Windows cannot access anything WHATSOEVER. Please read and help me!

The computer goes to market very well and everything, but it then automatically displays "Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\msspi.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search." This computer was only randomly we gave, with nothing other than the tower. I was just going to clean by removing unwanted programs and others, but every time I click on Add / Remove Programs, it says "C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. So I tried to do a system restore, but I don't know if this is possible without a Windows CD (which we don't). And whenever I try to open Firefox, it says open with: program recommended, etc... so I click on Firefox and he invites me to save an exe file on the Local disk, which I do, but it does not open. Whenever I try to open all the files, MSWord or MP3, JPEG files that are saved on the computer, he essentially told me that they do not exist. So obviously, this computer can not do anything. Can someone tell me what is the problem and how to solve? I want to just fees to the computer factory State. Thank you very much!

The file msspi.exe is probably a malicious who resided once in your system32 folder. Have you had a recent infection and run an anti-malware program? If so, you are experiencing the consequences of infection. (Of course, it is possible that there is another infection on your PC as well.)

Once you have backed up all your data (ask if you need advice), you can restore your associations, etc. First if all, follow the instructions here:

http://FILExt.com/FAQ/broken_exe_association.php

You will need a PC work which is online and one of these USB flash drives to transfer the file.

The reg. XP referenced on the above page is the same as this one:

http://www.dougknox.com/XP/file_assoc.htm

(That would be the ninth link "EXE File Association Fix.)

Chances are that other associations can be broken. These patches can be found here:

http://Technorati.com/technology/it/article/remove-after-effects-of-virusesmalwarespyware-and/page-2/

Really, you should run a full scan with the latest version of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware:

http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

(It is not necessary to activate the full when the choice. This way you will get it for free. The free version should be all you need.)

And then, if you REALLY want your PC to have his "fresh out the factory condition" (perhaps not necessary, but a valid choice), you must follow the directions of the manufacturer provided. If you need advice, let us know the brand, model and model number of your PC.

Heh. Just re-read the post. Given that this PC has been given to you, you should really flatten and rebuild, which means that it returns to its original state. I'll leave these instructions (assuming that their computers are not used). You really don't want to take any risk with a PC being used (for example, a PC that is part of the "botnet", spewing more tons of spam, keylogging programs that follow your identities, pornography, etc.).

Edit: For best results, follow the instructions of Robear Dyer here:

  • I don't even know what to call this problem with Windows 7! Can someone please read and help?

    Hi all

    What is c?

    I have half a dozen problems with Windows 7 right now, but let's start with the most irritating.  Screens disappear and reappear.

    I'll open a window and then open another (at the same time) for a reason, and if I don't have my mouse entirely on whatever the window, it "disappears".  That is, it will become transparent with just sort of 'framework' around him.  The content is gone.  But they come back.  It makes the idea behind 'Windows' laughable.

    And try to block and the copy is a nightmare of one window to the other.  Or even on the same page.  I try to block something and move away, and the "block" disappears.

    I thought it might be my mouse, which is your ordinary Microsoft Optical Mouse 2V.0, I went to devices and printers and formatted my mouse (I've never done this before) and my Microsoft Keyboard and recorded.  Nothing wrong with the keyboard.  The mouse just kept screwing as it did before, and I used your basic standard settings - nothing fancy or different.

    Now I write in this little place and nothing is to move, the mouse behaves - what IS IT?

    I am getting this problem in Windows 7 because honestly, I have no idea where else to put it.

    And I have just started with the problems.  Can you please, please, please help?

    I can't help but think that all the problems are related, so I'll put one little summary of what else is happening.

    1 out of nowhere part, I got a notice saying that I had to change the settings to allow Windows update immediately and without my permission (I think that's what he said and I know that there is a setting in devices and printers? or something like that where I allow edits without review)

    2. I can't convince my printer there is NO residential group and that I am the administrator and the only person using the computer.  This screw with my settings (wired) network too.

