• Vista Aero stopped working. I ran the resolution of the problems, it says dwm.exe does not work...

  However, it is (sometimes) appears in the list when I open the Task Manager. I tried to do a "clean boot" to see whether the problem lies with another program, nothing happens. What I've read, it may be a registry problem.

  Any help or pointer is welcome.

  See you soon,.

• Strange problem on my Satellite L40-139

  I've been strugling with a problem for a while now, and I don't have a lot of aid assistance. Its like my new Toshiba has a memory problem, but I don't know if its caused by Windows Vista or if its HW related.

  This is what happens:

  When I surfed with IE7 og have 7 tabs open at the same time, his similar windows runs out of memory, all of a sudden I can not open a new tab and do a right click on the touchpad does not react. If I can minimize IE7 and right-click on the desktop nothing product.
  If I then close some programs (his only Yahoo Messenger og coreTemp running (coreTemp shows how hot your cpu and min is constantly between og 56 64 degrees celsius)), then right click works again.

  Usually when that happens, I can't even upward Task Manager, but if I close Yahoo Messenger so that I can, and now I see that it is used about 47% memory, under process I can see that:

  Yahoo uses up to 50MB
  IEXPLORER 27-150MB
  og Dwm.exe takes up to 120 MB.

  The problem also happens if Yahoo is not started, so this isn't the cause.

  I disabled aero and minimal use of all things Vista comes with, then the I me maximum performance following most of the instructions of www.Vistaguide.dk but the problem persists whenever I use IE and use more than 7 tabs (this should not happen, and using more than 7 tabs is perfectly normal).

  In addition to surfing the net, I use it for video playback with VLC or GOM player and music from Winamp. I don't play games.
  Here he is never short of memory.

  His Danish Vista Home Premium and in general I think it runs worse than what Home Basic on 2 GB of ram.

  My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L40-139:

  Intel Celeron M 520 clocked at 1.6 Ghz, 2 GB DDR II 667 Mhz (which fits the model), Toshiba 120 GB HDD S - ata, Atheros Wi - fi, 943GML chipset.
  Comes with Norton Internet security pre-installed.

  I put auto tunning high heat: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglev = high

  It has not solved the problem.

  Basically its like Vista is simply out of memory, but I can see in taskmanager which is not the case since there are only 47% of 2 GB of Ram with a 4096 MB swap file.

  What I don't understand, is that there are other people who have a similair system and they do not have this problem.

  I scanned for viruses and other dirt with Dr Web Cure and it found nothing, neither Norton.

  The things that I think could be causing this is:
  1 Norton Internet Security 2007, which could have a flaw that makes this place.
  2. the CPU is has a 533 Mhz FSB and Ram a 667 Mhz FSB (should be only a problem if the Ram is slower than the CPU). Memtest says they are OK.
  3 Vista has an error which allows to not release the memory again, but it stacks up just up until the error occurs.
  4. the fact that there is a flaw in my CPU or chipset.

  If its 4, the Toshiba has a program so I can test it?

  The problem has been there since I bought one even with th initial Ram inserted.

  I love hearing from Toshiba, which may be the cause/solution for this, and if someone else knows it please let me know, I can't be the only one.

  With greetings

  Jan Johansson

  Hello Jan

  You are not alone with this. You won't believe me, but it happens on my two laptops. I use more Satellite M70 with WXP and Satellite P200D with Vista Home Premium. This strange issue with IE7 arrives on two laptops.

  I know with certainty that at the beginning M70 I didn t notice this problem. As you know anytime a Microsoft automatic update and maybe a few patches is responsible for this. Sorry, but I don't know what we can do. Only solution is to close IE7 and IE7 end process running in Task Manager.

  Just for example: I tested it with Opera browser and there is no problem at all. If you want you can test also.

• Sudden Lagginess / be minced, after a year of no problem

  We thank you for taking a minute of your time and the search/display on my problem. I am in desperate need of fixing this sudden ground being. OK, so I've had my computer for about a year now (get inside) and it handled like a dream. All of a sudden a week there are around every 5/10 min it starts to become very choppy and laggy (takes about 1 1/2 min) after the lagginess disappeared, then it works for about 5/10 minutes and it does again. It happens on all games I have, offline and online. I tried several things after doing some research forum. Some things that I've done so far are updated video card and windows drivers. Uninstall and reinstall most of the games. I also checked the use of process in the Task Manager (the only thing i saw is the dwm process was high, sometimes but not more than 5% of the cpu). I found nothing extraordinary so I clean installed my original image, with formatting the C drive without restoring all my previous files. Also, it does not solve the problem. I also tried to run multiple games in compatibility mode with several different versions of windows and nothing. I'm pretty much with the menu windows and settings, and I'm stumped. Please if you could give me some ideas of what else to check or review I'd be very happy. I'm sorry if this post is hard to read, I'm not used to post on the forums.

