• Install srvany.exe in win 2008 r2 servers

  Hello

  I'm migrating off 2003 servers (I inherited) and have some old VB apps I would like to set up as a service on the new servers of 2008rs.

  Srvany.exe is currently used.

  Can I use this on 2008r2?

  Are there necessary measures other than the copy of the srvany.exe?

  Is there an alternative?  SC.exe will create the service but I can't launch it...

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

• Replacement installers and exe files...

  OK, so I started working with distributions and had a question... say I create an executable file and the program installation, but once I have start running it I find that I have a little problem... None of which would require an extensive rewrite, but maybe I want to maintain a constant or two or change the size of font here and there... and rebuild my exe file.    Now, I have to build a whole new installation program or can I take my new exe file and drop it on the target machine, replacing the first exe file?

  Thank you!

  For testing purposes, you can usually just replace your executable file.  But you want to rebuild your installer for the official version.

• Is there a replacement for sndrec32.exe from XP to Windows 7?

  I have been using C:\WINDOWS\System32\sndrec32.exe XP to play short WAV files because I can issue

  @START/min C:\WINDOWS\System32\sndrec32.exe/play/close a - sound.wav

  in a script to get the sound that is played with the utility run reduced and leave peacefully.   Is there a replacement in Windows 7 or a safe (ie: virus and malware free) utility available with these capacities in replacement?

  The sndrec32.exe file may not work by himself and require other binaries/DLL files.  Transfer them to another PC is technically against the license to use Windows (depending on the conditions, you have not), and even the law through terrible reads of the DMCA, but if you want to try, right click and 'send to compressed folder (zip)' drop everything first.  E-mail programs will be almost universally block any exe file because it pourrait be a virus. They will also usually block com and scr files (used in the BACK like an exe file).  But if you he zip first (or even to rename the file .somethingelse instead of the exe) you can get it to send.

• Firefox.exe suddenly only 2 k (and IE 1 KB) & flagged up as a malware

  January 13 (2015), I was surprised to find my anti-virus (Pure 3.0 at the time) Kaspersky software tracking upward of what follows as a malware (trojan):

  Firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe HOUR: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
  Iexplore.exe C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe TIME: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena
  eBay Sidebar for Sidebar C:\Users\David\Desktop\eBay Firefox.lnk for Firefox.lnk HOUR: Trojan.WinLNK.StartPage.gena

  I followed the instructions to the quarantine and re - start. No problem. After re-booting, I couldn't access Firefox and discovered that he had indeed been quarantined - with IE (which I use rarely) and eBay Sidebar for Firefox (which I have not used for a long time). On the restoration of these, they are still identified as malware. Further investigation revealed that firefox.exe was only 2 KB - and that is only 1 KB.

  Kaspersky was advised to switch to total security, that I did and it has continued to identify the files as malware. Full virus controls, including safe mode, is not revealed. Run a suite of recommended anti-malware programs don't have pick up a limited number of bits and pieces (and I deleted) that Kaspersky has not, although my research on the net pointing everything be the kind of things that produce advertisements on browsers... not something that would erase or rename programs (I don't see bad ads though, perhaps because of my settings in Firefox Kaspersky and NoScript).

  Kaspersky feels firefox.exe has been altered (on 2 k, it is certainly not right) - Although that corrupt is another question. All other files \Mozilla Firefox seem to be there, and I have no problem with other software or files on my PC (just those three). Again the same thing happened to IE at the same time. That is a hard drive failing very little likely indeed - but it makes me suspicious that there was * something * deliberately made that Kaspersky did not pick up. However, it would be unusual for decent antivirus software like Kaspersky miss something. In addition, the same question must occur widely around the same time, because if everyone around the world lost their browsers he would have made the news - not to mention advertising malware that corrupts the two browsers being rather doomed to failure!

  Either way, the desktop shortcuts have been replaced by the Windows icon by default for programs that do not have a shortcut to measure. And by clicking on what was the shortcut of Firefox opens a DOS window, which closes immediately; IE does the same thing but a "16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem" error box appears (these are the days!) with:
  C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Internet client.lnk
  NTVDM CPU has encountered an invalid statement.
  CS: 123f IP:012d OP: 8f 9f af 6th ba choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
  [By clicking on 'Close' or 'ignore' both close BACK - and that's it.] [No virus or something similar is picked up and four anti-malware programs, I am using now show that my system is clean.

