can anyone help me? I can't open the main folders like windows explorer and control panel, etc. i cant run cmd sfc /scannow nor can i open system restore I can't open Control panel. It keeps saying error Explorer.exe There is not enough memory to run this program. Exit one or more programs and try again. then,The audio has an x mark, same with the internet icon has an x mark but I can use the browsers and internet.when I click the x mark in audio it says the audio service is not running,  I think it happened after I edited permissions on registry key for deleting a Bluetooth adapter drivers (which i didn't delete btw) .


the problem persists in safe mode too. unfortunatrely i have no restore point nor a backup of the registry.  anyone from microsoft, please help. please note that the same exact problem was posted by someone here before and they reportedly have found an solution but it seems like the reply in which they have indicated the solution was deleted.this laptop contains all of my and my family's valuable photos and files and i dont want them lost. running windows 7 pro sp1 32 bit. please note that i can actually acess the files through a third party file explorer that i got from the internet but it seems like i have to have access to the control panel to be able to move files to another external hard drive  someone please help me i'm literally on the verge of crying on the floor

    Also, in Device Manager, right-click your audio device and click Update driver. Install any audio device updates, if it finds.

    Well, try your best. I will try to ask someone from Microsoft to help you. Is your system's memory full? Just try to clean and uninstall some programs that you do not want and try again. But my problem wasn't as serious as yours. Pray to God!

    is my problem fixable though?

    it doesn't have to do with audio drivers i'm guessing its mainly a problem of the registry. do you have any advice on what to do please?
