Event Viewer error "there was an error while trying to read the local hosts file." file "hosts" but good

Hello

In Event Viewer, I see a lot of mistakes like:

Source: The customers DNS events

There was an error trying to read the local hosts file.

I read that threat indicating to rename the hosts for "hosts" file

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-networking/system-log-shows-repeating-error-code-3221225485/3700e855-ded4-4F12-960f-1577f6132c04

HOWEVER, the name of the file in my computer appears as it should

C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc / "hosts".

and the content of the file is as it is supposed to be according to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034

What should I do to fix this error?

P.S. I suspect my computer is compromised. Last weekend, Security Essentials has reported a malicious file backdoor and it has been deleted, but I have a weird behavior of the computer

Thank you

Veronica

Try to re-create the hosts file.

Open Notepad as administrator (click right on the Notepad icon or shortcut and click Run as admin) and type the following information in it:

127.0.0.1 localhost

: 1 localhost

The '1' in the '127.0.0.1' must be in the first column of the line and there must be at least one space between "127.0.0.1" and "localhost". In the second line, there must be at least one space between ": 1" and "localhost".

Save the file with name "hosts" in the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder.

    Impossible to clean deleted files:

    The specified virtual disk needs to be repaired.

    It's the performance of FreeBSD. The server has no harm actually run but gets big enough and I would like to clean it up a bit. Any suggestions?

    Firstly it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway...  Always back up all of the Virtual Machine with the Virtual Machine within the OS, not suspended, and Fusion to stop closed before trying to make repairs on a virtual hard disk.

    This may not work if it's the basic disk that needs to be repaired and the Virtual Machine has snapshots, but I go through it.  You can try to use "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-vdiskmanager ' with the '-r' option.  Note: If the basic disk do not while snapshots are at stake, because it will cause more problems so my suggestion is first try to create a new basic without snapshots disk using the information below (see another option).

    Also one of the reasons to delete a snapshot may fail if there is no adequate free disk space for the operation ends so make sure you have a lot of free disk space.

    Another option would be to create a new basic disk, and then use dd by using an Image of CD/DVD/ISO Linux Live in the image of the old drive so written delta in snapshots to a new basic disk.

    I like to use the ISO Image of KNOPPIX_V5.1.1CD - 2007-01-04 - IN .iso to start the Virtual Machine and use dd to leave because it works well with VMware SCSI virtual hard disks.

    Also in Fusion 2.x, configuration the target Virtual Machine's .vmx file must be changed manually to have the present following parameters when using Knoppix.

    usb:0.deviceType = "mouse"
    usb:0.present = "FALSE"
    mouse.vusb.enable = "FALSE"
    

    Note: The first two parameters may already exist but if the other exists and is set to true, then set it to FALSE and the third are probably already so just add it.

  • BlackBerry smartphones "an error occurred trying to read the media.» (Videos/YouTube) (WiFi)

    Hello

    I have a Storm 2, YouTube and videos work fine and dandy, and then yesterday suddenly YouTube stopped working. I would like to click on a video, he strives to buffer for 30 seconds, then said "an error occurred trying to read the media.» I tried to do the thing optimization YouTube, check again. I thought that maybe it wasn't the internet bad connection, since we were our friends, but he came home today, same thing happens.

    Also today I tried to record a video, and when I finished recording and tried to play, same error. I have connected my BB to my PC and played, played very well. The video is in 3GP format.

    The storm 2 is from Verizon, but it is unlocked and I am with Bell. I have not given or the internet with bell is throughout the WiFi.

    Halp meh please.

    Still, first, reboot the device...

    With the BlackBerry powereddevice, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this way is prescirbed for most the gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    Now, try again your video playback.

  • Error while trying to initialize the session of material

    I get an error when you try to initialize a session of material so that I can control my cards PXI-4110.  I've attached a screenshot of the code that I am running with the error message that appears.  I used this code before on a separate system yet identical and received no error.  I'm trying to deploy this code on a real-time system running Pharlap or whatever it's called now.  The real-time system is hung across a MXI map in a PXI chassis containing power cards.  I'm under LabVIEW 2012.

    Here's how to use the Vista startup repair disk. is NOT a Vista reinstall disk.

    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.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. 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.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

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

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

    How to reinstall Vista:

    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.

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

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

    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.

    And here's my content created by JDeveloper jca file:

  • A network error occurred trying to read the file c: WINDOWS\Installer\iTunes.msi

    I'm not able to go to iTunes or watch videos on my program Corel due to an error in Quick Time. It keeps telling me that I need to improve my Quick time and when I tried it wouldn't let me so I tried to remove it and couldn't because of an error and then I came here to get the Windows Cleanup utility and who eventually removed the program out of my control panel and I thought that would fix it but it didn't and now it gives me this message. What should I do now?

    Ok!
    This problem occurs in all applications in all environments such as Windows XP, Amiga and Windows 7. I have only my current computer with Windows 7 64 bit related to the problem. After following suggestions to cure the problem without success, I read the error message that displayed the MSI being read in C:\Windows\Installer. There is no such MSI placed in this directory. SO to solve the problem, you must put some Apple msi installation which gives the error message in the C:\Windows\Installer directory. Just drag it directly into the directory. Do not use any subdirectory. If your don't have a copy of the MSI, you can extract it from the EXE installer with a program like WinRar. My problem was with iTunes to bleed the system looked like this C:\Windows\Installer\iTunes64.msi. Run the MSI file or the original from Apple download. It worked for me as expected if you give it a try.

    Thank you very much I understand your concern.

    Hi Mr.Als,

    -Did you check if the SD card works fine on another computer?

    This problem may occur if the card is damaged. I suggest you run the check disk utility and see if that fixes the problem.

    Run audit on the SD disk utility.

    1. In the start screen, type: CMD, right click command prompt, and then click run as administrator.
    2. At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r
    3. Exit the command prompt.

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    You can also try to unlock the switch and see if it helps.

    Look for the lock switch on the upper left side of the SD card. Lock switch may be a small white or silver tab jutting from the left side of the SD card.
