C:\Windows\mixer.exe appears when I turn on my computer first

Is what is coming up on my screen when I turn firstly my computer asks me to run, I have to, what is? If I should not the lance how can I get rid of him?

I do not have this file on my system, so it's probably a Vista file.  While in Safe Mode (press F8 repeatedly during boot to enter the mode safe mode with networking) try to run anti-malware programs because you are probably infected with some form of malware. Do NOT run! To correct this problem download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html.  Once you find and remove it, you can stop the scan.  You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com).  Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems).  Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft.  I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed.  Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago).  You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same caveat that only program AV one ALONE can be installed and running on your system at any time). Restart after you have completed all the scans.

If these analysis and cleaning to solve the problem (if the box no longer appears), then we will check some of your system files just to be on the safe side:

Go to start / programs Alll / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well, it is completed with no corruption that he could not repair (cases of corruption, post here).

While we are here, we will check your hard disk by typing chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to repair the bad sectors.

I hope that this will solve the problem.  If not, post it here and we will look at some other troubleshooting steps.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

  • Alienware x 51 r3 crashed to the Alienware logo screen when I turn on my computer first time every day.

    My new r3 Alienware x 51 will not start windows when I turn the first time on the computer in daily life.
    When the Alienware logo is displayed on the screen, the computer will not load. (No loading cycle appears under the alienware logo). Then the screen becomes black. Keyboard and mouse lights are turned off. Some time, the screen becomes blue background of windows, then the loading cycle does not work any time more and some, the screen has crashed on the Welcome screen of win 10. However, when I turn off the computer and start again immediately. It works normally. If I switech it off and then start it about 2 hours later, the computer will crash again. Every day the first time to activate it, I have to run it twice.

    I used Dell diagnostic software to search the computer, everything is OK. But it's my second X R3 51 during this period of a month. The last graphics card problem, I switched to this one. But the other also has the same problem. Therefore, in my view, it is that my other hardware problem? I connect a keboard Corsair K95 RGB, G502 mouse, joystick Thrustmaster and a saitek rudder. I used a USB 1 4 adapter to connect some of them. The X 51 system is widows 10. I've also used these materials with a X 51 R2 two years previous. Never encounter this problem.

    Got my X R3 51 in December. All of us have had this problem of gel. I "think" what fixed my X 51 R3 rose dating drivers for Intel hardware. Download and run Iobit Drive Booster or snail Majorgeeks.com driver and see if it helps.

    I don't know why it happened, but as you say, there is probably something at the start.

    Next time that Windows Explorer opens, navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Démarrage.  If the folder contains a shortcut to explorer.exe, delete the shortcut.

    Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\ [your user account] \Start - and repeat the process.

    If there are no shortcuts for explorer.exe in one of these startup folders, close Windows Explorer.

    I use windows XP Home Edition. It takes awhile to start when I turn on the computer. How can I speed up this process?

    original title: slow start
    • Faster processor.
    • Fastest hard drive.
    • Faster or more RAM/memory.
    • Less things loading at startup.
    • Appropriate and the most recent hardware device drivers.

    In XP, you can cleanup and optimize it in some way, by using the following tips:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:
