You can also run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that your computer is virus-free.

  • Clean the computer and now there is a missing file...

    We had a computer with no space on the disk, so we uninstalled programs

    (the right way: with the control panel of Windows itself).

    Now, whenever we start the computer, an error message is displayed:

    "There is a problem when starting C:\PROGRA~2\B5A8FEF3.cpp

    Cannot find the module. »

    Is it possible to find which program generates this error message?

    We have uninstalled all applications are:

    SketchUp 7 & 8

    Google earth

    Last vestige

    Ravensword

    Zapper

    Pando media booster

    Silverlight

    Codec K-light Pack

    But none of them has been started with the computer. (except perhaps Pando).

    Our thinking is that an uninstall program did remove a file that is used by another program.

    So is it possible to track down the program that generates this message?

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    However, after some time, we found it.

    As we cleaned this computer, we have been a Troyan horse. Our Virus Scanner that delete, but remained a startup item in the start/start menu. And because the Virus has been removed, this link couldn't find that program and produces this error each time the computer starts.

    Remove the link in start start solved :)

I have limited computer experience, so I don't really know how to approach this problem. I tried the suggestions of help page, IE, reboot with the modules disabled without success. Please help an older person! I used Foxfire successfully on another machine. Thanks Jim

    If you have problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

    Like that you also preserve any sort you did in Internet Explorer with favorites.

    • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML: file > import and export
    • Import the HTML file in Firefox: bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import HTML: from a file

    Hi - are you getting it at the beginning of installation, during or after 100% progression ended?

    Is it fair to LabVIEW you install, or is it drivers too, in this case, what was the last big package that has been installed at the time?

    This can be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver:
