• Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

  Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:

  The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

  Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.

  I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.

  I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.

  The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.

  I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.

  For the record, here is some information on my system:

  XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)

  c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

  I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...

  Thank you!

  I have a machine with the same problem

  XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600

  I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).

  It does not, but a reboot is required because the system is running on the old dll

  MSTSC.exe works now

  Thanks for the info!

  Hello

  1A Windows XP installed properly on your computer?

  2. If it is installed, you face any problem with Windows XP?

  I suggest you try the methods mentioned below and check if it helps:

   

  Method 1:

  Try to do a Scan SFC (System File Checker). The scan will look bad system files and will attempt to fix them, if possible.

  (a) click the Start button.
  (b) type: cmd.exe in the search results.
  (c) right click the cmd.exefile and select 'run as administrator '.
  (d) in the CMD window, type:sfc/scannowand press the Enter key.
  (e) restart and see if that solves the problem.

  Hello

  It seems that there are a few system files that have trouble.  One of them being mstsc.exe, I wish you find spyware or infection by the virus first, before you try the next step.  Please see the sticky thread in the security forum.  MVP offers some good advice how to remove these problems.

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistasecurity/thread/fa30853d-719a-4265-9e7b-9287567d31e3

  If everything is clean, we will try a repair installation to replace the problem files and also to ensure that other system files are good.

  The 'repair' installation (upgrade on-site) will not affect your installed programs or data.  Just make sure that you are already connected to your computer when you start the installation.  Do not boot from the DVD.

  If the installation does not start automatically when you insert the DVD, run setup.exe from your DVD player.

  • When the Setup program starts and the install now screen, click install now.
  • Note When you receive the important Get updates for installation message, click go online.
  • Click upgrade when the which type of installation you want? appears

  Please let us know if this solves the problem for you.

• The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

  Hello

  I get the following message appears when I try to start a remote desktop connection (the shortcut target is % windir%\system32\mstsc.exe).

  This used up until one of my pc, including all upgrades of Windows reinstalled.

  It is on a Windows 7 pc with all the service packs and updates.

  The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

  I have a Dutch version of Windows. The mstsc.exe.MUI file is available in C:\Windows\System32\nl-NL

  It was not available in C:\Windows\System32\nl, but after that I copied it on I still get the same message.

  I even copied the entire content of the... \nl_NL folder in the... weather folder and still no luck.

  Isearched the internet for more solutions but nothing has solved the problem.

  Thank you

  OK problem solved.

  I ran the scan of the updated and all updates already installed.

  I checked the list of updates installed and already had KB2592687, KB2574819 installed.

  However, when I looked under installed updates, it showed KB2592687 and 3 others in English while I have a Dutch version of Windows.

  

  So I decided to uninstall the updates English 3 so I could reinstall it again.

  "Note that after uninstalling these 3, Remote Desktop already worked again.

  Apparently, these 3 uninstalling uninstalled a lot more, because after a reboot, there were 10 updates available instead of only 3 that I uninstalled). And after installing them and another restart there was even more updates available. Overall, it took three update sessions and restarts all up-to-date again.

  Although the list of installed updates again 3 updates in English, Remote Desktop works now. So obviously something has went wrong with one of the previous sessions of Windows Update.

• Strange files display in Windows XP

  Hi all... I tried searching the forums for this issue, but I couldn't find anything. I have a Sansa View 8 GB. When I plug it via USB to my laptop which runs Windows Vista, all the files is displayed correctly. However, when I connect it to another computer running Windows XP (SP2), it displays a different set of records. For example, in the 'Music' folder, any files that are actually on the Sansa appear. Instead, there are folders that appear to be pre-loaded music factory, if I remember. I deleted these files in the early days, but when it is connected to a Windows XP computer, it's as if they are still there... at least the files are; None of the actual mp3 files are located in the folders. But none of my music files to display, and when I add files in the 'Music' folder when you are connected to the Windows XP computer, they do not appear when I then connect it to the laptop Windows Vista. Anyone has any idea of what could be the cause and how to fix it? I wish I could use my Sansa on two of my computers, if possible. Or at least to work properly on the Windows XP computer and use it on this computer only if necessary.

  Everyone knows about this strange phenomenon? If so, how to solve it? Thank you!

  Sounds like a problem of PSG vs SMC for me. If you have the USB mode from your point of view the 'Auto-detect' value, it could connect in a mode on a PC and the other on the other PC (automatic detection by default of the PSG when possible). Files transferred in a mode are not visible on your PC when you are connected to the other mode. It's normal. Strange, but normal. It is one of the oddities PSG vs SMC shortly.

  MTP mode is pretty much Windows only (and the drivers are part of Windows Media Player 10 +, and if you don't have WMP 10 + installed on both computers, which would explain why your drive is switching modes), while the MSC is a generic mode compatible with (I think) all operating systems. If you still have all your music on your PC as well as the view, you must reformat the drive, consider assigning MSC and reload all your music. MTP mode is only necessary if you have DRM files, like the DRM licenses transfer in MSC mode.

• The following file is missing: Windows\system32\comfig\system__and my CD player does not work.

  lately, my computer sony notebook runs very slowly.  I used the foctory equipped recovery feature to recover my c drive because it has very little space left even if I moved all my personal ducumentation D-Drive. However, after the recovery, Windows XP started by asking my timezone and the name of the computer, and then turned to a blue background with white letters on it and then, restart the computer again.  When I use the F8 key, I received the message above; my computer, CD-ROM drive does not work most of the time, so I can't use the repair with munufacturing CD feature.  Can you help me?

  Hi Springna,

  It seems that the recovery feature, that you used to restore the computer to factory settings failed. As you have already restored the computer to factory settings, we recommend to start once more to restore the computer to its factory settings and check if the problem persists.

  By chance, if your CD/DVD drive works, then you will need to follow the steps in the following article to resolve this issue:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545

• File not found '\windows\system32\winload.exe"(0xc000000e)

  When I try to start with all of the hard drives, other my (new) disc hung on startup, I get the above error.

  My computer has recently undergone a complete failure (delivered across the country, arrived looking like a vase inside a concrete box). As a result, I lost my boot drive and had to replace my mother/cpu/ram card. I had six hard drives, and one of the other formatted and reinstalled Windows 7 above. When the installation program has been finished with the CD and rebooted, it gave me the error. I disconnected all other drives and rebooted and it started and completed the installation. After I got Windows, I connected the other readers, they gave and works wonderfully - until I rebooted. Now, every time that I reboot, it's the same story. It is not the end of the world; my computer works at least once and I can access my drives, but fiddling with the SATA cables, each time that I reboot will be really irritating.

  Has anyone else had this happen to them, and/or know how to fix?

  Thank you

  Geoff

  Visit the website of the manufacturer of your hard drive and download their diagnostic tool. I suspect one or more of your hard disks begins to fail. I hope I could help

• Windows 2k8R2 - receiving error when you connect (MMC cannot open the file: C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc)

  Windows 2008 R2 - I just started getting this when I connect, and also when I try to manage the machine:

  MMC cannot open the file:

  C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc

  It is perhaps because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you don't have sufficient access to the file.

  It always worked before and work for other users simply not me on this particular area. It is a production company, and I need a quick resolution please. Thanks in advance.
