Many programs refuse to run with APPRCRASH/wininet.dll errors.

Anak · 06 Mar 2013

Hi guys,

On some win 7 systems itunes can cause problems being that it is an apple product, that is not to say that either is a bad product, just sometimes they can be incompatible and can cause problems.

First, we need to know more about this crash, just to be sure what caused your machine to crash in the first place.
B, can you run this tool, located here? Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions Please post the results back here in this thread.

If it still reports that itunes was indeed the culprit of your "recent" crash I have some steps to take to help.

I also need to know if you have quicktime installed. And, what type of antivirus/malware you're running.

The problem is not simply with iTunes, it is with many programs that all yield similar errors. I just posted the iTunes error report as an example. Is there a way to manually reinstall wininet.dll? Since many of the affected programs use the internet and Chrome closes when attempting downloads, I think that some windows internet component stopped working, and since wininet.dll is mentioned when the programs close, that seems like a good place to start.

If you are questioning the tried and true methods of troublshooting, then no, I beg to differ.

A good place to start is posting that .wdg report . Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions

If you refuse to do that, I can not help you.

To be clear, I didn't actually use the disc as install media--I just used the associated key for a windows anytime upgrade to ultimate over my OEM installation. Trying to repair iTunes through the Control Panel did not solve anything.

Sorry, I didn't see your post before I'd responded to an earlier one :]

The Dump All results folder is attached.

I don't believe I have Quicktime installed, and I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials.

I just attempted an sfc /scannow. It "found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". I've attached the log file. It seems to identify wininet.dll as corrupt:

Run the SFC /scannow at least three times successively with restarts in between each run.

See Note after Option Two, step #4 here: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Note

If SFC could not fix something, then run the command again to see if it may be able to the next time. Sometimes it may take running the sfc /scannow command 3 or more times to completely fix everything that it's able to.
If not, then you can attempt to run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the bad file occured to fix it. You may need to repeat doing a System Restore until you find a older restore point that may work.
If still not, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the OPTION THREE section below to manually replace the files that SFC could not fix

Thank you for posting the .CBS log.

And please go back to where you posted the MGADIAG report in post #15 and encase the report in the Code box, you missed step #7 in the tutorial.

Go to post #15 and click on the edit button in the lower right corner.
Highlight the report and click on the # icon in the reply to thread menu .
You should see this around your highlight. CODE /CODE in brackets.
If preview looks good , then submit.
Do the same for the report you just posted.
You will be amazed at the difference it will make in your thread.

In the meantime, I'm getting another post ready to reply to your .wdg report

Whoops, sorry! Hopefully it looks better now.

Beo1 · 06 Mar 2013

I believe I have the current, uncorrupted version of the wininet.dll file, and I'd like to replace my corrupt version in System32/SysWOW64. Are there any Windows utilities or simple commands I can write up and put on an external disc to overwrite my wininet.dll file?

Edit: It looks like the tip with copying files off of the Windows DVD will also work if I already have the file. Thanks, I'll give that a try :]
