I have already tried running
sfc /scannow via command line and it did not find any integrity violations. Haven't installed anything new on the machine either. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Rolling back the machine to a previous state is not an option as there is just too much
data on the machine that changes daily.

Hi LBJ,
When do you get this error,open a folder or run a program ?
1.First of all ,we should ensure that the Windows and the drivers has got the latest update.
2. If the error occurs when opening folders that contain video files, try this :
Open Control Panel > Folder Options > Always show Icons, Never Thumbnails
3.If this issue occured when you ran a program,I recommend you to reinstall the program.
4.If the issue persists ,I recommend you to try clean boot to have a check. If it does, the problematic software can be located by dichotomy. To perfcorm a clean boot:

Office 2013: Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

Hi,
I have problems with adding additional e-mail address to my Outlook. When I open the Mail Control Panel Item, go to my Exchange Profile and add a new e-mail address I get a popup indicating that the Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working.
The only way of adding extra e-mail addresses is to remove my entire Outlook Profile. In the initial wizard I can add all Exchange mailboxes that I need (I have 3). After I've configured my Outlook profile I always receive the Rundll32 error. When I try
to create a second Outlook profile I still get the same error.
I've tried the following:
- Repair OST file
- Repair Office -> Control Panel and Online Repair
- Reinstall Office
- Reinstall my entire PC
It doesn't matter which e-mail address I add in the initial Outlook configuration wizard. I always receive the error when I try to add a new mailbox, even when I add a mailbox that does not exist (e.g. [email protected]).
Even after reinstalling my PC I still get the same error. I'm using Windows 8.1 (x64) and Office 2013 (32-bit) on a Lenovo W540. None of my colleagues have this issue. It's a domain joined PC and we are not using Roaming Profiles.
For troubleshooting I also created a local account on my laptop but I get the same issues with this account.

Hi,
I'm also using Office 2013 32-bit and Windows 8.1 64-bit on my computer but doesn't get this issue. As you mentioned you reinstalled your PC, the first thing I suggest is to make sure your Windows and Office have been up to date.
The second thing is to make sure you are using the system with an administrator account, this ensures you the enough permission.
There is a possibility that some 3rd-party programs are interfering with "Mail", we can try to perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with this:
1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click
Search.
2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click
msconfig.
3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services
check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click
Disable.
6.Close Task Manager.
7.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer.
If in clean boot the issue doesn't exist, the issue was probably caused by the 3rd-party programs. For further information to troubleshoot, you can refer to this kb below:

It's recommended to download and install

"Host Process Rundll32 Has Stopped Working"

Whenever I try to access the advanced settings option in my TouchPad, I get this this message that Rundll32 has stopped working. This is frustrating as I can't figure out what went wrong. Was working fine about a month ago.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

After a few restarts it worked

"Host Process Rundll32 Has Stopped Working" on my new X200s

100% reproducible :
1. boot
2. log on
3. close lid
4. open lid
5. "Host Process Rundll32 Has Stopped Working"
I get this on my new X200s which is nearly in out-of-the-box condition. It runs Vista with SP1. I installed a few programs (Thunderbird, Chrome and OpenOffice) and configured it to do nothing when the lid closes.
I guess I'll try installing the Power Management driver update (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-4GXPEG) and then Vista SP2.
Any other ideas ?
Thanks,
Jean-Louis

The driver update did not help.
In the meantime I noticed that the power gauge vanishes from the task bar after the error message.

Hi,
What’s the result in Clean boot mode?
If this issue does not persists, I would suggest you check your applications.
If it still exists in Clean Boot mode, please run SFC command to fix system file.

Itunes has stopped working - quicktime will not open missing rundll32.exe

I have a Gateway computer with windows vista. When I try to open itunes I get the message that itunes has stopped working and windows will close. When I try to open quicktime in the control panel I get the message the windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working. I can not uninstall quicktime. I have downloaded and installed itunes and quicktime many times but this does not help. Please someone help me. I am at wits end. How do other people have itunes working with windows vista?

Hey MrsBeth, it looks like your PC is on a network or something. I am uncomfortable giving advice since I don't know what's going on there.
What I am comfortable with is these directions below. Give yourself full control and ownership the the entire C: drive and all its subfolders. And temporarily turn off UAC for good measure - you can turn it back on after you've installed iTunes.
Let's cross our fingers that the install goes through!

Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working when I install Java

Hi everyone
I have a computer where I not can uninstall or install Java.
Every time I try to run the Java uninstaller, or the Java installer (the latest version 7 Update 51),
Windows give me the following message:
Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
When I click ok to the message, the uninstaller process continue, and after that, I guess Java is
correct uninstalled, but I am not sure, because I still can find an add-on in Internet Explorer 11 from Java, but the folders etc. from the computer is
deleted.
Therefore I searched in the Windows registry database, and deleted all keys and sub keys regarding Java.
Before I tried to install Java again, I run a registry cleaning tool and the tool also find many errors that I fixed with the tool.
When I tried to install the latest version of Java again, the installation program give me the same results I describe above.
After the installation I am more confused before I uninstalled the older version, because:
1. When I start up Internet Explorer 11, I allow that the Java ADD-On must run, but if I try to verify that Java is installed correctly nothing happen
2. If I try to run Java in the browser Google Chrome, Java run correctly, and I also can verify that Java
is installed correctly.
Another error message
Windows give me when I installed Java is that a process in Windows called
Rundll32.exe is stopped.
When I install / uninstall other programs all working fine.
If you have a solution I can try, or alternative an answer to why the problem come up, I will be
happy.
The computer is running Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anders

Have you installed Microsoft Office 2010 on your development machine?
Especially if you have installed Office Groove 2010, this problem will happen.
So, uninstall Groove and try to create a process. If the problem still persists, unstall Office 2010 compeltely and try again.

HT1689 I can reach the iTunes Store from my iPod Touch, but it will not open on my PC running Windows 7. Message shows that iTunes has stopped working. This happens every time. I have updated iTunes Software. Will not solve the problem. What is wrong

I have uninstalled iTunes several times and reinstalled it on my PC running Window 7 with all updated loaded. When I click on the iTunes Store Box, Nothing happens except for a message that reads:
          iTunes has stopped working.
The following items give me a choice, but no answer comes up. The computer will shut down the website.
          "Check online for a solution and close the program"
          "Close the program."
There is an item below the box that is selectable for View problem details. When clicked a long list of items show up. I have listed some of the problems as written, but I do not understand them. I know the iTunes Store has been available on earlier versions of of iTunes but is not on this version. How can we go back and download an earlier version of iTunes?
     Here are some of the Problem Details:

I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.

Can't get itunes. I get the following message when I click on either the shortcut or the program. It says ITunes has stopped working and I can either check on line for a solution and close the program or just close the program.

When I click on the itunes shortcut or the program I get the following message:
ITunes has stopped working. My two options are: Windows can check on line for a solution to the problem or close the program.
It seems that my entire library is not there. If I sync my ipod will it add it back into my library on the computer?
I've even tried installing again and nothing works. Tried the "repair" and it says that ITunes is loaded but I stil get the above error when I try to open the program.
Thanks

ITunes has stopped working ...Running Windows 7(64)

I upgraded my home PC Desktop to Windows 7 earlier this year and had no trouble bringing over iTunes from my previous platform (Windows XP).
I recently returned home to the US from a work assignment out of the country and because my iTunes resides on my home PC desktop, I didn't open up iTunes for the past 6 weeks. During this time Apple released iTunes 10.5. When I returned home, the old version of iTunes was still working. However, when I upgraded to iTunes 10.5, iTunes stopped working. The error message: "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have worked through the following knowlege bulletins (nothing has fixed my problem):
(a)" iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues"
(b) "iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins"
(c) "iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio"
(d) "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows vista or Windows 7"
(e) "iTunes for Windows: system restarts, blue screen, or quits unexpectedly when accessing iTunes Store"
the last bulletin (e), recommended ensuring that my drivers were up-to-date. So I also updated my drivers.
Lastly, I contacted iTunes Store Customer Support (although my problem isn't with the store, it is upgraded iTunes running on windows 7). They told me the issue was "outside (their) expertise" and recommended I look at this discussion board.

PS - someone recommended uninstalling Apple Quick Time Player. I don't have Quick Time Player.

I had the same problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. This solution only partially worked for me. I still couldn't connect to the iTunes store.
The following solution worked for me:
COPY    QTMovieWin.dll
FROM    c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\
INTO     c:\program files (x86)/iTunes
