exception errors for various applications after windows starts (not BSOD) RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hello, 

    Everything was working fine until i got the dreaded BOOTMGR missing error. I fixed it using Windows System Repair, though the Windows installation was not visible in the dialog for System Repair. I rebooted successfully, but received various errors from applications that tried to start and fail. I also ran Windows backup but got an error about halfway through saying backup had an error and needed to restart, though when I clicked OK backup seemed to continue to keep running. Nevertheless, I cancelled Backup. 

    I downloaded AppCrashView and here is the output of the crashes - 4 nearly identical entries, all related to wlsync.exe:

    and another pop up, "DxDiag error - Error: could not load DXDIAGN.DLL"


    UPDATE - also tried to run Internte Explorer 64 bit. got error:

     

    SysFader: iexplore.exe - Application Error

     

    The exception privileged instruction.

    (0xc0000096) occurred in the application at location 0xe2f63083.

     

    Click on OK t terminate the program

  • i rebooted the machine so i could transcribe all the various errors. Windows loads, no bootmgr error anymore, however these are the errors i see:

     

    1. VDeck.exe - Application error

     

    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application. 

     

    2. sidebar.exe - Application error

     

    The exception Privileged instruction.

    (oxc0000096) occurred in the application at location 0xf2ef3083. 

     

    Click on OK to terminate the program. 

     

    I am able to regenerate teh error #2 above for sidebar.exe at will, whenever i rt click desktop and select "gadgets"

     

    3. MOE.exe - Application error

     

    The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close teh application.

     

    (above error #3 occurs SIX times in a row)

     

    4. WLSync.exe - Application error

     

    The exception Breakpoint

    A breakpoint has been reached. 

    (0x800000003) occurred in the application at location 0x75a622a1.

     

    Click on OK to terminate the program.

     

    (the above error #4 is the only one that gets written to the WER log, 4 times. even though error only happens 1 time)

     

    Also, HD Tune reports no errors on eithyer my 1TB primary disk (where Windows is installed) or the 2TB second disk (where I have my system restore backup).

    First run chkdsk C: /r /f from a command prompt with admin rights [1], next run sfc [2]:

    sfc.exe /scannow

    Is it able to find and repair broken files (create the txt file shown under [2] and look if all files are restored)? If not, replace the DLL with the file from your DVD [3].

    best regards

  • Hello Andre,

     

    running chkdsk makes me nervous so I want to run backup first. However, I tried to run Backup by searcjing start menu for Backup and then running the Backup rpogram. I got the error,

     

    C:\Windows\System32\control.exe

     

    The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information wto see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher. 

     

    I am ble to run backup by going via the control panel, however. Am starting that again now... lets see if it lets me finish it this time.

  • run sfc, the Windows mixed some 32 and 64 bit DLL which cause the STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT issue.

  • Hi Andre,

     

    here is the link to the output of SFC:

     

    http://cid-47f042334bfc8f06.office.live.com/self.aspx/MSFT%20support/sfcdetails.txt

     

    there are quite a few files listed there. Strangely however i see a lot of entries with the string, PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64

     

    I have an intel processor not AMD.

     

    Anyway, do i need to manually restore all the files listed in that output from the win7 disc? theres no way to have these done automatically?

    Sunday, February 6, 2011 4:45 PM
  • Andre,

     

    with the output of sfc as a guide, I extracted all the files I could find in the system32 folder to e:\emp folder. But i am getting permissions denied to copy tose and overwrite the existing copies in c:windows/system32/ 

     

    also there are several files i coud not locate on the w7 disc:

     

    calc.exe.mui

    ehres.dll.mui

    VGX.dll

    mmcndmgr.dll.mui

    mmc.exe.mui

    mpr.dll.mui

    Windows User Account Control.wav

    ServiceModelInstallRC.dll

    MMCEx.dll

    wmplayer.exe.mui

    AcGenral.dll

    AcSpecfc.dll

    IEShims.dll

  • There are so many damaged files, that it is too complicated to restore them.

    Run an InPlace Upgrade [1][2] to repair your windows. Your programs are still usable after doing the InPlace upgrade. This should repair all missing/damaged files.

  • Andre,

     

    ok that seemed to work pretty well. Had some wierd errors related to ASUS utilities that were installed, which were never an issue before, but I just uninstalled them.

    Only remaining issue is that rt clicking the desktop gives me the error that windos explorer has stopped working. I tried running sfc scannow but it says "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."

    Here is output from WER/appcrash:

  • I have uninstalled all the ASUS tools. And keep in mind i did an in-place install so windows should be fresh. However i keep having to use teh repair environment, as i will get a "disk read error" and then not be able to boot from drive C. the disk is visible in bios. Putting the W7 disc in and clicking Repair Your Computer / Startup Repair seems to work, but it keeps happening. 

     

    actually i just got the error again, and this time system repair claimed there was no errors found. Windows booted up. This is maddening.

     

    basically, Windows is unstable - is this a hardware or software issue? how do i diagnose this?

  • Windows is very stable since Vista. Most crashes are caused by hardware or 3rd party driver issue.

    Because you get the "disk read error" and bootmgr issue after an InPlace upgrade, you should check the HDD for errors.

  • Hi Andre,

     

    chkdsk reports no erors found. WHat other diagnostics can I run to check the HD?

  • download the diagnostic tool from your HDD manufacture homepage. Which HDD do you use?

  • It's a samsung spinpoint F3 - I'll give that a shot. Would their third party tools find errors that Windows' built in utilities wouldnt?

  • this is the tool:

    the chkdsk only checks NTFS issues. The Samsung tools checks the HDD for physical errors.
