check the verion (7). So far so good. Then I went back to WinMail and tried opening an attachment. Still unable to open a .jpeg, ..doc, .pdf, etc. Right click, "save to" funtion doesn't work either.
Have quite a few mail rules to direct incoming mail to subfolders. Each rule ends with "Stop processing more rules". Rules work consistently, EXCEPT when first starting Win Mail. What often (though not always) happens upon start is that some messages are not being processed by the rules and are left in the Inbox. These messages have the same rule-related characteristics as messages successfully processed by the rule that were processed earlier when WinMail was already running at the time message was received.
I've verified that the rule is correct by then using the "Apply Now" feature for the rule that should handle such messages. The messages then get directed to the correct subfolder. This does NOT occur with just one rule, but seems to happen randomly, depending upon which messages are being received when WinMail starts up. It's almost as if WinMail begins to download messages before the rules have been loaded. Don't know if there is such a sequence in WinMail.
I am using Vista Windows Mail through Bigpond and I keep getting a message window stating "The server I am connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified. The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value. Do I want to continue using this server?"
I just configured Vista's Windows mail to hook up with my gmail account via IMAP. I have my emails stored in a folder structure (gmail calls them "labels"), which was recreated and all the emails downloaded. So far, so good. But then WinMail downloaded all 1700 emails again in the All Mail folder. I bought a small SDD drive for my new machine and do not want all the emails stored locally twice. How do I configure WinMail to synchronize my folders, but not the All Mail folder, and then I can delete the All Mail folder? Or are there any other options I can use?
WinMail was working fine after logging off last night. Starting today e-mail does not arrive in my Inbox, cannot send mail either. When I click the Send/Receive button, a Windows Security pop-up appears and requires me to logon to my account. This has never happend before. Any info I put into the username and password do not log me on to my own mail. What gives? I have owned this machine for just over one year.
The svchost seems to be spiking my physical memory at startup to around 80%.. and it only drops to around 75% And i also know that my computer cannot run to about 93-98% on memory because i suspect Faulty ram from previous problems of mine.( I will be replacing it with 4gb in 1to 2 weeks) Also after disabling Pc tools threatfire & Pc tools firewall i seem to be getting alot of processes which are also playing with my phiscal memory %. b4 i uninstalled The pc tools programs there was only 2-3 svchosts.exe now there are about 13 of them..

I've had windows vista on my laptop for over a year (it came with it) and it's pretty slick and clean looking but why isn't it compatible with a lot of software! like for instance, the window's chess game...worked twice then never worked again...always gives the "executable for chess game has stopped working". I gave up on that. another one, iTunes...has numerous problems in running. Now, I've just recently gotten the sims 2 deluxe and it was running okay but now I've gotten an expansion pack for it and the game works okay once after installation then will no open again and gives me an error.
"The application has crashed and will now terminate" I've tried absolutely everything (and making sure my games and applications meet the system requirements, and they do, running it in compatibility mode, updating my sims games which open for business update will not update after installing it once. It works if i install it immediately after I install OFB..but even then so, it crashes after one time playing the game!).......
I launch IE8 the error msgs appear. "The instruction at 0x00968a08 referenced memory at 0x0000000. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program" "Exeption EAccessviolation in module shellEh440.dll at 00008A08. Access violation at address 00968A08 in module ' ShellEh440.dll'. Write of address 0000000."
This is not a joke! I started to hear sporadically some music and voice on my PC, like if I was listening to a radio station; I have no such application on my system. When this is happening, only ordinary applications (like Outlook or Word) are running. Stopping all the applications does not make any difference. When it happens, I have noticed that a process called 17134.exe is running and is consuming quite a lot of memory space. At start-up of my system, the original memory space used by that process is around 2000K but when I start hearing the sounds, the amount of memory used is around 58000K and varying; it uses between 10 to 30% of CPU. If I stop the process, the situation goes back to normal, no more sounds. The description of the process is ???Unload PerfMon Counters???. I looked for a file named 17134.exe on my disk but there is no such file. When I start my system, I have a window with an error message: 17134.exe application error, click OK to terminate the program. The process is recreated automatically. I make sure that my anti-virus is always up-to-date and I ran a full scan on my system. Nothing unusual was detected. I would like to know if that process is legitimate, and why it behaves like that.
