Application Error 0x3003a657: Could Not Access Control Panel

Asked By Heidi Alcantara 0 points N/A Posted on - 01/04/2012

Every time I executed the Task Manager and shutdown or restart my computer, I keep getting the message error “dwwin.exe Application error…the instruction at "0x3003a657" referenced memory at "0x00a65a4d", the memory could not be "read", click OK to terminate the program” and such. Aside from this, I’m currently unable to add and remove programs, and use other utilities in the Control Panel. I’ve tried fixing the problems by downloading software which fixes my registry, but still no luck. I’m really at the end of my wits; any form of help is deeply appreciated.

Hello,

Possible cause of this problem:

1.      Your computer might be infested by malware so use an anti-virus and cleanup it

2.      System file may missing from system directory so repair windows with a CD/DVD

To fix Desktop Windows manager or dwwin.exe you used registry cleaner third party software). Make it manually _

1.      Click start .

2.      Then select RUN program

3.      Type REGEDIT

4.      Find this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion AeDebug

5.      Now set value

6.      “auto” value: 0

7.      Reboot your system

Hope It will work.

Wow, Brooke Kstri gave me a very helpful step by step guide. I followed it, I run regedit and located HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion AeDebug. Then, I changed the auto value to 0. Restart the system and done! Thank you very much!