  So my questions are:
  (1) any thoughts on what happened?
  (2) I need to get Firefox working again. Can I simply copy firefox.exe from another machine and replace the existing 2 k firefox.exe and everything should be good, as it was before... or it is not as simple as that? (I understand that Firefox keeps preferences, etc., in separate files).

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  Sorry, you had this problem

  It my be possible and work if you replace the firefox.exe problem

  However that could cause problems and the solution would be to download and install Firefox again by an official site, and by using a pure install involving the removal of the existing program files. (Care to leave the files and folders from one Firefox profile. In fact, it would be interesting, as a precaution suspenders belts ; Locate and save first)

  • See Firefox crashes at startup_try a clean install
  • Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
    • Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data _finding-your-profile-without-opening-Firefox

  As to what happened, you gave a well-reasoned and intelligent summary, but after the event, it's going to is almost impossible to define. Sometimes the AV brand and/or & false positives especially temporarily if not totally updated.

  Clean reinstall it

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

     

     Click the close button

     

     ).

  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

  WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device!

• Wmiprvse.exe constantly running

  Wmiprvse.exe uses all my cycles CPU. I tried to run my antivirus AVG auditor and SpeedyPC software, and nothing has changed. How can I stop this CPU hog? Running Windows XP Professional SP3, all installed updates. Tried stopping the process in the Task Manager, and it comes right off. Thanks for your help.

  Thanks for your help.  None of the articles or links solved the problem. Several of them wanted to sell me programs, which also does not help.

  I finally replaced the wmiprvse.exe file in \wbem with that of a previous update XP, and so far the issue is resolved.  I cross my fingers.

  Thanks again for your help, tho.

• .exe files does not

  I had a problem with spyware earlier today and accidentally deleted files .exe, including rundll32.exe, which is apparently needed to run everything that I need!  Using the available online programs/scans was useless, because of course ironically, an .exe file is necessary for the program works!  I made sure my .exe file is associated with 'applications' but this has not fixed anything whatsoever and I am unable to do a system restore because I don't have the .exe file to make it work.  Whenever I try to run any of these (System Restore, disk cleanup, etc.), I received the box inviting me to choose what program with which to run the file, but I have no idea what to choose.  I work on Windows XP and had not any problems, until the 'XP Internet Security 2012' appeared and I downloaded Spyware Doctor to remove it.  Please help, I'm beyond frustrated!

  This makes no sense...

  If the rundll32.exe file is missing, some things will not work and you will see a message like this for example, when you try to open the Control Panel, add / remove programs:

  Control Panel
  Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

  Cleaning disk and system restore still works fine if the rundll32.exe file is missing, because they don't use it, so it seems that your file associations are not very well.

  How can I know it?  I started in the XP Recovery Console (so Windows file protection does not run) and deleted my rundll32.exe file Express, restarted normally with the file 'disappeared' and actually tried.

  I could do this:

  Go to this site by Doug WWW:

  http://www.dougknox.com/

  On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

  Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, and then restart and see if your system restore or disk cleanup will launch now (you must run again - just to see if the launch or not).

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  Restart and fix any problems.

  Also note that if the rundll32.exe file is missing in the system32 folder, running sfc/scannow will not replace it because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

  Running sfc/scannow will attempt to replace the rundll32.exe file if it is missing here the dllcache folder, but if you have a genuine XP bootable with the same Service Pack installation CD as your installed SP (most people don't), you won't get away with sfc/scannow.

  If your rundll32.exe file is really missing, I have one on my SkyDrive, you can download.

  How can I know it?  I actually tried.

• Isass.exe failed to initialize properly, click on ok to terminate the application (OXC0000005)

  I am running windows XP 32-bit (windows XP (R) (Build 2600.XPSP_3_gdr.101209 - 1647: SP3 & IE8) and had no problems at all until I decided to have a good wipe and reinstall XP.) I have a recovery disk only.

• Black screen - cannot run Explorer.exe with Task Manager

  Hi guys

  I've been Googling the answer to that for the last day and nothing seemed to work.

