Hi, One of our users are getting the error message 'Windows host process RunDLL32 has stopped working' Fault Kernel32. He is getting this message every 30 minutes or so and sometimes it pops up twice at a time. He is running Windows Vista Pro x86. Things I have tried: 1) SFC scan - came back with some errors that could not be resolved 2) Turned off DEP on all programs. 3) Installed latest updates and new NVidia drivers 4) Nero is not installed 5) Checkdisk scan and cleanup 6) MSConfig removed almost all startup programs and services. 7) Used ProcExplorer to identify that RUNDLL32 was running the Nvidia Hotkey service. Disabled this but still same problem occurring.
