What is the NPE.exe file?

Something happened to my counter top and I can't open any program. Whenever I try to ope frpm my counter top, a dialog box opens asking me to choose what program I should use? My computer has a virus? I run a scan with Norton and it can't find any trhreats.

If you learn to use Bing, your will find that the NPE is Norton Power Eraser, a malware removal tool.

Since you are using Norton, maybe you should check the forum users Symantec.com.

  • What is the purpose of the ame.exe file

    What is the purpose of the ame.exe file.  It has been on my computer by a technician who claimed to be from microsoft

    Given that no one I know (and certainly not me) remembers the product key 25 character Microsoft for the Windows installation, I suspect that you were told by the appellant to seek a place of your "license".  Where were who told you to watch?

  • the csrss.exe file is missing

    I was downloading addons for a game on the internet and then later the next time I turned on my computer, it said I was missing the csrss.exe file and so I searched for it looking to see if I somehow accidentally moved and he didn't so I was wondering if there is anyway I might get this file without reformat my computer and reinstall windows xp

    How can I get a new file csrss.exe

    This confirms my suspicions you have (or had) malware. This version of csrss.exe is for service Pack 2 of Windows XP.
    You really need to run MBAM.
    But despite this, if you run at the SP2 level, it is unclear what might make its way onto your PC. There are some out there extremely difficult to detect rootkits. You find you might need to perform a clean installation. If you would rather fight infection, you can always look for guided help:
  • How to obtain the bcupdate2.exe file? __

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    If you get a message stating that the file NTLDR is missing, it is unlikely that the bcupdate.exe file will solve the problem, but you can download it from my SkyDrive if you want.  I've never used it to fix anything and if you see this message, it's probably not your problem.

    You should also start a new thread/question for your question - no one is going to look at this thread that is older than a year.  Start a new thread/question in order to get some attention.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, it cannot save the file with an extension (for example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys) then you will need to add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called rundll32 when the name of the file should really be called rundll32.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work

    You have to put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  • Problems with the sound on my PC (i.e., no noise at all). m ' said that the Sndvol32.exe file is missing

    I have problems with the sound on my PC (i.e., no noise at all).  He told me that the Sndvol32.exe file is missing.  I went through the 'fix - it' and the solution is to extract the file from the Windows XP CD.  My PC did not come with it - otherwise, how can I get this file?  Thanks in advance!

    Most of the people do not have a genuine XP bootable CD.   This is good advice if you have a true bootbale CD, but given that the majority of people have never seen one in their life, why start there?  That's why this kind of troubleshooting tips kill me...

    The fix it will not help you.

    This will help you:

    I downloaded a copy of the file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    You have to put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

    Of course the file must never be missing, so something has badly haywire.

    If the system is working properly, what do you think has happened since the last time, that he did not work properly?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Each file type is in a different format.  The formats are different
    essentially for two reasons:

    1. the files contain any other type of information. For
    example, an mp3 file contains a music and a xls file contains a
    worksheet. The music and spreadsheets are very different things and one
    a unique type of guy would not work for both.

    2. There is also the example of the types of files that are very different, even
    Although basically they both contain the same type of data. For example,.
    a doc file is a file created by Microsoft Word processor (or
    some compatible programs) and a wpd file is a text file
    created by WordPerfect. This is because Word and WordPerfect are two
    very different programs, with very different characteristics. Designers

  • Cannot run the install.exe file...

    I have a PC laptop toshiba a500-025 with the following specifications:

    4 GB of ram
    Radeon ati hd4570 512 MB
    2.1 intel centrino
    Vista 64-bit
    I downloaded assassins creed... and when I click on the install.exe file, it says the following: "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows that you are running.
    check your computers sysytem information if you require a version 86(32 bit) x or x 64(64 bit) of the program and communicate with the editor.
    Help... Ive waited a long time for this game... downloaded and now it does not work!

    Do you have this of Direct2Drive?  Basically, the original Assassin's Creed v1.0 is compatible not 64-bit.  You need to have the v1.02 patch.  Available here.  Although I don't think you can install the hotfix without first installing the game.  If you need a more recent copy of the game.  If you buy it on Steam, it will not work.  But if you have the Direct2Drive version, you might have missed the system requirements specifying that you need a 32 bit OS to play.

  • I am trying to reset windows xp back to the original settings, but miss me the winnt32.exe file. Where can I go to get the download

    I don't have a winnt32.exe in the i386 folder. My computer behaves very strange sometimes. It drags, freezes and load things on that I do not click.

    You can download SP3 from HERECOMPUTER. Save it to your desktop. Use an extraction of files such as WnRar software to extract the service pack 3 you downloaded to extract the files in the C drive. Once the files have been extracted, click Start > run and paste the command below > click Ok. This should install the recovery console.

    C:\\i386\winnt32.exe cmdcons

    In addition, the i386 folder will contain the winnt32.exe file you requested.
