When I click on "MyComputer" or "Control Panel" from Startup button in Windows XP, a window opens for less than a second and closes.
I ran McAfee Virus Scan as well as Norton Antivirus scan. Virus was not found on my machine
During bootup time, XP used to take lot of time but deleting prizesurfer decreased the bootup time.

I click on the OneDrive icon on the Windows 8.1 Start screen and the app opens, then immediately closes. All other apps work OK.
I have tried the troubleshooters, reset the Store cache and uninstalled and reinstalled Onedrive but the problem continues.
Another issue that is probably related is, although the Onedrive app is installed on the Start screen, it does not show on "My Apps" at "My Account" at the Windows Store.
Like I said above, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the OneDrive app several times but the situation remains.
Hi All,
Internet Explorer (7 and 8) will open and close immediately under Vista Home Premium. I have tried the following:
1) Run IE in no adds-on mode. Does the same thing.
2) Reset all settings under the Internet Options Panel---when it gets to the third part 'Applying Default Settings' it fails.
3) Run Malware Malabytes in Safe Mode---nothing detected.
4) Install IE8 (wasn't working back when it was IE7), still no luck. Uninstalled back to IE 7, no working, and then back to IE8.
So, any ideas? I normally use Firefox and Opera, but there is one specific work-related website that requires some ASP scripting that neither Firefox or Opera can handle!

You can try to run the following command to see if any DLL files are missing/damaged.
sfc /scannow
Try also the install folder of the app you use with IE7, if there is a DLL called PSAPI.dll
if there is delete it or rename the file.

What is the app that you are trying to run? Is there not an update that will work with IE8, or at least a bug fix?
When was the last time this program was working properly?
I am unable to access IE (Win XP home edition)
The IE white screen opens and then closes after a few seconds. I have tried to do a system restore - and I can't even get that to open.
I have attached the output from Hijackthis. When I attempted to run the dss tool, it was unable to complete. I tried several times and recieved a Windows error - "dss.exee has encountered a problem and needs to close".
Please help!!
Hello brownth01,
Welcome to Bleeping Computer
Sorry about the delay. If you still need help, please post a new HijackThis log to make sure nothing has changed, and I'll be happy to look at it for you.
I just installed AIMMusicLink and all of a sudden AIM won't work. I try to run it and the screen flashes really quick and then closes. I uninstalled the music link program, reinstalled AIM 6.8, uninstalled 6.8 and installed 6.9 beta and then gave up and started using 5.9 which does work. Any ideas to why 6.8 won't work? I even searched the registry and deleted everything that had to do with musiclink but it still didn't work.

I was trying to install updates on our desktop last night and had to roll back because the XP3 update could not install. Now IE does not work. I try to install IE8 through automatic updates and it cannot finish the installation. Also when I first logon to my machine, I get the messages cannot find and could not run or load C:\windows\inet2003\winlogon.exe.
Its wise to make sure when you are doing updates and Service Packs to make sure the system is 100% malware free. With that said, why wold the SP3 not install? Did you recieve an error and if so what was the EXACT error message?3 more replies
IE 11 opens and then closes immediately. The only way to open IE 11 is to right click on IE shortcut, select properties, then set to open minimized. Then click IE 11 on toolbar, and it opens. Setting IE 11 to Normal or Maximized causes IE 11 to open then immediately close. I have removed then re-installed IE 11, ran malewarebytes and ccleaner but IE 11 still has the same problem. I turned off GP rendering. I am out of ideas, does anyone have any other methods to try?
Run CCleaner-Slim or CCleaner-Portable & remove everything it finds, then try IE11 again. If that doesn't do it, go to Internet Options > Advanced tab, then click the reset button located near the bottom.https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/b...6 more replies
All of a sudden today Outlook closed and now when I try to re-open it, it immediately closes. I've uninstalled MS Office and reinstalled, tried using a restore point, tried to open in safe mode and run spybot. After all of this, still nothing.
Anyone have any advice or tips on what I can do next to get Outlook back up and running?
Hi Lionhart
Are you receiving any error messages at all?
Which version of Outlook are you running?
As the title says, Google Chrome opens then immediately closes. I've tried uninstalling it but it does the same , the uninstall window will just close so i deleted all the files off the PC and tried to install it but again, when installing the window just opens then closes..
Has anybody come across this before?
Boot into Safe Mode and see if you can uninstall the program then try the reinstall.
If still does not work try creating a new user profile. Create a new browser user profile - Google Chrome Help
If still having issue make sure that your antivirus is up to date and perform a scan on the PC.
See the thread below and try the recommended fix. Hopefully this helps

