• Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed

  One of our machines (HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC running Windows Vista x 64) will receive the error "Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed" with lots of close error. He reappears (as well as all windows flasher to non-aero, then back to aero) in a few minutes, spends about 5 times per hour.

  I did some research on this and have already taken the following measures without a bit of luck:

  1 run the command chkdsk / SFC scan - nothing found via chkdsk, SFC found some issues fixed, and some, it did not set. Them that it solves not all related to Windows Sidebar, which I do not / does not start.

  2. put updated drivers for ATI Radeon 3200HD - this had a lot of new questions. Installing caused newer drivers ATI catalyst to no longer work with errors during installation and popup errors at startup. After trying several solutions workaround to try to get installed it, I ended up coming back to the driver that came with the laptop, that are properly installed and working without error. I am skeptical of update of this stable driver as a solution to the dwm.exe error.

  3. this problem just started yesterday, that occur with not a lot of changes. Other than updates of windows (I think that .NET framework and a few other updates installed), I replaced NOD32 antivirus with Bitdefender antivirus. The system was stable with bitdefender for about 2 weeks, so I'm not convinced that this program is causing the error.

  4. the event viewer shows the following:

  Failing application Dwm.exe, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e02696, failed module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18881, time stamp 0x51da3d16, exception code 0 x 80000003, offset 0x00000000000461f0, process id 0 x 124 error, start the application time 0x01cea0365a457adc.

  Offset, process id and start on time all vary, but there are a lot of these application errors in the viewer all screaming Dwm.exe like the failing application.

  What should be my next course of action?

  You do not receive an error but a caveat. NTStatus results (the set of codes execption used by ntdll - the failed module) begin to 0 for no error, 4 for information (you should never see this), 8 for putting guard and C for error.

  It's your specific error.

  //
  MessageId: STATUS_BREAKPOINT
  //
  MessageText:
  //
  EXCEPTION {}
  Breakpoint
  A breakpoint has been reached.
  //
  #define STATUS_BREAKPOINT ((NTSTATUS) 0x80000003L) / / winnt

  Problem is, you shouldn't have breakpoints. Breakpoints are set by debuggers and stop the execution of the program to the State of the program can be examined. There should be no breakpoints in a retail system. More breakpoints are inserted into memory during execution of the program in a debugger. They tend not to do in the actual file.

  So here are two assumptions, either you have no exit code, IE test code (driver?). Or you have a running program that behaves like a debugger (which is suspect).

  Each of the three towers of programs, services, and drivers in increasing amounts. So restrict the possible culprits.

  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• The ColdFusion 64-bit windows setup program stops working after recent microsoft update

  ColdFusion 64-bit windows installation stops working after the recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.

  My question is at the end.

  Deploying coldfusion 9 enterprise 64-bit on a trial version Windows 2003 64 bit what OS with OS data center all updates from MS (at 07/04/2011).

  Measures taken (remember, this is all 64-bit):

  1. the installed the base OS that has been slipstreamed with SP2.

  2 checked w / microsoft and 63 OS updates installed.

  3. launch the exe of the trial CF9.

  4. as soon as the first screen (the one that looks like it's the extraction of files) then finished the second screen (the one that says simply SEE Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar moves quickly 95% to the right and the installation application closes. No error, no nothing. No log file either.

  5. after a moment of silence disbelief (and a new attempt/reboot, etc.), I started to google. I found nothing. However, I found a post (thanks dspent!) which is useful in what he says how he managed to get a log file of all kinds, first extract the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launch the adobe_cf.exe by hand.  (Snafu Dspent install was different from mine, but his position has been very valuable and started me in the right direction.)

  6. has obtained a copy of the file rarunzipper and extracted from the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe .

  7. in the windows directory created in step 6, I have launched adobe_cf.exe.

  8. the same thing (, the installation application closes. No error, no nothing. Log file No.).

  9. I look at the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).

  10. I see inside this file, a disturbing message: 'a fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime' then ' framework issue ntdll.dll ' , then ' the accident happened outside the Virtual Machine Java to native code ".

  11. OK, now I'm thinking ntdll.dll. Native code! It's like Java tells me that for some reason any, that he can't dance with the operating system.

  12. on a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the installation of SP2 64 W3K3 (ie: skip step 2 above this time).

  13 bingo! That the installation works.

  14. as a result, one of the 63 patches that I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with Setup see

  15. back on the first server (with MS installed security patches and that CF installs not on). In the adobe_cf.lax of file CF (one of the files extracted in step 6), there is a line that mentions where the installation gets it is java. Find this file, and check java version Installer uses. It is using 1.6.0_14 - b08.

  16. on the way to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24 - b07). Downloaded and installed IT.

