[SOLVED] ERRORS: No Such Interface Supported
I wasn't sure where to post this (BSOD crashes, maintenance and fixes, etc...) so i just put it here. ADMIN feel free to move it to the correct spot
First the catalyst:
caught the virus "av antivirus 2012" and manually removed it.
system worked fine until i rebooted.
(i hibernated instead of shut down for a few days, the processes were dead so no urgent need to reboot during self-repair hotfix. I'm very good at removing viruses. even Vundo)
Now the symptoms:
Clicking on.....
My Computer: "No Such Interface Supported"
c:\ "No Such Interface Supported"
Explorer.exe: opens in the background and is idle. does not open a folder.
Any control panel: "No Such Interface Supported"
the symptoms were much worse but i managed to get it to this point.
Repairs already attempted from reading other posts:
-installed the latest IExplorer (even though i use Firefox. saw this on several threads)
-re-registered all .DLL files (Windows 7 Error "No such interface supported" - Operating Systems)
-Attempting making a new user account - new user account has the same problem
-Attempted copying CLASS and CLSID keys from administrator account to the effected user account (Administrator account works fine.)
-Attempted restoring default file associations downloaded from TinyLimp er.. i mean MicroSoft
Repairs unable to make:
no Win7 CD to do an install fix. (can't create one either, CD burner is fried)
Points of interest:
the Administrator account is unaffected and works fine.
any New User Account i create is having the same issues.
Current thought of error:
error must be contained in the user account registry OR in the user account profile folders. I say this because the Administrator account has no symptoms, but any newly created user accounts do.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'd hate to lose all the installs that are exclusive to this user only.
