Windows 10: "The program don't support the project"

Many thanks for this. I apologise for my lack of technical knowledge, but in my case I assume I would not have a Gigabyte overclocking utility? I imagine that would apply to desktop PCs with a discrete graphics card, rather than an onboard laptop card such as I have? Have you been receiving exactly the same message as me? It really is weird wording.

 

You would never guess that something called "ROC_roc_ssl_v12.exe" had anything to do with AVG, would you? What strange names some computer files have. *Confused

 

Just an update on this.

As suggested by GamerwGlasses I have downloaded and run AdwCleaner. All it found was something called vToolbarUpdater18.8.0 which from AdwCleaner’s logfile appears to belong to AVG. I have therefore decided not to remove this particular file.

I then decided to download Security Task Manager. I re-enabled CIR App for Disti in Task Manager and rebooted. Then I ran Security Task Manager. It gave the CIR App a rating of harmless and didn’t find anything else untoward. I have now disabled CIR again to prevent the message appearing at startup.

I think I have probably gone as far as I can with this. Bearing in mind that the laptop I am using is purely for testing Windows 10 to try and decide whether I want to upgrade any of my other (newer) computers and I am not putting anything of importance on it, I don’t think I need worry too much. Baffled by the strange message perhaps, but not worried.

Yes, not a big thing by any means, but it should work properly. Perhaps you'd like to write AVG and report this.

BTW, I was poking around in WU in my 8.1 yesterday and there was a popup warning that came up saying "Are you want to uninstall this?" Not proper grammar by any means. *Think

 

If the app in question is a toolbar? Then by all means delete the hell out of it! It does not mater who makes it, also, both Malwarebytes and Eset now consider all toolbars viruses, regardless of maker. If you had run NOD32, it would have been positive on that app. Malwarebytes would have removed it.

Actually it's a toolbar UPDATER which is worse, it will re-install the toolbar if it has been deleted. Actually this explains the original error message, and it was virus related as I suggested. Glad you ID'd the culprit, get rid of it or it will eventually reinstall the toolbar.

 

I have now used AdwCleaner to remove vToolbarUpdater18.8.0, and have manually removed all instances of cir.exe from the laptop. However, I am seriously considering a clean installation of Windows 10 and to that end have just prepared a DVD using the Media Creation Tool. Over the years I have had Windows XP, Vista, 7, and now 10 on this laptop – to say nothing of various Linux dual boots – and who knows what junk may still be lurking on the hard drive. Perhaps a clean installation will hopefully get rid of any rubbish which may be hanging around.

 

I have spent several hours today performing a clean installation and am pleased to report that I no longer have "The program don't support the project" message!

The culprit was definitely something to do with CIR. I was having a look through the driver CD I used to install the graphics driver after my original in place upgrade and when I clicked on one of the files in the CIR folder a little box appeared saying "Notify ... The program will not support the project!" Quite why that became altered to "don't support" when it appeared on the desktop at startup, or for that matter what it means anyway, I don't know.

Unfortunately the clean installation would not accept the graphics driver from the driver CD which surprised me because the previous in place installation was perfectly happy to do so. However I eventually managed to obtain a driver from catalog.update.microsoft.com and installed that instead, which has given me the correct 1280 x 800 resolution.

Right, now I need to get round to copying back all my personal files, which I stored on OneDrive prior to doing the fresh installation. And then reinstall various programs such as MS Office, etc. After that I can at last concentrate on getting to know Windows 10. *Smile

Many thanks to everyone for their help.

 

Good, yeah when I installed windows 10 fresh on this machine, it gave me a generic eight bit color driver. It was infuriating because I needed to install the network driver so it could search for drivers. That was a real pain. Because the resolution was lower than 400 and I couldn't see anything. Finally I gave up and I just rebooted and it appears that it found the real driver in there somewhere and applied it. But I was worried for a second. It's normal for windows 10 to come up with some generic driver at first just reboot and it should apply the real driver the next time. The only drivers I had trouble with were my brother laser printer and my old HP scanner, both of which I had to use windows XP drivers for under 16 bit mode. Which is "NTVDM" in Programs and features.

Good work and thanks for posting the update!