Thought this would be a good place to ask this...if not, feel free to point me in the right direction.
I've had this problem ever since the first betas, thinking that it would eventually work or "be fixed"--but even the release candidate and now the final has the same issue.
When I install IE9, when I go to open up the browser (32 or 64), it opens for a split second and then immediately closes. Every single time. I've never seen IE9 open on this machine.
One of my thoughts on why would be that I have two hard drives in this machine--a 60GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. I manually edited the registry entry for default install location / program files location to the E: drive, or 1TB drive, so I don't mistakenly install programs onto the SSD and clog up its limited space. For 95% of programs this has worked out just fine, including Microsoft's own Security Essentials (even though I'd love to have the option to put it on the SSD, but there's no options on where to install it).
Anyone else run into a problem like this? Is there a better solution than reverting that program files change? Now that I've had Windows running for a while I imagine changing that record will cause some...not so nice issues.
EDIT: And I just checked--IE9 is indeed installing to Program Files on the E:\ drive.
For IE crashing, you probably want to try starting it from the command line first to see if it works this way - start > run > iexplore -extoff. If so, you have an add-on causing an issue, and can disable them via autoruns.3 more replies
Hello FYI, I was referred to post here by MRT.Today I did Windows updates.Before updating, I had Win XP SP2 and IE6 (IE6 used to work fine).After updating, I had IE7 and XP SP3.After going to IE7 and XP SP3:IE will not work. IE flashes open and closes very fast.The text in the cmd prompt dialog box is now teeny tiny microscopic (was normal sized before).Wireless connection will not work. (worked fine before; now using ethernet connection to DSL modem).I found this topic on Microsoft's site:When you start Internet Explorer, it opens, flashes, and then closes immediatelyhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/967896Tried "resetting" IE, as per Microsoft's instructions.....didn't work.I uninstalled IE7, and IE6 still did not work. Downloaded IE8 and am about to install it, per Microsoft's instructions in above-referenced topic.Anybody ever heard of this, text in cmd prompt dialog box going teeny tiny after IE7 and XP SP3 updates, and what the fix is for this?Regarding the wireless connection not working after IE7 and XP SP3 updates:I right clicked wireless icon in tray area of taskbar, hit "Repair" and it was unable to "repair". Went back to Control Panel, Network Connections, right clicked on Wireless Network Connection, hit Properties, clicked TCP/IP, hit Properties. There is a checkmark in "obtain IP Address Automatically". I thought maybe I could type it in manually, so I went to the cmd prompt, did an IPCONFIG. The top part... Read more
Well...the only question I have...is do you have a boxmaker (Dell, HP, etc.) system?
If so, you should have read their documentation/suggestions before ever installing SP3.
Hi All
I've got to the slitting wrists stage of this problem. I hope someone can help...
I've been getting the blue screen of death recently and upon checking my computer's error logs I found that it was a problem with my Radeon graphics card. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Radeon software but the audio went. I couldn't find the audio driver (long story) so I did a system restore which worked - everything was back to normal. Or so I thought.
Next morning I tried to open IE but upon opening it closed immediately. I've done a bit of research (ON THE INTERNET AT WORK!) and have done a HijackThis log.
It may be a coincidnece but the other day my screensaver changed - it's now a black screen which says Oxigenscr V5.00.0000. Maybe this is a virus. Thank you for your help in advance

Your computer is infected. Please start a new thread in the Malware Removal forum.
I'm having a problem with my computer that I just can't seem to solve. I first noticed while online I am having trouble typing in the address bar. When I attempt to type the text will highlight or delete itself. For example it I type www. It will highlight or just show ".w". Also the screen has a steady flicker. Typing in search boxes for yahoo or Google seems to work fine. I have also noticed that when I click on the start menu that it will not stay on. I comes on for a split second then closes. It gives me almost no time to open programs or anything else. Most drop down menus do the same. Another thing, anything highlighted in any program has a steady flicker.
What I done so far is to scan for a virus or malware with Spybot, Malwarebyte, Ad-Aware and AVG and so far everything is fine. . I'm running Win XP SP3 Intel CPU, 1.60 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM.
Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

I've been getting the blue screen of death recently and upon checking my computer's error logs I found that it was a problem with my Radeon graphics card. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Radeon software but the audio went. I couldn't find the audio driver (long story) so I did a system restore which worked - everything was back to normal. Or so I thought.
Next morning I tried to open IE but upon opening it closed immediately. I've done a bit of research (ON THE INTERNET AT WORK!) and have done a HijackThis log.
It may be a coincidnece but the other day my screensaver changed - it's now a black screen which says Oxigenscr V5.00.0000. Maybe this is a virus. Thank you for your help in advance

When I attempt to open internet explorer, it will open for a brief moment, and then close. I ran Spybot Search & Destroy and found over 200 entries. I was able to remove them all except one, MyWebSearch. Other than my issue opening Internet Explorer, I am not experiencing I am using another computer to access this forum and post my log.

Windows 10 Pro Anniversary Edition
Groove opens and then closes immediately, tried opening it through the store, doesn't work.
These solutions don't work also: sfc/scannow found no problem| reset internet explorer| restart |
Please help.
It all started when I tried to change the name of the person to which the computer was originally registered to mine. Seemed easy until I tried to run regedit. Screen flashes on and then closes in seconds. From all I read- it could be a virus. I have McAfee installed. Did not detect anything. Ran adaware and spybot- which took care of some files but problem persists. Have tried to install Hijackthis but anytime I type this word in google I am returned to desktop screen immediately. Can't install it. Now what????

