Solve : Can't install Flashplayer? |
|
Answer» I am running XP Pro ( new build), with a new 360 GB HD. I tried to install ADOBE Flashplayer as a Firefox add-on, and when it begins installing, it gives me a message that I don't have enough HD space. My device manager/storage management, says that 95% of the HD is free. What is wrong?What's the full error message and where are you downloading the Flash Player?The message reads that I need to free up more space, and I'm downloading from Adobe's website.Try creating a new Firefox Profile. this actually sounds like a problem i had installing a game on the ps3. it sounds like there is an error with the flash player installer. try adding enough content to take up the same or roughly the same ammount of space that the fully installed player would take up.What? Quote My device manager/storage management, says that 95% of the HD is free.i know it doesn't seem to make sense but it is what i did to solve the problem on my PS3.It does not work when I create a new profile in Firefox. The computer, when i go to disk management > storage devices...reads that 97% of the space on the HD is free. There should be about a thousand times more room than this flashplayer needs. There is an error somewhere in the adobe installer, or in how it is looking at my HD. Like I said, I have downloaded this application 3 times, and erased it everytime, before I tried it again. I just downloaded a video application for Firefox, and it worked perfectly, so its Adobe.Here right? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ When installing, can you make sure it's looking at the right drive (hard disk). Exactly. I can't figure out a way to make sure what drive it is going to, I only have one HD.i know what i have said MAY not make a lot of sense but just hear me out. As i said i had a similar problem installing a game on my PS3. it was DUE to a programing error on the game disk that caused the game to incorrectly read my HDD and think that it was full (it wasn't). To fix it i had to trick the game by adding content that took up roughly the same amount of space that the game would take up. Some how this tricked the game into thinking that i had freed up space, when in fact i had added data. In the END it worked and all i'm saying is that you should give it a try for your problem.Hmmmm....I guess it's worth a shot. |

Answer» I think, M$ Dr. Watson is an insult to Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle's Dr. Watson You both are quite entertaining and I love the geek stories! I still am having no further issues as of now other than my pages load slowly, especially on eBay. I realize this may be DUE to my RAM size, but currently I cannot do anything to change that until I buy something new. |

Solve : batch file to install drivers? |
|
Answer» My job requires me to image and deploy several different generations of Dell laptops and desktops (all lattitude and optiplex). All systems are XP Pro with SP3 installed. I have modified the answer file to work much better than it was but there are still some driver issues that I can't seem to work out. For example, the dell wireless drivers are installed when windows is starting for the first time but the actual application isn't intalled. This is because I followed the instructions from another source so I removed everything EXCEPT for the .inf and .cat files for all the hardware. What I WOULD like to do is GET rid of the sysprep driver installation and use a runonce COMMAND to really install all the drivers, i.e. wireless, AUDIO, video. How can I write a batch file to prompt the user to enter the model and then proceed to execute the install files (.exe)? Here is a copy of the code I have so far: |

Solve : Spyware Removal - System now won't work? |
|
Answer» I'm a total novice with computers. I ran a free spyware detection through my interenet provider and it found around 100 spyware infections. I clicked "okay" to remove the spyware, and now the computer will not come back on. It cycles through the Intel blue screen and the Windows XP black screen over and over. The fans work, the lights come on, and it just keeps cycling through. Did I do something that is irreversible? The computer is my home office work computer with tons of valuable information for work on it. Please advise if there is anything I should try first. For now, I've just walked away from the office in despair. Thanks so much for any advice available.How about letting us know what programs you ran ? ?Laralicia - Welcome to the CH forums. The computer is my home office work computer with tons of valuable information for work on it. Please advise if there is anything I should try first. As a novice you should seek advice before running any scan/utility/removal tool with which you are not already familiar. Is your backup up-to-date? HI there. Thanks for your replies. I ran a Verizon Broadband Anti Spyware program that was offered for free through my homepage (probably my first MISTAKE) As I am a REMOTE office for my company, I do not have access to any discs at this time, and unfortunately, I don't have a back up system in place so nothing is backed up.

