does anyone know what is going on in this document that whenever a program
doesnt run on my computer, it points to
this?--C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER9.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt. can
anyone explain it to me and is there a fix? is there something specifically
wrong in my machine?
 
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp is a temporary folder. Empty it.

The appcomp.txt file is created when there is a conflict between programs,
drivers, etc. It is a reporting file used when uploading error reports to
Microsoft.

If you do not want to see appcomp.txt again, disable Error Reporting.

Open System Properties...
Start | Run | Type: sysdm.cpl | Click OK |
Advanced tab | Error Reporting button | Check:
Disable Error Reporting | Check: But notify
me when critical errors occur | OK | Apply | OK

Disable Error Reporting
[[Select to disable error reporting. When this option is selected, error
reports will not be generated.]]

But notify me when critical errors occur
[[Select this option to have Windows notify you when a critical error
occurs, even if you have disabled Error Reporting.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.
