Hello everyone, I got a serious problem with my computer which is making it impossible to play warcraft 3. When I open right click options or by double click warcraft3. No flash screen, no crashes, just plain refuses to start. Waiting a while and starting again the game starts flawlessly.
This only happens when I start warcraft 3, all other games and apps work fine. I have a few other games on my computer which are heavier than wc3 but run fine. So for some time I followed the above procedure to play wc3 but I realized that there was a lag in gameplay.
After the quiting the game I experienced significant lag in other apps. So, I opened the task manager and saw that one process rundll So I terminated it by end process command. It does not surface in any other games and apps.
Another interesting thing is that rundll32 won't surface if I start wc3 via the world editor test map. I don't understand what the problem is but it sure is annoying. I even cleaned my registry and scanned by PC for viruses twice but to no avail. Help please! Mechanical Man. Joined Jan 18, Messages 5, I really hate this rundll32, I always close it if I see it running, seems to be more of a trouble than good.
I believe that if you see it in task manager, some code caused it hanging, making it dead process talking out of my ass actually. Mechanical Man said:. Click to expand Dr Super Good.

The programs only allow you to call functions from a DLL that are explicitly written to be called by them. This article provides more details on the use of Rundll and Rundll32 programs under the Windows operating systems listed above.
MIcrosoft Windows NT 4. There is no support for Rundll the Win16 utility on either platform. The Rundll and Rundll32 utility programs were originally designed only for internal use at Microsoft.
But the functionality provided by them is sufficiently generic that they are now available for general use. Note that Windows NT 4. If you pass the wrong type of DLL to Rundll or Rundll32, it may fail to run without indicating any error messages. INF There are 3 issues to consider carefully in the above command line: 1. Rundll or Rundll32 search for the given DLL filename in the standard places see the documentation for the LoadLibrary function for details. Windows NT supports preemptive multitasking and threading like most large scale systems.
The kernel can stop any task and start others without help from the application programmer. NT also manages virtual memory like a time sharing computer and supports networking and remote terminals.
Since NT has become the base technology for workstations, it nearly completely dominates desktop and laptop workstations with Apple a distant second and Linux yet fewer. When Windows 3. This decision caused tension between Microsoft and IBM and the collaboration ultimately fell apart. The operating system was designed to run on multiple instruction set architectures and multiple hardware platforms within each architecture.
The platform dependencies are largely hidden from the rest of the system by a kernel mode module called the HAL. Windows NT's kernel mode code further distinguishes between the 'kernel' whose primary purpose is to implement processor and architecture dependent functions and the 'executive'. This has led some writers to refer to the kernel as a microkernel , but the Windows NT kernel no longer meets many of the criteria of a 'microkernel', although this was the original goal of chief architect Cutler.
Both the kernel and the executive are linked together into the single loaded module ntoskrnl. Routines from each are directly accessible, as for example from kernel mode device drivers. Windows NT was the first operating system to use Unicode internally. Windows Server "Longhorn" codename. The first release was given version number 3.
The NT version is no longer marketed, but is said to reflect the degree of changes to the core of the operating system [1]. The build number is an internal figure used by Microsoft's developers. Like Unix , NT was written in a high level language such as C. It can be recompiled to run on other processor systems, at the expense of larger and slower code. For this reason, NT was not favored initially for use with slower processors with less memory.
It also proved far more difficult to port applications such as Microsoft Office which were sensitive to issues such as data structure alignment on RISC processors. Unlike Windows CE which routinely runs on a variety of processors, nearly all actual NT deployments have been on x86 architecture processors.
Windows NT 3. Windows NT 4. Only two of the Windows NT 4. All of the other ports done by 3rd parties Motorola, Intergraph, etc. The Xbox uses a heavily modified and stripped down Windows kernel. This kernel was heavily modified again for the Xbox which runs on PowerPC. This version is not for separate sale, and little is known about it. The minimum hardware specification required to run each release of the professional workstation version of Windows NT has been fairly slow-moving until the 6.
No specifications for processors or free disk space have been published for Vista at the time of writing. Various Microsoft publications, including a question-and-answer session with Bill Gates , reveal that the letters were expanded to 'New Technology' for marketing purposes but no longer carry any specific meaning.
The letters were dropped from the name of Windows , though the box contained the phrase 'Built on NT technology'. This action ostensibly reflected Microsoft's intent to unify its home and business lines, then represented by Windows 98 and Windows NT 4. Some believe this to be the result of a trademark dispute between Microsoft and Nortel as on the bottom of the Windows NT 4.