I noticed lately that sometimes when I do a google search in Firefox and click on a link I'll be brought to some other ad/search site. It could be going on for awhile; I don't normally use Firefox and only noticed this problem when I opened it a few days ago. I don't have this problem in Chrome. Anyway, when I put two and two together I went to open Microsoft Security Essentials to run a scan only to find that as soon as I open it, it closes. Usually within a second. I ran a complete scan with Malware Bytes that did not find anything malicious but quarantined a few files which I deleted.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

I have a daily backup scheduled in MS Backup in Windows XP Pro and when the time arrives or even if I right click and select "Run", MS Backup opens, it says "Mounting media" and then it immediately closes without doing anything.
This is what it's set to run:

What's causing this and how do I fix it?
I have worked on a friends laptop
windows 7
internet explorer opens and shows the outline of the dialogue box and then the page closes
I have done the following
Trying to re-install - message , version already on PC
Rebooted at various stages throughout
- Went to Turn Windows Features On and Off and un-clicked Internet 9
- Installed updates - removed IE10 and IE11 updates
- Ran the MSFIX - Microsoft Fixit 50778.msi, finished OK
- Ran "Command" as admin - and tried this command
FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*9.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart"
This failed with access denied
- After removing the updates , i was then allowed to install IE11 which took a while to fully install after the full installation and a reboot.
Exactly the same error occur
IE opens with just the outline of the PAGE and then timer shows for a while, then screen closes.
I have left my friend to create the recovery DVDs and then once created to do a system restore back to December. I just wanted to make sure that if there was a problem with restore, she had a recovery option.
She knows this problem has been on the pc for a while, and shes not sure if before or after the oldest restore point of 19/12/13
She has a full subscription to Norton 360 on the PC

We just solved the issue here:
[SOLVED] IE 11 - When opened, immediately closes
May wish to try it.
I work in the IT department at my company. I had a laptop sent in to me from another location. It had a BSoD with Stop: 0x00000024 I was able to get that fixed by doing chkdsk /r in recovery.Now I am having a lot of problems when it loads up. I cannot install anything. Malwarebytes or any program similar will not startup.IE will flash open then close immediately if tried to open it up. The user said the computer was installing updates after he had logged off of it last.I tried to uninstall SP3 but it would not let me do that, saying the file could not be found. Attached is a hijackthis file.EDIT: At startup a message box appears that says "Notification dll has not been registered, program will not work correctly."and another that says "Runtime Error! Program: ...ommon Files\Roxio Shared\0.0\SharedCOM\RoxWatchTray9.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.

Hello. I have noticed that an application/window opens and then closes immediately on my computer about once every 15 minutes. You can see for a split second the new bar in the start bar for the window but then it just disappears. This is especially annoying when playing video games, because it minimizes the games for the new window, and it just disappears anyway.
Is there any way I can see a list of opened applications or windows and in what orders and what times? Thanks

I am on google chrome when suddenly, an unknow program opens up and closes immidiatley every minute, which is really annoying. The icon when it opens up is a printer with a camera.! I Have done virus scans with Advanced system care with antivirus, and also have ran the Deep system care! I Managed to record my screen to show you what application i am talking about, and it seems it happens when i type a lot! here is a video showing what i am talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKbAMMaO3QI&feature=youtu.be

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.
Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
Choose your usual account.
Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.
You will be prompted: "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.
The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

In my Access database (Office 2003, Windows XP) each record is associated with a file somewhere on disk. Some of these files are MS Word files and some are PDF files.
In the DB, the user has the option to click on a button to view the document.
When the user clicks on "View Document, I use the
Application.FollowHyperlink method to open the document file.
This works well except in the case of one particular computer where Adobe Acrobat is installed (instead of the usual Adobe Reader).
When I run the software on this computer, the Word document open correctly but when I try to FollowHyperlink to a PDF file, the document opens momentarily, then closes almost immediately. The document is in view for less than a second.
There is nothing wrong with the PDF document itself. When opened in the normal way on this computer, Acrobat opens it properly with no warnings or dialogues.
I am unsure whether the problem has anything to do with Acrobat versus Reader but it is the single difference that I can identify immediately. I will soon try this on other machines that also have Acrobat installed to see if the problem is the same on those machines.
Any ideas?

I run Outlook 2002 (Office XP Professional). The program now opens, says that it is checking "archive folders" because it was not closed properly file being checked for problems. Looks like it may start to send/receive and then closes immediately. It has been prompting me every time I open it with this "archive folder" checking for a while, but the program has always run. This started first thing Friday after the send/receive. The archive.pst file is: 1,064,704KB and the Outlook.pst file is: 637,072KB. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this. I'd like to keep my contacts and files if possible. Thanks!

I was able to install MBAM by changing the name and file extension to test.bat - the program would not run. I then was able to get the program to run by changing mbam.exe to test.bat. MBAM found the following: Trojan.DNSChanger, Trojan.FakeAlert, Trojan.Agent
MBAM removed them, MBAM returns clean results. Internet explorer still opens and closes immediately. All my software that requires a license opens and now claims it could not contact the license server or license expired.

My computer had/has a bug that will sleep, but not die. EasySearch is the bug and it is really pesty. My anti-spyware provider is close to finding an effective pesticide. I have overcome most problems, but I also have downloaded 5 browsers, IE, Firefox, Opera, Avant & NetCaptor to compare them. Now something different has occurred. IE, Firefox and Opera will open certain websites I like to visit, e.g. consumerworld.org and then promptly close the window. Avant and NetCaptor do not do this. I'm leaning toward Firefox as my preferred browser.
Question 1. Can you give me some advice as to how to make IE, Opera and Firefox keep these auto-closing windows open?
This is my first post. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Download Spyware Search & Destroy and run:
Download Ad-Aware and run:
These should get rid of your "bug".
Hi, I could use some help. When I try to open msconfig it closes immediately. When I search for a file on my pc the search closes to. When I uses the internet it will close when certain words are searched for. some of the words are; virus, trojan, avast. I'm using Firefox for the browser fyi. When I turn on my pc and sign in I get a message saying install NETframe.com v4.0 Honestly though, I think I uninstalled this myself by accident

