Window Popping Up With 'viruses' Programs Stopped Running
Mar 30, 2010
A few months ago, I had that lovely virus called Antivirus 2010. It got so bad that eventually, whenever I turned my Intel Pentium laptop on, the screen would just be black and there would be nothing except the virus window popping up with all the 'viruses' I had on my computer. Of course, a few other programs stopped running normally. The dock and widgets were gone. I had to create associations, which I never succeeded at, and this was all becoming way too frustrating. But I got by...
Last night, I decided to connect my HDMI cord to the laptop and watch a few episodes of Lost with my friends. Now, the HDMI button ('F8') wasn't working properly after my little mishap a few months earlier. When I pressed it, the usual, nice little pictures of different laptop-tv settings did not appear. Instead, I tried FN+ALT+F8. This seemed to work. But after we finished, I couldn't get the screen to return to normal again. It's all fuzzy and big, as if I was still connected to the tv.
** I tried personlization, and fizing screen resolution and stuff. It made things a little better, but the screen STILL isn't the same. Funny thing though. When I use print screen, the screen looks NORMAL. This morning, I rebooted my laptop. (Probably the stupidest thing I've ever done) I thought everything would be back to normal, but the screen is still the same, the nice little extras about Vista I was missing before have not returned, and my internet connection is gone.
I am considering a purchase of a new PC running Windows Vista 64 bit. I have some questions.
Will some of my 32 bit programs run on Vista 64 bit? I am thinking about Firefox 3 and Thunderbird 2 especially. Does Vista 64 have a compatibility mode where I can run 32 bit applications? If yes, does the compatibility mode actually work?
I am planning on some multimedia work recording music and video. I know that I need a second hard drive. One for the OS and one to record to. The model of PC that I am considering has a RAID configuration using two hard drives. How would these drives appear to me in Vista 64 bit? As one drive? As two? If it is one drive, can I set a partition to have the two drives I need? If so, are partitions difficult to setup?
What are your opinions on the 64 bit system? Is this the future and eventually everything will be going 64 bit, or will it fade out as a good idea that never happened? The PC I am looking at is expensive and I wish to know if it will be useful for a long time.
Is Vista 64 going to be the current OS and more and more companies will be supporting it? Is Vista going to be around for a long time? I am seeing buzz about Windows 7. When would Windows 7 be out and would it require 64 bit?
I'm having an issue when i try and run certain applications, tried running the 2 spore prototypes, a couple of online games and also (a little more esoteric here) a piece of software designed for scanning through 3d Xrays! (dads a dentist with some cool tech). In all cases when i try to run them a window opens for the program but theres no graphics inside. I dont mean its like white blank, i mean its just see through to the desktop.
Just bought a brand new gateway nv52 with vista home premium x64 and it is constantly crashing like several times a day. I'll be running just a few programs like firefox and windows media player or word processor and the computer will freeze, the sound will take whatever the last little note that came out and stutter repeat it several times and then the entire screen will go completely blank to a dark blue screen.
Running Vista Home Prem 32bit Normally when working with Windows when you do something that opens a new Window, that new Window opens in the forefront. However that is not so in my case, the new Window opens behind and at times I don't even know the new Window has opened because it is behind and hidden from view. Is there a setting that you set to make the new Window open in front of all others?
Had to format my hard drive and I used Windows to save my files on an external hard drive. Now I have Windows up and running again but cannot select files that I need to reload on my computer because they are in VHD format. I can do a complete restore, again using Windows, but all that will do will put the corrupt file back on my machine. Does anybody know how I can access these files another way?
adobe #9 will not run tells me adobe has stopped running I have been getting this message with other programs. I have called dell they want to charge me to fix it. This unit is only 2 months old.
I have one program that I'm always having to restart. The program seems to be running just fine, then all of a sudden this little note pops up saying that the program has stopped running and will shut down. And it does. I just started using Vista about a month ago so I'm not really up on it that much. Does anyone have any ideas about this.