    3. I have a four-in-one printer (print, copy, scan and fax).  I am at home lately and will be years apparently, so I decided that I wanted to get the printer scanner and fax.  He was already printing and copying.  I turned off, unplugged and did not know that I had to uninstall all software and then reinstall it.  I don't have the time to do it again; I want a clean computer before you set up the printer.  Well, it seems to create small problems in the world.  I keep getting directed to devices and printers, but I want to read all the information before I uninstall just in case.

    4 modules!  They are the bane of my existence.  I do not understand what they are doing when I go and look at them individually. I tried to use IE10 without addons and it's just a big headache.

    5 constantly getting a yellow banner at the bottom of my screen asking me if I want to run * some * and I wanted to know the risks involved.

    6. constantly asked about Active X.  What is it and what does want of me?

    7. all of a sudden an hour ago, my computer has decided to go to "sleep" mode and wants me to change user for myself and when I do, it says it is locked, but I hit the beautiful image and it opens on the regular Windows screen.  WHY?  I don't use a screen saver and I got 20 minutes sleep mode which is just the entire dark screen until I touch the mouse.  No more!

    Guys do you see why I'm going crazy?  Help, please!  I spend all my days this last week and one before that trying to move things.  All this because I wanted my printer to scan.

    Click Start or press the Windows key and type mouse but do not hit Enter. Search change how your mouse above control panel section.

    When this new pane opens, uncheck the Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse. Click OK at the bottom to save your changes.

  • Cannot access anything whatsoever.

    I have a pop internet security window that analysis because I don't know what and I cannot access anything in the administrator account on my computer. Also the sercurity in Panel tab won't let me not activate at all. I get an error message in the lower right pane, saying: he can not access to this. And I say mostly everything.  I'm not computer, big words and whatnot may not make sense to me. Also, on my administrator account real, I have a .exe program named (6vx9p4gkqs.exe) If this is useful, who keeps constantly ask my permissions, where of course I continued to decline. It flashes permanently on the lower tab below. I don't know what other information you might need in order to help me, but please ask and I will try my best to post it to the top. Help, please.

    response of ahaap is based on the assumption that you have Avast * and * another product of security installed, given that you have posted on the MSE forum. You do not specify which tool you used by Microsoft to analyze, but I guess that's the Microsoft - http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx - Security Scanner that does not install. So this isn't your problem.

    I'll pass your question to the Windows box of responses under the heading security, privacy, and user accounts.
    You will find assistance in ensuring that the detected malicious program has been completely removed and to repair the damage, which he did.

    3. when the problem started?

    4. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Step 1:

    You can start in safe mode with network and see if the problem occurs in the account.

    You can see the following link to start in safe mode with network.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Note: Restart the computer to boot into normal mode.

  • COMPUTER IS IN MARKET, BUT MY SCREEN IS EMPTY AND CANNOT ACCESS ANYTHING WHATSOEVER

    My laptop HP Pavillion dvr-1200 CTO has a huge problem. It will not display anything other than a model fixed rotation of blocks of colors - it goes from red to blue, to green for a sort of wih shadow grey verticle lines, each for about ten Secord, repeating again and again. You can hear the computer start-up, and you can get to the start page to know when to press enter and when to scan fingerprints; It comes as I can get without seeing. I had the problem for about two months; misfortune is after a week or so, I decided to plug in an external monitor to it and got a complete table, with everything except the display works fine. Unfortunately, hastily excited, I decided to be a graphics driver issue, which would mean simply an update or a new set of drivers. Large. But I accidentally deleted the drivers that I had until I downloaded the new, and the extrnal screen I used erased. Now, I have no idea what to do! Any suggestions...?

    Hello, @postalbbouy

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see you had a problem with the display of laptops, which had bypassed you it with an external. In trying to fix the laptop you removed the graphics driver and have now no poster.

    I want to help you with this. However, with the description of the screen of the laptop looks like you will need to replace. Ways to get the graphics driver, all require a form any Visual to do.

    I recommend you contact the HP support by phone to see what repair or replacement options are available.