Problem: IE closes immediately, with the pop-up that says, "Microsoft Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close..." blah blah blah. I sent the error reports. Running Windows XP, up-to-date as of 2 days ago, virus protection up-to-date and scanned a few days ago.
Background: This morning, when I connected to the internet, I noticed the little security alert shield icon, and it said it was downloading updates... I thought this was strange, since I have my settings on "notify but don't automatically download". Just a couple of days ago, this worked, I was notified that there were updates available, and I downloaded them & installed them. This time it downloaded automatically. It was a big one, so I had plenty of time to check it out (make sure something wasn't being hijacked), and I installed Sygate Personal Firewall. When I resumed my connection, SPF let me know that it was downloading from au.microsoft. whatever the rest is, I forget, I just remember it looked valid, so I allowed it. I installed the updates when they were done. I chose to restart later, since I was in the middle of something...
That's when trouble began. After rebooting, Outlook seemed to work okay, then I started up Windows Media Player like I usually do, and that gave me the "encountered an error and needs to close" message. I went to open IE and it gave the same type of error. Then Outlook decided to jump on the bandwagon and do the sam... Read more
I don't know the cause of your problem but you can do a System Restore, then maybe once Windows opens, you can work on the problem.
How to start the System Restore tool at a command prompt in Windows XP
I am so puzzled with this problem I have. I have Windows xp: Service Pack 3, and when I open Windows Internet Explorer 8, It turns white and closes almost immediately after I open it, or i'll open it and it'll turn white and stay like that for almost 10 minutes straight and do nothing. I tried resetting it in control panel, and it didn't help at all. Why doesn't it----referring to my browser;Windows Internet Explorer, work?
If IE works properly when you start it without add-ons then it's possible that you could have an infection, but try these two MS fixits in this order first -
Fix Internet Explorer issues to make IE fast, safe and stable
Fix Internet Explorer add-on problems when IE hangs or freezes
Oy, these cyber hackers are driving us CRAZY.
Here is my HiJackThis log. Every time I load IE, it comes up for a sec. or 2, then closes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can use any other internet browser fine.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SWV !
Can you post a little information regarding the computer model and what issues or changes that could have led to the problem? Have you tried running it in safemode if the problem persist?
Windows 10 beginning with windows update 1511 the Bluetooth audio channel opens when sound is detected and closes after 2 or 3 seconds when no sound detected causing pop sounds. This has been tested with various Bluetooth speakers and headsets on 4 devices, two desktops with Bluetooth dongles, a surface pro 2 and a windows 10 laptop. All audio and Bluetooth device drivers have been updated. Tested various device manager setting such as power management modes disabling power saver feature etc. Audio property setting have also been changed such as disabling enhancements etc.
From extensive testing I have concluded that windows 10 (currently all devices running anniversary update), open audio channel when sound is detected this slight delay causes device to pop, 2 - 3 second after audio has ceased focus is directed away from Bluetooth devices causing closing pop sound through speakers and headsets. Games, music, movies experience no popping after initial start as focus for Bluetooth audio device is dedicated to that device.
The problem is annoyingly apparent when navigating though file explorer when opens folders causes pop sounds due to folder opening sound only lasting less that a second.
Initial windows 10 upgrade did not have this problem nor did windows 7, only occurred from update 1511 and above when Bluetooth networking features were introduced.
Is there any resolution to this problem that anyone has found?
Whenver I start msconfig it immediately shuts down. I know its a virus and ive seen other boards on it but none of it helped me out. I used Hijackthis but dont know what to do now. This is the log:

Hi, you need first to download Windows XP Service Pack 3
You are missing out on important Windows Update and your Pc is not protected.
Once you have installed SP3 - restart your Pc and check for Windows Updates.
When that is done - post a New Hjt log.
Download Security Check by screen317 from
Save it to your Desktop.
Double click the install icon.
Let it scan the Pc - press any key when asked.
It should now open in Notepad.
Copy and Paste the result of the scan in the reply box below.
The saved log will be called checkup.txt.
Check and post
TSG System Information Utility - found here.
Also Outlook Express if I select to display images on HTML e-mails, or reply or forward an HTML e-mail. Firefox runs just peachy!
I hope I did all of this right. I really appreciate the assistance!

I have downloaded IE11 directly from Download IE Here Before that though I tried getting IE9, 10 and 11 through the Windows Update process. IE8 works on my laptop but I cannot get Direct x to function properly on http://www.moac.microsoftlabsonline.com I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling via the "Turn Windows features on or off" section of the control panel. Also reset IE through the control panel. Followed the instructions from this page as well. Internet Explorer opens, flashes, and then closes immediately when you start it Here is the link to the thread that suggested I seek help here.
Other browser (Firefox) works fine. I rarely use IE and only need it now to do the lab work for the 2 MOAC courses I am taking.

