gpedit.msc won't work; "not responding".

Well, I was originally a problem changing my background image, because it would change to black... so, I found this... http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-desktop/cant-change-desktop-background-on-windows-8-pro/c0469b41-5c57-4a1b-8ad5-6d37e4f05d83...

Everything seems to be problem after problem with windows 8.

I have one account on my computer and I am the administrator.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello

The question of GPEdit.msc is essentially identical to an Explorer hanging issue (similar fix).
So, use the following methods. If you still have specific GPEdit help check with Experts of

  • Taskmgr.exe does not work. error when you run gpedit.msc: "one or more activex controls could not be displayed either...". "- old deleted restore points.

    Dear all, Hello, hope you are doing well.


    My thinkpad t42 machine with xp sp3 OEM has a problem, unfortunately.

    Task Manager is not running.  A small timer appears when ctrl + alt + delete is pressed. nothing happens.  Taskmgr.exe fact exists in the system folder.  This has been verified.  The same thing happens when you try to start the program via a double-click; nothing.

    When checking to see that the Task Manager was not blocked under the administrator account, there was an error in the gpedit.msc program - namely:

    internet Explorer: "(one or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either (1) your current internet security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or 2) you blocked an editor of one of the controls." As a result this page may not display correctly. "It is a double popup as well.  When you press ok, the same error message box appears again.  Reset all settings of security of IE8.  Made no difference.

    the same error message is produced with the software lenovo "thinkpad update" - once again in the framework-



    Someone (not me) downloaded a program called "personal internet security ' on the machine and also a"registry fix"program that has an icon of similar colors to the windows logo icon, but the colors were reversed (the name of it escapes me) - these programs pourrait the root of the problems and why the machine does well.

    To solve; First, Avast has been run on boot to the top, and about 8 programs have been removed.  (Some of these programs may have been dependent on or related to another...)

    Then, microsoft's free antivirus has been downloaded - but - it wouldn't install, giving a general error.  The same error was given, for Microsoft security program, when Avast was uninstalled.

    A Microsoft security scan is run from the Web site then, and he says that the computer is virus free, even if it has changed some previous registry changes.

    To fix the Task Manager, difficulty in registration of Microsoft was found to be proposed here -http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907343 - but then there was a '0' already in the field.

    Having become frustrated with all hacking around records etc, it was decided to go to an older Restore Point.  The last of them visible was in December, and it would not actually go to these old restore points.  The error said: Please try a different restore point.  Having received updates xp at the same time to that, these restore Points have unfortunately disappeared and no restore points exist where the system is stable.

    If someone like me that the machine still has something?

    If someone could suggest a solution for me that would be great and would really make my life less busy in trying to solve this problem - my area of expertese is certainly not it if someone could help me it would be very much appreciated...

    Sincerely,

    D

    The process of deletion for Personal Internet Security 2011 is well documented.

    It is not some ' try it or try things "and see if it works the kind of process.

    You won't fix with Avast, and a large number of malware just laugh at all Microsoft malware detection and removal products.  There is little to fear Microsoft analysis tools.  I can get my system on purpose infected two dozen ways and Microsoft will tell me that there is no problem.

    Removal and detection of malicious software is not Microsoft expertise area.  There are businesses where malware detection and removal, it is their area of expertise, and that's all they do throughout the day, so you better stick with them for the easy stuff.

    You will not fix your system and try things or any amount of piracy.  It will fix you knowing what you're doing and using methods that other people have already understood by the practice and the real real world situations.

    If you want to remove it and do not have to reinstall your XP, you should consider going to a forum where malware removal experts hang out.  You know... people who really know how to actually remove the stuff and did it successfully.

    This means that people have got their systems infected by the malware on goal several times and practical detached until they understand the malware and how it works well enough to write a removal procedure.  They did try them all things for you.

    You can mess around with other things to try that perhaps sometimes could work, or you can follow the procedure who already figured that will work all the time.

    If you faithfully follow the removal instructions and you still have questions, there is link at the bottom of the instructions for further help.  Although everything that has already happened or attempted to apply may have complicated your situation beyond the reasonable expectations of repair.

