I would like to add diagnostic tools like diskwizard to the YUMI men but I'm unable to convert an exe file format to an ISO. Can you help me?

An exe is an exacutable file. Can be a linux exe... but I think you mean a windows exe(?????)
What diskwizard are you talking about?

For instance, I downloaded Seagate's Diskwizard, a program that diagnosis and fixes errors on the Seagate hard drive I use. The file runs under Windows 7 and it is in exe format. YUMI - "Your Universal Multi Installer" is a Linux based program that will accept ISOs. It has a folder on its menu for diags and I would like to import several that I customarily run but they are all in exe format.

Many of us use, and recommend, CCleaner which has a good, not too aggressive registry cleaner.

CCleaner - Update (Click the No Thanks button for the free version.)

Thank you for reference to instructions on how to attach a file. I used snip-it to copy two error messages from Event Viewer into a Word document and saved it to my desktop. Then I attached it to this post.

Thanks to help from this forum I have reduced the number of errors on my desktop computer from about a dozen to only 3. Any advice on these two errors will be appreciated.

System Error Information 3-3

Problem solved, the date was entered incorrectly; I had 2001, after I changed it to 2013 36 updates were made.

DistributedCom error 10016 solved - used Regedit to change owner and then update Permissions. :)

Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service: startup ype "disabled"?
Net.Pipe Listener Adapter Service: startup type "disabled"?

Hello Kaktussoft,

Thank you for your help. I am sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I just noticed this thread has 2 pages.

Net.tcp Port Sharing service has been started

Net.Pipe Listener Adapter - Windows could not start - error 1075 dependency service does not exist
Net.Msmq Listener Adapter - Windows could not start - error 1075 dependency service does not exist
Net.TCP Listener Adapter - Windows could not start - error 1075 dependency service does not exist

These 3 services are set to start automatically. When I click Start error 1075 appears and when I click on the Dependencies tab it says no dependencies. What am I doing wrong?

In registry goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\NetPipeActivator
That displays all settings of NetPipeActivator services. Look to the right side of screen. You see DependOnService=was
So it is depended of service "was". That's a service that doesn't exist. Same here on my machine. Quite normal maybe, or a common bug.

Anyway... the 4 services should have startup type=disabled. At least my 2 machines have that setting.

Thank you for telling me about auslogics. I downloaded the Free version. When I ran it found more than 100 errors and removed them.

How do you backup the registry?

Ok I disabled them. Then I cleared the log file and rebooted and looked at Event Manager. There were no System Errors and no Application errors.

Thank you Katussoft.
