Error Script: C:\Netframework.4.5.2.\Audio system.vbs Line: 2 Char: 1 Error: The system cannot find the file specified Code: 80070002 Source: (null)

Question

Can someone please help me how to fix this?

Error Script: C:\Netframework.4.5.2.\Audio system.vbs

Line: 2

Char: 1

Error: The system cannot find the file specified

Code: 80070002

Source: (null)

This always shows after every restart or startup, and the audio does not work when I connect the microphone, and it causes problems when trying to listen to recorded audio. However, if I disconnect the microphone and use the speakers, the recorded audio, streams, videos, etc. can be heard.

Hello Joseph Lara,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. I'm happy to help.

Thanks for sharing your issue here, as I checked, this error mean that the script in that path is requesting a file that doesn't exist. It is specified that the path can be found in line 2 of the script. Before we proceed, may I know when did this start and if there are any changes to your computer before that?

For this issue, the first thing we can do to fix this is to disable the script from running.

• Using Task Manager.
  1. Go to Task Manager > Startup
  2. Find entries mention the .vbs script and escript.exe,
  3. Select it and click Disable.
  4. Restart your PC.
• Using Task Scheduler.
  1. Type "Task Scheduler" in the search bar and press Enter.
  2. Open Task Scheduler Library.
  3. Check and disable (or delete if you don't need it) all task running wscript.exe or the .vbs file.
  4. Restart your PC.
• Edit registry. Disclaimer: Generally, modifying registry subkeys or work group is intended for advanced users, administrators, and IT Professionals. It can help fix some problems, however, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For further protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click How to back up and restore the registry in Windows - Microsoft Support to view the article.
  1. Type "Regedit" in the search bar and press Enter.
  2. Locate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
  3. Check the right pane on both location and delete any entries containing:
     • Audio system.vbs
     • wscript.exe
     • Netframework.4.5.2
  4. Restart your computer.
