larrynose Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Hello all, I ran into a couple of issues today while trying to save data on a excel sheet and also while trying to simply delete/rename files etc. I got a few messages from Invalid MS-DOS function to sharing violation to file formats don't match. So I ran sfc and got no violations found message. I ran avg tuneup and found a number of registry errors. Not sure if that is an accurate account of the actual number of registry errors or not. Also not sure if its a sneaky malware or os problem (I did run some win 10 updates recently..) or just an issue with anti-virus s/w? I am not quite sure how to go about fixing this. Could someone please help me guide through it? Thanks in advance. PS: I have included the screen shots of the msgs I get when I try to save data on an xlsx file..

zlim Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 1. What version of Windows? 2. What version of Excel? Do you have the image you are trying to post uploaded to a site that allows hotlinking? If you are trying to attach an image file to your post by uploading it here, I think that feature no longer works at this site. You can upload anonymously here http://www.imagebam.com/ and hotlink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrynose Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Sorry for the late reply guys. I use Windows 10 and Excel 2013. I do not know what has happened. I had to run a couple more updates that weren't getting installed yesterday and today I am able to rename/copy/edit excel/jpg files. But, I would still like to know why it happened. Heres the link for the images..

goretsky Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hello, Do you have any problems saving the files to another location on the computer, or to an external device (USB flash drive, external hard disk, etc.)?

larrynose Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hello, Do you have any problems saving the files to another location on the computer, or to an external device (USB flash drive, external hard disk, etc.)? Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Nope. None at all. Only when the thing mucked up, I couldn't move, copy, rename, delete or edit any files in the folder or the desktop. The PC ANalyzer on AVG still shows 296 registry errors though. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hello, From looking around, I haven't found an exact match for this error, but some similar problems suggest it might be due to issues with the file system. You might want to try running a Chkdsk (filename: CHKDSK.EXE) and if it finds (and fixes) any problems. Also, it probably would be a good idea to run the System File Checker (filename: SFE.EXE) afterwards to make sure there are no issues with the operating system, either.

zlim Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Don't trust whatever AVG PC Analyzer tells you. https://malwaretips.com/threads/avg-pc-analyzer-vs-others-can-it-be-trusted.6903/ Do run the two programs Aryeh mentioned and forget about PC Analyzer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Crow Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Used to use the Comodo suite for this sort of prob . May not be to all tastes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrynose Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks Aryeh, Zlim and Capt. Crow for your response. I ran chkdsk and sfc and found no issues at all. Do run the two programs Aryeh mentioned and forget about PC Analyzer. Looks like that is all that is needed! Thank you once again guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
