I am having some issues with some programs not working on my computer. I tried uninstalling them and reinstalling but they just fail on load.
I opened up command prompt and ran SFC/ SCANNOW and received a message about corrupt files.
I was wondering if this msdt.exe corrupt error is caused by a win32 worm?
A Chkdsk was performed but errors keep happening. Also this msdt.exe error pops up while browsing the internet.
I am trying to help somebody else with this issue.... my own pc is ok.
I suggested that he run malwarebtyes and he said the scan came back clean.
so, he did a clean install of the RC on the same partiton that used to have the Beta. he is now getting the msdt.exe error and also he is getting winsat.exe corrupt error when trying to run windows index experience.
I am kinda stumped, I goggled it and all things seem to point to a possible infected pc?
registry errors?
Lately I had problems playing video-files (hd content, mkv container) on my WD HD TV. Turned out that the files were corrupted when after copying to the usb disk. First I was afraid my Intel X25-m was the culprit, but windiff proved that the error occurred after copying, and there was a difference between the file on my SSD and the copy on the usb disk.
After trying all the USB ports on my laptop (MSI pr200, T7700, 4GB, Windows 7 HP 64), the CABLE proved to be the culprit. I use different cables, the one causing problems was an old motorola razr....After trying the cable that came with the 500GB Verbatim USB disk the problem is gone, and windiff says the files are equal.Just to let you searchers know (fingers crossed!): issue seems to be resolved by using a good cable.
I have a toshiba with a windows 7 64bit, and it's been acting really slow recently and freezing up on me so I thought there might be viruses that I needed to get rid of, so I restarted my computer so I could go in safe mode with networking to check if there really were. When I restarted my computer I momentarily forgot to press the f8 key and the windows starting screen with the logo showed up. Without thinking I turned off my computer since I didn't want to restart again (it took forever for the computer to do). Once I turned the laptop on again I ended up going to system repair. For some reason this did nothing to my computer. I left it on for hours and hours until I finally decided I wasn't going to get any results. I once again restarted the laptop but this time when I went to system repair I cancelled it and when into more options and tried doing a system restore which also didn't work and said a bunch of my files couldn't be read. When I looked back at the system repair log it said "system volume on disk is corrupt." I googled it trying to find something to help me, and every place said to run sfc scan, which I did on command prompt, which always gave me the reply "there's a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete" and since my computer can't reboot properly no matter what this is what it'll say. Is there some way to run this scan or another way to fix my computer without having to lose all my data? I have some really important files on here. I've also tried running chkdsk /r /f in command prompt which it wouldn't let me do and said it can't lock the current drive because the type of file sytem is NTFS.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I installed Windows 7 Pro x64 today, I did a custom install but I didn't format my drive beforehand. After it restarted the first time, it came up to a screen that said this: Code: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:< Windows root>system32toskrnl.exe.Please re-install a copy of the above file After several failed attempts my Dad somhow got it to install properly, and it worked fine until I needed to reinstall updates. When it restarted again, the same screen came up. I put in the Windows 7 DVD and restarted, this time it booted without any problems. My boot is setup as "Boot from CD/DVD Drive" first, and "Boot from HDD" second. But when it said "Press any key to boot CD/DVD" I didn't press anything, and it just moved on normally.

View 2 Replies View Relatedtell me if Windows Disk Defragmenter is a good defragmenting program?I mean for example if Defraggler, Auslogics Disk Defrag or DiskRescue 2009 are better than Windows Disk Defragmenter?Some of the 3 other programs have different features such as moving the most accessed files to the fastest part of the disk, or even defragmenting the free space remained on the disk.Windows Disk Defragmenter does the same things as the other programs?I want you to be honest and make a correct recommendation, without being influenced by the idea that Windows Disk Defragmenter is a Windows product and here we are on a Windows forum.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I started my computer today windows was unable to full start. It got the the colorful welcome screen, and froze. I restarted and it went to chkdsk.So i ran chkdsk because it was highly recommended when I started my computer today.After a good 30 minutes it finally ended and told me a few files were unreadable and a few were deleted, scanned, etc. here is an image to help show what I mean:Afterwards, when I attempted to run Google Chrome, and a few other programs, I obtained an error message at the bottom of the screen, and when i clicked on the balloon, to hopefully get a reason or options on how to fix it, I got nothing and it popped up again, and again, and again.It is not stopping anything, it is not ending a program or closing any; it is just annoying and a little uneasing on my part of keeping this computer running.Here is an image to help express exactly what I see: how I could just turn the alert balloon off, but I would like a complete fix, not just 'duct tape'.Also, I have been getting this whenever i try to 1 uninstall a program and when I try to save an image/file:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have found tutorials (here and elsewhere) for custom Windows (7/XP/Vista...) install disks, should you wish to tailor your Windows install to your needs. However, I have not found anything relating to my current question.While I will create one of these Windows disks, what I am wondering right now is: Is it possible to do the same thing with multiple programs from different vendors?I would like to eventually create a Windows install disk that has been trimmed of all the excesses I do not need, adding drivers, SP1 and some critical updates instead. If there is enough room on the install disk, I would like to add some third-party programs to be installed as well. It may turn out that I would need a Windows disk and an applications/programs disk also (as the programs themselves would be rather numerous and/or bulky).I know it is possible, since the big OEMs do this, but would it be cost-efficient (read: free), or even possible, for an end user to do

After about 5 minutes or so, the screen shook and lines were on it. After that, I got the Blue Screen Of Death.
I restarted the computer. After the dell logo and below your computer type (Inspiron, Inspiron One etc), (before you see the Windows Error Recovery screen) I got an error message that said "A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reRECOVERY."
When I press Ctrl, Alt and Delete, The computer restarts and I get the same error message. Then, I have to shut down the computer and leave it off for at least an hour.
After an hour, I turned on the computer and I did not get the error message. After I logged in, I scanned for viruses, spyware and malware with the latest versions of all my antivirus programs and no was found. I tried everything I could do and none of them worked. I am posting this thread on my iMac computer with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
I have a workstation on a gaming rig. I work and play games on it. I wanted to ask if I could separate my work files and GAMES setups (installed files) so they don't harm my work data.I do play games with cheats/hacks and they mostly contain malicious files which can damage my operating system. I want to create a seperate DISK image like Vmware in which I can run games without being worried about any harmful files accessing my work partition.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTo all that may be having problems and need assistance: STAY AWAY from the website FREE PC TECH! I was looking for a problem with one of my XP laptops, was steered to it on a forum (tom's computing net) and downloaded three boot discs. Today, MSE caught the viruses and removed them from my laptop. The most severe one, I forgot to write down the name of it, but it was a password stealer. The other two (medium risk) were Tool:Win32/Angryscan.A & Remote Access:Win32/RealVNC.
These two were said to be a privacy risk or could cause computer damage. There are a whole page of boot and recovery discs here, but stay away. It took a while, but MSE fixed the problems. I'm beginning to be impressed with MSE. Usually, Avast places these files in the virus chest, but MSE deleted or destroyed them.
Where would I find a driver for my Toshiba Satellite L505D-LS5007 sound card?
