Do you have Advanced System Care installed?

If so, please try to uninstall it via Add/Remove Programs.

Louis

ok just tried to uninstall Advance System Care it would not let me got this
error Data Error (cyclic redundancy check).

<<Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)>>

OK...go Start/Run...type chkdsk /r and hit Enter. Type Y in new screen and hit Enter. Reboot the system.

The chkdsk /r command will attempt to run before the system boots into Windows. Just leave it alone, it may take some time for the command to complete. If it stops and displays an error message, please write it down.

If chkdsk /r is successful, the system should boot properly and Windows should work properly afterwards.

Louis

ok sry ,but i typed it in and double checked typing got message, that said "it could not find that file please check typing or try another" thanks for your time btw

just wondering should I type command first?

No, you probably don't have a space betweeen chkdsk and / .

It's a common mistake for those who haven't used the command before.

Louis

ok got the demand to work, when I go to reboot says it is hybernating,seemed strange,anyways rebooted windows just comes right back up ,try to click on icon "OneCare" got same error "application failed to execute"..any suggestions

PS I felt as if id did not check anything as Windows comes right back up so quickly as if nothing happened.

Are you saying that you typed the command properly...hit Enter...rebooted...and the command did not run?

FWIW, per http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials/onecare:

"As of October 2009, Windows Live OneCare sales were discontinued worldwide. Product support ended on April 11, 2011, and billing support ended on or before June 30, 2011, depending on individual subscription end dates.

We recommend that you choose another antivirus solution, such as Microsoft Security Essentials, the no-cost, easy-to-use antivirus software for home and small business customers with PCs running genuine Windows. Before you install another antivirus solution, however, you'll first need to uninstall OneCare from your PC (Show me how: Windows XP | Windows Vista."

You have an obsolete program "protecting" your system...and you have Iobit's Avanced System Care installed...I suggest removing both of those permanently and forgetting that they exist.

If chkdsk /r will not run...I would think that you have serious system file problems...and/or hard drive problems.

Louis

yes it said prepareing to hibernate not shutdown when rebooting could I still be in safe mode and not know?any other suggestions, I felt doing my research that the installer is corrupted ,that upon my brother shutting down improperly while playing the game messed up the installer any other suggestions? I am going to try and uninstall advance system care again thanks

Shutting down improperly...can damage any number of files.

That's one reason why...often after such, Windows will trigger the 3-part mandatory check, running chkdsk. But this is not the best alternative, since it's only 3-step, while chkdsk /r results in a 5-step process which is more likely to overcome minor damage which may hamper Windows.

<<my brother was playing a poker game (for free)on a poker site got mad slammed down laptop cover>>

I don't know much about laptops...or how much force was involved...but I think I'd also consider the possibility of physical damage to the laptop innards...lots of electronic components packed together in a small space.
