  • Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

    Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:

    The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

    Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.

    I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.

    I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.

    The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.

    I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.

    For the record, here is some information on my system:

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)

    c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

    I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...

    OK problem solved.

    I ran the scan of the updated and all updates already installed.

    I checked the list of updates installed and already had KB2592687, KB2574819 installed.

    However, when I looked under installed updates, it showed KB2592687 and 3 others in English while I have a Dutch version of Windows.

    So I decided to uninstall the updates English 3 so I could reinstall it again.

    "Note that after uninstalling these 3, Remote Desktop already worked again.

    Apparently, these 3 uninstalling uninstalled a lot more, because after a reboot, there were 10 updates available instead of only 3 that I uninstalled). And after installing them and another restart there was even more updates available. Overall, it took three update sessions and restarts all up-to-date again.

    Although the list of installed updates again 3 updates in English, Remote Desktop works now. So obviously something has went wrong with one of the previous sessions of Windows Update.

    It seems that there are a few system files that have trouble.  One of them being mstsc.exe, I wish you find spyware or infection by the virus first, before you try the next step.  Please see the sticky thread in the security forum.  MVP offers some good advice how to remove these problems.

    If everything is clean, we will try a repair installation to replace the problem files and also to ensure that other system files are good.

    The 'repair' installation (upgrade on-site) will not affect your installed programs or data.  Just make sure that you are already connected to your computer when you start the installation.  Do not boot from the DVD.

    If the installation does not start automatically when you insert the DVD, run setup.exe from your DVD player.

  • Windows cannot find the 3668Microsoft software license terms [Windows 8 companies]

    I have an image of Windows custom Enterprise 8 13 GB (with office, UI, apps and Lenovo customizations specific apps/drivers pre-installed, also auditioned the build to create a standard set of tiles of App in the splash screen for all users by using the sysprep copyprofile unattend.xml for OOBE option).  I have split into 4 files 3.6 GB stormwater management each [also tried files more small sizes 1.8 and 2.5 GB].  I copied them into the sources folder.  I renamed the file install.wim OEM install.wim.oem to avoid that it is deployed.  I created my autounattend.xml file and copied to the root of my key USB FAT32.  I need the FAT32 to install UEFI mode, so formatting to NTFS is out of the question.  FAT32 is a file size limit ~ 4 GB, that's why I split the backup.  Flash Player starts in mode UEFI end and autoattend kick-off, however, after that he started the installation process, I get the above error.

    I have tested with the following scenarios.

    #1

    Basic vanilla capture image with some modifications of the user of Windows 8 interface

    Sysprep/audit

    Sysprep/generalize (no unattend.xml file used for sysprep) /oobe

    captured image

    renamed the install.wim of OEM to avoid deploying.

    abandoned the set/3 GB of the file install.wim on the flash drive and using the same autounattend.xml.

    This setup through attempt went perfectly.

    #2

    using the same basic vanilla install Windows 8. WIM image from above, I split the backup into 3 files install.swm and them deposited in the flash player.

    I renamed the file install.wim OEM to avoid deploying instead of my image of stormwater management files

    I get the error above, even as I did using my custom 13 GB great image.

    When a WIM image is divided, why windows has wrong to locate the license terms or I do something wrong?  And don't say that my image is too big ;)  Is it possible to move the files to the conditions of licence in the first installation. Management of stormwater so that they are in one piece, perhaps?

    I did these tests several times trying DISM for capture and split covers as well as imagex and got the same results.

    Furthermore, I am a user of Ghost and since Symantec does not have a ghost version that supports the new UEFI to image partitions yet, I'm learning Microsoft way ;)

  • Cannot find the partition recovery on the Satellite A200-1BP

    Hello

    First of all, I have a Vista Home Premium 1BP A200 and I lost the product recovery disc and I want to create one with "Recdisc.exe" product of Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator or Vista.

    They both failed because I didn't get a message "No disk HARD recovery Area!", then I looked in the "Disk management" section and could not find any partition without a name.

    There were two primary Partition which were 1.46 GB 'in good condition (EISA Configuration)"and my Vista (c).
    So, what should I do? Can I create a recovery partition?
    Or can I set the Recovery Disc Creator? (v. 5.0.0.5)

    PS: I got my computer several times with my CD, which probably used my recovery partition.
    Seriously, I'm out of ideas and I don't want to lose 50 dollars just to get another copy of disc PR.

    PS2: I used press '0' and 'F8' thing too, they no longer work.
    Is there a way I can restore without any disk?

    > Where can I solve the Recovery Disc Creator? (v. 5.0.0.5)

    It seems that the recovery of HARD drive partition is missing
    The first 1.46 GB partition is automatically created by Vista and the C partition is the system partition, the partition of HARD drive recovery doesn't seem to be available

    > PS: I got my computer several times with my CD, which probably used my recovery partition.
    Retrieve you the Vista using the recovery disc or what drive did you use?

    If you have installed the system using Microsoft Vista disk then, it was a big mistake because it deleted the partition of HARD drive

    > Is there a way I can restore without any disk?
    Either you use a Vista MS disk and missing drivers, which you can download from the Toshiba page or you order the Toshiba Recovery disk don't see another solution

  • Cannot find the printer Laserjet 5100 for Windows 7 driver

    I have a HP Laserjet 5100 printer installed on a computer running XP that is on a network without internet access working group.  I have a new Windows 7 computer to the same workgroup.  I want to print documents created on Windows 7 computer with the Laserjet Printer, but I need to install the printer driver Windows 7 to do this.  The drivers of HP support site says the necessary driver is built into Windows 7, but it tells me it's name or I would like to download it.  Suggestions on how to find or download the driver or what is called?

    Hi micror,.

    Drivers for Windows 7 are only available online through Windows Update...

    If the specific computer is unable to access the web, you can download the drivers from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

    As you the not mentioned your operating system type, you can find the two options below...

    If you are not sure of your type of operating system, follow the steps below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02033168

    For the edition of 32-bit operating system, use the first result, 64-bit for the third or the fifth option (that very of your processor type, wrong that does not...)

    http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=LaserJet%205100

    To download the Microsoft driver, first add the required file to the basket.

    Then click on view basket and follow the download link...

    Because the packet is compressed, you will need to use any archiver program to extract (for example Winrar).

    Last but not least, as a printer is installed on Windows XP can not be automatically shared with the new client OS you need to add drivers to manually as follows:

    1. After you download the right driver to extract it to a temporary folder.
    2. From the Client (Windows 7) go to printers and devices and click Add a printer.
    3. Select this option to add a local printer
    4. From the port selection screen you can create a new port by selecting a Local Port.
    5. In the port name fill a \\HOSTNAME\Sharename prefix
      • To locate the host name of your HOST computer (XP PC), made a right click my computer and select Properties, the hostname will be listed on this screen...
      • To locate the name of the share go to printers and faxes, click right-click the printer icon and select Properties... Then, go to the sharing tab and appears the share name.
    6. Continue add it an assistant of the printer and the driver selection, click on disk... Browse ocntaining pilots the INF folder from your printer.

    Good luck