  Basically, my portable was working fine until this morning, when I restarted. After the home screen, just a rear screen with the mouse. CTRL ALT DEL and everything still works normally. I can run programs with the Task Manager, but can not run explorer.exe. He returned in the process for about 10 seconds then disappears. I think that it is the cause of the black screen. I tried downloading an own explorer.exe and replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\. My computer it did not as he said I need the permission of the administrator, but of course, I am the Admin so I don't know what that's all.
  I tried to restart in Mode safe and that works very well, still, I can't replace the explorer.exe in the C:\Windows\ because I do not have the administrative authorization. I tried to change it in the Security tab of the properties, or impossible.
  I also tried to update the driver software graphics cards, checked the Shell in the registry value and made sure it's explorer.exe, used the difficulty of black of Pevx screen, used HitmanPro and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to scan and remove malware. I even did a scf/scannow, checked driver C a mistake (which took 3 hours!), let Windows Startup Repair to fix things, tried a system restore but failed. He says that the anti-virus (Sophos) prevented the restoration of the system, so I've temporarily disabled its access scanning on but still unable to restore to a previous (11/01). Program changes that recent such as listed in the system restore is Google + Auto BackUp who came when set Picasa to date there 3 days and a more recent version of Facebook video call I've ever used. I am now running a scan with Sophos, not too promising.
  So yes, I tried everything. I think that now, there are only three options:

  1 somehow replace the explorer.exe in C:\Windows\ with this new cool explorer.exe, which I downloaded, with the permission of the administrator
  2. try another restore of the system, but I'm sure that nothing will happen, already tried three times.
  3 reinstall Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. It will be a real pain.

  So please help me! I have courses of due on Monday and this portable do not let me what that be done. Thank you!!!

  Please ignore the other my long answer. The problem has now been resolved.

  After trying all kind of scans, drinking and sobbing, I came across TDSS Killer from Kaspersky, who managed to catch a 1 latest unique malicious software (that I was too stupid and really looked hopeless and remember the name of), it cures the problem after reboot. Now, the laptop works well like you wouldn't believe. I'm still confused but way too happy now to care. Thanks a lot for your help nevertheless!

• Several questions, the system crashes, corrupted notepad.exe.mui, SFC scan errors, cant play Battlefield 4 game

  Original title: I need help - corrupt notepad.exe.mui

  Hi all! This is my first time around these parts, so forgive me if I make a mistake and prepare for a long story.

  Quick information on my computer:

  Windows 7 64 bit

  AMD Radeon HD 7950

  8 GB RAM

  Intel i5 4670 k 3.40 GHz Quad Core

  Recently I bought Battlefield 4 for PC. I have loaded on my computer with ease but quickly came across a problem when I tried to play the game. My GPU drivers were apparently outdated and he gave me the choice of either a. cancellation of the launch, or (B) try to play anyway. Looking forward, I tried to launch anyway. No dice, the game freezes immediately and I can not play. At a time of the option.

  After traveling around for a bit, I discovered that my drivers were, in fact, to date and should update. So I downloaded the latest drivers, "AMD Catalyst Omega", and you click install (note that I have not manually uninstall previous drivers, so I don't know if it has really done anything). After that, he went through the whole process, do things (I suppose) as uninstall the old drivers and install the new. After it was over, I was able to boot successfully in the field of battle 4 and was able to play both the campaign and multiplayer without fault at 60 fps oh high heat. (Great game BTW, recommend to all who love FPS).

  Well, after a few hours, I decided to call it a night. After closing, I noticed that the bar at the bottom of my screen flickered from top down in very quickly. Naturally, I found it quite strange and decided to shut down my computer (thinking at the time, that I should probably do that as soon as the new drivers were installed - it was the result of not doing).

  The next day, I woke up wanting to start playing Battlefield 4. But, much to my dismay, my computer froze as he was loading the desktop. Now, it was nothing new for me, I had a lot of computer problems in the past, I can fix it this one as well. My first thought was just reboot and see if that will change anything. Unfortunately, he did nothing. He froze in the exact same task as he had before. It started to scare me a little. Previously, during an automatic update of windows, is the same thing. He has downloaded everything installed fine, very good, but when my computer restarted and tried to load to the top of my desk, my computer would freeze. Finally, I had to use system restore and restored my computer to a point before Windows automatically updated. After that, I disabled the automatic updates and him haven't touched since (Yes, my computer is has not been updated for months and months. I think that I stopped the download of updates at the time an update of Windows technically dirtied by malicious software that would crash the computers).

