Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

Hi, I've installed Windows Vista RC2. Last week I installed Ulead VideoStudio
10+ and Ulead CD&DVD PictureShow 4. Since then every time I open an explorer
windows in a folder with an MPG file, a message box with the legend "Windows
host process (Rundll32) has stopped working" appears.
I think it's because Windows can't show me a preview of the file in the
icon. Anybody knows how I can fix it? Thank you very much...

RE: Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

I have a couple of programs that installed fine (and were labelled OK running
upgrade advisor before clean install) in RC2 (5744) but I noticed once those
programs were running, about 10-15mins into it I get the same Rundll32
stopped working message and the program has to shut down. I tried a few
things to fix it with no resolution.

That was a show stopper for me.

Re: Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

I installed Vegas 7.0 and encounter similar problems with Rundll32. I knew
not to install the Sony Media Manager as this portion of the app relies on a
version of SQL that is not compatible with RC 2.

Vegas will run (though I haven't test all aspects of the app) but I need to
cancel out of a couple of Rundll32 error messages before it will fully load.

I have no problem with Explorer windows and MPEG or other video files and
Rundll32.

I'm having the same problem, clean install of RC2. When I did an upgrade
from build 5728, it was working fine!
