Never, Ever Heard Of This Problem Before! Help!!!

12 years ago

Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium 64BIT

Lots of memory .. Lots of free disk space.

No problem with my Internet Connection and I am almost sure that the problem is not virus or malware related.

(Can't be absolutely sure as you will understand after reading the rest of this post)

I am desperate!

I can't open any of my browsers.

Opening anything such as tools like malwarebytes, revo uninstaller, etc. etc. is iffy!?

There seems to be no logic in what and what will not open.

Some things will open like note pad and CCleaner (From the programs folder) but wont open from the desktop!?
(No longer works)

Malwarebytes launches from the Programs folder but wont launch from the desktop!?
(No longer works either)

None of the browsers will open from the desktop, their respective folders or from the Programs folder!?

I am also getting access denied on a lot of system tools even though I am the Administrator!?

It is odd how I was finally able to get opera to launch.

I was able to get program accessories to open .. went into system tools and launched Windows Easy Transfer (don't ask).

When that window opened up .. I hit cancel and the message Are you Sure You Want To End The Transfer came up.

After clicking yes .. Opera opened!!??
(The Only way to open a browser)

In case anyone asks Hijack this or MiniToolBox wont open either!
(The folder itself will but the app wont launch.)

All of this mess seems to have started with Comodo's Security Suite.

I had installed Comodo's Security Suite and soon after started experiencing multiple hanging startups and shutdowns.

I uninstalled it, installed MSE and Windows Firewall and .. Here I am!

It looks like I may have to do a Destructive Restore if I am to have a functioning pc again?

I only hope that someone will have an idea of what is going on before I jump to such a desperate measure!?
(Can't save copies of photos or other files because system tools or downloaded software won't work)

Thanks Everyone

    This seems like the perfect spot to use the Kasperskey Rescue Disk, this is the instructions.

    Go here to download the program.

    The file is about 300 megs and is an .iso file. Burn it to a CD.

    If your computer is not set to seek the CD/DVD drive first on boot up you will need to enter the BIOS to make that happen. Tapping the delete (DEL) key right after the BIOS beep will bring it up on most computers, make the change save and exit.

    Place the CD in the drawer and restart. I always use graphics mode. You'll need to pay attention in the first few seconds as there are a couple of spots asking a question. Somewhere amongst a bunch of text is a note telling you to click the A button to proceed but all quite simple really.

    It will also ask your permission to visit Kasprersky labs to get the latest definitions updates. Once that is done it will scan your hard drive looking for issues. It is a Linux based program and will not run within Windows, it whole purpose is to inspect the computer with nothing else running. Expect the test to last a minimum of 40 minutes, possibly beyond an hour.

    It sounds like a file association problem, where you can't open anything that has an .exe extension.

    I agree with Oceanna that it would be a relatively easy project to do yourself if no structual repairs are needed. There's no separate cushion, no seams, tufts, channels or other tricky elements, and the arms are open. It also doesn't take much fabric, which will save you money (compared to what you'd spend reupholstering a different style chair). But given the low estimate from your upholsterer, I'd happily let him do it. See what fabric he suggests and what he'd charge you for it. It's true that he'll probably mark it up a bit, but he would also be able to buy it a discount. Even if you don't like his fabrics, looking at them may help you figure out what you do want, so you'll have an easier time shopping. Whether you purchase your own fabric at a store or go with one of his, be sure to borrow a large sample overnight so you can see it in your room under different lighting conditions. If you buy fabric online, order a sample first. (Most stores sell samples for a smalll fee.)

    Way to cool for words. Super nice really big tell your friend it's called. The walking Sanserveria IIRC it's Cv is of the cylindrica type. Pretty easy to root ( yours already has some roots already started ) and just as easy to grow. Not alot of posting going on in there but you may want to ask for more specifics in the Sanserveria forum. Thank - you and your donating friend for showing ( all of us here) such a wonderful Sans specimen.

