MANAGER won't open after 8.1 clean install

I’ve been using the desktop version with no issues for 2 years with 8.1. After a fresh install last week (general house cleaning) A new install of MANAGER won’t open for me :frowning: Same ultrabook, same periferals, same programs and drivers. 6 hours of troubleshooting, removals and re-installs later here I am. 1st screenshot is a current download from here. I finally, downloaded an older version from a software site (risky I know). Got a slightly different result, at least an error tab opened up. The current download just did nothing.
Thanks for any help.
I’m not a techie, also very confused.

I have had a similar issue on my ‘new pc’ with OS 8.1. I’ve downloaded the new version of manager but it fails to open. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times now and tried different OS compatibility modes with no success. If you come up with a solution before I do, please post.

The problem is that Microsoft has modified their Windows API and as a result of it, some programs which are not compatible with those changes are conflicting with Manager.

You need to find and remove that program. It’s usually some outdated firewall or anti-virus program.

See: Manager is not working in the new version of Microsoft Windows 10

What you can do is to run this command:

netsh WinSock Show Catalog > output.txt

and then copy & paste the whole output.txt file here.

I will be able to tell you which program you have is no longer compatible with Windows API. Uninstalling that program will solve your issue.

Ok…thanks, I hope I’ve grabbed what you needed correctly…



Can you actually do it the way I suggested? The output is too long and you can’t scroll all the way up in terminal window. From your screenshots I don’t see anything wrong but I suspect it’s not complete output.

So again, run:

netsh WinSock Show Catalog > output.txt

The output will be saved to output.txt

And I need to see content of output.txt

I’ll try again…

@mototoys, uninstall Ad-Aware from Lavasoft. This will fix Manager issue.

When I press enter on run (netsh WinSock Show Catalog > output.txt) a quick black screen with writing pops up but instantly disappears… I’m not sure how to send you a small 7 second video for you to see.

That’s correct. Output from the command is saved to output.txt rather than printed on the screen.

@Martin_Sanchez, it’s exactly the same issue… Ad-Aware from Lavasoft. Uninstall it and Manager will work again.

I can’t see where ad-aware from Lavasoft in installed. It’s not in the uninstall or change a program.

Same here. I just did a full fresh install, no Ad Aware or any other intentional Lavasoft downloads. One Google search later revealed It’s a .dll virus attached to some other legit download. Reading about others with the same problem I sadly discoved it’s almost impossible to remove from your computer without a full format… not needed if your a top level computer wizard. But for a basic program end user like myself, a future with MANAGER on my ultrabook looks bleak.
PS. I downloaded 2 registry detect / cleaner programs, recommended by reputable forum regulars, that were “100% assured” to work, but no luck. Wish I had better news

We can’t even delete it from the folder as it says that it is running in dashost.exe …

It’s not MANAGER’s fault… it’s absolutely criminal what these companies are allowed to do to our computers. Lavasoft isn’t even an anonymous entity writing malicious hijacking code, it’s an otherwise legit company. Bloody criminal.
Anyway, here’s a Lavasoft rep describing a removal method… far too advanced for my pea brain… http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?/topic/34163-remove-lavasofttcpserviceexe/
I hope it helps someone…

I’ve just tried opening Manager again and actually got a screen to open (white page but with a broken link)… and then went onto other error screens. I’m not sure if it’s something I’ve modified, or the IT guys have been working on it…

Are you still having dramas mototoys?
I clicked on your link, and proceeded with this post:
If you have any problems with Lavasofttcpservice.exe after uninstallation of Web Companion, please follow http://www.lavasofts…uninstallation/and if that doesn’t solve the problem, please start a new topic here: http://www.lavasofts…-web-companion/
The 1st step worked for me!

THIS WORKED FOR ME

If you encounter a problem with LavasoftTcpService after uninstallation of Web Companion, please:

  1. Start Command Prompt as an administrator by right-clicking it and select Run as administrator.

  2. Enter this command to reset the network adapter (end with the Enter key):
    netsh winsock reset

  3. Restart the computer.

  4. Please, delete these two files:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\LavasoftTcpService64.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\LavasoftTcpService.dll

Thanks Martin, I don’t have Web Companion on my pc either. Still working on it. Much appreciated…
