  If you do not have a DVD of Microsoft Vista, borrow one from a friend.

  Read this tutorial on how to do a repair installation:

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

  Regarding the relocation:

  You can borrow a suitable Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• The MRT.exe program keeps using 50% of my cpu all the time, how do I stop

  I really need help... After you install the update for the MRT. EXE for it can always stay less and its made my computer run slow and my cpu runs at 10 degrees warmer... I need help it is so frustrating.

  First of all, most of the people who respond on this forum is not related to Microsoft.  Unless the machine is identified as a "Support Engineer" or "Microsoft moderator system" or similar, he or she is not employed by Microsoft.  Thus, one who you "connected direct to" was not one of our "associates".

  MRT.exe is the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.  A new version of this tool is included in the critical updates each month on "Patch Tuesday" (the first Tuesday of the month).  It must run once - at the time download you - where and then be dormant for the rest of the month, except if you manually start upward.

  Apparently, the nameless person with which you handled has not well understand this.

  Have you ever received a message indicating that the MRT found something?

  Click Start > run and then type the following in the run box, and then click OK
     
  %SystemRoot%\Debug

  A Windows Explorer window will open and you should see - at least - a file named mrt.log.  Well, you will see another file named mrt.log.old, which is the last newspaper of the month.

  Open the file with Notepad mrt.log.  You should see something like the following:

  If there is an ERROR in the log, post it here or see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891717

  MRT.exe does not run continuously.  If so, something is wrong.

  MRT.exe should be located in c: Windows\System32.  If she is not there, look for your entire drive, making sure to check the search options "Search system folders", "search the hidden files and folders" and "Search subfolders".  If you find MRT.exe somewhere other than C:\Windows\system32, it is probably malware masquerading as the real Malicious Software Removal Tool.

  Everywhere where you find it, delete it.  You can download the latest version of the MRT here.

  I also suggest you analyzing your system with free MalwareBytes Antimalware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  Be sure to update both scanners before their execution.

  If, after you remove MRT.exe, you get an error at startup complain that MRT could not be found, download and run Autoruns.  Click the 'Connection' tab and look in the column 'Image path' the MRT.exe.  If it is not displayed in the connection tab, click the "all" tab and use the file > search tool.  A characteristic of the search of Autoruns tool is that you must move the selection under the element line "found" before you "Find Next."  Once you find the entrance with MRT.exe, delete it.

• MRT.exe ate my photos. Can someone help me get back them?

  I am running Windows XP service pack 3.  I keep all my photos on a separate hard drive in its own file labled photos.  According to this hard disk a file arrived on labled 00f3f1d25bf937f91f.  When I looked inside this file, it shows that it contains a file called MRT.exe dated 05/17/2011.  As it has been bothering me not let him alone.  Unfortunately however today my mouse, which can be a bit tempemental, rather than open the file of the photo, which was immediately next to this file, moved the photo file to the folder labled 00f3f1d25bf937f91f and won't let me open it.  I tried to move the picture on the 00f3f1d25bf937f91f file, but the system is in place with access denied.  If I look at the properties of the photo file I can even if I can't open it, it shows the size of file as being zero byte.  Can anyone tell how I recover my photos?  I guess they are there somewhere the extrnal HDD is provided by Seagate and on my directory is called FreeAgent drive. It is not used for anything else other than a backup of hard drive that I did not run for a few weeks so wherever the photos went to what they always be you somewhere.

  And this extract previously in KB890830

  How to remove the malicious software removal tool

  The malicious software removal tool does not use an installer. As a general rule, when you run the malicious software removal tool, it creates a temporary directory named at random on the root of the drive of the computer. This directory contains several files, and it includes the Mrtstub.exe file. Most of the time, this folder is automatically deleted after the tool to the end of execution or the next time that you start the computer. However, this folder may not always be automatically deleted. In these cases, you can manually delete this file, and this has no adverse effect on the computer

• Anyone who has a problem with net.exe?

  Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 with all patches

  Open a command window and tried to run net.exe:
  C:\>NET
  This version of C:\Windows\system32\net.exe is not compatible with the version o
  f Windows that you use. Check your computer's system information to see information indicating if
  r you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program, then told the
  CT the software publisher.

  Checked net.exe and found that it was not true.  Did a scan using Microsoft Security Essentials and it says that it ASNA 2 files and found no threat.

  The original net.exe was renamed appearently net1.exe.

  The owner of the file is trustedinstaller.  I can't move, rename or delete it even when running as administrator.  The system says that I need the permission of the Trusted Installer.

  Any idea of what could have caused this and how get rid of?

