Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file
Failed to start the Windows Audio service on the local computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file.
What version of Windows, including service pack (right click on my computer > properties)
What past just before the problem arises?
Click Start > run > services.msc > OK
Scroll down to "Windows Audio"
The Windows Audio service must be started and its "Startup type" should be "automatic". If it is not started, double-click the entry and click on the Start button. If it is unable to start the service or instead generates an error message, the file for the Audio Service may have become corrupt or deleted (although this file has to be protected by Windows File Protection).
Search for your system (probably C :) drive
audiosrv. DL (it's only one L)
Make sure to look in the "system folders" "hidden files and folders," and "subfolders.
You should find the audiosrv.dll (with two Ls) in C:\Windows\system32.
If she is not there, it should be in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
If it's not there either, you have a file named audiosrv.dl_ in C:\i386?

Hello
Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.
I'll certainly try and help you get the problem solved. Please provide us with some answers for a better understanding of the issue.
1. Since when are you facing the issue?
2 are logged as administrator?
3. where's the music folder? Located internal or an external storage device?
4. do you have an anti-virus installed on the computer program?
5. are you aware of any recent software or the hardware in the computer changes?
You try to open the file as administrator. Right-click on the file and select run as administrator.
You can also try to launch an online scan and check if that helps.
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
You can also start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists. If the problem persists, you can start the computer in a clean boot state, and check if all third-party software may cause the problem. Clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3, mentioned in the article to start the computer to a normal startup.
Hope this helps and provide us more information if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

Hello
I struggled in the last 2 days to install my new all in one Pro LaserJet MFP M125nw. I tried almost all the stuff Google and this community offered under the heading "the system cannot find specified file", without success. My frustration is huge because I'm not really a novice when it comes to solve similar problems.
Here is what I do and what is happening:
I downloaded the latest version of the complete software for XP HP offers through their Web site. I tried to install the drivers through the install wizzard, then manually (used for the files in the folder 7ZXXX in the directrory temp) but no matter what I do, I get the same error again and again. In fact XP recognizes the printer and the scanner, it installs even drivers for the scanner and it works but after maybe 50 attempts in different ways, XP couldn't install the printer driver.
Here are a few screenshots:

XP - error: the system cannot find the specified file.
I was installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 today and it worked very well until he came to update registry after the installation process, after what is happening the installation closes and then displays an error "the system cannot find the file specified." I tried to close all programs, and then restart and shut down everything that runs when the computer starts and which also failed.

Run Disk Cleanup and disable the security software and t hen try the same installation and check.

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...
Thank you!
Argue for your limitations and of course they will belong. -Richard Bach, Illusions
I have a machine with the same problem
XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600
I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).
It does not, but a reboot is required because the system is running on the old dll
MSTSC.exe works now

I tried all of the suggestions posted and have had no success in restarting my print spooler. Help, please.
Original title: I tried to restart the print spooler as directed, and he returned the error 2: the system cannot find the specified file. He does that and is it fixable?
@Winston Microsoft M committed Support Engineer 'expert '.
I can see your response that you did take the time to reproduce the problem and then try your own ideas to check if the problem persists.
Here is what I suggest to you, so you can learn how XP actually works:
Start in the XP Recovery Console or Safe Mode, so Windows File Protection does not run.
Rename your file c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe you can remember (such as spoolsv.bak). Now, the file is "absent".
Restart normally.
Then try to start the Print Spooler Service and you will see the error.
So why don't you follow your own advice and run SFC and troubleshooting automated (as you suggested) and check if the problem persists.
Please report your results.
When you see that it does help and that SFC does not replace the missing or damaged file (in the system32 folder) and that the automated troubleshooter does not help, will sing it a different song (we hope).
Don't forget to rename your spoolsv.bak to spoolsv.exe when you're done messing around autour.

I am trying to install SP3 on my XP Pro. I get a notice on my screen, stating: "Service Pack 3 Setup error - the system cannot find the file specified." Don't know what I'd do. Thank you. Peter glass
That's good news. I think you also need to analyze of rootkits being on the right side. So, now:
Search for rootkits with a program SPECIALLY designed to detect and remove the (aswMBR):Download this file to your desktop. Double-click the icon to run the program. When the opportunity to download and install the latest Avast definitions do.Run a scan. Results in red indicate that this was not a false positive! Do you need to remove the rootkit (including "FixMBR" if necessary).And finally, leave your PC on overnight and search for viruses, using this site:Once we are convinced that your PC is clean, here are my instructions (just in case where you still cannot run batch of Geek-Tech file, etc.):1. download the installation of SP3 and IE8 (beforehand) files. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links for the installation files:
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)
(You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)
(You need to install IE8 AFTER SP3! Trust in me.)
IMPORTANT NOTE!
It is VERY important to ensure that Internet Explorer is at the level IE6 before installing SP3. In case you have IE7 or IE8, you must uninstall it / them, using the Control Panel Add / Remove programs. Let us know if you need assistance with this.
Once again:
Make sure that IE is IE6 level before installing SP3. You can go directly from IE6 to IE8 after SP3 has been installed.
2. disconnect Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices.
3. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:
Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates
4 set up a clean boot. The last thing you need is for a program that runs in the background to interfere with these updates! (It happens!) For more information:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353
(Note that this is the same as setting up a "Diagnostic boot.")
Reset.
5 install the SP3. Restart TWICE.
6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.
(What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).
7 unscrew the clean boot. (That is, return to the Normal startup).
8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):
Start | Control Panel | Security Center
9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.
10 re - enable automatic updates.

Hey all,.
I have a user running windows Xp Professional with service pack 3. The user gets the following error message when it connects to the computer every morning. "Error: could not load file or assembly ' WMIControlLibrary, Version = 1.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = null ' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the specified file. The only thing that seems to not work is calendar Office Print Wizard. I deleted this file and the problem persists. Also, I have not found anything in the case where the viewer that relates to this error. The only mistake I found was an issue with the .net framework. I removed all the facilities framework and their updates. Restarted the computer and ther error disappeared and was replaced by errors in programs that require this file to work. I reinstalled .net framework 2 and returns the error. I left all the machine off separation executives. I did a repair on the .net framework without change. I'm not quite sure that the .net framework is the problem though. I guess that if just. At this point I don't know where to go from here how to solve this problem. Anyone got ideas?
