Msconfig does, nor does Regedit.exe

There are some programs that I wanted to close to trying to make my cpu run a little faster. I looked up on how to do it and he said: get a Uniblue scan and figure on what programs you need and don't. So I did (I haven't already bought Uniblue so no problems there) and I tried to open msconfig

Well, when I did, the msconfig requested permission but as soon as I clicked on OK nothing happens. I tried a few times more, and nothing happened again.
I don't remember what I did some time ago but I tried opening regedit.exe and when I do, it opens and then closes before I can do anything.
I tried looking for answers and all I get is that it can be a virus. I have avast and it catch anything (it constantly updates itself and I scanned EAT)
What's wrong? How can I solve this problem?
TaskManager works very well...
Help, please!

Hello

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
strange problems). All others NEVER in addition to Avast? (I use Avast as well).

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

  • Regedit.exe is blocked at startup

    Dear Forum guys,

    Whenever I start my computer regedit.exe is stuck at the start even if it is enabled at startup in windows defender. Therefore, it is very annoying when I have to enable it manually whenever I log on windows. Any help would be appreciated. It started happening when I installed a norton internet security and the computer went through the Startup Repair and now it is doing it since then.

    Rather than a problem running regedit, I guess that there are permissions that lack in the exact registry key you are trying to write with a reg file at startup.

    For example, the startup command might look like this:

    Regedit /s "C:\myfolder\myreg.reg".

    Myreg.reg, there would be some key location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version / Council

    Open this key in regedit, you could go to the Edit menu and see the entry permissions, add your username to the list.

    If, on the other hand, it opens only regedit you want without the UAC prompt, create a new shortcut in the startup folder and right click for the properties and put a check the box for "run as Administrator" (shortcut tab, Advanced button)

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
    You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
    I hope this helps.  Good luck.
  • I can't open any .exe (including regedit.exe) file - if I try to open any program, I gives me an error that the application is not found.

    I had a virus on my PC and used Malwarebytes to remove it.  The deletion was successful, but he seems to have created this new problem.  I don't know if it is directly related to the kidnapping, or whether the virus changed anything while he was active?

    Your ".exe" file association is probably damaged.

  • How to fix regedit.exe

    I'd rather solve a problem. When I open the Control Panel, RegEdit icon is there, but when I want to open it, nothing happens. It's like there is no such thing as regedit.exe. I tried to search, but nothing seems to appear. What bothers me because my computer seems to lag a lot due to registry containing a lot of keys and other programs which have been removed a long time ago. And I can't access registry to resolve the problem.

    Use the Windows search (start, search) to see if you can find a copy of regedit.exe on your system.

    Depending on your installation, are likely to find a copy:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If you find one, copy it and then paste them in the folder where it belongs:

    c:\Windows

    (is the regedit.exe file not in the system32 folder...)

    There is in fact a little extra effort to regedit.exe to lack since it is one of 3498 files covered by the Windows File Protection, but you said the word "AVG" and I saw AVG quarantine (effectively delete) critical XP system files.

    If you can't find one, I will download one on my SkyDrive and you can download it and put it in the c:\windows\system32 folder.

    Oops - I am running SP3, but I can check and see if the SP2 version is different (inconu!) and you're a regedit.exe SP2 if you can not find one on your system.

    You will probably have to download and reinstall your software Realtek the Realtek WWW site (it is not a Microsoft product).

  • Msconfig does not

    Hello. I have a Dell Dimension PC with Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 3 and I'm having a serious problem with msconfig. It does not start when typed in run in Normal mode, but it works in safe mode and that she already had a motherboard problem that had to be fixed. Now, the memory make it worse and I don't know what to do about this, please help.

    You used the words 'bad'... acceleration, tuneup, booster... Where my questions about these adjectives in particular.

    Now, I have to add Eraser and Muncher to my list "Have you now or ever used..." ».

    I guess when you start using safe, these applications do not load anything that they load in Normal mode, so your msconfig works in Mode safe (because these applications are not loaded).

    Msconfig works in Mode safe, I would say that there is nothing wrong with msconfig, but something that loads in a Normal trunk prevents msconfig from start - maybe because these other programs don't want you to use msconfig.

    You could start safe mode, use msconfig, disable these additional programs, one at a time, restart normally, try msconfig and then you can find the program that when loading, prevents msconfig to run in Normal mode.

    I don't think I'll be installing those Articles myself to do the test for you, but someone might know more about them or have other ideas.

  • Why does VSSVC.exe run every day?

    Out & about once every few days VSSVC.exe & TrustedInstaller.exe will start running. It usually takes only 30-50% of my CPU unless I'm doing something else at the same time. As a result, I find generally that, under 'System Restore', a new restore point has been created. I also found what is VSSVC.exe & that this probably meant that my computer had a 'system' update & so was do a restore point for that. I'm assuming that "System updates" are different from "Windows Updates" since I was those value only notify & never automatically download or install. In addition, I did have a "Windows Update" in a few days which also proves that it is something different. A few minutes ago VSSVC.exe started running again with TrustedInstaller.exe & took a few minutes to finish as usual. However, while they inspected "System Restore" I found that the last created restore point was about 3 days ago, even though these two process turned a few minutes ago. So now, I have a few questions I need to answer.

    1: What are the "system updates"?

    2: If in fact they are the same that "Windows Updates" that are normally downloaded & installed, why am I not notified of them in advance?

    3: can I plan "system updates"?

    4: can I plan when the System Restore Points that are created from VSSVC.exe?

    5: If all my current assumptions are bad, what in fact is happening really?

    On a final note, I should mention that I have indeed update my Microsoft Security Essentials every day. Although VSSVC.exe is not following this model is why this whole situation left me speechless. I perform analyses of viruses once a week who are always clean, apart from the question I mentioned that my computer runs great.

    As mentioned it is part of the snapshot service that is used by restoring the system as well as protection of system files and the "previous file" feature.

    Restore points are created automatically when changes to the system.
