Appcompat Problem

RoamZion · Jul 14, 2007

Was told to move this post here so:
Hello I'm sure this has been on here at one point but here goes:

Trying to run a program, appcompat error comes up. Hijack this log is attached. Can anybody help? Can't really tell you what I was doing at time because I opened the program after a few months of not touching it, so the possibilites are endless of where the appcompat.txt file came from. Already looked for it in hidden folders try to delete it, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Few things...read this..might help you understand why I am asking a few seemingly unrelated question

Appcompat.txt is simply a reporting file used when uploading error reports to Microsoft. You've seen the message asking you if you would like to "report this error to Microsoft"? Appcompat.txt is a file that is uploaded if you say yes.

Appcompat.txt is not the problem. It contains information about the problem. Open it up in notepad, and you'll see what I mean. When you get an error message that references appcompat.txt, it'll usually give you the full path to the file. So click on Start, Run and enter:

notepad C:\DOCUME~1\username\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER7b4e.dir00\appcompat.txt

Where "C:\DOCUME~1\username\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER7b4e.dir00\appcompat.txt" is replaced with the actual information that was presented in the error message. You'll see a lot of technical information that begins with this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<DATABASE>

Followed by information about the program that was running at the time an error occurred. Note: it's not meant that you understand this. It's meant for the engineers back at Microsoft to use to analyze failures and hopefully provide fixes over time. I point it out here, simply to drive home the point:

Appcompat.txt is not the problem. It contains information about the problem.

What app were you running when this error kicked up?

Your Java is an old version and needs updating......you are risking malware by not doing so.Uninstall the old version and reboot before updating with the latest version from here. http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sun_Java_Runtime_Environment_d4648.html
