    Hi DJLef,

    It has been a while since you posted your message, but I think, it will also help others. I had the same problem and found out that it was only a Windows 7 problem, and fixed it as follows:

    1. Deactivate the "intermediate storage" of thumbnails under Windows 7.
    2. Download the software "Process Monitor": http://www.chip.de/downloads/Process-Monitor\_22625020.html
    3. Start "Process Monitor": There you will find the file on which dllhost.exe attempts to get access over and over again. In my case it was an .avi file on my Desktop.
    4. When you have found your file, remove the file from your computer.

    The problem should be solved!

    Good luck!

    I want t blame Trend Micro as well. I got the same issue and I remember it started after I installed Trend Micro Anti-virus.

    it didn't help to remove it either.
