Starting Windows Vista Business, it compares the following message:

Rundll32 stopped executing and you have to close programs

followed only by the option OK

Particular: my DVD Rom didn't run from a month and often Explorer stop
running when I open a general window.

It's a mess.

May somebody help me?
 
Assuming that the error reported does not appear right from the first
boot-up itself,please use System Restore to revert to the last restore point
when the error did not occur as well as the DVD-drive worked fine.

Hi Stefano,

Rundll32 loads library files as a response to a call from some program. A
failure to load usually means that the file is either missing, corrupt, or
doesn't contain the expected routine. What you will need to do is use the
msconfig tool to isolate what is loading at boot and calling for a library
file. Start the system in Safe mode by hitting F8 at boot, then click start
and type 'msconfig' into the search line. Hit <enter> to load the tool, and
go to the startup tab. Uncheck non-essential programs, including your
antivirus software. Click apply/ok and reboot as directed. See if this
allows you into normal mode without the error. If so, you can slowly
reenable a few lines at a time until the error message reoccurs, and from
that you should be able to deduce where the problem lies.
