The programs I have problems with are all media encoding softwares like Megui, Handbrake, Nero 9, and VLC Media Player. This would include numerous games like COD4, F.E.A.R., Left 4 Dead, and many others. I should mention that everything else I've installed works fine. I'm behind a linux nat and thoroughly scan all downloads and software prior to installation. No, I'm afraid it's probably not a virus. I've checked my program files and directories and don't see any suspiciously renamed exe's, so whatever that trojan was, this one isn't it. That is, of course, assuming that Windows Defender even has the capability to find such a trojan if it did in fact ever exist. I would think that if the system was infected it would have found something by now.

In fact, I've had Windows Defender scheduled to run a full system scan every night since I've installed Windows 7. I've run Windows Defender on "full scan" and it hasn't found any malware, viruses, etc. Could this be it? Another Windows security "kill the script" fix?
#Iw3sp.exe has stopped working windows 10 .exe
Could this be problem? Seems like the OS is roundly rejecting the com object as something whole and natural and "belonging."Īlso just realized that the programs that throw the "exe has stopped working" error likely either shell out via a bat file or by marshaling the handle. All of these programs I'm having issue with were programmed in C++ (likely Cygwin or some variant). An OS that doesn't run exe files is pretty useless. I'll be going back to Vista SP2 pretty soon if I can't get this fixed. Also, running in compatability mode seems to have no meaningful effect. There's some cascading effect here that's slowly but surely crippling my system. Doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason as to why. Now I'm seeing this error message "exe has stopped working" more and more frequently with various programs. It worked the first couple of times, but now I get the error message "vlc.exe has stopped working" and then the OS subsequently kills the process. Megui initially opened, but then caused a memory dump that killed the OS. So I'd thought I'd try megui thinking it was a compatability issue. I first noticed it when handbrake quit working. Everything was running great up until this weekend, just the occassional memory dump every now and again.
