  original title: Windows error that has annoyed me for a while.

  There was a problem starting

  c:\user\username\appdata\local\temp\80980150.txt

  The specified module could not be found.

  This is the error I get whenever I boot windows and I think it may be related to a problem I was. Most of my prefrences recorded for windows is not in working condition (as my taskbar is not able to change the settings). I have scowered the interwebs for a response, even using Google and even * shudder * Bing. My Riddle has baffled many, can someone help out me?

  I have consulted the temp folder and this particular text file is not present. Maybe if I create a new one, it will work? I'm not to try it again, but if someone could confirm that I would be much happier!

  I don't know any reason that Windows must be looking for a text file to start.  You can create a file in this location, but I think it would be better to use the free Windows Sysinternals Autoruns tool to find and remove the reference to the file.

Using Regedit, (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\ASUS) the problem is that I can't find the i-Setupxxxxx, only (Standard), Id and Index.

  Hello, I am using windows 7 Edition family, equipped with a 500 GB hard drive but about 270 GB of storage space has been taken by this hidden folder. disk of the local computer/C; / users/username/Appdata/local. I tried to delete it, but does not, the record is filled with subfolders named in alphanumeric format, as well as product keys, but all in blue fonts.

  Please if anyone can tell me how to fix or remove this folder or even part?, I would be very grateful. Thank you

  We need the DMP file because it contains the single record of the sequence of events that led to the accident, what drivers have been loaded, and what has been loaded.

  
  

  WE NEED AT LEAST TWO FILES DMP TO SPOT TRENDS AND TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.

  You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting in SafeMode (F8) with networking.

  If you are overclocking stop.  (chances are that if you are unsure if you are, you are not)

  To allow us to help you with symptoms BSOD on your computer, download the contents of your folder "\Windows\Minidump".

  The procedure:

  * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another location (temporary) somewhere on your machine.

  * Zip up the copy (compress)

  * Please download to a service like Skydrive or "Rapidshare" to share files and put a link to them in your answer.

  Link to find out how to download below.

  http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

  To ensure the minidumps are enabled:

  * Click Start, in the search box, type: sysdm.cpl, press ENTER.

  * On the Advanced tab, click Startup and recovery... Settings button.

  * Make sure that automatically restart is unchecked.

  * Under the writing debugging information header, select image partial memory (256 KB) in the list box drop-down (varies from 256kb).

  * Ensure to that small Dump Directory is listed as % systemroot%\Minidump.

  * OK your way out.

  * Reboot if changes have been made.

  Please also run MSinfo32 and download the output as well.

  To run MSinfo32 please go to start > run > MSinfo32

  Go to 'file', 'save' and download the PDF is saved with the DMP

  System specs are extremely useful then please include everything you know.

  
  

  Blue screen view and that crashed are often wrong and should only be used in case of emergency...

• Windows repeated error "Windows cannot find C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Temp\Install_30150\ins_sm.exe".

  Hi all

  I have a Windows 7 pc. Several times a day, an error message appears which States:

  "Windows cannot find C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Temp\Install_30150\ins_sm.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "

  Changes in number (i.e. 30150) to each new error message.

  When I go into the Temp folder I find empty files called Install_30150, Install_21338 etc. I don't really know what makes these records and which try to run an executable file in them and finds that they are empty!

  Could you please help?

  Thank you very much in advance

  Hi Elise,.

  The Temp folder in the location you can get the error is temporary. It stores temporary data when you access a Web site or when you download a file. You can delete this folder. Select all the files in the Temp folder and delete it.

  Let us try to check if you are facing this problem because of any third-party application. Attempt to start the clean boot of your computer state. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

• The files and folders in C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Temp can be deleted (Windows 7)?

  The files and folders in C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Temp can be deleted (Windows 7)?

  It is generally safe. Applications do not normally permanently store files there. If you're worried, use disk cleanup (cleanmgr) to clear the TEMP folder. By default, disk cleanup does not remove the files/folders that have been accessed in the last 7 days.

• A lot. TMP files that accumulate in AppData &#62; Local &#62; Temp folder.

  I can't tell you what creates the tmp files, but here are a few
  General info on the topic: the temp folder has space to work for
  programs. Programs may create temporary files for their own
  temporary use. Each program must delete all of its temporary files when
  It closes, but for various reasons it is not always the case (for
  example, if the program crashes, it only ever to do so). That's why
  It's a good idea to periodically clean the what is left.

• I get an error, access denied to the C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp

  Original title: access denied to the C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp

  Hello

  I have a problem with the Windows 7 C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp temp folder. Sort randomly, I lose access to this folder, in the sense that if I open a cmd terminal and I try to cd to that folder, it gives an access denied error (at least that I start cmd as administrator). I noticed in the list of permissions on this folder does not appear the SYSTEM. I read somewhere that this is the problem, so I added back, and then it worked. Unfortunately it disappears every day the list of permissions, and I have to put in place every day which is annoying. Do you know what could cause this problem? How can I see which changes these permissions?
  Thank you
  Razvan

  Hi Razvan,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community

  According the information you have provided, I understand that you found error access denied when using certain commands to the command prompt. I will certainly help you in this matter.

  1. have you logged as administrator?

  2. do you have an antivirus software installed?

  Some commands that you run at a command prompt, you need the administrative privileges for the good functioning of Windows.
