Config.ini is missing?

A program I thought I had deleted keeps trying to initialize them when I start my computer.  The message says to go to add/remove programs and remove the program and reinstall it.  I can't find any files remaining for this program when I do a search.  The message began to appear about 2 weeks ago, and the program was deleted about 3 months ago.

Reinstall it, then uninstall it, instead of 'delete '.

  • Creating executables - how to add config-ini?

    Hello

    I created a new graphic interface which reads at startup a file config.ini.

    In vi, I specified the path to the ini file to be in the same path as thecalling-vi.

    It also works if I create an executable? So that the ini file is searched for in the same way as the executable?

    Thank you

    You must use the function "ApplicationDirectory" to specify the path to the configuration file.

    It will work in the EXE as during development, until you consider the rules for this function. Please see using LV for detailed information on this.

  • Windows system32 config system is missing or damaged vista!

    OK, I got this message (windows system32 config system is missing or damaged vista) when I start my computer and I don't have a Setup disk or the recovery disk? How can I fix it?

    and I was wondering if I could upgrade to windows 7 same with that?

    The upgrade must be done out in a Vista operating system.

    If you cannot start in Wiondows:

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  • Best options .vmx and config.ini for maximum security of the host

    Hello.  The most effective way to keep your private data is by keeping it on a separate computer that is not connected to the internet.  Better yet, only transfer files to and from this computer using usb flash drives, not network.  I would do the same thing with vmware player.  The guest would be used for navigation and connected to the internet via a usb cable rather than fill the host's ethernet card.  The host would be the private computer that has a connection to the internet.  It will have all the tcp/ip or other network completely removed features.

    The only means of communication between the host and the guest will be a usb flash drive.  The guest would be without a hard drive, a liveCD of linux, which would only have a disc temporarily when you connect the USB flash for it.  It goes without saying that you should not connect usb flash to the guest after navigation in a dangerous site.  Or even any site unrelated to download just one you want to record to the host.

    But I've heard there are always ways to invade privacy, something to do with the Clipboard, pagefile, exploits, etc., and most can be combated by configuring the .vmx or config.ini for maximum security options.

    Does anyone know what are the options in the .vmx or the config.ini file should be used for maximum security, to complete isolation of the host?

    It is good to hear Hat based project.

    The problem with the on-board unit is often a wrong configuration (such as keeping the default values). These devices can be operated directly from distance or indirectly via a host operated on the local network. Otherwise, the router is vulnerable directly from outside, a host on the local network can for example be targeted by an xss attack that targets more your router. SPI Dynamics from their publication a portscanner of javascript for the local network (search google for it). At www.gnucitizen.org, they have a lot of router base articles (some of them mention mesing with dns via upnp (scary stuff). Some links on this stuff;

    http://SecLists.org/fulldisclosure/2006/Aug/0097.html

    http://www.shoaibyousuf.com/2009/04/ciscos-Linksys-router-is-vulnerable-to.html

    http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/0801-advisories/HomeHub-UPnP.txt

    A misconfigured host on the local network can be devastating too. Remember a few years ago when the DreamBox became popular (it's actually a GNU / linux). No one hardly changed passwords by default and where wide open to the internet on port 21,22,23,80. Now connect to port 22 (ssh), meant you can use it as a proxy in the local network (to log into the router and do whatever, or target other hosts on the lan). Google search for it also.

    On MOA, it didn't is nothing other than a server stripped 2003 running as LocalSystem. It means that it is not patched and can be exposed to exploits more than servers entirely patches. It will, also, a pain in the back to add patches to such an MOU. Ulli you agree? However, given that the system is a version of server, there also fewer services that may be potentially vulnerable to exploits. If you have two vectors in the opposite direction, such a system could be on the vulnerability. To run patched systems entirely in the eye of the ram at http://www.disklessangel.com . By passing as LocalSystem, means that once exploitet, the operator can make preatty although, as opposed to less than a user of privilged in expoitet. Also ongoing execution in a State without drive, limit significantly impact the feat will do for your system (at least to vm (with bootkits in head)) that the malware disappeared on restart. However, if you where exploitet in ram, the attacker could still get all your personal information that you presentation while boot (just like as if you where linking the local hard disk (only difference don't have the disk in the next startup).) Once the network connection is cut off, even attach flash drives, will leave malware what what to do for your flashdisk, as always, there are in ram, expect that connect the disc (but is resolved naturally if reboot before you connect the flash). How would you be able to download and save a file in such a case?

