[Speccy Failure to Run]

Also getting this error. I was getting this before but I thought it was from the install/older version of Speccy. I recently got a virus and had to do a complete reinstall and got this:

 

 

 

edit: this is xp pro 32bit SP3 from "TinyXP"

 

Yep, that's the screen that I'm getting.

Try reinstalling Speccy

 

I've removed and reinstalled Speccy several times. I might mention that now it doesn't even recognize the O/S. I ran cpuz_154 without a problem. It functioned perfectly.

Try updating the Visual C++ Runtime : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a7b7a05e-6de6-4d3a-a423-37bf0912db84&displaylang=en

 

PS : XP on a computer like that ? Is Dell mad ?

 

Already running VC++ 2008. New v. of VC++ is dated 4-12-2010, so wouldn't have any application to this problem but updated anyway. I don't understand the comment about my PC & WinXP, SP3. It came w/XP, before Vista & Win7 were published. Vista has come and gone and will be an orphan very shortly. Win7 is way too new for my taste.

Is there anything 'different'' about your pc that might cause this? Not that I'm aware of

 

Did you build the pc yourself? No, machine is a Dell XPS400, 2.8ghz dual-core with 4GB RAM

 

Was the operating system pre-installed? (if you didn't build it) Yes, preinstalled. Been reinstalled and updated.

 

Visual basic runtimes up to date? I have no idea

 

All virus/malware checks up to date? Yes. Use AVG9 and Malwearbytes

 

Any other thing you have noticed that your pc does that perhaps others don't? May be having a video card issue. Being discussed with BFG Tech Support

 

If you use Ccleaner does it show what your graphics card is in the top lefthand corner when you open ccleaner up? Yes, see attached file

That's certainly helpful.

Try reinstalling Speccy

 

I've removed and installed Speccy a couple of times. That is not the answer.

I have posted about this problem before but got no useful suggestion. I suspect that the answer is pretty simple but I don't know what it is. Speccy runs, but is providing no useful information. It sees the correct O/S but shows "Class Not Registered" for every other item. See the attachment. Any suggestions?

I just downloaded and installed the most recent version of speccy. Although it appears to have installed, and gives me an opening screen, it only recognizes the O/S (WXP Pro, Sp3). Every other component is shown as "Class not registered". Is something preventing speccy from running?