  I noticed the problem how similar I saw now was the question I had before with the updates of Windows. So I took to the system restore and wala, my computer was still running reliable update of the driver pre - GPUS. Now, I was still burning for some 4 battlefield. Whether I went through the same process as before, it would result in the same outcome, I did a little research. It turns out that someone had a similar problem for me. Their solution was to ensure that information on previous drivers had gone to 100%, and it said to use two programs called DriverFusion and CCleaner, well, I followed the instructions of the solution: uninstall the drivers - with DriverFusion - restart good computer - installation of new drivers - to go, but once again, no dice. A frozen at the exact same task as it did before.

  Now completely annoyed at all this, I'll be back and system restore to the point that I just had previously. Except that this time it did not work. Were no longer my system restore bringing back me to the settings of the computer that worked, it would freeze (and sometimes a blue screen), every time I tried from the desktop. Sometimes, I could get a few minutes before it would freeze, other times that I do not see my office. And it doesn't matter what time I have to put in place. Sometimes, the system restore would work, sometimes it wouldn't, but in two results, it would freeze at the office.

  Panic is now being that my computer does not seem to work at all. I can still run without danger made (thank God for that), but normal Windows is just the gel. As my panic slowly transforms into a will, I turn to google to see if someone is having my exact problem (Note: everything I do on my computer is in safe mode, and any internet research I do is on my smart phone). Finally, I came across a page saying: I need to use the command "sfc/scannow" and this should solve my problems. If I use the command, and he said that he detected problems, but has been unable to fix. He also said that he saved the information on the analysis in a journal, a journal that I could access. So I do! The entrance to the EXACT newspaper that speakes of the error is.

  "(Note that I stressed and bolded what I assumed important information, and it's the only mistake he came with).

  The only thing that I have noticed time and time again is the reference to a file called "notepad.exe.mui". Curious, I investigated more research and found that the file may be damaged and even deleted without knowing you, even by simple virus. Now, I know that I had a virus on my computer when the update of the driver. Try to add the pieces together, I thought that maybe this virus was the reason that this file has been going crazy and maybe even corrupt the file itself. Later in the article to tell me about the "sfc/scannow" command, he said that if it is available, I can get the file from another computer that is the same as mine. So, I borrowed laptop from my brother, running Windows 7 64-bit, publish the file on his computer, put it on a flash drive, plug it into my computer, move my old notepad.exe.mui on the desktop (Yes, I still have the original) and replace it with my brothers.

  Now for the part I did not yet understand. Replacing the file met with some success. After the first restart, my computer blue armored, but after the second reboot, it was in normal operation once again! Pre - GPUS normal update driver, that is. But nevertheless reliable running. Careful, I decided to run my anti-virus, Avast! and see if something happens. Of course, on a quick scan, he found a "malicious" file and I "moved it to the chest. To be doubly sure that all is well, I decide to run a scan at startup and have it automatically move all the malicious files, he finds 'trunk' or whatever he calls. I allow this to run at night and wake up to find that my computer still works reliably.

  Well, not wanting to take another chance, I run "sfc/scannow" once, just to see the error is still there. Nothing has changed. Sad it's not yet over, I again to replace the "notepad.exe.mui" in my computer this time that I deleted it, with one always on the flash drive. No blue screen on reboot, but I decide to again run the command "sfc/scannow". Once again, same error.

  At this point, I have no freaking idea what to do. My last two options are to use my disc and 'repair installation' and see if it makes something or just completely re - install Windows, which without a doubt, I don't want to do. Now, I can still play my old games very well. It's just I can't update Windows or drivers, fear, it may have a very dangerous effect.

  Anyone with any information which could be of use, please do not be afraid to say something. I come to this community as my last resort. Any information will be helpful, and I will watch this post like a bird of prey. Thank you for reading all of this. I'm sure it was quite the trip.

