Old Programs not starting (APPCRASH) Error!
Hello i have a problem relating to running programs that were relatively meant to run in Winxp(x32bit).
Although they would run in Vista and Win7.
I am in Win7(x32bit), i havn't updated to SP1 or installed some updates.
I do not even believe its an update issue because prior to having this problem the programs
were running fine, its just recently it has stopped working and i am getting this error.
I do not know how to troubleshoot, where do i even begin to look for fixing this error.
Also i have problem with running games; old light games to be precise.
So what would be the solution for this problem. My Pc actually came with Winxp(x32bit) preinstalled.
I have updated it to Win7(Retail ver), few years back.
Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thank you.Previously Win7 showed lot of errors like:
1. When runing chkdsk during boot, it showed some errors and it fixed it. That error too existed,
when i had turned on Hibernate option to ON. Way before this present APPCRASH error existed.
2.I run an anti-virus specifically to deal with USB viruses called SMADAV 2016. I checked everything
and it only shows desktoplayer.exe virus. Which creates itself and the antivirus detects it and
removes it.
3.I am using a Restored OS (backup) of few years back, like 2016.
4.I do not understand, it feels clanky and shaky. Something could happen and a new error would come
up again. I am tired of this error, i cannot look after a pc. I am not an IT guy.
But i also do not like errors. All i use in Internet, few programs and games and music.
Maybe few years back it downloaded malware but i dont think its the reason for this APPCRASH error.
