  • Shortcuts to the office and entered invalid start menu - Vista

    The start-up of the PC, I found that all the shortcuts to the office and especially the start menu entries no longer works.  Start-up like google gadgets applications has not started.  A dialog box appears asking what application can use.  I was able to start the Explorer OK and for some files like word files the application will start and load the file - even for google gadgets.  For other applications such as firefox it would not start and just bring up the same dialog box.  IE would try to start and display a stop of the blank page and bring up the dialog box.

    I run the File Checker and everything is OK.

    Then, I created a new user account, and it seems to work normally.  Can I change the permissions to allow this new users to access all my original user files or is there a way to restore the original user account?

    Thank you

    Izzy

    What do you call, you may have a corrupted user account.

    Is the user account that was giving you problems also a user account or the Admin account?

    1. If it's just a user account, remove it.
    2. If an Admin account, make the new user as a new administrator account and delete the old admin account.

  • Explorer.exe takes more than 90% of the CPU when I opened start &#62; menu programs

    IM using Vista Ultimate with Aero theme. I am a single user of this computer. When I open Start-> programs menu, an explorer.exe process takes 90% and more CPU resources and remains to be done (even if I don't move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard) until I close the menu programs. What continues?

    Hello Serresjio I can almost guarantee you that the troubleshooting steps will flip over as soon as you start back. my suggestion is if possible, remove the hard drive and the scanner on another computer with Malware Bytes Anti Malware, Avast! Antivirus and Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG etc. (all updates of course). usually, I use this method when everything has failed. Don't be too surprised boyfriend so often that I have a USB-(e sata, 1394, 2.5"/5.25 IDE) converter for the toughest jobs.

    Everything do you to not lose hope and format as most of the people do. I have corrected problems of windows than most irreparable thought technicians. It's just a matter of removing the cause and repair the damaged windows files. the problem can be solved the difficulty is just to use the proper tools/software. Lately I use Avast and MBAM with 100% recovery. It IS not JUST a single unrecoverable machine!

  • the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) Message window during the closing down, labeled cmd.exe.

    I have a problem that only occurs during the closing down. When I select Shut Down I soon get a pop up that says... the application could not start correctly (0xc0000142) click on OK to close the application. window label is cmd.exe. Whether I click on the window, closing down product and eventually after say 30 seconds the alarm disappears. clicking on the alert simply displays another alert. This only occurs during the closing down. Also, I have no problem to launch cmd.exe during the normal operation, or any other program running in the command window.

  • I hear a lot about several programs for maximum protection, how can I use the firewall of cases AND stop the rest of loading or starting at startup?

    At the start of my acer aspire desktop from walmart (not saying not just because his Wal-Mart like this cant be) I noticed that mcafee takes up some space, whenever she starts up. I only need the firewall and what is needed to run just the firewall. I use panda antivirus for viruses and malwarebytes antimalware for this. I would like to know, step by step if possible... How to stop or 'block' additional cases of services from the very beginning that it interferes with the pandas scanner, spikes in CPU when I don't need to use it and occationally crashes my computer by overloading, my ram is 500 MB and it started happening a few days out of the box. Once I have shut down the computer runs faster, but I lose my firewall, so I don't really wish to go unprotected, but really not need the rest services case as I hav more to compensate. The only thing I want to know here's how to get to where I can block all mcafee services that do not affect its ' firewall service while preventing others from starting in the first place. I don't mean that I found through research on the internet because they do not explain how it's done and avoid mentioning insofar as I've seen. If the answers there, I give credit to those who has asked and answered before, I just need help. :'(c'est un windows 8.1 je crois, mais si cela semble éteint juste me dire où regarder vers le haut, de toute façon je doute qui aura une incidence sur ma question trop.)
