For the last two weeks i have been very lazy and each night i've hibernated my laptop instead of shutting down! I shut my computer down last night, and my problems have all occured this morning!! All i have been doing in the last two weeks on my laptop is general web browsing on fb, battlelog, youtube etc, but NO downloads, not a single download or entering any dodgey sites! I've also used CCleaner to clean my PC up aswell, it fixed regestry issues, deleted temp files etc, its a program i trust and have used for years! I have two accounts on my laptop, my account with administrator powers and a guest account (only i used the PC though). I first logged onto my general account, everything seemed normal, icon appearing etc! However whenever i try to open any programs, off desktop, through target route etc the program will not open at all! the process will show up on taskmanager but will not appear on my screen-web browsers are my beautiful example- however IE9 will open but will instantly freeze and crash, if a program will open then it will shortly after stop responding! Folders/explorer also stops responding show had to be terminated in explorer-only option, however i now have to restart explorer by the command ''%windir%\explorer.exe'' and when i try to open a folder/ my computer ect i know get two error messages ''There is not enough free memory to run this program. Exit one or more programs, and then try again'' and ''the procedure call failed and did not run'' After these errors, taskmanager starts to freeze at times, but i am now useless and cannot do anything! The only fixes for the ''the procedure call failed and did not run'' error i have researched does not work!! I managed to run full virus scans with avast! and windows security essentials by installers off external drives! avast! found 8 threats, java appdata, windows live contained one somehow also!! after a restart after lunch, i got a black screen after log on and wallpaper, icons, taskbar, etc, would not appear but i could still bring up task manager by ctrl+shift+esc, folders i brough up would freeze if i tried to open files/apps! i cannot run cmd/ other apps by ''run as administrator'' because the will not appear. i can open cmd normally however if i try to run sfc scans and repairs, cmd says i cannot do the process because i am not an adminstrator when i clearly am! I have more luck accessing my guest acc at the moment! explorer will launch correctly but i still cannot open files and because cmd is locked out, i can't launch apps by ''run as administrator'' and command prompt commands will not respond- i am still unable to do anything!! maybe 1 in 5 times i can get my normal account to load with taskbar, icons etc but even with that i am powerless!! I have got a windows 7 professional 64 bit disk which i have also used on start up to fix start up errors etc, i've used them allto see if it would help...but no! all system restore points have gone, and i cannot restore by an image because my PC will no longer accept external drives and partitons and files larger than 64gb!! control panel options will also not respond/work!! the only working programs are microsoft office, avast!, and sometimes visual studio 2010! notepad is no option avaliable to solve my program. PLEASE can someone with a little more knowledge help me, i've done what i can but i need some serious help because i think its my registry which i f*cked!! Many thanks, much love!!!!!!

You could try setting your computer back to factory specs. But that would wipe out anything you have put on the computer since you've owned it. What brand and model of computer do you have? There should be a partition on the hard drive to access during the boot sequence.

Yeah i am hoping to keep all my documents etc, especially as the laptop isn't recognising external drives larger than 64gb and explorer is continuously crashing, so i cant transfer them easily! My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5732ZG, CPU-Intel pentium processor T4400 and GPU- ATi Mobilility Radeon HD 4570 (512mb) <-- in case this may also help! There is a system reserved (E:) partition 70.1MB free of 101MB!!

Hi, Try to disable UAC to check if you can run as administrator. Go to Start -> type "UAC" into the search field, and click the "User Account Control Settings" link. Move the slider to the "Never Notify" position. In addtion, Do you comupter can start normally in Safe mode and clean boot?

You might be able to run a system restore instead. Basically "system restore" is a built in program in windows that rolls your computer settings back to a previous date without having to re install windows. Here is a link that provides details on how to run it. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/system-restore

Simple Solution!!! Go to this link http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html 1.Download Iobit Advanced System care Free 2. Intall it 3. Perform a "Deep care" 4.Repair and your Problems Solved!!! Let me know if it helps...

You can use the Ultimate Boot CD to get your files off. Then reformat the computer, install everything fresh, then take an image of the hard drive and save that to an external drive. It is time consuming but it will work. If this problem happens again you can restore the image.

Thanks for everyone's help and advice got my PC working now finally!! Squall_7 took ages for the program to run because i had no restore points and no applications could run at all!! to keep it simple and basic my hours of toiling have worked and when i was able to use the deep clean it found a lot of issues, especially with deep registry clean!! Thanks for the link, solved extra issues i couldn't normally solve!!

No problem. Happy to help!! Peace...