MS Word 2000 SR-1 closes immediately on launch. My operating system in Microsoft XP Pro. I've removed the program and reinstalled it, restarting the system after each action. I've updated AVG and run it, then restarted the computer, but no luck. Any ideas?
yes, here an idea
though, you have remove the application from your computer, you system have kept some files from old installation.
not to worry, this can be fixed by purging all MS Office files from your system.
let us start with add/remove programs & remove MS Office 2000
click Start, Run & type regedit & OK. browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office. right click that folder & choose the delete option.
go to C drive, Programs Files, & delete Microsoft Office from there. (don't worry if you receive an error of some files can not be removed, will just do it after reboot)
if the last step gave u an error, please reboot & delete after reboot (don't open any applications or browsers)
click Start, Run & type %TEMP%, the click OK. (delete all items within the folder that opens)
reinstall MS Office 2000
this should fix your issue. please let me know how it goes

Hello XEyedBear,
I see you also ran ComboFix. Are/were you being helped at another forum?
In our client we are facing the below issue in only 4 machines.
When we open Internet Explorer 11 in the machines, it freezes for some time and then closes automatically. No error is getting recorded in the even viewer. Tries to launch the IE by disabling the add ons and by enabling the use software rendering instead of
GPU rendering. Disabled the script also but no use. When i tried to uninstall IE 11 and use the old version of IE it works fine.
Kindly suggest
When I try to use Hijackthis, it closes withing a maybe two seconds. I'm not exactly sure what's wrong.
When I managed to get the log by quickly pressing the button, the log hadn't work either until I changed the name of the file. Also, certain websites that deal with hijackthis, closes my explorer immediately. D:
But here's the log:

This is primarily a informational post for those interested.. I found this post http://forums.techguy.org/malware-r...regedit-msconfig-closes-immediately-upon.html and wanted to reply but it was closed.
I just copied my drive over using Western Digital's Data Lifeguard utility. Upon rebooting (and making sure the new drive was selected in the bios to boot from) I encountered 2 problems..
1: the boot menu (which had not previously been enabled) now showed two entries for "Default system", both which worked, but was annoying to me..
2: msconfig would not work for me to check the startup and boot.ini.
I ran through a lot of steps trying to get msconfig to work again.. copied the file to a different location, rename it as a different filename, check for virus/malware, even copied it from my laptop, and checking the registry entries.. Nothing would let this program run!
As far as antivirus programs, I run Avast! .. I was POSITIVE I had no virus malware, etc. Even still, I ran a boot time virus sweep. NOTHING found. Even ran HijackThis.. again nothing. After MUCH searching on Google and even these forums, I simply resigned myself that I was going to need to do a repair install (which I hate doing). I decided to check one last thing first.. manual edit of the boot.ini.
When I opened it up and compared to my laptop running the same version of the OS (Win XP Pro sp3) I noticed it was missing an entry .. the information under [operating systems] (second entry) was b... Read more
I am having the same problem. I have tired resetting, I ran sfc and no issues were found. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Also tried the tweaks from majorgeeks.com. I have tried IE9 via update and IE11 via update and also from downloading. Also I just finished a clean install on a tower and have the exact same issues there. I am desperate here. I need IE to complete MOAC labs. Both machines are running Win7 64bit. Laptop has Home Premium and the new tower is Pro. Both machines have the OS on one partition with registry point program files to a second partition.
Moved to a thread of your own, please do not hijack another thread, making one of your own will get you help specific to your issue.
Do you have any other issues, where did you get the copies of windows that are installed, have you tried running a startup repair. What about other browsers do they have the same problem.
When i open the Internet Explorer, it will open then immediately close. I was able to pinpoint the problem at my home page (www.google.com). I opened IE again, stopped it quickly from opening the home page and then entered another web page. It worked. Then i went back to the home page and it closed again. So whenever i enter the home page the program will shut itself. I also use Firefox as web browser and it doesnt do the same thing. Any help will be appreciated.

OK, this is what's going on...
This particular game doesn't require much out of my machine. I've ran this game 5-6 times over just to see and it still ran smoothly, so I know for fact it has nothing to do with hardware (especially because I can still run much more graphically/processor intensive games). Just getting that out of the way.
I have played this game, unchanged, many-a-time pretty much every day, then one day it simply quits working. No update to the game (it does not update automatically), no change whatsoever. It'll just open and immediately close before any kind of content, color, or image is loaded. The whole process of me attempting to run the game and it closing takes less than a second.
I've tried spamming the game to see if maybe a 1 in 100 shot will randomly open it. This didn't work.
I have removed all my firewalls and antivirus, just for sake of testing purposes. This didn't work. Yes, I rebooted.
I have absolutely completely uninstalled the game, then reinstalled it. Rebooted, and it didn't work.
I have tried running as Administrator, or even just disabling the UAC altogether. Rebooted, and it didn't work.
It's an online game. Windows Firewall is disabled, all my ports are open, nothing is justifying what's going on here.
The two previous Firewalls/Antivirus I had were McAfee and Avast.
I am on Windows 7.
What game and what are you exact PC specs (make and model if its a big brand name, or make and model of motherboard, cpu, gpu, ram, harddrive, power supply including wattage, optical drives etc.)?
At the moment, all you are saying is a random game doesn't work on a undefined machine ... thats not a lot to work with
I am running Windows 2000 on my machine here at work. I had Office 2000 Professional installed and all was well. A few weeks ago I installed a CAD reading program called Volo View and sometime there after all my problems started. All of my office applications (Excel, Outlook, Word, etc.) close only a few seconds after opening any one. I have removed both softwares and tried reinstalling Office. I also removed Volo View out of the registry also and it still shuts down. I found a MS fix to edit the registry by deleting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0 and then reinstalling Office from an administrator profile which didn't help. I have run Spybot, Adaware and CW Shredder, in an attempt to remove anything that may have come about via the internet and none have solved my problem. Below is my Startup Log and HijackThis Log.

