Tracking down a Windows 7 Appcrash [closed]

An application named wblocks4.exe causes an Appcrash on one Windows 7 laptop (\WER\ReportArchive crash report appended), but works on another Windows 7 laptop. I'm trying to figure out what goes wrong with the first system.

After researching the Appcrash topic I tried a number of things (always as administrator):

  • Running sfc /scannow in command window
  • Disabling DEP for wblocks4.exe
  • Replacing kernelbase.dll (listed as fault module in report below)
  • Creating a new account and reinstalling
  • Reinstalling the program in Safe Mode

Nothing worked. What else can I try?

Solution 1:

This program is ancient, there won't be any fix for it.

If it has gone bad for some reason, you may try to uninstall and reinstall it. That is the most that can be done.
