Cannot Access Control Panel Vista

Hi,

I have checked and tried a lot of the thing in previous threads but I can't get rid of this problem. I cannot access control Panel (flashes for a second), Windows update, view windoes installed updates (in Programs and Features, P&G itself loads fine) I have used ComboFix.exe and it fixed something, and have also tried VundoFix, would have tried Fixwareout (if it worked on Vista). I have no idea what's wrong, I still have the problem.

I also tried Lavasoft Ad-aware scan (found nothing but tracking cookies), Symantec Antivirus Scan (found a trojan in Java, a .jar file I deleted it), then I uninstalled my Java now and tried ComboFix again, also Tried Trojan Remover.

My PC has always blue-screened everyday since I installed vista could it have damaged windows installation?

I am running Vista Business 32-bit SP1 RC1. Please help

 

C:\Windows\msvrc20.dll
C:\Windows\pp.exe

that's what Combofix quarantined

 

can no one help?

 

Hi shakoor!
Welcome to Major Geeks!

One of us will be looking at your logs in a bit. This takes some time, so please be patient. It looks like your computer is infected.

Hi shakoor_h

When you ran the other scans, did you also run AVG Antispyware and Spybot S&D? If so, did they find anything? Was there a log from AVG Antispyware?

The symptoms you describe could be related to malware, but could also be related to other things. This driver nvlddmkm.sys which belongs to Nvidia can lead to blue screens. I would like to ask someone to look at your logs and your symptoms who is more knowledgeable about Vista. If you have information from the above two scans, that could also help us.

I didn't run Spybot or AVG antispyware, because I thought Windows Defender and Lavasoft Ad-aware would be enough? I will try and run these programs as soon as possible on my computer if it will help.

 

Ran a spybot scan it didn't find anything (apart from MRUs) and also ran a quick avg antispyware scan, again found nothing. I have attached the spybot log

 

I tried doing a system restore (but I the oldest I had was only 2 days ago, stupid vista), anyways I tried it, it didn't work and I noticed I couldn't enable Symantec Antivirus. So I undid the system restore and now I can enable symantec. Another symptom possibly?

How come you can't edit posts on MajorGeeks?

 

I did a clean install of Vista Business 32 bit, on brand new hardware new 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM (I tested it and it has no errors). I think the Blue-screening is something to do with my graphics card but could also be Symantec. the thing is it did once BSOD in Safe mode aswell, which I am guessing wouldn't have been because of Symantec because it was not running...

My Motherboard is an Asus Striker Extreme, Q6600, 8600GTS 512MB and I am running all latest Vista compatible drivers etc.

I will try and roll back to RTM if I can through Safe mode

i do have Nero 7 installed but I never run InCD so I don't see how that could be causing my problem?

 

I just uninstalled SP1 RC1 and can confirm that the problem went away, so something went wrong with SP1. Just though I'd reply so if others had the same problem, they would know a possible solution.

Thanks anyway guys.
