SysWOW64 and Question OpenGL error

OK, so for about 2-3 weeks I had a problem with OpenGL graphic running programs, usually to get Visual errors (missing, misplaced textures images etc.) and messages during the installation of programs such as Lego Digital Designer indicating that the OpenGL is 'missing '. This occurred very shortly after the last, I tried to update my graphics AMD Radeon drivers.

Today, I did a search of system to see if I was missing the file. I actually came with 4 results, System32, two of them downloaded AMD drivers and the other in the "SysWOW64" folder I was suspicious of it because it was stuck in my smart Norton Firewall. In addition, the file was closed as being created on June 19, 2014, which is about when I started noticing problems. I did the research and got two answers as to what this record was:

Answer 1. : SysWOW64 is a legitimate Windows file necessary for 32 bit running on 64-bit Windows 7 (I'm under 64-bit, of course).

Answer 2. : SysWOW64 is a Trojan which messes with windows functions and creates mistakes posing for other programs.

I tried a manual solution to remove SysWOW64 files in safe mode, but I couldn't move anything to recycling. Before I could destroy my computer, can someone tell me which answer is true?

Also, anyone know how I can fix the mistakes of OpenGL if SysWOW64 isn't the problem?

Of course, there is a small chance of malware disguising or hiding in the file in question, but

false positives are quite common with anti-virus programs. Norton is pretty well known.

If you downloaded the drivers from the AMD website, there should be no need to worry about malware.

-Try to run a check with Malwarbytes.

Sometimes you just have to disable the firewall and AV temporarily when dealing with stuff

who is blocked by AV.

Or... go through the hoops to permit an exception to everything which bypasses that you know is trustworthy.

Malwarebytes: Download free anti-malware

There are several generic files for the AMD and Nvidia graphics that live in System32 and SysWOW64. Some will not remove these are Windows system files, but there is a small

possibility a malware blocks their deletion (or lives here because the file cannot be

deleted).

(In the past (XP) Windows for AMD and Nvidia graphics file might be deleted, but)

were relocated when Windows restarts. Win7 can do similar).

-L' safest option to deletion, is to move or rename the files before deleting. If a new file is installed by Windows when you restart it, or by the drivers you install,

You can safely remove the old file.

-Generally, the only time you will need to get down and dirty with removal of the graphics driver is then

current driver installation is corrupted, or when switching between AMD and Nvidia.

One of the better programs for this is Fusion driver.

Treexy external page

-First uninstall the drivers via programs and features - restart.

-Performance pilot merger and taking care to select only the AMD graphics drivers, allow fusion driver

to remove entries from the registry and the remaining files - restart.

-Only install graphic driver components you are using (for example - if you are not using HDMI do not install the)

Drivers audio HD from AMD), and... reset.

-If you don't have already done - do not allow the "Optional" of graphics driver update

Updates of Windows to install the graphics drivers.

This update is updated frequently, and if you let Windows updates install automatically

It may corrupt drivers.

-I have never had a problem with OpenGL and don't know what led to problems, but windows

errors can be misleading. "OpenGL is missing" could result from a number of issues,

even if the file is not missing.  An installation program or file corrupted are two examples.

-The problem could also be linked to the project that you are working with this software.

I've never used this software, but when problems similar Oblivion modding (lack of textures, etc.), were due to the error of the user.

-In addition, depending on the age of the graphics card, new drivers may not be the best for your

system with this software. If a previous pilot worked properly, reinstall that.

  • HP LaserJet 9050: 49.4C06 and 49.4C02 error on LaserJet 9050 s

    I manage several computer labs on my campus, and two of them contain three HP LaserJet 9050 s.

    During the two semesters, I saw an increase in the number of errors 49.4C06 on my 9050 s.  The first thing I looked at was firmware.  I updated the firmware on all printers (Datecode: 20150211 08.270.1) and the problem persisted.

    I finally reduced the problem to PowerPoints that use the font "Arial Rounded MT Bold", and are printed using any PowerPoint printing other than 'Full Page Slides' layout.  Students commonly use the "3 slides" or "6 slides" options when printing their PowerPoints instructor.

    It is interesting if 'print' the PowerPoint using the AdobePDF problem page layout using Acrobat Pro and print these PDFs again the SAME error occurs.  When the error occurs also depends on where in the document, the first instance of the police occurs.  If the font is to the first slide, the error occurs immediately.  However, if the police are several slides deeply the doesn't error until the page that appears in the police is ready to print on the printer.  I saw this problem yesterday afternoon when the first 12 slides of a PowerPoint correctly, print two pages of a six print layout, and then the error occurred.

    Print servers are currently using print PCL 6 universal driver "HP" version dated '61.130.4.12834' '2012.04.24 '.  I tried also to print these PowerPoint presentations directly to printing in question using direct IP printing with the same driver "HP Universal printing PCL 6" but version "61.175.1.18849" dated "2014.11.20" with similar results.

    I share this information here for others who seek to solve this problem.  In addition, you want advice and perhaps in the hope that someone from HP can see this thread, contact me, and we can work to get this problem solved with an another firmware update.  I have two examples of PowerPoint presentations that is known to cause this problem on all three of my 9050 s if someone from HP to contact me for them.

    Everyone thank you for your time and good luck.

    I suggest that you try to configure the PostScript driver for one of these printers and printing the same document and see what happens.

  • After restarting windows and then no error in config/system is finally windows starts successfully with no problems quo. __

    "windows couldnot start because the following file is missing" c:/windows/system32/config/system.
    This message appears at the first start, but when I press ctrl + Alt + Delete, restart windows and then no error in config/system does finally come windows starts successfully without problem usually. I searched on the internet that all solutions are given if windows XP does not start. But in my case after restart only a single window loads successfully. I'm dubious before using the recovery console.
    Please help everyone,
    no case I found the solution to this particular problem.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes pulling and buttons power).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else. If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).


    Never, never, never start with the support engineer technical 'expert' who are hired by Microsoft to implement the KB307545.  You are likely to be in for a frustrating waste of time and might just make things worse.

    Always, always, always start with a chkdsk with first error correction.

    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so corruption of file system must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.
    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.
    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).
    A CD of XP Recovery Console is not the same as the recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.
    If you have any bootable CD to run the XP Recovery Console or that you are not sure what type of bootable CD you have, can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).
    If you need instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console, we can predict that too (just ask).
    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:
    C:\WINDOWS
    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:
    Chkdsk /r
    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:
    CHKDSK c: /r
    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.
    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.
    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer and the report with your progress.
