"\?? \C:\Windows\Explorer.exe"cannot start or run due to incompatibility with the 64 bit version of windows

A friend gave me your laptop to watch - there edition family vista (64 bit (I think) on it and when you try to run Explorer he says it does not find or access is denied and something about 16 bit / 64 bit (it has been a few days and I'm not memory clearly until what I try again tonight)

"\?? \C:\Windows\Explorer.exe"cannot start or run due to incompatibility with the 64 bit version of windows"

If you try to run a dll / Panel or anything like that, you will get an error message saying that it cannot run some 16-bit process or access denied.

I did a lot of research on Google and nothing someone he said worked - which "everyone" giving full access to the C:\WINDOWS\Registration, executes a command secedit, a sfc/scannow, do a system restore to the point of older, make a new user account, start up in safe mode...

So now I'm pretty stuck. I'm SURE I've seen this problem before with reference to 16-bit etc error messages, but in home edition I do not have the MMC users & groups (had to make new user with password renew then that starts in another environment) or the Security tab of the properties of file/folder for permissions NTFS etc (had to use icacls).

Can someone enlighten us justice on that shiney? : o I don't want to have to redo the entire Setup, I'm sure it is something fixable...

OK, so for those who want to know the real difficulty? --He came from a guy on the forums of TekTips

Before charging, tell him from a prompt CMD (Administrator).
Go in the the C:/windows/system32 folder and type "Rename verclsid.exe verclsid.old.
reset

I guess that I didn't that I had seen the name "verclsid.exe" in some of these error messages trying to run things.  I looked and saw it was to check the files or something.
Anyway I couldn't rename even in admin console so I started in a different environment and renamed the copy in system32 and syswow64.
Now, I've started and bang things seem to be ok! I guess I should try and replace it with a known working version? That or just give back it.
I doubt that everybody does all c:\windows control total should be too dangerous, right... just?  : P I don't have a way to put permissions by default anyway, so Hey.  Formatting beats!

Now why everyone here didn't it?  I knew it would be simple!  : p

    I'm playing the game "Railroad Tycoon 2-Gold edition" on my laptop which is running Windows 7. Whenever I try to install it, he repeats to me - "the program or feature? \G:\_setup\setup.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions"... .and there is nothing I can't do to go around that at all.  Normally with my old games I can at least install, then just then change to be compatible and is not, but I can not here. Any help would be great I want to play this game, it's one of my favorites and I hate how I can't play everything simply because computers are better than them... If this is the case, then they should still be able to support games that are 10 + years older than them, you know? I can add more information if needed, thank you.

    You must contact the manufacturer to see if they have a patch for Windows 7. He would come by the manufacturer and not by Microsoft.

  • I get an error "" device cannot start (10) "" when I try to connect the stereo headset bluetooth Motorola SF600.

    I tried to pair my new Motorola SF600 bluetooth stereo headset so I could listen to and control Windows Media Player with my helmet. When I matched the device with the Microsoft Bluetooth driver has been installed, the service of the helmet was not available and troubleshoot message recommended that I upgrade to the Broadcom Widcomm driver. I followed all the instructions, downloaded the latest Widcomm driver and installed. Then I restarted the computer. I could see the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar, but it was red and not white (or blue). When I clicked it, it just says adapter lights up, I did. As soon as I hit this button, the bluetooth icon disappears and no bluetooth connection is possible. When I look in the bluetooth properties and the properties of the driver, I see the message "device cannot start (10). I searched all over the web a possible solution and the closest thing, I found was a fix article talking about a fix for bluetooth adapters that cannot start. I asked the fix and tried to apply it, but whenever I try to run it, it gives the message that it is not applicable to my computer. I wish you a few recommendations for how to fix this.

    Original title: Win7 won't let dongle BT start with the latest Broadcom Widcomm driver

    Thanks for the advice, but I came to the conclusion that Windows 7 does not support the advanced features of this particular Logitech Bluetooth adapter. Windows XP takes to load them entirely, but for some reason any Windows 7 isn't. From Logitech Web site States expressly that the Bluetooth adapter supplied with my keyboard and mouse will not support anything other than a mouse and a keyboard, which is unfortunate. I don't know why, but there you have it. I'm giving up now.