• \boot\bootsect.exe is not a valid win32 application

  I am currently running windows xp pro 32 bit OS. A windows 7 ultimate 64 bit ISO of the OS file is also in my possession. My goal is to begin installing WINDOWS ULTIMATE 64 BIT on a USB. I finally found a promising link via google search. ( http://www.bwana.org/2009/01/11/how-to-install-windows-7-beta-from-a-usb-drive-to-an-hp-mini-1000-without-vista/ ) I managed to go to step 12. In the 13th stage, I'm stuck. I get error -k:\boot\bootsect.exe is not a valid win32 application that I am running a 32 bit OS. Is anyway to change this?

  Some sites offer a free download of a 32-bit version of Windows 7 is bootsect.exe. Should I replace my bootsect.exe 64 (present in my file ISO Win7x64Ultimate of origin) with a 32 bit one and create an ISO file with the rest of the intact files, I'll be able to get through the 13th stage?

  Also, I have 5 drives in "My Computer". Each partitioned using NTFS file system. My XP Pro 32 bit is in the C: drive. I do not fear to lose the C: data because this is where I plan to install win7 ultimate 64-bit. However, I do not want the files in other readers. My question is-"I'll be able to access these files in other drives after installing win7 x 64 in the C: drive? »

  1 million thanks any help.

  If you have purchased Widnows 7 since the MS Store:

  When you create a bootable USB device, I get an error on bootsect
  To make the USB bootable, you must run a tool called bootsect.exe. In some cases, this tool must be downloaded from your Microsoft Store account. This can happen if you try to create a USB bootable 64-bit from 32-bit version of Windows. To download bootsect:

  1. Sign in to your Microsoft Store account to view your purchase history
  2. Search for your purchase of Windows 7.
  3. Next to Windows 7, there is a drop-down list "additional download options.
  4. In the drop-down menu, select "32-bit ISO."
  5. Right-click on the link and then save the bootsect.exe file to the location where you installed the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (for example C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool).
  6. Once the file has been saved, return to the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to create your bootable USB device.

  If you do not - Instructions I could find:

  Follow these instructions to work around the bootsect error:

  a. download and install the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool program, as described on theMicrosoft Store website.

  b. download a working version of 32-bit bootsect.exe . Here is a link to the 32 bit bootsect.exe:

  bootsect7600x86.zip
  From: http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/54443-32-bit-bootsect.html

  c. Once downloaded, copy the BootSect.exe file in the same folder that contains the file ofWindows7-USB-DVD-Download - Tool.exe installed. This file in Windows Vista's default installation directory isC:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool\ (you need to look in XP)

  d. application of the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool as described on theMicrosoft Store website. The end result will give you a boot USB flash drive that contains everything you need to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

• Installation of WinHelp32.exe on Windows 8 Pro

  I am installed WinHelp32.exe on Windows8 Pro (64-bit). I go to the Microsoft support site and download:

  Windows8-RT-KB917607-x 64.msu.

  On a double click to install I get the message "this update is not applicable to your computer.

  Any suggestions?

  On Windows 8 x 64, I also want to access a file using an old application I use every day. I found the same problems and the same solutions above worked for me-

  Problem 1 - Windows8-RT-KB917607-x 64.msu refuses to install with the message "this update is not applicable to your computer".

  Solution 1 - get the old winhlp32.exe to http://www.eightforums.com/software-apps/7540-winhlp32-exe-how-can-i-enable-legacy-windows-help-system-windows-8-a.html. Then, faced with...

  Problem 2 - I'm impossible to rename or delete the stub of winhlp32.exe in \Windows, so cannot replace the winhlp32.exe legacy that could actually work

  Solution 2 - follow the procedure given in http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-delete-a-system-file-in-windows-vista/ to appropriate \Windows\winhlp32.exe, rename and copy winhlp32.exe inheritance in. Windows. Result: old help file can now be read.

  You can also - use of language of the control panel configuration/addition to install & enable English (United States) - took a time, required restarts, showed the error message (default in Windows), but finally worked. (NB. before restarting, make sure that you know how to enter special characters in your password on a US English keyboard.)

  Then, with active American English, Windows8-RT-KB917607-x 64.msu installs and you get a more updated version of winhlp32.exe.

  Windows8-RT-KB917607-x 64.msu is enabled only for users of the English (United States)? Looks like that the Microsoft quality control slipped seriously with Windows 8, particularly with the updates.
