Cannot open McAfee Security Suite

Jump to solution

The subscription is verified. The updates will download but when it tried to install them an update error appears: An error occurred while updating. Please reinstall these programs: McAfee Interent Security Suite. The window will open but it is a blank page. When trying to uninstall the McAfee Security Center  the window opens but it is a blank page.

Hi,

I believe there might be some problem with the Operating System files. (Windows files might be corrupted or damaged)

I think the restore that you tired of you own was not successful for some reason. So, kindly update us about the status once after contacting the Acer Support.

We appreciate your patience and co-operation.

Hi,

A blank window is due to the script engine that is not functioning properly.

Step 1 - Reinstall Windows JScript

Step 2: For Vista OS, Re-register JScript.dll and VBScript.dll:

  • Click Start and select Search.
  • In the Search box, type CMD and click OK.
  • In the Search results window, right-click CMD and select Run as Administrator.
  • In the command prompt, type REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL and press ENTER.
  • After the confirmation message is displayed, type REGSVR32 VBSCRIPT.DLL and press ENTER.
  • Close the command prompt.

Step 3: Update us on the status if you are still facing any trouble.

I appreciate all of the responses. I tried to run a restore prior to these responses and now the laptop won't restart. It's got stuck trying. I turned it off and it wanted to try  do a repair but couldn't. It tries and gets stuck trying forever. I tried to a regular start, same thing.

Hi,

Try to boot the computer in last known good configuration by following the below steps:

Restart the computer and keep tapping the F8 key on the top row of your key board until you the see the windows advanced boot menu as shown:

Then select the option last known good configuration and check whether you are able to boot the computer.

Else try with safe mode with networking

I tried both and I still get the Windows recovery screen. The first message is: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. The options are: Launch Startup Repair or Startup Normally. Using either it gets stuck trying....The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5515. Thank you again for the help.
