Bizarre Issues with Windows 7

[Jaydenn]

I've had this problem come and go and have tried everything to resolve it. Program icons don't load and instead are blank. "My Computer" doesn't load anything, it appears to be loading, but nothing ever appears. Context menus (on files and folders) do not load and usually crash the current explorer window.

Here are some screenshots:

"System call failed" after trying to open (Computer/Control Panel/Videos, etc) from the start menu:

What I've tried:
- Restarting my computer.
- System integrity violation scanner.
- Virus/malware scanning.
- Clean booting.
- Ensuring necessary services are enabled and running. (RPC, etc)
- Updating windows.
- Updating drivers.
- Troubleshooting.

Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?

Thank you.

do you have the original install dvd disks? If you do then you can try booting from it and running it's Repiar program.

Maybe the hard drive is failing?

Maybe the hard drive is failing?

Or full.

It seems unlikely for the harddrive to be the culprit. http://puu.sh/3SK5p.png

I will try this, thank you.

I think it's from Windows, maybe some libraries aren't registered as Explorer's services, hence the strange behavior.

Have you tried registering them with regsvr32.exe?

I figured out what the problem is. DllHost.exe and Acronis True Image 2013.

I simply disabled two services, Acronis Nonstop Backup and Acronis Sync Agent, and now the issue is gone.
