Event ID Error 7023

[Bob V]

My Desktop has very frequent 'freezeups'. Following responses to a previous
post, I went to MS KB 308427 on Event Viewer. Event Viewer identified the
problem as 'Error 7023'.

Then I went to the MS Support link shown at the bottom of the above KB. I
found this to be complicated - most often referring to MS programs that I
think I don't have on my computer. I have a simple non-networked home
computer. Now & then I download stuff via MS Downloads that maybe I don't
need, & maybe that could be causing the problem. But for me that is all
'maybes'.

If anybody has ideas on how to analyze/solve Error 7023 in my supposedly
simple computer situation I would love to hear from them.

What is the Event Source?

Event ID number by itself means nothing. That's like trying to by a pair of
pants with only the inseam size and not the waste size.

To open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Click OK

For any Events that seem related to the problem...

Double click the event in Event Viewer | Click: the button below the second
arrow (looks like two pages) [[Copies the details of the event to the
Clipboard.]] | Paste into Notepad

Hope this helps. Let us know.

As indicated in your response, I worked through to Services - Application
Management & changed it from 'Manual' to 'Disabled'. Then restarted the
desktop, & checked for the original problem. The problem persists.

BUT - each time I restart & go directly to Event Viewer, Error 7023 no
longer appears. In fact, no Errors are shown. So it appears that Error 7023
is not the source of the problem, & maybe we were led in the wrong
direction.

So what now?

NB: in case I do get back into Event IDs, & need to display
WIN_32_EXIT_CODE - where is the 'command prompt'?

Thanks for your always prompt responses. I will try the 'command prompt'
shortly. Meanwhile, re 'When does the Desktop freeze', there are 3
consistent problems, all in different programs, all of which used to work
fine:

1. I have the games program 'Sudoku'. I can play the program OK. BUT
whenever I LEFT click on 'File' (with a view to go down to 'Exit' to exit
the program) the freeze occurs.

2. I use MS Outlook. Whenever I RIGHT click on the 'Deleted Items' folder
(with a view to clearing that folder), the freeze occurs.

3. I use Norton Utilities 2002. This always opens from the Desktop icon OK,
but when I LEFT click on the 'Utilities' button (with a view to going down
to 'Win Doctor'), the Menu appears as a faint shadow in the background, &
the computer freezes. BUT, after a restart, when I go to
Start\Programs\Norton Utilities\Win Doctor - the program opens & works
fine.

Other major programs - such as MS Office - Word & Excel - don't give me
problems. Also, I run 'Registry Mechanic', which indicates no problems in
the Registry.

I hope that this additional info helps.

1. No idea, I don't play games. Maybe something below will help.

2. I don't use Outlook, but I do use Word, try Detect and Repair from the

3. Norton sucks. See if this applies...

I worked thru the first link in your last response & it seemed to help
initially, but as I did testing all the old problems recurred. At one point
it even crashed when I clicked 'Start\Run'! The problem continues with Left
clicks & Right clicks in many programs & in many situations. Shadow
sub-menus & freeze ups & total blackouts continue.

Since I'm setup on my new HP Laptop (which I love), I'm no longer dependent
on the Desktop. I have reached the point where I feel that life is too short
for me to be spending so much time trying to fix a 4 year old Desktop that I
don't need. It is all too complicated for me & I certainly don't want to get
into things that involve messing with the Registry.

Maybe in the future, just for academic interest, I'll look into reformatting
the HD & reinstalling Win XP (but I suspect that that is a lot of work
too!).

In the meantime, I'll take a break. In the last few weeks I have learned a
lot, & I give you the credit for that.

Thanks, Bob V

1. No idea, I don't play games. Maybe something below will help.

2. I don't use Outlook, but I do use Word, try Detect and Repair from the
Help menu on the Menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc., Help).

3. Norton sucks. See if this applies...

This also applies to the right click Context menu...

Thanks for your always prompt responses. I will try the 'command prompt'
shortly. Meanwhile, re 'When does the Desktop freeze', there are 3
consistent problems, all in different programs, all of which used to work
fine:

1. I have the games program 'Sudoku'. I can play the program OK. BUT
whenever I LEFT click on 'File' (with a view to go down to 'Exit' to exit
the program) the freeze occurs.

