Parental controls stopped opening in Windows Vista
Parental controls are still working on the account of my children; However, when I'm in my (Administrator) account and click on the Parental control, either from the shortcut or the Control Panel, it suddenly stopped opening anything. I searched the hard drive for the file and it seems to always be there. KLexington

Original title: extended attributes
I started getting the following errors with various programs "extended attributes are incompatible" and "Consent UI has stopped working". I tried to do a system restore but get error inconsistent attributes for 'rstrui.exe '. I also had the message to ShellExecuteEX.exe when you try to install an application and even trying to download the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor. Just to check, I tried to run msconfig from the start and even gives me the message attributes. I am running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2 installed. Advice please. Thank you, Roger P

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model

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

each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install

SE error windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working on Windows Vista
Original title: (Rundll32)
Need help fixing this problem microsoft windows popup message, process host windows (Rundll32) has stopped working.
Hello
1. When you get this error message?
2. were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?
Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.
Step 1: safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Step 2: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts
Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
Hope this information helps. -

HIDData.exe has stopped working in Windows Vista SP2
I am running Windows Vista w/SP2 on a Compaq CQ70 w/an Intel T3200 2.0 ghz processor. I recently installed a USB Bluetooth device. I get the error "HIDData.exe stopped working" reported before with a USB Bluetooth mouse. Every avenue, I used to try to find a solution show KB941600 cumulative update installation. However, when I started to install the update, I learned that it is applied to a different operating system than the one on my computer. I guess that's because it applies to Windows Vista without SP2 installed. Is there a way to solve this problem for the updated Vista version?
Hi IXOYE4Us,

? Photoshop elements 8 Organizer does not open on Windows Vista?
I installed Photoshop Elements 8 on a Windows Vista computer and saved. The organizer has opened with thumbnails broken throughout and I couldn't update the thumbnails. So, I closed the organizer and opened it again, hoping it would clear up. Instead, the organizer would not open at all, and I was not able to open the organizer since.
Despite several requests for Support, Technical Support could not help. They said to uninstall components and reinstall, but when I uninstalled it, the screen of the software disk says I must first disable my serial no throwing items 8 and will help > deactivate.
However, when I launched 8 elements, a screen will appear with a choice of either a free trial or to enter my serial number. I have entered my serial number and got a red 'X', and it would not accept the serial number. Technical support says that there is nothing wrong with my serial No.
Technical support then said to download the Evaluation Version. I did it, but could not open the trial either!
Message:
"The files currently in use. Some issues that needed to be updated are currently in use. »
"The following applications use files that ORT should be updated by this Setup.
Close these applications and click Retry to continue.
Organizer - Photoshop Elements.
So he thinks my organizer is open and using files, and it is not open. I can not open!
I clicked on try AGAIN and got the same message.
I clicked IGNORE and it was installing files, arrived almost at the end, said 'product registration', then said "roll back the action" and started to go backwards.
I had uninstalled my Elements 7 software because I intend to use now 8 elements. I decided to reinstall 7 elements to use while I was dinking autour with version 8 and now it gave me the same message:
the serial number is an error, or is already in use by someone else!
Now I can't use either 7 or 8.
Help! Does anyone know how to disable a serial No., when the software has already been uninstalled? Can it be done?
Hello
The error message that you've shared below will come where say for some reason any Organizer.exe is still running in the Task Manager and you try to install the PES.
If installation is back up to the end, then delete the cache.db which is located at the following location and try to install again. This step has fixed the problem for many users.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db
Also, before trying to install PES 8 new, delete the files in the folder folder and then try again to install. Since then, the serial number is already checked as correct, that you shouldn't be running on these issues. If you are still not able to move forward after following instructions above, then please reply back and we can connect through internet session and I can try to look into your machine and see what all I can help you.
Kind regards