  Specifications of computer I am running

  -Windows 7 Home Premium 64

  -Hard drive 1 t

  -8 GB ram

  -AMD Athlon II 620, quad cor 2600 Mhz processer

  -Nvidia 9100 (integrated video card)

  PS it is said in the system information it is pc based on a x 64 but the directory windows\system32 file, don't know if that would be a problem or not :(

  Hi spotus,.

   
  As you have already formatted the C: and reinstalled Windows, it seems that there is a problem with the hardware. We recommend trying the following steps and check the result.
  Step 1: Look for disk errors
  a. see check a drive for errors
  Step 2: Run the diagnostic tool memory to see if there is a problem with the memory stick
  a. see diagnosis of problems of memory on your computer

  We assume that you have installed the video card driver compatible 64-bit Windows 7.

• Problems of DxDiag in 32-bit mode

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit edition, Intel Q6600 CPU processor and a VGA Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 card.

  When I run DxDiag, I get a long list of windows error, including:

  Error: Could not get basic display info

  Error: Could not get sound warnings

  Error: Problem getting view info

  And about half a dozen more. When the DxDiag screen appears in fact, it does not my information system display. However, once I hit "Run DixDiag 64-bit", it displays correctly so all of my information.

  The problem is that I was trying to play GalCivII and it does not start because my "drivers are out of date" or something in that sense. (Which are not). When I read the debug file, it shows the following:

  Debug message: Version v2.03 Twilight of the Arnor last updated the: Wed Jul 23 11:47:38 2009

  Physical memory: 4094 MB RAM

  Windows Dir: C:\Windows

  And then it will display some of my video card information. I currently have DirectX 11 (according to DxDiag in 64-bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate edition. Thus, the debug file looks like it's reading my 32 bit DxDiag information, that is incorrect or does not exist. Any ideas how to get this working?

   

  Thanks for any help you can provide!

  I just noticed your BIOS is the same as mine and that your Q6600 is listed as having only 2 CPUs. Although the Q6600 is listed as not supporting Hyper-Threading technology, Hyper-Threading should be enabled in the BIOS to use all four cores in your CPU. I have a Q6600, ASUS P5N - D motherboard, two 9800 GT video tips and encountered the same problem. I need activate the Hyper-Threading technology get mine to work well.

• Windows cannot find C:\Docume~1\owner\Locals~1\Temp\dwm.exe

  I get the following error at startup: Windows cannot find C:\Docume~1\owner\Locals~1\Temp\dwm.exe

  Once I click ok, I get the same error message, but it says it could not load or run it from the registry.

  In addition, I can not get on the internet on my PC. I can access the internet fine on my laptop through y network.

  I read how to solve the error message, but I can't get on the internet to access programs. Suggestions? I'm so frustrated!

  Thanks in advance!  :)

  Steve Winograd's right - no executables are normally launched from the Temp folder where you specify unless the malware put them there.

  Your system is currently or has been infected and perhaps your detection/removal software clean the folder Temp of the suspicious content but this process does not always boot entry that points to the location/suspicious file, so that each reboot (or login), he wants to run it.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

  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.
  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:
  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html
  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:
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  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.
  You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
  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.

• What is dwm.exe file I found suddenly in my application data folder?

  I had problems with my hung on a file named dwm.exe anti-virus software.  I go back there since last night windows prefetch file.  I have no idea what this file is located, I can't draw any type of file association properties and whenever I try to move it to the trash, I get a message saying that I can't access because it is used.  When I go to Task Manager and stop the process, it simply appears again a few minutes later just return in application, but not associated with a particular program data folder.  Avast is not seen as a virus when parsing, but it keeps popping up as the source of several warnings of malware by the anti-virus program.  What the devil am I going here?

  If you have Vista - even if you have posted in forum Windows XP - dwm.exe is the Vista Desktop Window Manager and is responsible for the graphic effects to Microsoft Windows Vista operating system such as the live previews of windows 3D effects and transparencies to windows.

