Missing msconfig in Windows 8 after the clean boot; No app/search results
I have a HP Pavilion Windows 8 running. I booted safe mode and did a clean boot to try to correct the error 'Failed to connect to a Windows Service' that I had received at startup. After you disable programs in MSConfig, I restarted in normal mode. I did not receive the error message "Unable to connect" and went to restore my settings after the cleanup starts, but is no longer to access or find MSConfig. If I search for it, there is simply no result. This happens both in Mode safe and in my normal desktop. Does anyone have advice?
Thank you.
Hi Paige,
I suggest you to check what is happening when you try the following.
- Press the Windows key + R, to bring the box run. Type msconfig in the box and press on Enter.
Check what is happening.
- If you are still unable to open the System Configuration window try to open by using the following steps:
Go to the Windows Explorer window by pressing E + Key of Windows. Click the drive where the operating system is installed. Click the Windows folder, click the System 32 folder. Now on the type of search msconfig.exe box check if you can find the same. If so, double click and check if it opens.
Retrieve the required information so that we can help you further.

The following question will fail be displayed in MSConfig
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun]
@= "c:\\users\\steven\\appdata\\local\\temp\\6csjbd5.exe".I came across this, after being attacked by malware. In general, I use MSConfig to disable all startup items when troubleshooting an attack and attempt to regain control of the system. MSConfig lead me to believe I had disabled all startup items, but he fails to show or disable the (default) entry to the registry key above. Indeed, it's an exploitable bug that is currently used by malware developers to hide from end users, armed with MSConfig. As a side note, CCleaner has the same problem. The only solution is to change the value directly using RegEdit (clear).

I can't turn on my firewall either, how can I solve this?
Hello
It helps if you tell us what operating system you are using and what is your Antivirus.
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

This may be the cause of my windows security system be turned off and not able to turn it back on... also cession to change startup not fuctional. Same error message as on security. Is not available. ?
Please help I've tried everything I can think of to... Levi
Hello
One thing you forgot to tell us that's what AntiVirus do you use?
If you are using an Internet Security Suite, which uses its own firewall.
And the Defender is not an Antivirus; It's only an antispyware software.
You need an AntiVirus installed to protect your system.

You say that you have a problem with the Defender.

Cannot update windows 7 same on Admin ACC.
I got windows 7 ultimate. I am not able to update on this subject. When I go to start-> windows update-> I get the following message "windows update cannot check for updates because updates on this computer are controlled by your system administrator.
There are 2 accounts on this point, the main administrator aka hidden and myself, both are administrator accounts. I tried the update of the main admin account that also said the same thing.
I also checked msconfig for windows update settings and they seem to be all very well for me, I also search google and bing. But I was not able to fined of good results.
If anyone knows what the problem is or is no fix for it? xdesx
Try to run Windows Update manually again now. I have seen some indications that something was temporarily horked on the end of Microsoft recently & it is now fixed elsewhere. YMMV, of course.
If no joy, you're certainly not 'on the safe side"If the box of Win7 is not fully patched. If this is the case, the computer must not be connected to the internet or networks until it is fully patched. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

Recently the removed Windows defender malware, but I don't want to lose access to the "real MS Defender. Can you offer any suggestions?
Hello
read this information on the Defender:
· If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default
the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender
and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware
It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do
If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable
and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/remove-Windows-Defender-from-Vista-system-startup/
and this is how you would normally activate or disable windows defender in vista from within defenders of own and options tools
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-for-Microsoft-Vista/
and read this information to microsoft:
Error message when you run Windows Defender: «Error 0x800106ba»
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931849
and if you need to change startup programs read this information on the other methods of doing it without using defender
using msconfig read this tutorial;
How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista
Here's how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some unnecessary programs that load automatically at startup
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
and also try this program;
This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services more

Navigate through the folders in Windows Explorer became increasingly slow. Pages take 10 to 30 seconds to refresh. Again right click on an item takes a lot of time answering.
The screen of my computer, which can take up to 2 minutes to load or refresh is particularly bad.
Navigate the file system in applications such as Word and Excel (open, save) is fine and continues to operate quickly. Only Windows Explorer is affected.
This problem develops gradually in recent months. I can't put my finger on a specific event that triggered it.
What's new as of January 18, 2010:
I finally gave up and reconfigured on my computer. The problem disappeared... until I installed Windows XP Home Service Pack 3. Then she came back. So, the next day, I uninstalled SP3, and the problem disappeared again.From the foregoing, I believe that SP3 is the cause of the problem.
Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:
1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance
2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).
5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:
For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspxFor Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.
6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.
7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.
8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

Error message when opening Windows XP
I bought a computer with Windows XP. At the opening, it is an error message:
Windows cannot find ' C:Docume~1\KIRIBI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\{22667~1.EXE.
How can I get rid of this problem?
Thanx. You are right of course, and I may yet. But I was hoping that someone couldopint me the file of the program that is the cause.
Hello
Google has little information about this file, so it's probably a more entered Malware startup left who has been kidnapped by security programs.
Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
If the problem persists after scanning, take these startup entries:

You can also use this free program to do, too:

PS I agree a reinstall is the best option after the purchase of a second hand computer that you don't know what it was used for, or Malware can be installed.
I will not use a credit card or do Internet banking on it in its current state.

Windows XP computer is slow to start and stop.

8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode (IDE only - not applicable for disks SATA drives). It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information -http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10
If the hotfix registry PIO only 'glue' (or you have a SATA drive), the drive is probably faulty and needs to be tested.

Note: If the computer has always been slow, in addition to the above user may have bought a machine with a less powerful processor and not enough RAM (memory). The normal use of the computer, 512 MB to 1 GB is sufficient for XP; Vista should have a minimum of 2 GB; Windows 7 is less demanding than Vista, but the minimum of 2 GB should also be used.

I get a dll error message that says: "the application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\kizinone.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
I went to the system registry to find the file it refers and is not a he. I ran a norton registry cleanup and a virus scan. I did find something online that made reference to this dll file. The message appears at any time that I start a new program. How to fix this, or find the virus that is the cause.
A Google search for "[insert the name of the file]" grown up nothing. When you get no hits for a filename on Google, chances are high that it is a malicious program file. You did not when you get the message. If it's only at startup, either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup. If you get the message during regular time on the computer and not not only at startup, your computer is still infected.
Norton will do the job of cleaning and registry cleaners are garbage who at best will not do anything and the worst risk damage to your Windows installation.
First of all, make sure that the computer is really free of virus/malware through these systematically - General malware removal steps http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware . Then, if the computer is really clean and you still receive the message, manage your Startup to remove the reference to the malware:
Start > run > msconfig [Enter]
This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".