Hello, I was reading over this forumand I had the same problem.Regedit and MSConfig closed immediately after opening.Well, to my surprise, after following those steps, I tried to install HiJackThis.It did the exact same thing.It closed right after I opened it.Please help?
turns out I was using an old version
so I did what it told me to
now whenever I try to open the folder to run the installer, it restarts the explorer process.
Folder opens, then immediately afterwards, screen goes black.
Something very smart installed in my computer is preventing me from finding it. Please help?
Internet Explorer 7.
There is a particular page of just one website that brings up the following message the second it has loaded: 'Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.'
It's a multiple choice bullet page for placing an order at the pizzahut.co.uk site!!
I can logon just fine, but as soon as I navigate to the problem page the error is thrown up. It bugs me enough to tell you about it here!
Can anyone suggest a remedy for this? I just want to be able to order a pizza without the damn error!
Very curious that it only happens with this page and on this site only.
Not the most serious problem in the world I admit, but any help appreciated of course.
Hello and welcome to TSF
Do you have these problems in any other browsers? Please try one of the below (both are free):
I cannot open IE7 - or any other browser on my laptop (I am using our desktop to enter this). The window says connecting for about 5 seconds, but it never connects and the window just closes. I have run Norton Antivirus, Adaware and Spyware Terminator and no viruses have been found. Please help me fix this problem - I don't even know where to begin trying to fix it since I can't access the Internet from the machine.
I am going to close this thread and post in the malware forum instead as I am sure I have a virus.1 more replies

I've had zero luck with the Poser support people and have had to take this issue into my own hand. This app *will* work under safe mode but does when vista is booted up normaly. What are the key differences between safe mode and normal mode in vista? I need to start there if i want to begin troubleshooting this thing. I absolutely know its a display driver conflict between Catalyst 8.8 and my Asus software package that came with the video card. Any suggestions?
Safe mode loads basic drivers, and prevents most Anti virus and other prevention software from running fully.
So, you either have a conflict with your av / am software or else with a driver.
When I click on a link to a page (that I've used many times before) IE suddenly shuts down. Actuually, I jsut tried it on FireFix also and the same thing happened. Makes me think it's a firewall issue, but I don't know how to troubleshoot that. Tried all I cound, but not a TrendMicro guru and could appreciate any help that's out there.

I know this has been addressed in previous posts but none of the solutions I found worked for me.
Upon starting my computer, opening regedit isn't possible. I get an error message saying: "Regedit is disabled by administer." To fix this, I run (every time I turn on my netbook) the following statement: REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
This allows me to open Regedit, but it immediately closes again.
I have started working in Sierra Leone and know my computer has many viruses on it. Still, none of my anti-virus software (I use AVG Free 9.0 and PandaSecurity ActiveScan 2.0) has solved this problem.

Welcome to TSG, Cronfofan; I've moved you to the XP forum since that is your operating system.
I see you have a couple of problems, first and foremost is the msconfig issue caused by a trojan. The second is a hijacker called rapidblaster among other things.
I'll try to address both in a combined fashion.
First have HijackThis and a notepad copy of these instructions handy in their own folder on the desktop. Then go to Folder Options > View and make sure "show hidden files" is selected. Folder Options is found through the Control Panel or any Explorer Tools menu.
Then shutdown completely and wait about 20 seconds before restarting. Tap f8 promptly on restart to access the boot menu and select Safe Mode.
1 -- in Safe Mode, click Start, Run and enter Explorer
2 -- navigate to c:\windows\system32 and delete:

I've been through the forums and i know that other people have had similar problems, and I've read how they have had their problems fixed. I've tried many different things to get my problem fixed, but nothing seems to ever work.
I suspect that i have multiple problems that may or may not be related to each other, but either way I cannot do certain things to fix anything.
The problems that I have noticed are:
1. Home page for internet explorer changes to http://www.nuevaq.fm/ even when I change it back to what I want.
2.a)HijackThis opens, then lasts about 1-4 seconds, then automatically closes
b) Whenever I type Hijack This in internet explorer, whether on google, or any site, Internet Explorer closes within seconds (making it almost impossible to search for help regarding Hijack This)
3. Regedit/msconfig open for a split second then close again (task manager and antivirus sites do still work)
It'll really help me if you guys could tell me an alternate software which could fix this problem or better still guide me through the process of getting rid of this problem..
FYI: I wanted to post the Malware Removal & HijackThis Logs forums but whenever i visit the subforum my browser automatically closes...
please help me thanks in advance

You computer is obviously infected. Are you saying you cannot post in the Malware Removal & HijackThis logs forum? Possibly caused by the name HijackThis?
Can you download the program after booting in Safe Mode with Networking?
Is so,
Please click here to download and install the HijackThis installer.
Run it and select Do a system scan and save a logfile.
The log will be saved in Notepad. Copy and paste the log in your next post.
Do not fix anything
I'll start with my current setup:
I'm running Win 7 Pro 64 on a Dual HDD setup, 120GB SSD/1.5TB Spinning. I have installed Windows on the SSD and I have set the Registry to expect Program Files and Program Files (x86) in the D drive.
So far, so good, except IE will not start. It flashes on the screen and immediately closes. It's getting frustrating. I've tried the Microsoft solution, and even re-registered all the .dll's for IE.
At this point, I have no idea what to do next. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I would really prefer not to set Program Files and (x86) back to C drive, but I might have to if I want IE to run. And yes, I run a different browser primarily, I'd just like to know IE is functioning.
Can you boot IE in Safe mode?
Have you tired to reset IE via Control Panel?

