Well it is over! My computer completely crashed this morning after I got another error message that I could not load devmgr.dll and after I downloaded procmon.exe I went ahead and cleaned out the prefetcher and also cleaned out the temp files and then rebooted. It would not even boot. No safe mode. No Last Good Configeration. Nothing. Can't even boot off of a floppy. Keeps rebooting over and over with same screen that Windows cannot load normally. The screen that gives you the all the options. Keeps reappearing over and over. It took me a couple of times just to get into the bios as it showed the keyboard was not working. Finally I got into there so at least I can reformat. I must have a corrupt registry. I am going to go with Windows ME. At least I understand that operating system. The biggest bummer is that I lost Word. I don't have another copy so now I have to go hunt one down. Many thanks to all those who tried to assist me with my error messages! I do appreciate the time and effort. Richard

Just one error after another it seems like with my computer. Now today I get another error message and I can't access anything. It was working last nite. Now it is not working at all. I get the error message "Unable to Load Device Manager Program File devmgr.dll. It is still in my system32 I can register it either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello I and I hope that I am able to receive some assistance with my error messages. I have posted on a couple of other boards and followed all of the advice given to me and have done everything that I can but I am still receiving error messages. These error messages happen when I try and open an executable such as Visual Basic, Script, Windows Installer and any Updates/hotfixes manually from MDGx's site or Windows Updates site or from ErpMan's site. I also received the same error messages when I tried to download and install Sun Java. The error messages are as follows: "Extraction Failed-Cannot Find Window Class". "The application installation is either corrupted or damaged. Please contact program vendor." I have tried everything. The computer works fine and all the programs on the computer open (Word, Regedit, SFC, Defrag, etc.) These are new error messages and I was able to download everything fine a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't matter which site I go to I still get the error messages. I have applied batch files, fixed the .exe file association, dial-a-fix, you name it I have tried it. Nothing has worked in solving these two error messages. I have a feeling the problem is in the Registry. I think I need to associate the .exe file association with the correct Window Class. Or the Windows Installer is messed up. But I can't fix it because I can't download anything to fix it with unless it would be a registry fix. But I have no idea how to do this or why everything got messed up in the first place. I cannot open the update to the windows installer. I cannot open the Visual Basic update. I cannot open Sun Java not even the Offline Version. I can download these programs just not open them. Now some executables that I download are opening like Dial-A-Fix, CCleaner, Hi-Jack This and Advanced Windows Care. I have run SFC. Done the Virus and Spyware scan too. I would sure appreciate any and/or all help with this. I am going nuts! My OS is Windows XP Pro. Are these common errors? Thank you in advance for any assistance. I really appreciate it. Richard
