  1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
  2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.

• Options of the control panel do not work

  I need serious computer help. My problems started when a dvd that played without any problem has stopped working. It is said that this dvd is not allowed to read in this region. Since then, several things happened. System Restore, backup, and recovery are not at all when I click on them. Firewall Windows did the same thing. My system is empty and I can't restore it to am earlier version as they are empty as well. Also does not respond within Control Panel: Windows update center maintenance, system, Power Options, back up and restore.

  I have run tests antivirus, malware, spyware, registry and memory, but no problems are detected.

  I use a computer dell laptop with factory installed windows 7 Home premium (no recovery disk or installation) and safety of webroot.

  Suggestions?

  Jamie

  Hello Jamie75,

  Run a System File Checker to see if you have corrupted system files.

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Restart your system

  Now run the command chkdsk:
  1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
  2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
  3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
  4. check your hard disk for errors:
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Then see if you still have problems with your system.

  Thank you

• Windows Explorer Crash when using the control panel

  This is the type of an interesting question that happens to me only sporadically and usually only to a cold start.

  When I shut down the computer completely for cleaning or install something, when restarting, open the Control Panel causes Windows Explorer to crash (note that this is not Internet Explorer).
  
  It restarts immediately, but I lost some of the icons in the taskbar - especially the icon Sound Max.

  If I do a reboot it comes back and I can use the Control Panel normally. Tried to remove items from the start menu, as obviously something is in conflict when it starts but it is like shooting in the dark to find the good start. I even reinstalled W7 with a lot of attention, but it happens once again from time to time. I ran sfc/scannow several times and all is well.

  As long as I don't do a cold reboot it will work very well for weeks without a hitch. (Please no comments about just don't).

  Someone else has a similar problem? My specs are lower and it has not changed when I updated to the latest version of the bios so I suspect something on W7, and I strongly suspect the driver SoundMax which is in fact very old for W7X64.

  All updates are underway, including the latest which was supposed to increase stability for W7 X 64. I had added this update 4/28. An accident 29/4 good. I uninstalled the update and re-installed directly from the microsoft link. Sometimes it works, but not in this case.

  I studied all the information mentioned in the error codes and most of the time, it led to speculation of different people to different causes. I've read that it could be a conflict with the driver Sound Max, this is why I suspect as well that it might involve the Nvidia GPU driver. Changed the GPU driver and no joy. Whenever I have ask W7 to check a solution that is not found. So, it happens once in a while, but there is nothing wrong? At least Microsoft knows something is happening--evidence of the update.

  Hello

  Make sure that Windows Update is turned on and install the update KB980408 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980408) - April 2010 stability and reliability update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 is available .

  Issues that this update fixes this update improves the stability and reliability of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 in various scenarios. This update addresses the following issues:

  • Windows Explorer crashes and then restarts when you access a third-party Control Panel item.

  This update solves the problem?

  If this isn't the case, please download this reg from my SkyDrive file:
  http://CID-128fc518635be2dc.SkyDrive.live.com/self.aspx/.public/Ms%20Foren/registry/WER%5E_Explorer.reg

  and double click on the file to import.

  When Explorer crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service creates a dmp under C:\Localdumps . Please download the file to your public Skydrive folder and post the link here. I take to the dump, maybe I can see the cause.

• Miss me the windows system32 rundll32.exe. I can't access the Add/Remove in the control panel.

  original title: missing file

  Miss me the windows system32 rundll32.exe. I can't access the Add/Remove in the control panel.

  I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system

  I checked for viruses

  I purchase software to remove etc and REG files.

  Now that the devil do?

  Thank you

  If this

  I tried to start - run with my c/d operating system

  means that you have tried to use sfc/scannow from start > run, your experience is not surprising.  This 'solution' is often suggested by people who don't really understand what this command does.  It does not help to restore a missing rundll32.exe file.

  For what is

  I checked for viruses

  What is the name and version of your anti-virus application?  When (approximately) their subscription expires? What other antimalware applications installed?  What other antimalware applications you used recently to scan your computer?

  If you have not yet used the "software to remove the REG files and etc." return for refund or throw it out.  "Registry cleaners", 'tuners', etc. are not useful.  If you used to "clean" the registry, use its "undo" feature (if it has one) to restore the registry.  Longtime MS MVP PA Bear:

  TIP: If you still think again your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, enlarged, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions. See also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx

  What probably happened is that your antivirus application deleted or quarantined in your file rundll32.exe thinking he was infected.  He could have, but probably not.  In any case, read the post that begins, "That 'solution' is not on my list." in the following thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/systemrundllexe-not-found/6e30aff2-a88e-4d86-a654-753d54f632d1 you can also read the rest of the posts in this thread.

  Note that c:\windows\system32\dllcache is a hidden folder, but you who type in the address bar of Windows Explorer (or copy and paste), the folder should open anyway.

  Assuming you manage to restore rundll32.exe, download, install, update and run full scans (not at the same time) with each of the following free tools.
