ole32.dll in Windows Explorer error message...

Hello all!

My PC has developed a problem recently in that whenever I try to open Windows Explorer, it crashes and displays the following message:

"Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."

The detailed text of the error message is the following:

AppName: explorer.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512
ModName: ole32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512
Offset: 00020645

I tried searching everywhere on the Net and have not been able to find a solution to this problem. Any help on how to fix this problem without having to reinstall Windows XP would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

See you soon,.

Kevin

P.S. I'm on Windows XP Pro with all the service packs and updates.

You will find a copy of ole32.dll in the I386 folder on your XP disc - however, it is in a compressed State & I don't know how you unpack & install - except if you do repair your Windows installation, boot from the XP CD.

To do this, go into the BIOS of your pc and change the boot priority so that the pc boot on the CD/DVD first. Then, you insert your XP CD and restart your pc.

After that installation of Windows will load the drivers of material it is a list of the 3 options. If you press ENTER, the Setup will search for your existing XP installation.
When he finds it, make sure it is highlighted and press R to begin the repair.
The repair is essentially an express installation of XP.

An alternative, if your original installation was Service Pack 2, is to look in the \Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder, because there should be a copy the ole32.dll in SP3 version.

    I have read other discussions here and tried to run the System File Checker - all that happens is a black window opens for a millisecond and closed.

    I have a lot of questions, but these are my point I suppose to jump.  Thanks in advance :)


    Your system is currently or has been infected by malware.

    I suggest read you this procedure and do the 2 scans of malware down first, then start at the beginning.

    I read you already ran MBAM and SAS, but make sure that you have run the MBAM and SAS with updated definitions.

    The System File Checker will not help you.  If you want the run later for smile and a good feeling, we can work on that later.

    It is easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem simply remove the startup message.
    I would recommend also you start to search in the register, unless you have a backup because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom, but may not actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira
    !, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.
    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can use Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry
    .  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that you had or have an infection, followed with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

    Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Start Windows XP error message: "error loading C:\WINDOWS\INODEN.dll".

    original title: Windows XP error message at startup

    When you start Windows XP, I get the error message

    "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\INODEN.dll

    How can I fix this to avoid dll error message that it appearing?

    the dll is likely because there is a start-up or a service that always calls for her but this dll is no longer on disk.

    You must understand, what parent program has this dll to the child.

    Locate the parent service and or start parent program via msconfig, then turn it off.

    as to why the dll could not be found - it might have been zapped by your anti viral or you have uninstalled a poorly written program and he left an entry of orhpaned inland startup Control Panel, for example msconfig.   (by the way, may have orphaned registry keys too.  but that's another issue)

    in any case, to review entries in msconfig, click on start > run > msconfig

    before changing the msconfig, first mark a restore that can help point to reverse all the mistakes you made by accident.

    If you have not had luck in iTunes (https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows?view=discussions#/?tagSet=1234) forum, uninstall and reinstall iTunes as described below:

    To perform a "clean" iTunes installation uses this technique proposed, from Support of Apple HT1926 article.  (If you are using Vista, see THIS instead).

    Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
    Remove these applications in the following order (do not restart your computer if you are prompted during this process):

    1 iTunes
    2. Apple Software Update
    3. Apple Mobile Device Support
    4 Hello
    5 Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)

    6. iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)

    7. iPod Updater

    8 QuickTime

    Open my computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete these files (if present)
    1 iPod
    2 iTunes
    3 QuickTime

    Follow these steps if the message "cannot delete iPodService.exe: it is used by another person or program" appears when you try to delete the folder of the iPod.

    1. Make sure that you have iTunes and iPod Update utility are not open.
    2. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
    3. Select Start Task Manager.
    4. Click the processes tab.
    5. Locate the iPodService.exe in the list.
    6. IPodService.exe-click and choose end process.
    7. Quit Task Manager.

    Empty your temp directory:
    Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

    If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
    Tools > Folder Options > view tab
    Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

    Once this file is empty, restart the computer

    NOTE: If you have trouble uninstalling applications, or if you have a problem, reinstall iTunes because the installer complains that it can not uninstall the current version of iTunes, see the 'Installation issues' section below.

    Download & reinstall iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

    Installation problems

    There are several tools to deal with problems installing or uninstalling applications.  If you have these problems, the following should help.  Before using one of these tools (including #3), you must create a restore point from the system first (or back up the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT).  See http://windowsxp.mvps.org/registry.htm a complete disk image would be safer if you have this ability.