2. I use MS Outlook. Whenever I RIGHT click on the 'Deleted Items' folder
(with a view to clearing that folder), the freeze occurs.

3. I use Norton Utilities 2002. This always opens from the Desktop icon
OK, but when I LEFT click on the 'Utilities' button (with a view to going
down to 'Win Doctor'), the Menu appears as a faint shadow in the
background, & the computer freezes. BUT, after a restart, when I go to
Start\Programs\Norton Utilities\Win Doctor - the program opens & works
fine.

Other major programs - such as MS Office - Word & Excel - don't give me
problems. Also, I run 'Registry Mechanic', which indicates no problems in
the Registry.

I hope that this additional info helps.

Hi Bob,

NB: in case I do get back into Event IDs, & need to display
WIN_32_EXIT_CODE - where is the 'command prompt'?

cmd.exe is the Windows Command Processor commonly called Command Prompt.

Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK

Also...
Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Command Prompt

How or when does your Desktop freeze?

When right clicking?

In Bob V <[email protected]> hunted and pecked:
As indicated in your response, I worked through to Services -
Application Management & changed it from 'Manual' to 'Disabled'. Then
restarted the desktop, & checked for the original problem. The problem
persists.

BUT - each time I restart & go directly to Event Viewer, Error 7023 no
longer appears. In fact, no Errors are shown. So it appears that Error
7023 is not the source of the problem, & maybe we were led in the wrong
direction.

So what now?

NB: in case I do get back into Event IDs, & need to display
WIN_32_EXIT_CODE - where is the 'command prompt'?

Thanks, Bob V

If Application Management is listed in Services, set it to Disabled if
you have XP Home.

<quote>
CAUSE
The Application Management service is not supported in Microsoft
Windows XP
Home Edition, and the Appmgmts.dll file is not included with Windows
XP
Home
Edition. However, the registry setting that disables this service is
not configured correctly in Windows XP Home Edition. Therefore, the
Add
Program
routine tries to find the Appmgmts.dll file. When the Add Program
routine
cannot find the Appmgmts.dll file, the entry appears in the system
log.

Adding or removing a program may generate Event ID 7023
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328213

The Application Management service provides software installation
services,
such as Assign, Publish, and Remove. This service processes requests
to
enumerate, install, and remove applications deployed via a corporate
network. When you click Add in Add/Remove Programs on a computer
joined
to a
domain, the program calls this service to retrieve the list of your
deployed
applications.

Appmgmts.dll = Software installation Service
[[Appmgmts.dll is an MMC extension to gpedit.dll that provides
settings for Software Installation Group Policy.]]

Group Policy is not available with Windows XP Home and neither is
appmgmts.dll.

On Windows XP Professional:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Appmgmts.dll
and
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\Appmgmts.dll

Also on XP Pro CD >>>
A compressed version of appmgmts.dll is in the I386 folder.
APPMGMTS.DL_

the file.

The Source is 'Service Control Manager'. Details are - "The
Application Management service terminated with the following error:
The specified module could not be found."

Bob V

What is the Event Source?

Event ID number by itself means nothing. That's like trying to by a
pair
of
pants with only the inseam size and not the waste size.

To open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Click OK

For any Events that seem related to the problem...

Double click the event in Event Viewer | Click: the button below the
second
arrow (looks like two pages) [[Copies the details of the event to
the
Clipboard.]] | Paste into Notepad

In Bob V <[email protected]> hunted and pecked:
My Desktop has very frequent 'freezeups'. Following responses to a
previous post, I went to MS KB 308427 on Event Viewer. Event Viewer
identified the problem as 'Error 7023'.

Then I went to the MS Support link shown at the bottom of the above
KB. I found this to be complicated - most often referring to MS
programs that I think I don't have on my computer. I have a simple
non-networked home computer. Now & then I download stuff via MS
Downloads that maybe I don't need, & maybe that could be causing
the
problem. But for me that is all 'maybes'.

If anybody has ideas on how to analyze/solve Error 7023 in my
supposedly
simple computer situation I would love to hear from them.