    11/1/17 update: it’s gotten much worse. The pale splotching has suddenly increased in frequency and spread. I’m noticing splotches on more leaves, and overnight they will turn completely. Some of the branches look gray too: Did I give it too much light too quickly after the transplant? Some of the fine roots came off during cleaning so maybe it has too many leaves in comparison to the roots? Also, the breeze has started to turn cold. It’s still 72 degrees F but the breeze in the house is definitely cool instead of warm now. Is it too cold in front of an open window? I have a spot near my other plants where the light is bright, but it’s essentially where it used to be (on the catwalk) just with more air circulation. The FLF I transplanted in gritty at the same time is looking very strong but hasn’t had new growth after its repot in May. It’s on the same wall just on the other side of the room. The brown spots were from previous root rot. They’re all about 10 feet from a wall of East-facing windows: Here’s the soil now: About 4 months after receiving, when I started noticing the hypo-pigmentation: Right after transplant: Currently: Pale splotching/bleaching used to just be a few leaves at a time but now they’re in handfuls. So far, loss has been all lower leaves but the top is drooping significantly. Too much light too soon? Too cold with an open window even if it’s around 70 degrees F outside? Just normal stress response to changes? It’s been about a week. All thoughts appreciated!

    Zep .. Is there a fix for that?

    owbist, If all else fails .. I will try your suggestion.

    Thank You both!

    Not sure why one would wait "till all else fails". Your choice of course. Normally I like to eliminate the possibility of the bad guys invading first, then look to other avenues knowing the computer is clean.

    Apart from the download time it takes mere minutes to burn the CD and get the scan running.

    Edit. forgot to include a link to How to check file associations in XP - assuming you are using XP.

    I might boot with F8 and look at all the restore points and pick one before the problem started.

    If just associations.. Vista64 forums has a tutorial and it shouldn't hurt to download & run the .exe assoc reset...

    I ran a Western Digital scan tool that said that I have a bad sector that the tool couldn't repair.

    Now the question is: What will replace the HD that I have now since it (present drive) is no longer available?

    Being Vista it is likely the warranty is up on the hard drive. Your info suggests a 650 gig IDE drive

    Do you have the disks to re-install the operating system?

    If there is a bad sector the computer usually marks that as bad and it does not get used. Have you ran chkdsk? Look here for Vista instructions to run.

  • 12 years ago
    last modified: 11 years ago

    Have run chkdsk and just about every other HD checker I could find.
    Some even say that the sectors will be repaired after a new start up ... NOT!

    They fix nothing.

    I do have the install disc (came with the pc) and I have a set of restore disks that I made in the beginning.

    Not sure what ones I should use?

    Problem is .. I need to find a way to save my photos and videos.
    (Ubuntu?)

    I guess that all my pro software like snagit and others are gone for good though!

    I would not be running anymore hard drive test, you will just possibility cause more damage If in fact the drive is bad.

    You never told us if you could boot the computer to safe mode as mikie suggested. Will the computer boot to Safe mode?

    "If there is a bad sector the computer usually marks that as bad and it does not get used."

    owbist is right, I have bad sectors on mine, my drive still works ok.

    The minitoolbox Icon on the desktop, can you right click on it, then choose "Rename" rename it it to miintoolbox .com.

    Then see if it opens.

    Renaming didn't help but I learned a trick by accident!

    I can use IE and download a tool.
    A box from IE pops up asking if I want to save or run the download.

    I choose to run it and the tool will download and open.

    It won't run after that though.

    I didn't know what to select in the minitoolbox menu so I selected what I thought was important?

    I can't make sense of any of this!?

    can you try last known good configuration from the list?

    OK. I'll only be up for a bit, getting late. Try to get a dds scan here. It's not going to fix anything it's just a scan. I'll check in the am...

    Remember you can download Malwarebytes on a flash drive from a good computer, then insert into the bad one and try running it. If you do that don't use the flash drive for anything else meaning don't put in back in the good computer. keep it set aside

    Good luck!

    Seems some failure in teh previous boot causing the system files lost or relocation.

    You may want to run chkdsk c: to scan the HDD for error first.

    Hope this helps.
