hermiona - 22 May 2008 18:38 GMT Every time when I try to open My documents, or My computer, control panel, search, or any folder on my desktop, my computer crashes. It says, on a blue screen(!) something like this:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you have seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters. Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007E ( 0xC0000005, 0x804EB951, 0xF62A1BB4, 0xF62A18B0)
Beginning dump of physical memory. Physical memory dump complete. Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance." -------------------------- After I press restart, and windows start up, a pop-up window comes up, it says that my system has been recovered from a serious error. Do I wish to send this error report to microsoft.... BCCode : 1000007e BCP1 : C0000005 BCP2 : 804EB951 BCP3 : F8965BB4 BCP4 : F89658B0 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1
And this in the report... C:\DOCUME~1\Josip\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER66a3.dir00\Mini052208-04.dmp C:\DOCUME~1\Josip\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER66a3.dir00\sysdata.xml --------------------------- I've read somewhere online that I can check the error report this way: right click on My computer> Manage> event viewer > system.... I did this and properties of error were: Category :(102) Event ID: 1003 .... and then, some numbers.... ----------------------------- I can open only some documents on desktop which aren't in a folder and some programs on desktop. From start menu I can open ONLY microsoft word and powerpoint, notepad, Mozilla ... ----------------------------- Before this problems started I've been trying to get a webcam to work, Logitech, and I've messed with run>msconfig .... but I think I checked it alright after... and since I couldn't fix my webcam drivers I installed a program called Splitcam, to get my webcam to work. And I installed a new version of Nero for burning cd-s.
But I uninstalled the webcam and Splitcam with TuneUp Utilities, soon after I started to experience these 'serious error' pop-ups and blue screens.... I can't uninstall Nero, cause I can't access it on add/remove programs... And TuneUp don't shows it on the list of installed programs! --------------------------------- I've scanned computer with AVG and ZoneAlarm, I got nothing for viruses. ----------------------------------- I have Windows Xp professional, with service pack 2. ------------------------- Please, what can be causing this, and how can I stop it to crash every time I try to open my folders!
Thanx in advance! Ana
Gerry - 22 May 2008 22:06 GMT Dump / uninstall Tune Up Utilities. It is the type of software that can create more problems than it solves!
Background information on Stop Error message: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms795746.aspx
0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED A system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. There are numerous individual causes for this problem, including hardware incompatibility, a faulty device driver or system service, or some software issues. Check Event Viewer (EventVwr.msc) for additional information. Source: http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm
Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties, Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?
Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What drivers are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked.
 Signature Hope this helps.

Gerry - 24 May 2008 00:41 GMT Have you tried uninstalling Nero in Safe Mode?
What exactly do you have by way of a Windows XP CD?

No, I haven't tried uninstalling Nero in Safe Mode. Because I'm not sure how to get into safe mode...! I restart my computer, and as soon as it says 'beep' I press for a couple of times F8, but then I have just 2 options... and it's NOT this kind of screen (below)...I don't KNOW what it is...
"Windows Advanced Options Menu Please select an option:
Safe Mode Safe Mode with Networking Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Enable Boot Logging Enable VGA mode Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked) Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only) Debugging Mode
Start Windows Normally Reboot Return to OS Choices Menu...."
I will try it again now...

Select Safe Mode from the list.

There are other ways to access Safe Mode but the way you are trying is the best.

>> Have you tried uninstalling Nero in Safe Mode? >> [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > > I will try it again now... hermiona - 24 May 2008 13:59 GMT Ok, I've managed to get into safe mode after couple times trying.
Here's what I saw... In add/remove panel, there's NO NERO. (It's name starts with A, case it's Ahead program) http://i26.tinypic.com/b541ap.jpg
Also, there are NO BUTTONS for uninstalling!
And, I accidentally clicked on Windows components add/remove layer, this is what popped out! http://i30.tinypic.com/2zhpes0.jpg
I see that Nero is on my list of programs, so it's NOT uninstalled. http://i25.tinypic.com/28b9zif.jpg
Then, I was browsing in C-hard disc to find Nero uninstall wizzard, this is what happened: http://i30.tinypic.com/2mopbis.jpg
I clicked on Nero icon which is on my desktop, and clicked Properties... http://i30.tinypic.com/ehy8at.jpg http://i31.tinypic.com/28gtsvl.jpg
hermiona - 26 May 2008 07:15 GMT O, I fixed this!!! Yey!
I did this(from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434/ ): 1. Click Start, click Run, type sigverif in the Open box, and then click OK. 2. Click Advanced, click Look for other files that are not digitally signed, click Browse, locate the Windows\System32\Drivers folder, and then click OK two times. 3. Click Start.
--------- I checked which of these sys files r NOT SIGNED and erased some of them... i know, I should have just move them to another folder.... but like I said, I only erased some of them. (I checked properties of each and concluded which can be the problem)
+ this Go to start => run and type msconfig. Go to the startup tab and see if there's a quickcam entry there. If so uncheck it and reboot the computer. stay in selective mode tick the box and click ok.
Thanx for all your help!
Gerry - 26 May 2008 07:54 GMT Well done. Thank for reporting the outcome.
 Signature Regards.
