  Did you run any malware/spyware removal?  If not I suggest you do and if you do, try a different program in the link below.  Not a malware removal program will not catch everything.

• Failure hard drive replaced by larger windows disk hard recovery 7 starter will not work

  The Emachines Nav51 of Netbook had a hard drive fail completely. WD 160 GB instead of replacing the drive with the same size of the extra couple of dollars so I installed a 320 GB WD drive. Had a set of recovery disks shipped from Emachines, but due to the size of the disc it does not recognize the correct system.

  How to get windows 7 edition starter on this system.

  Hi Dave,.

  Thanks for the updates.

  I wish to inform you that there is a difference between the installation disc and disc upgrade.

  However, there is a solution that will allow you to install Windows 7 on the computer.

  Step 1: during the installation, when you get to the window where you enter the product key, uncheck the option that requires the product at the bottom of the window key. You can use the same disc of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

  This will install Windows 7 without product key, you must activate it later.

  Step 2: Activate the phone.

  Check out the following link and follow the instructions in the section: Activate by using the telephone.

• "C:\ Windows\System32\Nvcpl program not found"

  Since Sam. 7/16, when I cleaned up my hard drive programs, I keep getting this message whenever I open my PC:

  "C:\ Window\System32\Nvcpl program not found "."

  Apparently, by mistake I deleted this program. Don't have any idea how to restore, HELP!

  This message comes to you NVIDIA video driver software that loads whenever your system is restarted.

  It's broken, but you can fix it.

  I suggest you just reinstalling the NVIDIA drivers as follows:

  The best way to reinstall the NVIDIA software is to visit NVIDIA support web page and let your system and recommend the best software for your system or that you get the right version of the software on their web page and download the latest package of video driver for your system software and install it yourself.

  If you have already installed the correct drivers NVIDIA said page, then you should download the drivers anyway and reinstall them yourself.

  It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.

  Here is the link to the support page NVIDIA for the scan:

  http://www.nvidia.com/download/Prescan.aspx?lang=en-us

  Read the instructions, and then click the GRAPHICS DRIVERS button to start the scan.

  Let online to take a look at your video system scanner them and see what he suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they offer a new pilot.

  If following their indications do not straighten things, then follow these steps:

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
   
  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click OK, and when the system information summary appears, click Edit, select all, copy and then paste the
  information here.

  For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information.

  This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and everything seems to be
  information private for you, just delete pasted information.

  When you have the time, I could do that too:

  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• The desktop icon can not find the program

  I'm having a problem where when I click on my desktop icons they can not find the program that is associated with run.

  Most of them is related to sites Web that I often use, so I select Internet Explorer as the associated program then remember this radio button, but when I connect and get back in that I get the same error.

  I am running windows XP, I say this because I've posted this before, and I referred to a difficulty which will not work with this operating system.

  Any help would be appreciated.

• MSASCui.exe bad Image... C:\Program Files/Windows Defender/Mp.Rt.Mon.DLL is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.

  Original title : A major problem with Windows Defender... will not run :(

  When I go to run Windows Defender, I get this message: MSASCui.exe bad Image... C:\Program Files/Windows Defender/Mp.Rt.Mon.DLL is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.  Then, after clicking OK, you get another small window saying "Windows Defender User Interface has stopped working... Search for an online solution and close the program (which does nothing) or close the program.    WHY?  McAfee scan says there is nothing wrong with the computer... There is something wrong. Impossible to get websites to find, or they are very slow.

  I have VISTA Home Basic edition, Emachine, bought 32 year THAT VISTA was released this January.

  That is to say 9 - seems to work better than 8 (which took awhile to do)

  SP2 is installed and I believe that most, if not all the updates are installed.

  Oh, and no matter what flash supported won't run... little is a nice way of saying. My flash player update. It is mess up until I had to update. :(

  Try the suggestion of Azam K.  If this help not to do the following:

  https://community.McAfee.com/message/208529

  McAfee should have disabled Windows Defender.  If not, or if you did turn back on, you must turn it off.  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off   Windows Defender cannot be uninstalled from the Vista OS, but can be disabled to avoid conflict with other programs.

  You will probably need to uninstall Flash and reinstall it: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/

  I don't really like to make a negative comment on an anti-malware program, but McAfee has a reputation for sometimes bogged down operating systems.  If your problem persists, you will need to uninstall McAfee (to include using the McAfee removal tool) and see if that has any impact on your computer problems.  If there is an improvement, you may consider trying another program BC

• Windows cannot find the program to open the exe file

  I did the windows repair option by restarting then pressed f8 to get to come repair options. I did it to try to remove a number of problems of virus on my laptop. It seems that it has solved the problem, but now when I try to access one of my desktop icon shortcuts it indicates that windows cannot find the program to open the exe file. She does it with every shortcut. I can access the location of the program and then select open with and it will be opened in this way, but there is not and I have to select each time. Another option that works is a right-click on the icon and selecting 'start' and who will run the program properly. Other than simply double-click the icons automatically no longer works since I did this repair.

  Windows Startup Repair fixed my problem, but now my desktop icons not properly opens with double-click

  1. Move the cursor to the Start menu and then click on "Run".
  2. In the Open box, type msconfig
  3. Heat the Enter key
  4. Click the Startup tab
  5. Remove/disable all uninstalled applications in the startup list