  17. change a line in adobe_cf.lax :
  front
  lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
  After
  Lax.nl.Current.VM=C:\\Program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
  (this assumes that you leave step 16 install to the default location)
  Save the file.

  18. run installation ... * IT WORKS ! *

  Obviously, the built-in java provided with the installation of the CF program is no longer compatible with some changes introduced by a recent update of MS on SP2 64 b. W2K3 platform

  And now comes the interesting part. Although I made the installer to use the new java, it had not incorporated into the generation of CF (ie: in following, you see always c:/coldfusion9/execution/jre AND the java.exe version that is located in this directory is the original version, not the latest version, I forced the installation program to use).

  On the surface, CF looks OK, but I did not test any application yet.

  And finally my
  * QUESTION *.
  Var java.home would be appropriate just to point to the new java directory? I see that the structure of directories and files are not exactly the same (well close) so I am certainly not break things by doing this, but instinct tells me that if the installer beat using the old version, then something else will bring down the road if I do not use the new version. On the other hand, the differences between files and directories is enough that it makes me very nervous with my skill set java limitied to make that decision. 

  Thanks in advance!
  Byron

  Hi Byron,

  Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those who have Win03 SP2 +. Must say not come across the similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.

  So, to your question. Adobe (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) security bulletin recommends to run CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do this. I take you installed the JDK and not only JRE 1.6.0_24? After installation of monitoring JDK as follows:

  Stop the CF - stop SERVICES.msc "ColdFusion 9 application server.

  Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you have a backup.

  Change the line CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find "java.home =" and comment it for example:

  #java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre

  Add the new line like and save next:

  Java.Home = C: / Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre

  Note he slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime): you must point to that of JDK, because the other JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.

  Start CF via SERVICES.msc.

  HTH, Carl.

• LifeCam Studio has stopped working after the firmware update?

  Hi all.

  I bought one of the new LifecamStudio 2 days ago. I installed the camera, following the instructions of course. At the end of installation, I was able to get my self in the window of the Lifecam software, up to now, no problem, the device worked. Suddenly, a pop-up message will appear, telling me that the firmware of the device should be upgraded, then I pressed OK. The update of the firmware started but was abandoned shortly with an errormessage, saying the upgrade was not successful. I tried to reinstall the firmware, but now he tells me Hat I have the latest firmware installed. The nproblem is therefore now that, when I instert my camera in USB port windows find the camera, but as soon as I start any program it uses the camera he's leaving a Lifecam icon (in the hardware Manager that is) to an unknown unit. Software Lifecam studio told me that there is no camera installed. I installed the camera on other computers without a bit of luck.

  / Stefan

  Fixed it :)
  In the Device Manager under imaging devices I've seen "Webcam" - before the botched fw update, it said 'Microsoft LifeCam Studio' and was a diff driver.  I rolled back the driver (or if it does not work you can force it to use one of the program files \ lifecam) then reinstalled lifecam - my cam works now.  Now - what's the problem with this update utility and why it changes what is driving the camera uses?

  I am really confused here. This should be simple.

  Things I've tried:

  -removal of the cooking

  -remove my firefox profile and reboot for a new profile
  -Uninstalling firefox with "apt - get purge" and put it back
  -different wireless networks

  Xubuntu 14.04, Firefox 42.0

  (I also have another strange question, and I don't know if it is related. Every once in a while when I hit enter to search, I am taken to search for the parameters instead of the execution of the search. This happens maybe once a week.)

  > Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.

• Windows Explorer has stopped working error - I can't right click a folder on the desktop.

  This is my brother's computer, and they do not arrive in his account, only mine.  I have administrator rights, but it seems not to matter. This problem occurs only occasionally.  For example, I can right click on this text, copy it, then paste it.  However, if I go to the desktop and try right click on a folder to rename it, I get the error.  The error indicates that Windows Explorer has stopped working, when it says that it restarts, then the Office updates really quick. None of what I found in the forums have worked again this is why I started a new thread.  I think it might be a problem with the registry, then someone can please help me quickly find a solution?

  Note: I can not run as administrator command prompt because I can't right click, so I can't run sfc/scannow.

  We are volunteers here for the most part.

  It's a shame that we don't know anything about the distressed system but it was MS Answers owners have chosen to implement this community - do not ask basic system information when a new question is asked that make problems a lot time and frustrating.

  But now they way they choose to turn things around here.

  Maybe this will help you with your system of unspecified of brand and model with the release of unspecified Windows and Service Pack and unspecified install antivirus/antimalware:

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program.  Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.

  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display.
  Choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:

  

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Windows Explorer crash

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition (right click).  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure.   You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.

  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!
