please please help i am on the verge on smashing my laptop up, cant access
hardly anything on internet, as keep getting this message"microsoft feeds
synchronization has stopped working" can anyone anyone help me before i
smash laptop up please

I think maybe 'restoring to factor defaults' is preferable to 'recycling' in
this case. :/ Turing off all your feeds might do something. You can check
the report in the Network tools. A 'reset to defaults' for the Internet
Explorer might let you start fresh, and set it all up again. (IE, tools
menu, Options, Advanced tab, 'reset' button)

I am getting the same error and am also unable to access hardly anything
on the internet - google, gmail, yahoo etc. Firefox then crashes,
internet explorer isn't any better.

has anyone found a solution to this? I'm also had notions of smashing
up the pc, or wiping it completely and replacing Vista with something
that works reliably for more than 5 mins. I'm new to Vista and this
Forum, but so far my experiences with Vista are non too positive....

I am also getting the following RunDLL error on startup, not sure if it
is related.

"Error loading C:\Windows\system32\hxkqfkok.dll. The specified module
could not be found"

I've searched and found this could be virus related, I will do a full
virus scan shortly.

same exact thing happening to me. anyone ever find the proper solution?
i'm surprised i was able to access this forum even. I'd ask over at the
micro****e forums but they don't seem to be working.

I thought it might have has something to do with the microsoft.net
framework assistant that was secretly installed as an addon in firefox
recently which cannot be un-installed.

What is the EXACT error message you are getting?
the previous poster's problem was almost certainly caused by a virus.

no, I don't think it was a virus. don't know what it was. I scanned the
machine thoroughly. What I did then was try to do a system restore. It
was about to do it until it said I couldn't do one as something was up
and I'd have to fix that first and asked whether I wanted to.

I said yeah. It said well you can't do that until you restart the
machine - do you want to do that? I said fine.

It took about an hour and a half to scan through everything in five
stages. the fourth was the longest where it scanned and fixed all files.


every now and again, it would delete something or patch something. then
it booted up and I haven't had a problem since.

didn't even end up doing the system restore.

before all of that, it kept saying 'file sychronization has stopped
working' 'windows explorer has stopped working' 'looking for a
solution' (to infinity) and all my programs kept crashing especially if
i opened more than one. I only had chrome and firefox open.

I was wondering if it had anything to do with the 'microsoft.net
framework assistant' addon that was secretly installed in firefox in the
last update which is impossible to uninstall and which I had just
recently disabled prior to the big cock-up. I have it enabled now just
in case but would love to know why micro****e want to compromise my
security with a clandestine addon I can't remove.

should allow you to get rid of the offending article..
You really must do better in problem-solving than you above
description if you want help - there's almost nothing there to get to
grips with and no detailed error messages- which are essential if
anyone is to help.
I gather your problem is now solved?

Yes it is, Thanks Noel. The OP and other posters described my problem
dead on.

Thanks for the links too.