  Hello, saberman

  The fact that the Details tab of the property sheet for your net.exe is not filled with the correct information is undoubtedly a problem. This is why suggested Yann Support engineer runs the System File Checker ("SFC"), which is designed to find and replace corrupt or missing system files from backups in your store of components (windows side by side or WinSXS folder; note that the KB929833 article I just linked ("System File Checker") has yet to be re-written to reflect the fact that) Since the advent of Windows Resource Protection in Windows Vista is no longer a dllcache folder in System32 and file system backups are now located @ C:\Windows\winsxs\Backup).  Running SFC should have found the problem with net.exe & repaired, without needing to resort to a system restore, which can sometimes cause problems as indicated by the error message you posted, i.e. that net.exe "is invalid for your system.  I suggest to read the article from KB929333 on SFC and see if enforcement of that tool is not correct the problem. If not, a good starting point for troubleshooting to solve the problem is the sfcdetail.txt newspaper, which shows the results of each operation of checking files and each transaction attempted repair. instructions for how extract/transform/load this journal of his 'home' in the service area global log (log CBS.log) in a usable format appear under the heading "How to view the details of the System File Checker process" of KB929333, and the instructions on how to repair files that are not SFC are included in the article "How replace manually a file system damaged by a known file correct copy" section (the two sections are available by clicking on the circle '+' sign next to "for more information").  It is to note that it is not uncommon to have to run SFC repeatedly to deal with corruption - 3 times is the recommended minimum, and I personally saw him require more... the error dialog box that you see leads me to believe there is more harm than simply a lack of functionality net.exe and CFS can be just the thing to get things straightened.

  That said, it is also true that there is often more than one place that a protected system file is stored, other than the C:\Windows\winsxs\Backup on a Windows 7 computer. Typical areas of other instances of the net.exe include C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-net-command-line-tool_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_5208a7a3d3caa54c records, while net1.exe can usually be discovered (on a 64 - bit with an AMD processor machine) and two C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-net1-command-line-tool_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_86b24994b5e6bfbf at C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-net1-command-line-tool_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_e2d0e5186e4430f5 (note that the part "31bf3856ad364e35" of these folder names may vary). There may be other places in the store of components according to these things the way that system restore several times has been executed, whether an OEM computer (i.e., a pre-loaded with Windows by an Original Equipment Manufacturer) who has already found "Factory Spec", which updates Windows, service packs and other fixes/patches have been applied, and other factors.  The trick is to know what file is correct to use to replace a version corrupted in C:\Windows\System32 - which is not always easy to determine - and by "taking possession" file corrupted in question, so it may be deleted or replaced.

  The windows component store peut usually be used as the source of a file replacement for one that SFC cannot fix by using the information in C:\Windows\winsxs\Backup, but a user must make sure that they know what they are doing to avoid the disaster (this is why Microsoft has included the "automatic" option to perform a "repair installation" to correct the corruption of the system)- and if the user has access to another , work computer running the same version of Windows, or for the installation media (if no Service Pack or other update of the kernel has been applied), or "slipstream" self-created media (if Windows 7 Service Pack 1 has been applied) designed specifically for the operating system in use, extraction verified copies of the record of those required are usually an "easier" approach  Detailed instructions on the use of all these forms of installation with SFC media are in the Wiki author try * 3of 6 December 2013 post to the thread of community "System File Checker and access files blocked, while detailed instructions on how to create a"slipstreamed"media are in his post from August 25, 2012 to pg 3 of the thread"guide to recovery of Windows 7 Home Premium account user word of. past lost, unable to connect, connection problem"(it is also useful to have a look at this whole thread, which has very useful information about different Windows 7 recovery options, and that includes links to downloadable PDFs (portable document files) on each of the options many.).  BTW, these pdf files is hosted on the cloud OneDrive service, which is where we usually place downloaded files (for example the zipped copy of your corrupt net.exe file you mention) and make them accessible to third parties. to learn more on how to do that I recommend community animator Gerry C J Cornellexcellent tutorial 'Forums Community Microsoft"on its site Computer Tips of Gerry .

  As you noted, net.exe (and net1.exe - which, as I have, reminder has been around in all NTFS OS since @ least NT4.0 however hardly documented; official documentation only I ever)

  seen mention that this is the Windows Embedded article Utility Net.exe : thus, as well as many others

  protected system files) is 'held', in terms of security of the file/folder permissions, by service "Trusted Installer".  The implementation of the Protection of resources of Windows, Vista, limit property of this service-protected system files in large part to protect themselves against malicious or accidental deletions.  However, a user with administrative privileges ('high') can always take ownership over any file and then manipulate it at will.  TechNet Library 'ownership of a file or a folder' article provides advice on how to do it, but without expertise in the creation of a file batch, macro, visual basic program, Power Shell command or similar to handle this action based on a large scale, the procedure described is essentially limited to a one-at-a-time approach.  In my opinion, a better technique is to add the ability to take ownership of a file or folder from the context menu (right click "") of the operating system. many people have found the information and automated "registry hacks" in the Seven Forums tutorial "Windows 7: take ownership shortcut" very useful in this regard.  Even with this capability, users can occasionally run through a file that stubbornly refuses to behave even when the property has been reassigned to the said user. in this case, the stand-alone freeware program ("Portable Executable", requiring no installation runs) UnLocker can be valuable.

  I'm hopeful that SFC be enough to take care of this problem for you, but if not, I would also consider

  check the integrity of the hard disk / partition with Check Disk.  If none of these solves the problem, a repair installation may be in order.  Useful information on this procedure can be found in article KB2255099, "How to perform an upgrade in Place on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2" and the tutorial of the Forum seven "How to do a repair of trouble Windows 7 installation.  Good luck!

• I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

  original title: error with ehshell.exe

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

  This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

  You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.