  What version of Windows you have, including the service pack?

  Do not include in C:\Windows\prefetch... those who are not 'real' files but are used by Windows for loading of the speed of the applications.  Do not delete something \prefetch with the idea that doing so will improve performance.  It will not.

  You say that your anti-virus software warns of this file, but then say that "Avast sees a virus during the scanning."  If you simultaneously run two anti-virus applications, don't.  Choose a.

  What antivirus and anti-malware applications do you use?  That are configured to run all the time (that is, in the background scan)?

  This program complains dwm.exe and what is the exact message?

  Finally, it is always possible that the malware has disguised himself using a legitimate file name.  Where is (other than \prefetch) location dwm.exe?  Right click and take a look at its properties and its relationship to what you see.  If not in C:\Windows\system32, there probably IS malware.

• Windows cannot find C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\dwm.exe not __could not load or run C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\dwm.exe specified in the registry___

  Windows XP SP3

  Lift both of these errors at startup. Click on through one, then a second will appear. Click per second startup continues to load windows and the system is functional.  I did some research, seems quite common to have dwm.exe questions, so not sure how I should be. I guess that this is caused by some sort of worm/virus/trojan. Ran anti-virus scan: Panda antivirus pro 2010 found 3 infections but problem still not solved. Next step?

  No simple AV tool and not every doesn't know everything you need to use more than one scanning program in your arsenal of AV.

  In the perfect world, do some exectutables launch of the Documents and Settings folder.

  It seems that despite your Panda AV, your system is always somehow afflicted.

  Sometimes even the 'best' AV tools are unable to clean up the mess of certain conditions or they can't tell if what they discover is a true infection or something you did on purpose so they will leave him alone, and then do you a little housekeeping cleaning by hand.

  Autoruns is the right idea, but first make sure you have something missed Panda, then use Autoruns if you still have the problem.

  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.

  Autoruns will help you clean up the leftovers, but you have to be as sure as possible that there is no infection rest first.

  A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading...

  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

  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:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  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:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  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.

  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!

  I get the above message block when I start my computer. I run Ad-Aware, Malware bytes and StopZilla with no luck. He won't let me connect to the internet. Any ideas on what I can do? My wife needs this computer for school work and I need mine to be deployed. Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  You can try an online virus scanner to check the virus first. For example:

  ESET: http://www.eset.com/online-scanner

  TrendMicro: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

  Once you are sure that you do not have a virus, you can download and run "Autoruns" from Sysinternals http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  Download the program, unzip it and run it. After accepting the EULA, it will take time to discover all of your startup items. Go to the bottom of the list and uncheck the item "setings\temp\dwm.exe c:\documents and Settings owner". Autoruns to shut down and restart the PC to see if the error is still in place.

  You can find information on using Autoruns to the same address as above.

• svchost.ext problems

  I noticed one of my svchost.exe process went a little funky, after that I had to do a system restore to take a bad driver for my graphics card.  He started to eat 30-100% of my CPU usage.  After a day of reacent he has returned down to a maximum of 50% of the CPU usage and is enabled by running the windows update.  So far, he did install time extremely long, I'm constantly late to get an update to install and go beyond creating a system restore point. Im running the eddition 64 bit Windows Vista business.

  Here is some information and any help would be greatly apriceiated.

  Problem solved, after a bit of research and talk to some local technicians, and we saw it happen.  The system restore ruined a parameter that does not hurt the system. the solution was eather leave it is and putting day make sure to end it, repair windows or reinstalling itself on another hard drive.  Option 1 is what im on since its only activated by windows update.  Automatic updates are disabled and I can stop the process when it acts upward with a problem.

• Windows Vista starts with white screen - dwm.exe and dllhost.exe errors on the hard drive.

  original title: freezing after login! ... disk hard dwm.exe and dllhost.exe errors. As usual load screen and then nothing can be used/open to all. Occasionally start opens and closes and nothing else beyond.

  Cannot use the laptop mode safe mode with networking. Have you tried to repair registry free of bugs and using Vista install with view to repair OS repair disk, but there are a lot of people having this problem different from this problem with dwm.exe dwm.exe or versions/varieties. This is is produced immediately after the download and installation of Microsoft Updates I might add.  Please can someone help?  Thank you very much... LiZ :)

  Never use Registry Repair programs.

  They can cause more harm than good.