My computer has gone crazy, and I cant use it, so i am sending this from an internet cafe.
Basically, it starts up, wont let me either open in safe mode to system restore, wont let me press[del] to enter start up mode.
Suggestions pls, I presume I need a boot disk, can I get one save it on CD and use it that way ??
All suggestions welcome, as I am stuck!!!
Hi puertorico, welcome to BC!A little clarification, when you say wont let me press[del] to enter start up mode do you mean that you can't enter the system BIOS utility (the thing that comes up before Windows) or that you can't get to the boot menu (where things like "Safe Mode" and "Last Known Good Configuration" are shown) by pressing F8 before Windows loads?If you have your Windows XP installation CD, then that's all we'll really need to fix this. If not, then there are some alternatives we can discuss.Post back soon!9 more replies

Hi everyone, New to the forum so thanks for the help ahead of time. Upon opening internet explorer it immediately closes and displays nothing. Also Internet options in control panel will not open at all. The windows firewall also tells me "For your security, some settings are controlled by group policy." This computer is not on a network and is a home computer. I was able to work around it by doing some registry work in which I removed the value on the firewall key. So that enabled me to turn the firewall back on. The service for windows firewall is now started with no errors and is set to automatic.
The Internet explorer problem is more important to me at the moment. I know the internet connection is active because firefox works perfectly. I scanned the computer with AVG and it found so many viruses and trojans it was rediculous. I also scanned the computer with webroot spysweeper and it found nothing but when I open IE it stops all sorts of things like drivecleaner for example.

I have a XP Home machine that whenever I startup IE 7.0, it closes right away (within a few seconds). It looks like it will start
loading the page, then just closes. Also in my Control Panel, there is a icon for Internet Options (without the "Internet Options" text
lable), but I cannot click or do anything with it. I also can not right click on the IE icon and get to the properties. I have run Spybot
to no avail. I tried re-installing IE 7.0 (downloaded from another machine). It went through the whole install and said it installed
successfully, however it couldn't download the updates. I restarted and the windows update said their were updates available, but I
haven't installed them yet and that is where I sit. IE still does the same thing currently. I did notice in the hosts file there is a entry
of "126.96.36.199 SC00102". I'm not sure what that is, maybe dealing with my wireless connection? Before I reinstalled IE, I took
it out, restarted and it didn't make a difference. One thing (before I re-installed IE) I did was to put "c:\windows\ie7\intcpl.cpl" into
"c:\windows\system32\intcpl.cpl" and that got my Internet Options back (their gone again now), but it didn't fix the closing out issue.

I have searched the forum and have not found anyway to fix my problem. I have Vista Ultimate on x32 and during the installation, i acquired too many "windows.old" folders (windows.old, windows.old.000, windows.old.001....) and they all take up gigabytes of space! I learned that Disk Cleanup can fix this but everytime I clicked the link it opens for less than a second and then closes. I tried shortcuts and the actual file and by using Run. I have also restored some .reg files that were actually missing. Nothing has worked! help!
Hello Julio, and welcome to Vista Forums.
You will need to do a clean install with that many window.old folders. It sounds like your current install is corrupted.

i know i had the blaster virus (or that's what Dell tells me anyway...). So, I downloaded the patch for it and installed it, and then tried to run Norton Antivirus full system scan and about 3 seconds after it opens, it disappears. Same thing if I try to run Live Update.
I was able to do a full system scan in safe mode, and the system came up clean, but I still can't run the Live Update in regular mode. HELP!
I'm on XP, using Norton Antivirus Professional Edition 2004.
Do the cntrl, alt, delete command to open the task manager then go to aplications and see if its still runing. If it's not there, then check the processes tab to see if its runing. If its not runing at all then maybe you should uninstall and reinstall then after do the patch. If it happens again then its gonna be a registry that some virus or malicious code has added or modified. Im not an expert but tricks like that are always pulled by means of altering the registry.
Regedit, Task Manager close immediately!
I've run Spy-Bot, AdAware, Norton 2004. Some forum questions are similar, but items they were asked to get fixed in their HijackThis logs are not listed in my logs.
(Someone in my house did recently click on an IM Message with a fake message, which then started propagating malicious fake away messages for my family member. I'm not sure if the Norton virus scan took complete care of the IM problem or not.)(I also installed Service Pack 2 a couple of weeks ago for my XP computer.)

Hi guys,
Have just found and read a closed as solved post about Microsoft Office 2000 Outlook closing immediately on opening. Of course, now I have gone through the registration process I cannot find the original post.
So, within the last two days, for no apparent or obvious reasons, Outlook 2000 refuses to stay open. When I try to open it, it opens and immediately closes; no error messages, no crash reports to Microsoft. The only thing I notice is in the task bar at the bottom of the screen, when it opens it shows the outlook logo followed by '-Microsoft Outlook' instead of 'Microsoft Outlook'.
I have removed the program and reinstalled it a trillion times (only a slight exaggeration). This made no difference.
I have deleted (having copied it to a different location) the .pst file. This caused the program to open and ask various questions about setting up new folders. I did what it asked and the program promptly closed having created various personal telephone folders.
I have put the .pst file back. Now, for the pico second that the screen is open, I can see that there are no e-mails in any of the folders, obvious I guess, but confusing to an idiot like me.
Any help greatly appreciated.
P.S. Info Utility says I don't have an anti-virus but I am running a full Norton 360 program which is always on and I have scanned the whole system a couple of times since this problem began.