    The next thing to worry about is the type of connection to your router. If through wireless it is a whole new world of expoits (xss for free/airpwn, breaking encryption, mitm, operator chipsets, etc.), so definitely go for ethernet cable.

    The decision of virtualized or not, my vote would go to non-virtual, as there is at least an attack vector less to worry about IE EP-mode pure diskless as MOA.

    BTW, what kind of project is this?

  • Problem with the config.ini instance

    pls advice... If there is some other way to use the passing the Presentation server cache server cache not OBI.

    Thank you

    Now can you pls correct me if I'm wrong after purging the server cache and * not ignitions presentation server cache * IBOT will take the latest data from the database.

    Yes it will be latest data from DB and to your right. If you purge the server cache everything is cleaned and when MetaFrame is run, that he must speak to the BI server to fetch the details in order to accommodate the presentation server cache, as requested.

    There is another method to purge the cache after each race AND, you create an ibot for the fire and by writing a custom script it purge old data and we need to plan sound after the ETL run... so it cleans the data and when the end-user is delivered the next day and want to see new data, it is there to see. It could help you

  • Windows\System32\Config\System is missing or damage on Satellite 5200

    Hello

    After a system crash I have on my 5200 always the next message after startup:

    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    -WINDOWS-System32-CONFIG-SYSTEM
    You can try to repair this file...

    As I wrote in various support forums, it seems that the Windows XP registry is corrupted. There is an adviser to Microsoft to fix this, but that's why I have to boot from the CD.

    I tried to change the sequence of booting (from HDD to CD) access the BIOS at startup but all the possible key (and combination) did not work, I found: F12 (which should be the right one for the 5200 series), F1, F2, DEL, C,...
    If I hold down ESC at startup I get a minimal installation but only to change the time and date.

    Are there any experience available regarding this issue? Toshiba support responded to my support request.

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know if this will help but check this thread m:

  • \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is missing or damaged

    I got a message saying that windows does not start because the following file is missing or damaged: wystem, config, system, windows.  I have long lost my windows installation cd, but I have the key code of the product than the original installers placed a sticker on the bottom of my laptop with it there.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?  I am able to use another disk with my own code?  Do I need to buy a new installation disc?  I am at a total loss!  Thank you for your suggestions.

    Without an installation CD, the recovery is a little more difficult.

    You need start your computer from a bootable CD to start your recovery.  Two CD bootable Windows PE according to prices indicated BartPE , UBCD4Win.  Both methods require a building process to create the bootable CD and both methods require that you have a Windows XP disc install (it can be borrowed) to generate this CD.  Once you build, you can boot from it and try to run the "chkdsk" with the /F or/r option program.  Often this will fix your disk and you can boot from it.

    The other approach is to copy your registry file (including the file system, which is damaged in your case) to restore system backups and replace the files that are giving you problems with these backups.  To do this, you will need to boot from a bootable CD.  Microsoft KB article for this procedure is here:

    "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >
    Part 1 of KB307545 is rather 'at risk' and I found that the easiest to perform this procedure is to boot from a CD of Linux Live [free] such as Knoppix.  These discs are easier to create than those above and do not imply generally download an .iso file and using the function 'Burn Image' programs of disc burning to create the CD of this download.  Once started on the Linux CD, pick up the KB307545 in part 2, step 6.  Copy files using the graphic interface of Linux (Right-click-Copy and Right-click-Paste) instead of using command line commands, as described in the article.  You end up copying five files in the folder "System Volume Information" which contains the system restore points in the \Windows\System\config directory, then you stop, remove CD and restart on your hard disk and then perform a restore of the system (part 4 of the procedure).

    Hope this helps and good luck,

    Take it to a real computer store (not the leeks and peaks at BestBuy or a BigBox store) and the
    put a new hard drive in it and reload Windows. The old disk can be put in another computer that the
    second player or in an external drive cover so the files on it hopefully can be replaced. Then, the
    This data can be saved to other media. Redundancy is better so use several methods.

    It is also possible the player you have can be fixed, however, more you try with the error
