Hello, I am writing on behalf of a client.

The customer has been in touch with the people of McAfee support for four days and they are still not able to install the antivirus program due to errors with Event Viewer. The people of McAfee asked the customer to reach the MS Support since then, as they say is a Windows problem.

The event viewer contains errors in the Service Control Manager,

DCOM, NetDDE.

That's my problem, put support in for me.  Some fo include errors in the event viewer:

DCOM got error "the service did not to start or control request in a timely fashion." try to start WSearch service with arguments "" to start the server:

    Cannot install itunes for windows - error: Apple Application Support is required to run Itunes Helper. Uninstall and reinstall (as I did twice)

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Cannot install this hardware. An error occurred during the installation of the device

    Can someone please HELP ME - I get the following error message: cannot install this hardware. An error occurred during the installation of the device. They system cannot find the specified file.

    I am not able to connect any hardware. It started all of a sudden. I can't connect my mouse so it before I'm not able to use my computer.  He did the same thing when I put in a USB key, there was the same error message.

    If something is damaged? How can I resolve this - pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
    You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
     
    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Iastor0 error in Event Viewer (computer freezes)

    Hello! I'm looking for advice on how to troubleshoot or correct an error in the event viewer.

    Error in Event Viewer shows Event ID 9 "the device, \device\ide\iaStor0, did not in time-out."

    I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Optiplex 755 image fitness and everything seemed fine at first, but the user has noticed that they could not restart the PC at the end of the day as a message of 'ending now network activity' kept popping up, the only way they could stop the pc has been by the power button. After turning the pc back all was fine and that they could connect on the network end and the computer worked fine, but after I left the computer on all night and it controls the next morning that there was just a background image, no icons, I could move the cursor but that's all the keys ctrl + alt + delete not failed by the same , so I had to shut down the pc by the power button. I came to conclude that until the computer crashes completely there is a problem with pulling to the top of a Web page, you can click on IE but nothing comes, and I also can't get in manage by right click on my computer. What's weird, is that the other application seem to run ok until the entire system crashes.

    So, I looked in the event viewer and noticed when gel starts there is an error event ID9 as I said above. Have never seen this before, I'm sure it is the cause of the problem. I've been setting up workstations with Windows XP and have never had this problem now all of a sudden, I'm having the problem with a handful of PC Dell Optiplex 755. I made sure the drivers are installed and up-to-date. Does anyone know if running the command sfc \scannow benefit to fix this problem? Antivirus works very well and I scanned the pc to make sure that there is not a virus.

    I searched the internet and have not really found a solution to this. All the tips I will be grateful.