    1 Microsoft has a program install and the resolution of the problems of the uninstalling which is supposed to "work better" and be "safer" to use the old Install Cleanup Utility (3 below).

    2. free Revo Uninstaller.  You can also download a trial version of uninstaller Revo's ' Pro', which has a few more aggressive cleaning options, but this should not be necessary.

    3 Microsoft Windows Install Cleanup Utility.  Although this tool has been the preferred tool to deal with the problems of Windows Installer, Microsoft removed from Microsoft download servers because it seems sometimes deleted more than he was supposed to (I believe this was linked to Office uninstall).  You can still get Windows Installer Cleanup here--> http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html utility

  • KB954430 continues to appear in Windows Update, Error Message for lack of Log File during manual re - install

    I followed several other discussions about the inability to install this update, but I succumbed.

    My problem started when I did a system restore to solve a problem with a newly installed program.

    Under update history, windows update is of the opinion that this update has been successfully installed several times.

    The 954430.log log file is not present in my windows directory.

    The update is not present in the list of installed updates.

    I moved msxml4.dll and msxml4r.dll in the system32 directory.  When I try to reinstall KB954430 manually, the following error message is received: "error opening installation log file.  Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable. »

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks for the attempt to help Umesh P.  Went before your answer.
    Something I've done has solved the problem, if I'm not 100% of the exact solution.

    So, I found some of these random number files that contains kb954430 log files in the home directory of my swap file partition.  I deleted these.

    I tried to reinstall manually, it still gave me the same "log file" error as described in my post above.  Then, I tried to install it via the automatic update service.  Then, he stated that the update was not necessary.  The update kept bugging me on this subject, but finally, after a reboot or two, I noticed he had stopped to ask.
    My computer seems to work now, as far as I know, although I do not have the patch installed in my list of updates, and the msxml dll never came back.  Is there a chance that the patch was never installed and he abandoned?

    This indicates to me that it is a problem with Quicktime.  But with the problem without access to office programs and Windows Explorer I can't uninstall it.  I can access the control Alt Delete Task Manager and open a number of things with the file as Regedit menu but no third-party program.  No way at the moment so I uninstall Quicktime.  An another quark which comes from what I saw on the internet that the Appwiz.cpl file is supposed to open programs and features to uninstall, but I don't have that on my computer or on one of two external hard drives that I use for backups.  What is the correct file to use?  If so, I wonder why it is not in my Windows folder, and why programs and features worked before without this file?
    Also, I tried 4 different restore points but that did not help either, and repair the boot and repair of windows.  And can not access to Cmd.exe.
    So would be grateful if someone could, initially, index me on the file suitable for we hope to open programs and features.  Also maybe the files to open the Start Menu folder and file to open the control panel.  And maybe another idea about this problem.  I could delete files QuickTime in Regedit?
    Programs running in the background if they are started by themselves, otherwise I have no control.  Can go on the internet with the hyperlink at the bottom of the error message.
    Thanks for any help.

    My computer has been started with a full desktop but immediately got the error windows explore hanging everything up.  Starts in safe mode with the same results.

    Finally solved my problem, however.  As mentioned in my original post, I could open through Control Alt Delete Task Manager and using the menu option file could open Regedit.  Also, I could open a browser with hyperlink at the bottom of the error message.  And perhaps could have downloaded programs to help, except once downloaded, I would have no way to open and run with unavailable office.  But in the end, I deleted all entries in Quicktime using the search function.  Took about 4 hours. but when I am the way, the way down on the list when I deleted an entry Windows came into Shut Down mode.  And, Viola, after reboot everything was normal again based on the last restore point, that I had used.
    Then, I finished uninstalling Quicktime with Revo Uninstaller.
    I understand that some people out there are uncomfortable to play with the registry, but I did for many years, since 98, so for me it was no problem, so everyone is very careful and has a good understanding and concept of what they are doing.  I think it is the only solution to a problem like this with the exception of reinstaling Windows.  For me, it's a far last option.  And then if someone mess up the registry, they would have to reinstall anyway.
    For anyone else read this and maybe one of the technicians can expand on this, you could possibly use a Ubunto Live Linnux DVD to open the user? file to edit the registry in this way, too.  Don't know if it works or not.  But too bad it does not a type program MS-DOS out there who would do something like this easier.  There may be but I don't see one.  And as I mentioned in the first post, repair, restoration and other repair startup options did not work.  As a suggestion, perhaps a repair feature that can capture error information, analyze the registry and fix it with the minimum participation of the user.
    I write all this with other users in mind that will go looking for clues and find help very few experts who give you generic, non-specific responses.
