Application has stopped working - dll files appear to maintain cause a lot of applications on my PC Vista crash

For several weeks now I have experienced an error where my apps keep crashing, and I get an error message "Application stopped working" Windows.

I use Vista Ulitimate, with service pack 2 now loaded. My PC is a strengthened high-level consumer GM5446E of Gateway with Duo Core processor and 8 GB of RAM. I use it for multimedia design (web and graphic work for the most part) and use Adobe Creative Suite 4 applications on a daily basis.

I had a lot of problems in the past with this PC and even had to reinstall the operating system twice already. The second time I bought a retail copy with a 64-bit version of Vista to make the most of the processor.

I spent about 6 hours on the phone with tech MS representatives this week already. Each of them tried the same thing - ran checkdisk, downloaded Malwarebyte Anti-malware and ran that (says there is no infections), and finally each of them says: I'll need to reinstall new OS. The second said he would not advise to initially because since I have service pack 2, it should be a complete reinstallation and since I have so much software loaded on my computer (thousands of dollars) it would not be a very good solution. But finally after trying everything, he says, it's the only option left.

Details on my problem which he said, is that research on the history of reports on problems and Solutions (which contains a list of 36 progams with a total of 277 reports of errors (for most Application errors) stopped working, I was told that the culprit on each instance is a .dll file in the application that caused the error.

The last agent suggested that the problem was caused by a virus that probably has already been removed from the computer, but had already corrupted .dll files. The problem I have with this explanation is that I was not able to run a virus scan since long before the beginning of this problem (because of Norton anti-virus is not responding on my machine) so how would the virus have been removed? If there is a virus that caused the corruption of the files .dll on my machine, I think he would still be here (which is apparently not the case as Malwarebytes found no infections).

Does anyone have an experience with an issue like this that could confirm or deny the solutions suggested so far?

Thank you.

Hello

Please, do not assume that the system is clean because the chances are that it is not.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to detect malware
is often accompanied by a much more difficult to detect and remove the payload. So much better to be too full now
than to pay a high price later. Check with them to an extreme exaggeration, and then run the cleaning only when
you are, of course, that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
the Windows when you can.

Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT and add Prevx to be sure that he is gone. (If Rootkits run UnHackMe)

    Try to use the System File Checker to scan your operating system for missing/corrupt files, perform the following steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    2. in the area of results, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be asked to type the password for an administrator account. If you are the administrator or type the administrator password, click on continue. Then click on continue.
    3. at the command prompt, type Sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista CD.

    Hey Kevin,

    You will need to run the command above in the elevated command prompt.

    Refer to this step help: How to run a command with elevated privileges?

    After you run the command of high fashion, you should get the message, "" DLLRegisterServer in wmp.dll managed."

    Also, you can run the method 2 regardless of the success or failure of the method 1. Please try these methods first and see how it goes.

    Normally, it is appropriate to fix this problem by running SFC scan and you would not need to copy the file.
