Rundll32 stopped Working
I've been getting this error message intermittently since installing Vista
Ultimate, Two questions please:
1. What does Rundll32 do and what are the consequences of it stopping
working?
2. Problem Report and Solutions tells me that the problem is related to the
video codec in Nero 7 and that Ner offers no solution. Does this mean that
(assuming I need it) I have no choice other than to uninstall Nero 7?

Re: Rundll32 stopped Working
And Nero's suggestion is?????

I would remove the program until I had thoroughly investigated the condition
with Nero.

Re: Rundll32 stopped Working
I've removed Nero 7, Richard. Thanks for your advice.
Tell me though, has anyone ever managed to get any feedback from Nero? God
knows I've tried so many times and on so many issues.
Now tell me that everyone else has make me feel even more paranoid.

Re: Rundll32 stopped Working
It could be that you just didn't install the very latest version. The only
way to get the latest version is to purchase it direct from Nero. If
versions changed from yesterday to today, you will get the new version.

If you already have paid for version 7.whatever, go get the latest upgrade.
Install the upgrade using the serial from your previous 7.version.

Re: Rundll32 stopped Working
Richard:
The version in question is 7.7.5.1, the very latest, and legitimate-
purchased direct from Nero and fully updated.
It is in from this that 'Problems Reports and Solutions' diagnoses that the
problems described are attributed to Nero7, specifically to Video Codec;
advising also that Nero offer no solution to the problem. Direct contact
with Nero elicited no response either.
The question asked in my first message remains- What is Rundll32 and is it
important? I find that the error message repeats incessantly when I am
attempting video editing, where it seems to slow everything down, and to
affect the quality of replay. So I need to know whether Nero is responsible
for this or whether it might be some other incompatibility issue (e.g..Adobe
Premiere Elements)
Thanks for your forbearance,

I also had a problem with video previews/thumbnails due to Nero 7.5.9.
It seems that two video codecs in the Nero common files directory was
screwing with default codecs. To fix the codec errors you have to
rename two files in the the following dir......C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Ahead\DSFilter\

rename the following two items:

NeVideo.ax - rename this (for example 1NeVideo.ax)
NeroVideoProc.ax - also rename this (for example 1NeroVideoProc.ax )

Re: Rundll32 stopped Working
Thanks very much Someguy for an excellent and successful solution to my
problems with Rundll and Nero7.
As similar type problems have had several airings on these boards, you
solution should receive special note.

Well done!
