    Can anyone help?

    Well... It has been a week. I know too much now.

    ATTENTION: This field is very complicated AND there are too many incorrect analyses out there.

    The problem for me is (FOCUSED) that the current user HK had entires THAT SHOULDN'T BE!

    The computer settings are found under the Local Machine of HK. HKLM must be correct.

    Procedure: REMOVE all entries in HKCU. Correct path the InprocServer32 value.

    My specific (2738) error occurred trying to find "vbscript.dll" (aka "\{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8"})

    Some antivirus software redirects requests for certain things by herself (aka 'diversion'). If the

    InprocServer32 is EMPTY (in HKCU - for me). All of the solution has been to remove the HKCU entries.

    Another little attention is: (for example) vbscript.dll has several references (app, authorization, RegExp)

    so be on the lookout for the 2 and 3, as well.

    \{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}

    \{B54F3742-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}

    \{B54F3743-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}

    I removed the entries in HKCU. Run the error code again. (Mine = .msi)

    This information is redundant. Gokul T response (upstairs) was correct. It does not sink into my head when I read it. But this thread was open the door to the solution for me.

    Thank you...

    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium Service pack 2 32 bit
    I use Mcafee and installed and after reading just down to you ensure that I uninstalled and ran the cleaner program suggested and she has still not work, I reinstalled and not yet did not work so I've currently uninstalled again and the vacuum again 3 times
    I ran all the advice from the command prompt still does not work

    I know, a wireless device can cause damaged screen saver. If so, please change another available cable device.

    By default, the settings are different from different screensavers. Some screensavers have these options to be set in the window of the screen saver, as the text the screen saver, 3D Screensaver pictures, popular screensaver and screensaver of Windows Live Photo Gallery. Some screen savers have no options to set in the window of the screen saver, such as screen saver Aurora, the white screensaver, the screensaver bubbles, Mystify, ribbons screen saver screen saver and Windows Logo screen saver. However, if you want to change these settings for screen savers, you can customize them through the registry instead.

    To resolve this problem, I would propose the following suggestions.

    Method 1: Try to scanner auditor of file system (CFS) on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    Well, I have Windows Vista 64-bit, and whenever I try to download something I get the same error.

    With some googling, ive come to learn that it is commonly called "Error 1606" or the "APPDATA". In fact, some of my registry files are bad... God knows why considereing I just bought this new dell laptop for $2,000 that has NEVER been messed with. -.-

    I just want to know how to solve this problem. Im a fool when it comes to computers. I bought this laptop because I assumed (silly me) that there is no error.

    I DO NOT trust me with the editing of registry files, I know for a fact im going to ruin somewhere and permanantley ruin my computer. I personally fins it completely ridiculous that I would even edit registry files to download anything. seriously, it's stupid.

    Is there a program I can download that USUALLY give me spyware virus ro to resolve this problem? Please help me! If this isn't the case, who can go to in order to solve this problem?

    Well, I can have it fixed. I ran regedit and followed this path: 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders " then I destroyed much of the appdata read"% USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming ".
