I have tried some of the solutions posted but as soon as I select anything from the Start window, it crashes.
Please help! Please don't post any solution that is very technical as I am just a dumb user! If it is complicated, please in basic step-by-step form.
I have tried to update my Avira AntiVirus but the software update fails. Last part of the error log
22:05:56 [UPD] [INFO] The program is running as an unrestricted full version.
22:05:56 [UPD] [INFO] Starting engine validation.
22:06:01 [UPD] [ERROR] Validation of engine failed. Error: 10004

You could try to do a system settings restore by going to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore. It will not do anything to your files, but it will reset most of the corrupted settings.
Please mark as answer if this solves your problem. Thanks!-Noah J. Buscher "Nothing is Impossible Until Proven Impossible."

Hi
Here are few things you can try you can restore the system to an earlier point when it was working fine.
Go to Start>All programes>Accessories>System Tool> System Restore after doing this hopefully you
will get the solution . you must update the window and Antivirus if you have installed. Do the Disk Defrag
as well because after System Restore computer start running Slow. do the Disk cleanup too. Delete all cookies
or prefetch and Temp files . Here is one more Idea create a new account on your computer and try to run the application you face the problem with using new account on the computer. Please let me know if it was helpfull
Thanks & Best Regards
