  • Error 623 - system could not find the directory entry for this connection

    This error box 623 often appears when I'm online and it's boring, what the hell. It is a "network connection error", and it says "cannot load the dialogue."

    I had tried a "fix" that I found on the microsoft site using microsoft, but it was not useful. He said that my computer tries to dial a number for the VPN connection. But I don't have a VPN connection and none are listed under my network connections.

    Help, please!

    Hi Crudblue.

    There is a KB detailing this problem and the workaround. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/320693

    To work around this problem:

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click on network connections and Internet.
    2. Click on network connections.
    3. Right-click the VPN connection, and then click Properties.
    4. Click to select the checkbox Dial another connection first and then click on the appropriate connection. If there is no dial-up connection to select, you will need to create a dial-up connection and repeat these steps.

      If your VPN connection does not require a dial-up connection, click to clear the checkbox Dial another connection first , and then click OK.

    I hope this helps! If you have any questions please come back!

  • System could not find the environment option that was entered.

    The Trend Micro Client caused a bit of stir in my computer.

    He gave me the UiSeAgnt.exe error and I couldn't open any .exe files. I uninstalled Trend Micro and that pop up more rises. But the "System could not find the environment option/variable is entered" is yet to come when I try to run the .exe. This means that same cmd cannot be opened. I can not connect to the Internet independently wireless or wired. Audio system is not even the sense system speakers or external audio devices.

    I tried the system restore, did not work. I tried SFC/scannow, did not work. Now my current idea is to back up my files and blow the computer on with a clean restore. What should I do? I use a Vaio E series 14 p, btw.

    If it really comes down to it, how much memory should I backup everything?

    Hi Vey,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft community.

    Your system is connected to a domain network?

    This problem occurs in situations where Shutdown.exe cannot access the UserDomain environment variable. The task of the judgment which is on demand by using the at command runs under the system account. When the task is run under the System account, the UserDomain environment variable are not accessible because it does not exist. But the problem occurs mainly on the areas of server.

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if these help to resolve the issue.

    1. start your system in safe mode.

    2. press on the Windows key + R.

    3. type sysdm.cpl , and then click OK.

    4. click on the "Advanced" tab

    5. in "Startup and recovery", click "Environment Variables".

    6. under "System Variables", click 'new '.

    7. for "Variable name", type in windir%

    8. for 'Value of the Variable', type in C:\Windows

    9. click OK on the all the dialog boxes that pop up.

    10. restart your system in normal mode.

    If, however, your system is connected to the normal mode, please see the following support article.

  • The system could not find the environment option that was entered.

    I have Vista Home Premium. I must have met a significant corruption or a virus. Here's what the system won't let me do.

    System restore
    Launch any program exe
    run cmd as administrator
    launch msconfig
    Basically, everything I download don't throw (including several ladies virus recommended this forum and others)
    If it's a virus, he got by AVG free edition

    Zitouni,

    Thanks for your reply, good point on the File Checker, I didn't know that. Unforuneatly I have not see your reply until I decided it was time to re - install the system. One thing to note, I couldn't do a 'run as administrator' anyway possible. This system was really corrupt which leads me to believe that he may have been a NTFS/Fat 32 Co-mingling question. Just a guess, but I really don't see how it could have happened otherwise.

    Another thing to note, if you have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a 250Gig HD-make sure that you format the partition, you then load the SATA drivers! Also, make sure that the restore partition does not primary. Make sure that you format (assuming that you have backed up your data before!). Otherwise, it hangs on Setup to complete the installation. Who took me ahwhile to understand.

    Everything is cool now (reinstalled Vista), just thank ful there is a site like this to run things by! ;)

However, I first noticed that something was wrong when I tried to open the photo viewer and was faced with the problem of the impossibility to find the module specified for this program.

Once more, the next step on the start-up of the Installation DVD of Win 7 to use the Startup Repair tool doesn't have that the system was unable to find the environment option that was entered. I proceeded to try to use the system restore, but is facing the same problem too.

    Thank you very much.

    You can probably fix your problem by using the system restore. Here's how it works:
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Enter the administrator password when you are prompted. It is often empty.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