I have a problem opening email attachments. I have tried different attachments with no avail. It used to work and something has now stopped it. I even have problems saving the attachments. I can start the save process, but Window Mail locks up. But strange enough the file is saved to the correct location. If I try to save multiple attachments, only the first file is saved, than its locked up again. On a side note, during one of these crashes a email was corupted, I can no longer read it. I can also not delete it or move it to a new folder.
I can receive messages, but none would sent. It was working fine for months, but after I moved to a new location I can send with the Windows Mail. I have 5 ssages in the Outbox and every tiem I send this erros msg. shows up: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.
I have a serious problem - I have a certain software product (let's call it X) which works fine on all 32bit versions, but freezes up Multi-core 8 GB Vista Ultimate machine, when performing a certain actions (let's say, filling the spread sheet with data). After this program is done, Vista unfreezes and everything back to normal, but during the run, I cannot bring up any other window - not even a Task Manager (I can move the mouse, though) - clicking on the windows tabs does not do anything. I have 2 monitors and I can see Task Manager on a second one, if I bring it up before X starts to work and I see that CPU load never reaches 100%. But I cannot do anything with the PC until X is done working.
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'
Error check on my HP Laptop that has vista home edition. for some reason it froze at 4% in the first stage (1 of 5), at this point i was able to exit the error check by pressing Escape, i went on and defragmented my computer next and did various virus and spyware cleanups, then i decided to do the error check again, this time the same thing happened but now i am unable to exit the error check. so my question is: is there anything i can do on my own or should i send it in to a professional?
I have just bought a new computer that has Windows Mail installed. I have tried to set the program so that emails I have sent to delete are GONE (deleted) automatically when I exit the program. I have gone into Tools, Options, Advanced and Maintenance and checked the box that allaows for the automatically deletion of emails. I check the box but it does not stay checked and the program does not do what I want it to do.
I am consistently being plagued with problems in my Host Process for Windows Service and from two different sources in the Wdi Service Host. These are all the source for constant ongoing and automatic reporting to MS.
For the Wdi Service problems, if I manually check for solutions to these, the same old "No new solutions......
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 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 open a a certain program I keep getting the error code "windows Host Process (Rundll32) is not responding. What does this mean and how can I fix it?
I'm used to Outlook. I am getting email fine - but for whatever reason NO attachments show up AND I KNOW the message has them. This isn't just word docs but PDF and JPG's.
Is there a way to block the ads in windows mail without having to turn off Javascript every time I go into my account ? I am currently running adblock plus but it doesn't cut it.
wenn ich auf windows mail klicke kommt folgende fehler meldung "windows mail konnte nicht gestartet werden Der Windows Mail-Nachrichtenspeicher konnte nicht ge??ffnet werden. Die Postfachdaten von Windows mail werden derzeit von einem anderen Programm verwendet, z.B. von einem Virenscanner. Schlie??en Sie das Programm, oder warten Sie, bis der vorgang abgeschlossen ist. ??ffnen Sie Windows Mail dann erneut.

I have a rather odd situation, or at least for me, as I have never seen this problem before. The Contacts list in the To dropdown list in the Create mail windows does not match the Contacts list when I click on the Contacts icon on the toolbar of the WinMail window.
The names in the To list are listed with the last name first, which I never do, at least, not by intent. There are also names in the To list that are not in the correct Contacts list, and some that are in the correct Contacts list but not in the To list. There are some of the names from the Messenger that I never send emails to so I don't know how they are getting in that list. It really is irksome to start to send an email and click on the To tab in the email window and the name I want is not listed in that list, but, is in the regular Contacts list, I I have to type in the whole thing, or take the time to look up the name in the correct list and copy past the addy to the To bar in the email............
I have a large number of folders, several thousand, that I use to keep student tests and forms for our free online Bible College. A new problem has developed, starting October of 2009, which is now increasing in the number of folders affected. The email tests and forms will come in with one Subject line but something totally unrelated in the body of the email. Example: The Subject line will say "The Bible One Quiz Results" but the body will contain the test results for Salvation 5. And the file that is in the body is many times very repetative over several email submissions from my students............
