Temp files windows opens on start up

what's wow64? & all i canfind is win themes & win desk, is there a way i can find what i uninstalled recently?

Hi,

wow64 has to do with running 32 bit programs on 64 bit Windows.

For uninstalled programs  - Open section Windows Logs sub-section Application - sort by

Source column (click it) - look for Msinstaller by scrolling that column - "most all" will have

Event ID 1034 though there might be others.

                                          Source        Event ID

                                       Msinstaller       1034   

Open Event Viewer

Or use this which is easier :

**MyEventViewer - Free - a simple alternative to the standard event viewer of Windows.**TIP - Options - Advanced Filter allows you to see a time frame instead of the whole file.

Again click the Source Column - scroll the the Msinstaller section - look mostly for Event ID 1034.

Its all very complicated for me, i did find 2 1034 events but they were for programs i still have on my laptop, although there is a **** of a lot of Error Warning ones could they be the reason?

i wish i had someone who could remotely access my system i'm terrified of doing something to damage my system

Hi,

In Autoruns it is most likely in the top section on the Logon Tab - also check the Explorer

tab - though it can be in others.

In Event Viewer there can be other events than 1034 though all should be under the Msinstaller

column.

I've discovered the cause of the problem, its to do with Google Chrome I haven't solved the problem, I've switched browsers i'm now using IE & it hasn't popped up since.

I'm presuming its something to do with the browser settings but as I don't know how to adjust the settings, I've decided to stick with IE to save all the hassle and frustration.

Thank you so much for all your help and advice, I really appreciate it :)
