You could try using system restore to repair the problem:
Go to Start, All Programs, Maintenance, Backup and Restore Centre.
Then click on Repair Windows using System Restore.
If this doesn't work try typing Windows Host Process (rundll32) into google and you will find quite a number of people have had the same problem.
You could also set up a new user account, transfer all your documents, emails etc.., and then delete the old user account.
