Program has stopped working -_-

[tthompsj]

I'm sure many of us have encountered this problem, and before I hear from people who say "you need to check to make sure other threads haven't been made about this", I already did...and their solutions didn't help. Hence, the starting of my own thread.

I've never really had a problem with computer games on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905) before until I bought and played that cursed Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4. That game crashed and glitched it's way into my personal file of Hell :devil:. Ever since I uninstalled and burned the game (okay, I just broke it and trashed it), any game I play on here has been crashing at the title screen with a " ________ has stopped working. Please wait while Windows checks for a solution", upon which a solution is never found. I've researched (aka googled) and a lot of people are associating it with a Flash 10 problem. I did have to upgrade to Flash 10 when I got the Lego Harry Potter so it could be this, but I haven't gotten a fix for it. Anyway, any help whatsoever is greatly appreciated. Seems like I can't play anything on this laptop anymore and it's driving me bonkers.

Thanks in advance

Have you uninstalled flash 10?

[tthompsj]

Yes. I've uninstalled it, tried to run a game and still it crashes. I've also downgraded back to Flash 9....still a no-go. However, from what I've read about other people with the Flash 10 bug...even when they've done the same thing...the games/programs still crash.

Best case might be to do a system restore back from before you installed the Lego game.

If not, try reinstalling the graphics drivers. Also open command prompt (right click and run as admin) and type: sfc /scannow

+ 1

+ 1 and while you are at it, do an upgrade to the sound drivers as well... it wouldn't hurt

Even if you do a system restore, I would also do a Fresh Uninstall/Install of the drivers if you see something fishy with the new games you play.

 

[tthompsj]

Nope...didn't work.

 

[Lordbob75]

Nope...didn't work.

Which one?

the more info you provide on the problem, the faster we can help but if we can only assume, the help will slow down.

 

[tthompsj]

system restore didn't work, nor did re-installing the graphic drivers .

I did the sfc /scannow in command prompt and after it finished scanning, it stated pretty much that everything was fine.

 

[Lordbob75]

Pretty much? Did it say that it found ANY violations?

~Lordbob

 

[tthompsj]

Nope. I just ran the scan again and no violations have been found. ( I mean I guess that's a GOOD thing...but I was hoping something would be found so that it could fix my problem )

 

[Lordbob75]

There still has to be something wrong or corrupt with your computer, so it is somewhat surprising that nothing was found.

You could try running a repair install from your Windows Disc.
