Laptop Ptoblems

[David]

I have to agree with iJoe, on the point that everyone immediately turns to "BACKUP. FORMAT. REINSTALL"
Most of the time it's not needed.. I mean, why reinstall everything, when it could be a 5 minute fix :S



Applesyncnotifier - This is connected to iTunes, if I'm not mistaken.. which isn't needed if I'm perfectly honest, follow these steps.

Show Hide

• Click on the start menu,
• Go to Run...
• Type in ~ msconfig
• Once loaded, go to the Startup tab
• Un-check Apple Sync. Notifier
• Click Apply

The others, should be a simple fix (I'm taking them as related problems) follow these instructions

Show Hide

• Open Command Prompt.
  Important: You must run Command Prompt as an administrator in Windows 7 and Windows Vista to use System File Checker.
• Once Command Prompt is open, type the following command and then press Enter.
  sfc /scannow
  Note: There's a space between sfc and /scannow.
  
• System File Checker will now verify the integrity of every protected operating system file on your computer.
  Note: In some situations, especially in Windows XP and Windows 2000, you may also need access to your original Windows installation CD or DVD.
  
• Restart your computer if sfc /scannow did actually repair any files.

Note: System File Checker may or may not prompt you to restart but even if it doesn't, you should restart anyway.

Hope this helps!

I did the 'sfc /scannow' yesterday, it said there was corrupt files but was unable to fix them - or something along those lines!

Ok, install any available updates, this might help as the error you stated also has a sub-message ~ "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will now close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

NVidia can be a known problem for this, if you have NVidia Network Manager installed, remove it.
Another one can be Norton Security, if that is installed, disable it and reboot, see if the problem recurs.

How much of that is junk though I've seen your desktop

All music to be fair haha my desktop is tidy atm

@Mr-Trainor

Did you run it as an administrator?

If you can use the pc past these error messages, try un-installing iTunes as there's clearly a problem with that


Rather annoyingly you MAY have to backup format and restore haha HOWEVER if you have the vista disk it may be able to recover the corrupted files from there

NOOOOOOOOOOO don't turn on me now, I'm not done suggesting problems

Also I forgot to mention, System Restore to the earliest backup may also help, but no guarantee.

Haha fair enough

edit: to be fair I only said might have to :p

[David]

Yeah I know I'm joking Formatting should be the very last option, in any given case
