PrefetchParameters

********Solved!*********

I have had this problem since first installing Windows 7 x64 for over a year. After reading a kazillion threads, I came across this one.


Shortly after boot, superfetch (sysmain.dll) would try to load and crash, together with about 6-8 other services. Aero would also crash. No BSOD but it was a big pain!!!!


Checked the two registry settings (EnableSuperfetch' & 'EnablePrefetcher) and they were set to 3. I first stopped the Superfetch service (made sure that it was set to automatic), deleted everything from c:\windows\prefetch, changed both registry settings to 1 and rebooted. Problem solved!!!!!


The reason I am posting is because it may help others get rid of this hideous error.


Many thanks Ezio. The liberation of Roma has begun.



HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management\PrefetchParameters

Both 'EnableSuperfetch' & 'EnablePrefetcher' need to be set to a value of 1.
