Host Process For Windows Tasks Has Stopped Working?
Dec 17, 2008
I get an error message 3-4 times daily saying that the windows host process has stopped working. I am using Build 6956. I am doing normal things that i always do like build web applications, searching the internet, and writing a word document. It appears out of no where. I have attached a screenshot of the error message.
So, every time I boot up and login to my laptop it says that the "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working." Is there a way to fix this?[CODE]
I have a Dell Inspiron 1440 Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. This message on my computer keeps coming up in one window it says ost process for windows services has stopped workingWindows is collecting more information about the problem this might take several minutes. It's a gray bar, It never loads, another window is also open that says Do you want to send more information about the problem?I click on view details and this comes up, I copied and pasted this[CODE]I click send information, and it goes away and comes back a little while later. When I click cancel, or the x it goes away and comes back a little while later also.
problem is that when i start up my computer i get a box that pops up twice which says ''Catalyst Control Centre: host application has stopped working...windows can check online for a solution to the problem....now ive run 'Driver Genius' to update all drivers but the boxes still pop up, it doesent seem to be affecting the computer in anyway but its kinda annoying
im running win7 64bit and have noticed that host process for windows services is sucking up 30mbs upload and 30 mbs download per day . i have checked and my system is clean . i just wondered if there was anything i can do to stop them using so much data . in just 3 months its used over a 1 gig which is to much.
I have Windows 7 32 bit on my laptop and Windows 7 64 bit on the desktop, both Home Premium. Every time I go online with the desktop it starts a download according to NetLimiter. The download appears as Host process for Windows services and it expands to process 720 and then to 92.122.126.243:80. I use 3G mobile broadband for my net access and this download could use a considerable amount of my Gb allowance. Using NetLimiter I can kill the download but I would like to know what is happening and do I need the download? Some idea of the d/l size would be handy as well. None of this happens when I log on using the laptop.
I recently re-formatted my hard drive, and noticed an icon in the task bar called "windows host process (Rundll32)". I looked it up and it said it could be malicious. I'm not sure if it is or not, but I ran Malwarebytes and nothing came up.
i have a computer that was running fine for a year or so, but now its been a couple of days and after an hour or two of use, it slows down and finally freezes. I dont know what it is. The clues i have include:
-ive run memtest86, no errors.
-ive scanned the whole system with 4 different virus programs, so not a virus.
-but ive noticed that rundll32.exe has been using ALOT and i mean ALOT of resources. After a couple hours, norton tells me that it has high disk and cpu usage. i checked core temp and voila, 100% on all 4 amd phenom 955 cores. I dont get it.

To keep my computer running quick, I usually skim through my processes at boot up and see what can be trimmed off from the starting processes, or just from my computer. Host Process for Windows Services shows up twice on the list. Right now at 125,080k and 75,476k memory. I don't recognize these processes or why they are using so much processing. Any advice for tuning those down or speeding up my PC in general (it automatically runs defrag, disc cleanup, standard accessories, etc. once a week).

I have been using wampserver 2.1 for about a week. I moved my client website files under wampwww and was successfully testing PHP/MySQL based sites until today. (I didn't use it at all yesterday, but it was fine 2 days ago.) Now localhost is pointing at inetpubwwwroot (IIS) and my testing environment is unworkable. I have no idea how this change occurred or what to do to reestablish the pointer to wamp.

Recently my computer has been force closing applications like Photoshop and Windows Explorer. It usually happens when I right click in Explorer or try to open anything in Photoshop. When it happens, a dialogue box comes up that says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" or "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working" Under the details it displays this information:
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:Explorer.EXE Application Version:6.1.7600.16768 Application Timestamp:4d688122
Every time I manually start hibernation it will begin the process; the monitor will go blank, the harddrive starts making the image and after about 30 seconds the the monitor comes on and the computer is in normal operation. I have tried enabling it with the command line (powercfg -h on) as the administrator with no success. This just started yesterday. I have not installed any new applications or any new updates.
As i read on forums my problem is quite common. Cod 2 and Cod 4 when i start multiplayer it crashes and gives me cod 2 stopped working error. My sound card is "High Definition Sound Device" i can't find stereo mix on my pc and i tried plugging a mic in pc and still the games crash. Single player works fine.
I can use a usb pendrive, or a memory card reader in my usb.But both of my protable usb hard drives are not showing when plugged in.I have tried a usb 'Y' cable.but no good.Both drives work on my netbook..But not on my windows 7 pc.
I tried to break the disk on several parts with Partition Manager, but at the middle of the process it froze and I forced the computer to restart. After resetting it says to "Insert the Recover Disk or other Recovery Media". After it I put the disc with the Windows 7 and at the menu where you have to choose to move (by keyboard arrows) to installation, the keyboard does not work, so I can't move to the installation and it jumps directly to the Local Disc. I also tried Windows XP disc and the same problem - there is no chance to reinstall the system. The keyboard is working in the BIOS, but after does not work.