I've had Vista Ultimate (or whatever the 64 bit version is called) installed on my computer for almost a year now. Everything has worked perfectly until fairly recently. I noticed that one of my startup programs had stopped working (SoundMax32) and was showing up as an application error. This was around the time I installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, so I figured maybe my audio settings had been changed. The computer continued to work for another 2 weeks, and then yesterday, completely out of the blue, ALL of my programs (startup and otherwise) have stopped loading and are showing the application error message.
The thing I don't get is that Vista still boots up with no problems. I thought initially that the problem was limited to my 32 bit applications, but IE 64 bit doesn't work either? I'm about 2 days from just reformatting and doing a complete reinstall. But if anyone has any answers I would be grateful.
And no, I did not install any application between the last bootup that was fine, and the one yesterday. I've run windows update and updated everything but the programs still will not load (I'm writing this from my laptop because IE and Firefox give me the same error message).
I have 3 programs identified with this problem: minesweeper, hearts, and windows media player. The first 2 give the message immediately. Media player works until I try to view a picture. The details of windows media show the following files:
Does anyone have any idea of any fix for this. The systems totally locks up randomly when running a web video and or audio program and it seems to be in Media Player, iTunes and other programs as well. I am running Vista home basic on this machine but it does the same thing on my HP running Vista Ultimate as well. I go back into the error messages in the application, systems, and performance logs and can not find any suggestions on what the problem could possible be. I have looked through Blogs and find that this is happening on a variety of machines and configurations and versions of Vista and the only suggestion was to work in the config.msc utility and try turning off non Microsoft services that you can.
I have few programs that I wanted to run as Administrator from startup for normal user. I tried Task Scheduler and it worked but I didn't have icons for these programs in a tray so I could not control these programs. Quite a bit of searching with google brought me to CPAU It is command line program which allows to run programs as different users. In my copied this program to C:WINDOWS directory and created shortcuts in Startup folder............
After I install Gears of War I get a "Instullation wizard has stopped running and my start up code has been modifed. When I go the the main menu O the game and press play I am stoped and a message pops up that says it can not be played on a modifed code.
ForceWare 175.80 Full screen 3d gaming resets/ignores my gamma settings... Haven't had that problem in past with ATi x1900xtx card... Gamma settings will work if game is running in window mode, but it hurts the performance of the game, soo i'm looking for a solution... Games are: Counter-strike source and Team Fortress 2 OS: Vista x64
The problem comes from trying to install new applications i.e. firefox, winrar, and utorrent, are just a few that we have tried to install. The same error keeps occurring, it will automatically come to the error window stating that the program "has stopped working" and proceeds to search for a solution. So far I have run the program as an administrator, compatibility mode, and have tried searching the even id #1000 on the windows support forums. Also it is the same exception code every time occurring from application error 0xc0000005.
I got my brand new (custom Puget Systems) computer last Thursday with Vista Ultimate pre-installed. Today, Vista Ultimate (32-bit, SP1) got profoundly goofy. This new computer has an XFX nVidia 780i motherboard, an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 (3.16 GHz) CPU, and 2 GB of RAM on OCZ DDR2-800 Reaper chips. Today, Vista has stopped opening Microsoft programs such as Vista's pre installed games, "Windows Ultimate Extras", "Windows Update", the "Default Programs" page, "Windows Explorer", and "Control Panel". (This is not an exhaustive list. The "Control Panel" page opens, but remains blank. When I click on "Windows Explorer", I briefly get an error message telling me that "Windows Explorer" is not responding, and that Vista is looking for a solution, but that message disappears quickly on its own.
Other programs open and run just fine. Microsoft Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player open OK. All non-Microsoft programs seem to open and run without problems. I scanned the computer with the anti-virus program, but the problem continues. Before this problem, I ran Windows Update several times since I got the computer on Thursday. In addition, I have been moving data over from the old XP computer and I have uploaded programs including "notepad++". I might consider using the "system restore" function, except that the "Control Panel" page opens, but remains blank....
