System cannot find sfc.exe

Hello, I tried to restore some 32 files that my task manager was not working because he was missing a file called "taskmgr.exe". So I opened command prompt and typed in 'sfc/scannow' and you press on enter. And he says that the system is not: C/Windows/system32/sfc.exe. I had the same message for the Task Manager when I try to open it, it's like all the exe files are moved from the system32 folder. How can I return the sfc.exe file?

I run windwos Vista.

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

  • 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)

  • System cannot find the specified file "[path]" \hpzshl.ice_suffix.. ". exe"on Windows 8.1

    I've updated my OS to Windows 7 64-bit edition of Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit, and when you try to reinstall the software and the driver for my printer HP Officejet J4580 all-in-one I get all sorts of errors. It worked perfectly on Windows 7.

    I get the most common error is: System cannot find the specified file "[path]" \hpzshl.ice_suffix.. ". exe', as well as the facility is abandoned.

    I tried a lot of solutions from the HP Web site and these forums, but my problem is still there.

    I already tried the long solution presented here:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-install-Setup/install-error-quot-the-system-cannot-f...

    and

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04206080

    I even found the directory where installation has been decompressed and copied to the desktop, but the error persists.

    I need the complete software because I need to use my printer Officejet scanner, so I can't just simply print drivers.

    I need desperate help on getting this new work.

    Specifications of the computer:

    CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4820 K Quad-Core 3.70 GHz 10 MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011

    : DDR3 memory / 1866 MHz Quad Channel 16GB (4GBx4)

    Printer: HP Officejet J4580 all-in-one; connected via USB

    OS: 8.1 Pro 64 bit Windows

    GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200 series

    I finally solved it by myself after many hours of pain.

    I clean any installation of HP from my computer using the HP Officejet software and driver removal utility:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=MP-110151-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4158&product=3645100&sw_lang=

    After the computer restarts, I moved on the desktop, the installation directory unpacked that HP printer install wizard for Windows had previously downloaded and launched.

    I deleted all files in the directory %Temp%.

    I disabled McAfee antivirus real time and Windows Deffender analysis.

    I ran the setup.exe in the installation directory in my office.

    The installation is smoothly and completed. I have already tested the printer and all features function normally.

    I hope these steps help someone with similar problems to get the software installed.

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    mrsjeffyg, I recommend that you completely uninstall the printer from the computer. Make sure that all copies of the printer and the associated files are removed from programs and features, the Manager of devices, and the devices and printers. If you are connected with a USB cable, make sure that the cable is removed from the printer for the duration of the present.

    Click START and type "%temp%" and press ENTER. This will open the temporary folder, and I want that you delete all the files that you can here. Some will not be able to be deleted, so ignore these files.

    Restart your computer.

    Follow this link here and reinstall it from the Full_Feature Driver and software.

  • Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file. Even after restarting the Printer Spooler service

    I tried all of the suggestions posted and have had no success in restarting my print spooler. Help, please.

    Original title: I tried to restart the print spooler as directed, and he returned the error 2: the system cannot find the specified file. He does that and is it fixable?

    @Winston Microsoft M committed Support Engineer 'expert '.

    I can see your response that you did take the time to reproduce the problem and then try your own ideas to check if the problem persists.

    Here is what I suggest to you, so you can learn how XP actually works:

    Start in the XP Recovery Console or Safe Mode, so Windows File Protection does not run.

    Rename your file c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe you can remember (such as spoolsv.bak).  Now, the file is "absent".

    Restart normally.

    Then try to start the Print Spooler Service and you will see the error.

    So why don't you follow your own advice and run SFC and troubleshooting automated (as you suggested) and check if the problem persists.

    Please report your results.

    When you see that it does help and that SFC does not replace the missing or damaged file (in the system32 folder) and that the automated troubleshooter does not help, will sing it a different song (we hope).

    Don't forget to rename your spoolsv.bak to spoolsv.exe when you're done messing around autour.
