osCheck has stopped working in Vista - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

underpressure02 · 11-10-2008, 02:13 PM

I have a Lenovo laptop with windows Vista installed on it. It has been working without any issues until about 5 mins ago. I went to update my iPhone and needed to install the new version of iTunes. I downloaded and installed it and prompted for a reboot. When the computer rebooted and I logged in I am getting osCheck has stopped working along with 0x800106ba Windows Defender error in Windows Vista. If I click close program on the osCheck error I also get aim6.exe corrupt file. I tried to run check disk and it does not appear to be working. When I go into the process I see a bunch of them are stopped if I try and start them I just get an error message. I search for osCheck on google and found this thread below. I checked the security on those files and they were fine. The computer is totally useless right now. Everything is missing under my all programs, and I can not connect to the internet or anything on that computer. Does it have something to do with the iTunes update or was that just coquincdental? The computer came with Norton.

Any help would be great.

Chad, go into the bios and run the hard drive (hdd) self test. Make sure thats good before going any further.

Thanks. I actually fixed it last night. After spending about 10 hours on the POS computer. I am not even sure what I did but everything is working now. I hate vista.

Simple solution.
