Error with Appcompat.txt

**Reece** · 30-03-2009

Hi,

I'm here to get some info about Appcompat.txt, whenever any program
doesn't run on my pc, it gives me path to

C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER9.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt.

Can anyone explain me what this files means too? is it anything like my pc is infected?

I'm hoping some good suggestions. Thanks for any help.

Appcompat.txt is not the problem. It contains information about the problem. About which application you getting this error?

You'll need to run lots of anticrapware programs to solve this one. Update antivirus signatures, run adaware (or whatever you may use). A registry cleaner wouldn't hurt either.

The appcompat.txt Tells you where the problem is with which application or what ever is causing it to crash. Check through the txt file for dll names to see if you can track what is causing the crash.

If you are using xp Click start then run in this box type sfc / scannow, there is a space after sfc . This will run the windows file checker and will ask for your install cd if it finds any thing a miss.

Run a anti virus scan and spyware scans just in case.