For some reason my Windows Mail has stopped showing html. As late as 5PM this evening I was able to see stationery posts , but now all I get is text.=20...

Bought a Toshiba Satellite A100 from ebay with a cracked screen. I changed the screen yesterday, and the laptop worked well with no problems. Then today I decided to do a fresh installation of Vista because of all the previous owner had the hard drive in a bit of a mess. I installed using my normal Vista Anytime Upgrade disk and as soon as it finished installing I started getting all these messages like "Windows Modules installer has stopped working", "Desktop Window Manager has stopped working" and "TFncKy has stopped working". Things I've tried include reinstalling Vista from another disk. Using a different hard drive, changed the ram, installed all the proper drivers, installed vista updates (won't let me install SP1), staring at it menacingly & banging my head off the desk.
several programs wont run after installation they just give me a stopped running error
game programs wont uninstall
when games are installing wont show the background, it will ask for the cd key but after that the program exits but still installs but after it installs it wont run. programs like mozilla run with no problems the error that seems to occur a lot is
Setup.exe has stopped responding
i have unblocked all these programs from my firewall and everything all of these work on my other vista cpu
I keep getting the following error when I try to print. Job Status Window Interface has stopped Working. I called Lexmark and they said it was a windows problem. Has anybody had this problem? Is there a fix for it?
All of a sudden some of my programs stopped working, for example catalyst control center is supposed to start as soon as vista starts, but now it gives me an error like:
"CCC.exe has stopped working"
Same with some others...
Yes i ran AVG, i ran malware, and superantispyware, none of them finds anything.
I cant even load daemon tools now, it gives me some error: "Engine loading was failed", cant uninstall it, it gives me another error, and some of the programs like netlimiter if i start them from my objectdock dock they automaticly stop working, only when i start them from the normal .exe they dont crash.
When I drag a window on my screen, only window's outline drags, and not the windows itself. Is it possible to make it, so whenever I drag the windows on my screen, the actual window moves, not the outline of it? Previews of "Running Programs" on my taskbar DOESN'T work anymore. It doesn't preview them to me anymore.
I have read many previous forums about AoE II issues, but none seem to apply to my issue. Late last year I successfully installed AoE II on my computer and was able to play it in Windows 98 compatibility without any issues. More recently whenever I try to play it, the window "Age of Empires II has stopped working." pops up.
I have updated patches, I have tried using files from a flash drive, I've tried installing and reinstalling, disabling graphics card, and many of the other suggestions read on this forum, none of which worked for me. I also installed the Trial version, and ironically, it works perfectly fine.
basically my computer keeps freezing every now and then and a transparent screen comes up and at the top left of screen it says (not responding). I read somewhere it happens because of two anti-virus programmes on the computer? Can anyone shed any truth on this., I actually read it on the microsoft problems and answers page somewhere. If so - I have Windows Defender and AVG antivirus. I wondered which i should get rid off.?
My friend has a Hewlett Packard desktop computer that is approximately 3 years old. She is running Windows XP. All she has is the repair installation disk. She let one of her teenage grandsons get on her computer this past weekend and now she has 2 viruses that her security program says can't be removed. She originally had 3 viruses but the one that was located in the registry seems to be gone. The other two are both located in CSIDL_SYSTEMuac*.dll. She chose to quarantine the files, but every time she scans it picks them up again. She is using SecureIt which is provided through our ISP. She can boot her computer but she can not get online. We live in a rural community and the nearest computer repair shop is 100 miles away. Based on everything she's described to me I think her best bet is a reinstall of the OS. I'm asking someone to help me help her. Would a repair installation get rid of these viruses?
I have learnt that Vista has been build on the Framework, therefore, no thread leaves an application domain to enter another application domain. So, isn't it what a virus does?, then how is it possible that a Virus can infest Vista?,
