Hi Mel9543,

· When do you get this error message?

The werfault.exe is used for Windows Error Reporting. It is a feature that allows Microsoft to track and address errors relating to the operating system, Windows features, and applications. It gives you the option to send data about errors to Microsoft and to receive information about solutions.

You can access settings for Windows Error Reporting here: Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Problem Reports and Solutions > Change settings > Advanced settings

Try turning it off temporarily and see if this will fix the problem.

As a temporarily solution you can turn off error reporting service: press Win+R, type services.msc than find Windows Error Reporting service in the services list, right-click on it -> click Properties -> open "Startup type" list and select "Disabled" -> press OK.

Then check and see if you are still getting the werfault.exe error on opening programs.

Since you have just installed Windows 7, please verify you have updated all of your device drivers to a Windows 7 version. If you cannot do so in normal mode, then go to safe mode and verify in device manager.

Refer the link to update the drivers: Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly:**http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isnt-working-properly**

Pretend you are blind. Use Narrator for clues.

BTW it looks like this thread has been edited so I'm not going to put much effort into a reply if it looks as if it will just be deleted at some point later.

Start your own thread with your own details if you are really looking for help.

Good luck

I know that this is a very old post but I'm having this same problem when updating to windows 10. I can't do anything to fix it because all I have is a black screen. Is there any other way to fix?

Yes, some people are just whining. In particular, they want Microsoft to solve the issue, and as much as I dislike Microsoft due to unfixed issues in their software, it appears in most cases with this issue, the issue is with third party driver software (such as NVIDIA) that is out of Microsoft's control. Also, you're not likely to get nice help from Microsoft if you call them nasty names.

But, I don't read that they "can't find the system and maintenance section" in control panel. Some can't open it, because like me... they just get more errors when they try! Explorer itself is crashing on my system due to this error.

For those people, boot to safe mode! Tap the F8 key repeatedly as your system boots up until you see the safe mode menu, then select "safe mode with networking" with the arrow keys. You can then uninstall/reinstall whatever drivers from safe mode, then try rebooting normally.
