| | Windows cannot install the specified device error I am running windows 7 64bit and have started getting "windows cannot start the specified device, file or path." error messages everytime I try to open a program that is 32bit. The 64 bit programs are no problem. It just started after I ran Malwarebytes. I am the only user on this computer, so all programs are opened as an administrator. I tried to open a new user account to see if my UAC was bad, but it won't let me open a new account. I have run Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender and both had no problem shown. What do I need to do to get the 32 bit programs to run? |
