programs like firefox desktop shortcuts, norton360 has stopped working.
Shortcuts to programs like Firefox, explore, Norton 360, Windows Media Player, lead now etc. for a window saying "Windows cannot open this file." Programs open if I find the real execution of command in program files, but it is an argument. Documents shortcuts to the desktop of windows-excellent, word - work.
Problem started after I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Beta 16.
Excellent, just run this fast tool here to fix the LNK (shortcut) file type associations:
That and your shortcuts should start work immediately.

Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed
One of our machines (HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC running Windows Vista x 64) will receive the error "Desktop Window Manager has stopped working and was closed" with lots of close error. He reappears (as well as all windows flasher to non-aero, then back to aero) in a few minutes, spends about 5 times per hour.
I did some research on this and have already taken the following measures without a bit of luck:
1 run the command chkdsk / SFC scan - nothing found via chkdsk, SFC found some issues fixed, and some, it did not set. Them that it solves not all related to Windows Sidebar, which I do not / does not start.
2. put updated drivers for ATI Radeon 3200HD - this had a lot of new questions. Installing caused newer drivers ATI catalyst to no longer work with errors during installation and popup errors at startup. After trying several solutions workaround to try to get installed it, I ended up coming back to the driver that came with the laptop, that are properly installed and working without error. I am skeptical of update of this stable driver as a solution to the dwm.exe error.
3. this problem just started yesterday, that occur with not a lot of changes. Other than updates of windows (I think that .NET framework and a few other updates installed), I replaced NOD32 antivirus with Bitdefender antivirus. The system was stable with bitdefender for about 2 weeks, so I'm not convinced that this program is causing the error.
4. the event viewer shows the following:
Failing application Dwm.exe, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e02696, failed module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18881, time stamp 0x51da3d16, exception code 0 x 80000003, offset 0x00000000000461f0, process id 0 x 124 error, start the application time 0x01cea0365a457adc.
Offset, process id and start on time all vary, but there are a lot of these application errors in the viewer all screaming Dwm.exe like the failing application.
What should be my next course of action?
You do not receive an error but a caveat. NTStatus results (the set of codes execption used by ntdll - the failed module) begin to 0 for no error, 4 for information (you should never see this), 8 for putting guard and C for error.
It's your specific error.

MessageText:

Breakpoint
A breakpoint has been reached.
//
#define STATUS_BREAKPOINT ((NTSTATUS) 0x80000003L) / / winntProblem is, you shouldn't have breakpoints. Breakpoints are set by debuggers and stop the execution of the program to the State of the program can be examined. There should be no breakpoints in a retail system. More breakpoints are inserted into memory during execution of the program in a debugger. They tend not to do in the actual file.
So here are two assumptions, either you have no exit code, IE test code (driver?). Or you have a running program that behaves like a debugger (which is suspect).
Each of the three towers of programs, services, and drivers in increasing amounts. So restrict the possible culprits.

Desktop Window Manager has stopped working after loading of updates 12/10/10 MS
Once the download and installation of updates for Windows 12/10/10 patches, Desktop Window Manager has stopped working. Event viewer lists under Applications:

Path of the failing module: C:\Windows\system32\nvwgf2umx.dll
Report ID: e6dfd048-d6e2-11df-9660-00271383b7feThe operating system is Win 7 x 64. Video card is a Gigabyte GTS450OC1 with its latest driver running on an Intel DP55KG MB with 8 GB memory Corsair XMS3. The system was fully functional and stable immediately before the update. I don't know which of the 18 patches is in conflict with the nvwgf2umx.dll file. Device Manager reports no hardware problem with any component.
In my attempts to solve the problem, I run chkdsk f, sfc/scannow (which have reported no problem) and reloaded the video driver (without uninstall first). Nothing works so far. I even tried to defragment the master file with Diskeeper 2010 start time Table Defragger (based on another post, I've found), also without success.
What is the reference for this?
This may seem like the thing the more janky to post, but I got the same error several months:

And miraculously all started working again. I'm running a GTX570 with latest drivers nvidia from Scripture.Note: You probably shouldn't be move/rename things in System32 unless you are confident and have your data backed up. It worked for me, but who knows you. -

I use Firefox 7.0.1 on an old Dell with Windows XP Home edition machine. For years, I used Firefox to work on my wiki (hull.ac.uk/awe) without any problems. In the last month or two, the browser refused to apply the wiki markup in the way I used to see, unlike IE (7.0.5730.11). Hotmail also no longer works in firefox, though it's fine in Internet Explorer. (In a moment paranoid, I was afraid that Microsoft was blocking Mozille; but this seems unlikely.) Connections look good: it's just that the browser is no longer implements/displays the text marked in the way I want (and I'm used to) to see. I deleted some code/action unintentionally? If so, how can I return it?
Try to upgrade to Firefox 8.0.1
