Error messages upon restarting

13 years ago

I have had my Toshiba laptop for about 1.5 years. It runs on Windows 7, and the browser is IE.

Every day, I get a message that says "Restart you computer to finish installing important updates".

And, every day, after restarting, I get the following 3 pop-up error messages. The error messages all start the same with

"There was a problem starting C:\users\user\appdata\roaming\

then one of the following:
pcspa\dll
onexfs\dll
oeacf\dll

All 3 pop-ups end with "The specified module could not be found".

From what I can tell, I "think" this has something to do with installing Windows 8, but I'm very computer illiterate.

What should I do to resolve these issues?

I want to get Office for Home & Student, but I don't want to install anything if there's a serious problem that I need to resolve first.

I've also have seen this message: "Update to Kernel-Mode Driver Framer", but not lately.

TIA for your help,
Ellen

Run the Windows up-Date fix it first. In the link provided click the run now tab, see if that fixes the up date issue.

pcspa\dll
onexfs\dll
oeacf\dll

Those dll's make no sense either. Could you run a scan with Malwarebytes and post the log

Did you install Windows 8 ?

Here is a link that might be useful: windows_update

No, I didn't install Windows 8.

I tried to run Microsoft Fix-It, but got an error message:

Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occured.
We're sorry, but the program encountered an error and cannot continue. Please try again later.

I on't have a clue how to go about running a scan with Malwarebytes and posting the log.

Sorry,

STOP: 0x00000050 suggests a video card driver may be at fault. Ever updated your video driver? If you do not know what video card you have click Start/Control panel/System/Hardware/Device manager. Now look down the list and double click on Display adaptors. You can then go to the appropriate site and see if updated drivers are available for your machine. Have you been inside the case or moved the tower at all? Check the video cable is securely fastened at both ends. If you have a separate video card as opposed to built into the motherboard ensure it is seated properly AFTER shutting down, removing the power cable from the rear and resting you bare hand or arm on the metal case frame to ground yourself.

See that is where a problem may or may not occur I'm not a 100% here especially if it originally came with its own recovery disk. That being said I do not know what other options you have (To set up Xp now, press enter 2) You could try this it will wipe the disk and should reinstall xp, and this will take a good bit of time and you will need service pack2 unless it is already included on the disk you have. Then install a free virus program, firewall, and your internet software. How old is the pc? Let see if others chime in here also.

Make sure you download the "Free" version and not the "Pro" version.

As an additional thought to item #1: uncheck the check box for "Enable trial version of Malwarebytes Pro".
