This follows on from another thread about problems of freezing when in Windows XP Mode running under windows 7 64 bit: The original problem was to do with Windows XP Mode freezing unless the mouse was constantly moved around (see above link). In that thread, I found a common link with another problem I've encountered in Win7 64 bit. Sometimes, the Rise of Legends game will not start. Investigating that problem turned up rundll32.exe sitting there chewing up a full core of the processor as a sub-branch of a process tree under legends.exe (the game itself). Killing legends.exe and leaving rundll32.exe isolated (but still chewing the full core of the processor!) cures the problem and RoL starts ok.

This is an intermittent problem but is consistent across a session. That is, for a given session it will either always work ok or will not work at all and needs the aforementioned 'fix'. The link with Windows XP Mode is that it also uses rundll32.exe to launch. Again, Windows XP Mode seems to either always work ok during a session or it will exhibit the freezing symptons. The fact that one or the other (RoL or Windows XP Mode) works or not within a session is not consistent. One can be working ok whilst the other is not, and vice versa.

Sep 5, 2018 - Generally, EXE errors are caused by missing or corrupt files. Rundll32.exe is included with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8. Jul 4, 2017 - Rundll error is one of the most annoying error messages on your Windows 8.1 computers. Actually, Rundll (also termed as Rundll32.exe) is a.

The reason for this post is that it's now occuring on my other machine (also Win7 64 bit) on a different piece of software - the game Black and White 2. This now shows the same symptoms as for RoL - rundll32.exe chewing up one of the processor's cores and nothing happening. The 'fix' is the same as for RoL - kill the white.exe process (the Black and White 2 game) leaving rundll32.exe still running and restart the game.

Up until today, this other PC has been running B&W2 with no problems (someone else got hooked on the game and has been playing it on that machine for the last couple of weeks when I'm not using it for 'serious stuff'). Don't get your hopes up too much guys, but I've installed Win 7 64-bit SP1 on both machines and both problems have disappeared.

PC1 - Windows XP Mode appeared to be fixed (and more responsive) after following Ankito's instructions. The rundll32.exe problem had disappeared after yet another batch of Windows Updates about a week earlier anyway. PC2 - The problem with rundll32.exe was still present despite nearly identical Windows Updates. Pixelview playtv mpeg 8000gt driver windows 7.

However, installing SP1 seems to have fixed it. So maybe SP1 is worth a try as a fix. (Despite the huge download penalty - over 900Mb for the 'one size fits all' version! Why does the world assume broadband over the entire planet? Australia is far from backward in technology but it is a huge place and really fast broadband is limited to the cities.

The 'National Broadband Network' rollout from our government holds some promise but the timescale is a bit unrealistic in this fast-paced world.) Hope this may help. Please let me know if anyone else had this problem and if SP1 seemed to have fixed it. I copied most of this from that other thread - the relevant bit for this threaad is in bold. After nearly a week with no problems, I did two things (silly me!): • I let Windows XP Mode install the Win7 upgrade for integration (cute the way it mounts this as a replacement for the DVD drive - left me wondering what the heck was going on for a while which is why I delayed its install in the VM after the SP1 install in the host.) • Another Win7 64-bit update (Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2524375)) installed itself. The freezing in Windows XP Mode came back - but subtly different. It only seems to freeze now when copying from a host drive to one of its VHDs - internal operations don't seem to freeze (Acronis backups and large file copies). Sorry to be a bit vague about this but I only had a short time to check it out - copy stuff to the VHD from the host (froze every few seconds) and then modify it (a lot of mouse movement but no apparent freezing when it came to backup time).

I now copy stuff to and from the VHDs by mounting them in Disk Manager in the host when the VM isn't in use - quicker too! More telling is that the problem with rundll32.exe and some 32-bit games has also come back!