Okay, for some reason when I try to start Firefox, I get the message:
"firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
behind it is the Mozilla Crash Reporter:
"Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts."
There is an option to restart firefox, but the same messages come up. I believe it might have had something to do with a virus I had, but Malwarebytes removed several trojans (Vundo I believe was one of them) and installed IE8. So far I've
- restarted the computer
- completely uninstalled and reinstalled firefox
- ran ccleaner & combofix
- ran malwarebytes
- manually uninstalled firefox, renamed the user profile folder in %APPDATA%
i cannot restore to an earlier date because of the virus scans and deleting virus files that were housed within restore data. Has anyone else encountered this issue or know a possible solution?
nevermind. uninstalled IE8 and went back to IE7. Firefox works now.... hmmm....
When I launch the People app, the app opens for a brief moment and then immediately closes.
If I search for a name that I know is in my People list, from the charms menu, then the People app will open with information about that person. But if I touch "Home", the app acts as before - briefly displays the People app home screen, then closes.
I've searched online for an answer but haven't seen anyone with this problem.
The only connection I've made in the app is with Facebook.
Any advice is appreciated. Is there a way to "reset" the People app from outside the app, for example?

Hello Forummates,
Im glad I googled and found this forum. Please pardon me for any mistake I make, I am a newbie and am trying to post in this forum precisely as per your guidelines. I apoligise if I inadvertantly make any mistakes. I need help
Initial symptoms - It started around March 29th. PC kept restarting. It restarted about 3-4 times in 1 day.
Further symptom - IE would not open, Computer got really sluggish. Opening a folder would take about 15-20 seconds!!
Then I Ran Malwarebytes - It found the following viruses. After running Mbytes, IE does open the homepage, but when typed any URL it immediately closes.

I've tried everything I know how to do (not very much). I've lost the recovery disc so I can't reformat. I have a Gateway tablet pc/laptop thing. I think i've picked up some nasty malware/virus/browser hijacker. When I open IE it would close immediately. Firefox is very unresponsive and my browsers appears to be hijacked. I get the warning that pops up on the task bar over and over saying that it's detected some spyware or malware and I need to click to download the antivirus. I'm in safemode now, I can't even use either browser in normal mode, I still can't use IE in safemode. If I have to log back in on normal mode to save a hijack this log then switch back to safe mode so I can post then i'll do that. I also noted that I couldn't even run the "hijack this" program, it wasn't until I renamed the .exe to something completely unrelated that it would even allow me to open it up.
Idk if my hijack log will be valuable in safemode but here it is, i've already tried looking at other people's threads with similar problems and troubleshooting myself unsuccessfully. I will appreciate anyone's help or helpful advice.

Greeting Forum Members:
I am running Windows XP - SP2 on my Thinkpad T60 Core Duo. For the past week I am experiencing a strange problem. I am sincerely hoping that I can get help. Thanks much in advance. Here are the symptoms
1. When trying to explore folder names beginning with 'sy', explorer immediately closes
2. When trying to open web sites whose bookmark names begin with 'sy' IE closes
3. Control Panel -> System, window closes
4. If I rename the folder to some other name, then I can open and explore contents
5. I scanned for virus using Symantec Anti Virus, none found
6. Tried restarting windows under 'Safe Mode'. I get Blue Screen (BSOD)
7. When I do Start->Accessories-> System Information, I get an error "An outgoing call cannot be made since the application is dispatching an input-synchronous call'. I can however see some information about the system inthe backdrop.
I ran Hijack this and here is the log. I would highly appreciate if you could help me out

Good afternoon -
Whenever I try to open Microsoft Security Essentials the GUI briefly appears but then immediately closes, and the system tray icon disappears. If I try to reopen it the same thing happens. If I right click and choose Run As Administrator it opens and stays open. I am running MalwareBytes but have no other AV software running or installed (nor has there ever been). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling MSE with the same results. I've done full scans with MBAM and MSE and no issues were found.
This is a relatively new PC, only been assembled and running about a week. Not sure what is going on here.
Installed Avast, it runs fine. Also no threats detected. I'm sure it's just some goofy setting or something causing MSE to crash. But if Avast works I'll just use that from now on in place of MSE.1 more replies
Had to reinstall Win7 and reinstall backup files. Now the program "TreePad" (freeform DB) opens and loads data but immediately minimizes to the task bar. Cannot get it on desktop to see the contents. I have tried many things to get it to open on the desktop but no luck. I even reinstalled the video driver just in case. No help there.
Not having this problem with any other program... Have contacted the vendor but no response as yet. Downloaded a new copy of the program but it acts the same way.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

Hi, I keep having this problem w/ IE 7. It opens for a split second and then closes before anything can load. I tried the steps on Microsoft's site, but it hasn't helped. I read on another help article that I should run HiJack This. So, I went to trendmicro.com and downloaded a copy. Trendmicro recommended this site for analyzing the HiJack This log, so here it is:Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2Scan saved at 2:21:55 PM, on 10/14/2009Platform: Windows XP SP3 (WinNT 5.01.2600)MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16876)Boot mode: NormalRunning processes:C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exeC:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXEC:\WINDOWS\RTHDCPL.EXEC:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgtray.exeC:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\RUNDLL32.EXEC:\WINDOWS\System32\M-AudioTaskBarIcon.exeC:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exeC:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exeC:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgwdsvc.exeC:\Program Files\Belkin\Belkin Wireless Network Utility\WLServ...
