    Too many 16 bit programs running error

    After installing Java Runtime, I have some strange errors on some of my computers. Windows Explorer becomes unresponsive and then strange message pops up claiming that too many 16 bit programs are running.
    There aren't any 16 bit programs on these computers. The OS is Windows 7 x86 SP1 fully updated. There aren't any 16 bit programs running, nor installed. No active instances of NTVDM or anything like this. Seems like it's a problem with UAC/consent.exe/ when trying to elevate the execution of certain programs. But the information about the issue is scarce. Is there anybody around here who has encountered this issue?

    Useful conversions. I don't "speak" imperial. Please use metric, if you want to address me.

      Re: Too many 16 bit programs running error

      After some searching the only clue is that this is due to a bug in consent.exe.
      This executable is responsible for the elevation of a program after UAC asks for credentials. There are many similar questions in the Internet about this, but no actual fixes. For some older systems like WindowsVista, recommended action is to uninstall certain update for consent. But this is Windows7 x86 SP1 fully updated from Microsoft.com. There aren't any such updates to uninstall.
      My issue is that after I try to run Java Runtime as admin, the UAC prompt shows, I enter credetentials, but after this nothing happens. Neither Java Runtime setup starts, nor there is error message. And Explorer becomes unresponsive. When I try to restart the PC, this message appears.

        Yeah that is what my research turned up too, though relating to other programs

        Maybe you could install 7 on another system temporarily and copy consent in safe mode

          Running Line Voltage and Integrating LED Pods - Automotive
          by FALKLAN
          Howdy everyone! I hope all is well where ever you are!

          I'm attempting to integrate a couple of LED pods into an automotive reverse lamp circuit. The problem being, while the vehicle is running there is a 8.5v current present on the reverse lamp power wire. Needless to say is that all LED pods and lights dimly illuminate while the 8.5v is present, so the LEDs are always powered on while the vehicle is running. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the voltage changes to 12 volts.

          I am uncertain how to convert this line into a switched 12v output line for the LED pods....

          ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th Gen running only at 400 MHz
          by rumpumpel1
          Oberservation:
          X1 Carbon 4th Gen runs very slowly. Task manager shows the CPU running at 400 MHz.
          In rare cases (1 out of 20) it runs at normal speed.
          It does so when running on battery or only with the charger.
          When both are connected - charger and battery (50% charged) - the system switches between charger and battery once per second.

          The laptop does exactly the same thing when running Windows or Linux, so OS level problems can be ruled out.

          Flashing CleanME and a different BIOS made no difference.

          Samsung NP370E4K No backlight running on battery
          by Kambi13
          Hi all, need some help. I have a Samsung NP370E4K-KD2BR, which as a 5th Gen Intel CPU that works fine when running with the charger plugged in, but has soon as I remove it and it's running on battery the screen backlight goes off.

          Tried different battery - no change
          Tried different screen - no change

          Removed the plastic film from the screen inverter and looked for pwm signal which as about 3.3v when running with the charger plugged in, when I take it off the voltage drops down to 2.232v, so my best guess is that the EC is not providing the correct voltage....

          Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu
          by Skgod
          Hey I am having Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu. Works fine when I open any game or whatsapp windows application. The issues are :
          Black screen, freeze
          The weird thing is that when as long as the laptop is running on igpu the problem keeps happening. But as soon as I open any game or whatsapp windows application, the laptop works completely fine.
          When the screen freeze or black screen I used to move the display lid up and down and it usually works like that.
          So can anyone tell me what would be the possible cause?...

          820-01949 Running Slow Fast Fan ASD Software Download?
          by Comp_Pro
          Hello all,

          I'm trying to repair this A2251 macbook pro. Board is 820-01949. The original issue was liquid damage which all cleaned up well and the board was not heavily damaged. Unfortunately after liquid damage cleaning the computer is running extremely slow and the fan is running at full speed. Even the cursor is lagging. Because of this I can't use the built in hardware diagnostic to give me a clue as to what is happening. Does anyone know if Apple Service Diagnostic software is available for this model? Any other clues which could help me out? Seems to me there is an issue with...
