 asian_angel.....Here's what I would do ........

Go to My Computer   C drive ...........Windows ...open windows folder ...find the Prefetch folder and open it ......then DELETE all the files that are listed in there ...... It wont harm your system to delete them .  Windows will simply replace whatever it needs as it needs it . ( they are junk files )

You should probably run a spyware and malware scanner to clean out your system as well .


Let us know

u r 100% sure that it wnt harm my system

and if theyr junk files then why wld windows hv those files

[Sidewinder]

Yes, DL65 is right. Deleting the files in the prefetch folder will not harm your system. Windows uses the folder for faster loading but over time it just get cluttered with entries. Delete the files within the folder, not the folder itself. Personally I empty my prefetch folder on every boot.

Don't forget to scan for viruses and spyware.

hi dl65 i did waht u sed and cleared out my prefetch folder and did a  virus scan using notron but it still comes up with the box saying the file mssvcnes.exe could not be found



waht do i do

When you boot your computer is trying to start a program that does not exist.
You will need to find that starting entry & delete it.
First try http://www.ccleaner.com and scan for issues.
You could also search your registry for the file name but that's a little tricky unless you feel very confident.
Id ccleaner doesn't fix it for you, come back & we can go another step.
What operating system do you have?
Don't panic, this is nothing.

[Fed]

Select yes.

[asian_angel]

iv selected yes but it still comes up with the cannot find mssvcnes.exe dialogue

[Fed]

Click Start>Run and type msconfig & hit enter.
Look under the startup tab & see if mssvcnes.exe is trying to start from there.
If it is, untick it, click apply,ok & reboot.

Have you done these things as instructed, if not, do them first.
