    Hello

    tpsmain.exe is a process associated with Toshiba laptops. He manages the power save function to ensure that the system goes to a power saving mode when it is not used.
    I would recommend to eliminate energy saver completely from the BONE by using Add and remove the option programs in the control panel. Then try again to install this Toshiba utility again. You can use this software to the tools & utility Cd or you will check the download page to Toshiba for latest updates

  • Error: mmc.exe - Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because apphelp.dll was not found.

    A window titled "mmc.exe - Unable to locate component" in the title bar, which includes the message:

    "This application has failed to start because apphelp.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. »

  • Lsass.exe - Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because the oleaut32.dll file not found

    Original title: oleaut32.dll xp

    My system XP pro/sp3 does not start normally, without danger or with the original sys disk. I get a message
    Isass.exe - Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because the oleaut32.dll file not found. reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
    However, I can't in the operating system to do a re-install.
    Any suggestions?

    If c:\windows\system32\oleaut32.dll is missing, you will see messages like this:

    Lsass.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because the OLEAUT32.dll file not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    If the missing file is the only problem, you might have to do a reinstall to fix.

    There should be a copy of Oleaut32.dll in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache folder, so if you can get in the XP Recovery Console, you can just replace it - then you are going to have to start on something to do.

    Once started in the XP Recovery Console, you must enter this command at the prompt:

    Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\oleaut32.dll c:\windows\system32

    If the file is not in the dllcache folder (it should really be), depending on your installation, this command can work:

    Copy c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\oleaut32.dll c:\windows\system32

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace any existing file.

    I don't know what the Microsoft Support Engineer think that KB307545 or KB922371 will help you.  I think that the MSE is just throw a few things to try and some links.  You don't describe symptoms consistent with the need to use one of these methods.   I would say the MSE has never seen this problem before, made no attempt to reproduce the problem, and has no idea how to fix this.

    If your CD does not start in the Recovery Console, or if you don't know what kind of CD do you have to do a CD of XP Recovery Console and boot on it (no media XP required).

    Here's how:

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    After replacing the file, remove the CD and type 'exit' to leave the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