    Here is the link with the instructions to get started:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-personal-Internet-Security-2011

    It's my contention that, once your system gets afflicted by malware of this magnitude, you should not trust any of current Restore Point.  When finished remove malicious software, all your Restore Points are not trustworthy and you must knock out all and start over with new Restore Points.

    If you want to get your task manager will, navigate to c:\windows\system32 and make a taskmgr.exe and call the copy something like jose.exe.

    Then you will be able to launch jose.exe (double click), and the Task Manager opens.  The malware will not allow taskmgr.exe to be a running process, because he knows that's what you use to try to remove it.  So far, malware knows no jose.exe (this may change).

    You will probably like Process Explorer better when even when you get the hang of it, but you can get your task manager go.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • Firefox is already running but is not responding? Simple answers don't seem to work

    I started Firefox earlier today and received a message about a problem with Firefox and he had to be reset. Because the other option seemed worse than the reset, and Firefox Reseting seemed relatively painless, I clicked OK. A short message popped up on the registration of passwords, bookmarks, etc. with success. Then a small window pops up, saying it was cleaning of Firefox. While the process seemed to freeze. I liquidated it, killed at any process of firefox running and attempted to restart Firefox, when I received the message "Firefox is already running, but does not." There is a folder on my desktop labeled 'old Firefox data' which I assume is from Firefox reset (it is also now a copy of the profile on my desk, just in case).

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox-already-running-not-responding

    I found this and tried to work through it, but it doesn't seem to help.

    (1) Ther' are no Firefox.exe in my task manager, nor is there a process plugin-container.

    (2) I deleted the file "parent.lock" in both the profile (which is just a bunch of jumbled letters and numbers with 'default' in it) and the record of the old Firefox. However, these files were just "parent.lock" not "parent.lock.parentlock".

    (3) did not change the name on it, so unless the reset did before she locked herself, I don't know what to change it to.

    (4) it is not a file share, so...

    (5) this could be a possibility. The folder of Firefox that my profile is 'Read only' is, but I can't not to change cela. Everytime I go in, turn off the 'Read only' option and tell him to propagate the change through subfolders, it seems to work, but when I check the properties 10 seconds later, 'Read Only' is checked again.

    Sounds that the profiles.ini was corrupted when you remove the old default profile and adding the new profile.

    You can have security software that preventing to change the Firefox file.

    You use the Profile Manager to restore an existing profile or create a new profile.

    A "Reset" creates a new default profile with a timestamp attached and is trying to import some settings of the old profile, leaving the old profile intact, including the (invalid) cache folder (topic: cache) can take up to 1 GB.

    Versions of Firefox 15 + will move the old profile folder "old Firefox Data-#" folder on the desktop that gets a figure if you use reset several times, so you can no longer use the Profile Manager to return to the old profile.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 GB: my modem does not work - remote computer is not responding

    My A200 - 1 GB modem does not work correctly. It tries to connect, but at last he said computer remote does not respond. As I noticed it has a modem 56kpbs of "I agree."
    It is shown as Toshiba Software Modem.

    I tried so many times it does not work properly.
    I tried changing the COM ports assigned to several other ports like COM1, COM10 COM, COM 4 ext... same thing happens.

    When I diagnose the modem via the properties of the modem without issues considered.
    Even when I'm component via the modem to a telephone line (I mean as a call) it works fine.
    I mean that he can call on a mobile phone or phone of the Earth.

    A few times he suddnely connects but connected sppedis 24kpbs.

    But the same phone line works correctly with my modem office both as the same as another modem from the laptop.

    It seems that there is a fault on my modem 56 k.
    I tried even uninstall and reinstall, but the issue still exists.

    Can someone help me in this case?

    Hello

    I don t think that the modem would be malfunctions.
    Fact is that if you use the wrong modem configuration, the line may be busy and the modem would not answer.

    I recommend you configure the modem again.
    In programs-> Toshiba-> Networking, you would find the Modem region Select utility that must be configured for the same country.
    Delete the existing profile and create a new!
