White box of "Windows features"

When I opened the box "Turn on or off windows features", I get a box empty or empty, so I can not install other features of windows, such as standard games for windows... How can I fix this.

Running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

This has been a problem on a computer that I have for some time now and I've tried all of these fixes and none of them worked.  Finally, I worked on a solution that worked for me.

I noticed after I ran the system tool update he had some problems, he could not solve.  I had some corruptions of MOM and registry entries obsolete which did not allow show me my Windows features, so I tracked the on registry entries log and deleted my registry (very carefully).  After that, I was able to view and modify my Windows features.

The newspaper is located in Windows/Logs/CBS/after you run the tool ON.  Look for lines that begin with '(f)', if these lines are followed by two lines (FF), then the problem has been resolved.  If this isn't the case, then you must manually remove the registry entry, which is located in:

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/component base maintenance/Packages

If the line begins with (w), there is an obsolete registry entry and can be deleted as well.  I don't know if it's part of the problem or not.  I have not test this, but deleted anyway.

I hope this helps.

  • Why a big white box appears on my desktop, using Windows 7, after going on the Internet?

    I have a brand new PC running Windows 7.  After that all three times I use the Internet, I get a big white box on my desk that simply will not disappear (the white box is visible once IE is closed).  After the computer restarts, it disappears but it always comes back.  One small thing that works is by clicking at the bottom right of the screen.  There's a small rectangle down there, and when I click it, the white box disappears.  If I click on the rectangle, again, white box comes back.  It is not prevent all functions, but its really annoying, especially on a brand new computer. Any info would be great!

    Hi dmbfan,

    From what I understand I think it's a page of Internet Explorer (IE) that does not close properly. I suggest you run Internet Explorer mode without modules and see if the problem repeats.

    Follow the steps to do the same;

    Step 1: Run Internet Explorer in "no Add-ons" mode

    Add-on Internet Explorer, such as ActiveX controls and browser toolbars, are used by some Web sites to provide a better browsing experience. An error may occur if an add-on is damaged or if an add-on conflicts with Internet Explorer. To determine if the error is caused by an add-on, run Internet Explorer in "no Add-ons" mode To do this, follow these steps:

    1) click Start and type Internet Explorer in the box to start the search.
    2) click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). Internet Explorer opens without Add-ons, toolbars, or plug-ins.
    (3) test Internet Explorer to verify that it works correctly.

    If the problem does not persist in no add-on mode so you can follow the steps below to use the Manage Add-ons to determine which add-on is causing the problem

    Step 2: Use the tool of management of Add-ons in Internet Explorer to individually disable each add-on to determine which add-on is causing errors. To do this, follow these steps:

    Internet explore 8

    1. open Internet Explorer 8.
    2. click on tools and then click on Manage Add-ons.
    3. in the drop-down view menu, select all add-ons to display all the modules that are installed on the computer.
    4. for each element in this list, select the add-on, and then click Disable in the information window.
    5. When you have disabled all the items in this list, click OK.
    6. exit and then restart Internet Explorer.
    7. If the problems do not recur, repeat steps 1 to 3.
    8. click on activate for a simple add-on.
    9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until you determine which add-on causes errors occur.

    After you have used this process to determine which add-on causes errors, you can disable this add-on. Or, you can uninstall the software that installs the add-on. We also recommend that you contact the software vendor that provided the add-on for additional troubleshooting and support.

    For more information on the above steps, you can access the link below.

  • The "Windows features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7

    When I click on turn on or off Windows features in the programs and features Control Panel, the Windows features dialog box is empty, no functionality is displayed. What should I do?

    Thank you buddy, but sfc.exe/scannow not worked and I faced another error! (windows resource protection could not start the repair service).

    Finally, I found the solution:
    (1) If you receive the error "Registry space" low, set the size limit of the registry to "unlimited":
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    Key: RegistrySizeLimit
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0xffffff (4294967295)
    (2) restart
    (3) as administrator, open a command prompt and run "SFC/scannow". The command should complete successfully and when errors have been detected, they should be corrected.
    Follow the steps and good luck!
  • Remove white box in the green box of my photos.

  • Why make a white box instead of a log in box and others...?

    When I try to click on some sites that have something pop up to log and so on, instead it shows a white box.

    For example, I tried to log on kinklive. Here's how it is on Firefox before and after I click on "log in".

    http://imgur.com/a/4CGzV

    And it's here on Google Chrome after I click on "log in".

    http://imgur.com/wc3rayZ

    So why do the white box on Firefox?

    Hello

    You use a nightly build of Firefox which is intended only for testing. However, I recommend that you download the latest version of Firefox, or try reinstalling your nightly build.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Since the last update, when a new tab opens in the beginning, there are white boxes with what looks like the browser... history one box per each site visited.

    When a new tab is opened, it is filled with white cells that resemble the browser history. Each white box like a PIN in an icon grey at the top left and X into an icon grey at the top right. The bottom has a white bar indicating the name of the site, like "google calendar".
