  • Failed to create system restore point exception exception c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,control_rundll,"c:\windows\system32\sysbm.cpl",system

    Original title: I can't do a restore point.

    I get exception c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,control_rundll,"c:\windows\system32\sysbm.cpl",system what can I do?

    This has happened for a very long time.

    Does really say '... sysdm.cpl "?"

    Is that what the text complete and accurate of what the message said exactly?  (there is no sysbm.cpl in XP, but there's a sysdm.cpl).

    What happens if you click on start, run and enter in the box:

    sysdm.cpl

    Click OK - the system properties box opens?

    What happens if you click on start, run and in the type box (exactly):

    %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

    Click OK - is the open window of the system restore?

    What is exactly the process (step by step) you are using when you try to create the restore point and when in the process you see this message?

    I think it's a miracle that the Microsoft support engineer can provide a link to an article when the error message report you is a little out of whack and articles doesn't mention your error message at all.  It's real good troubleshooting or clairvoyance!

    You should also tell us a little about your system:

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

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

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  • Windows Installer inaccessible folder + add/remove programs hangs

    Hello

    Today, I had some problems with Mozilla Firefox. After a while it hung and I had to hard-reboot of my computer.
    After research and virus problems, it seemed that the %WINDIR%\Installer folder was not accessible. My system hung up when I tried to open the folder (and when Windows read this content to view details).
    I then opened the Add/Remove Programs page, which hung in the same way.
    I have no problems installing programs (I first tried to update to Firefox, which caused no problem).

    System requirements: Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1.

    Currently, my computer works fine, but probably it crashes again at the opening of this file.

    Does anyone know a solution?

    Thank you!

    S

    Update: my problem is solved.
    I checked my drive on the flaws and repaired a few (of the signonhelper Windows Live) .msi file in the installation folder.
    All the problems have disappeared.

    I get an error code whenever I start my computer. I have loaded several packs of registry repair software but cannot get rid of the message. The message bed error loading c:\windows\system32\pofusido.dll the specified module is not found

    Hello

    I googled this file pofusido.dll and it could be caused by a virus.

    I would suggest that you disable the restore mode as viruses use it to reinstall set apart them.

    Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.

    Once you have updated Malwarebytes run and see if it can remove the virus.

    So delete all cookies in your internet Explorer.

    Original title:rundll32.exe

    I am running Vista SP2. I'm having a problem with the rundll32 process uses all the available system memory. The problem occurs when the history of navigation etc. is removed when you exit Explorer. The message that is displayed in the Task Manager is:

    C:\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess rundll32exe 10471 26 44

    The numbers at the end of the message vary, but the essence is the same. 2 of these process begins, each using over 1 GB of memory. I ran several scans for virus problems, but everything looks OK. I think that a rundll32 reloading could solve the problem. Can anyone confirm this and tell me how?
