I recently started getting an error on boot that I cannot find the cause of. The error box is white and states:
The program or feature " \??\C:\a\.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
There is also a small black box that comes up along with the white one that is labeled "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe. Except for that title at the top of the box, the box is blank. The computer is a Lenovo Y580 Gaming Laptop, with Windows 7 64-bit operating system installed. I haven't installed anything recently that would cause the error. I did upload MalwareBytes anti-malware software, and did a full scan, which showed nothing. I also have avast free antivirus on the machine with a scan that shows no problems. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, short of deleting each and every program on the laptop one at time? Thanks for your assistance.