Solve : Control panel opens when i try to open a folder? |
|
Answer» I had locked and hidden one of the folders on my computer. I used Folder Access to lock it. Later my computer was formatted and now the folder which is in D drive...windows in C drive appears as control panel. When i open the folder, Control panel OPENS . But when i MOVE the folder i can see the contents moving.. Later my computer was formatted and now the folder which is in D drive...windows in C drive appears as control panel. What do you mean? Was just partition C: formatted and Win re-installed or was the entire disk reformatted? only c drive formatted..windows was reinstalledAre C and D two separate hard drives? Did this START as soon as you reinstalled windows? C and D are different partitions of same harddisk... im nt sure wen d problem started...after reinstalling or before bcoz my comp was at home...n i was nt at home for abt 5 mtnhs..Have you tried system restore? Do you have any virus protection? Folder Access is a program to lock files right? You may be able to REINSTALL that program and get to them if you still have the product key. You might want to contact the Folder Access people and explain what happened. |

Solve : Dual Boot Windows 7 & XP With 2 HDDs? |
|
Answer» I plan to set up a partition on my main "C" HDD using GParted & install Windows 7 beta so I can dual boot Windows 7 & XP. I happen to have a 2nd "D" HDD on my computer. If I instead install Windows 7 on the 2nd "D" HDD, will I be able to then dual boot with XP on "C" and Windows 7 on "D", or is it necessary for all operating systems be on the same HDD in order to be presented with the dual boot option at bootup?With my luck I have found it best to install the Operating systems one at a time. That is only have one hardrive hooked up to the MOBO for each seperate OS. Then once each os is installed HOOK them all up and use the BIOS boot menu to choose what harddrive to boot from. You will still have the option at boot time no matter which drive/partition you decide to use...they do not have to be on the same HDD. agree BUT... depends on how it is installed.... if installed with the wxp disk connected then boot/bootmgr will be written to the wxp disk and you'll get a choice to boot either wxp or W7.... if installed with the wxp disk disconnected, you'll need to select the W7 disk through the BIOS.... if you install on a partition on the wxp disk you'll get a choice as boot/bootmgr will be installed... so it makes a differences...IMO You could use a drive tray for that kind of thing. I have a tray that fits in the 5 inch bay and holds a standard 3.5 HDD. I can pull out the tray and shoe in another HDD. Saves wear and tear on the cables. An alternative is in the BIOS. Some will let you swap which HDD is the boot. As a precaution, avoid an install of the BETA while your regular system is in the machine wit no backup. It is a beta. It may wipe out the current system. Be advised that MS sometime back changed the way the MBR is defined. Further, MS says do not put the BETA on a system you use for anything other that lab testing. But you knew that already! I put this here for the benefit of others. |

Solve : i have a question...!!!? |
|
Answer» I need to ask that what do we mean by the environment variables i the system.......and how do they affect the path definitions in the command prompt....An Environment Variable consists of information which is stored at a named location. To retrieve the information you simply have to call the name. Path=c:\windows;c:\windows\system32;c:\bat When you enter an external command at the Command Prompt the locations in the Path Environment Variable are searched for whatever you entered. So if you wanted to RUN the External Command XCopy the folders in the Path environment variable, C:\WINDOWS, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and C:\BAT, will be searched for a file named XCopy with the extension of .COM, .EXE, .BAT, .CMD, etc.. from the PATHEXT environment variable. This is very handy as it MEANS you do not need to know where the file is LOCATED as long as it is located in ONE of the folders mentioned in the Path environment variable. If you enter XCopy and XCopy is not located in one of the folders mentioned in the Path environment variable the error message "'XCopy' is not recognised as an INTERNAL or external command, operable program or batch file" will be displayed. To see all the global environment variables set in your pc enter SET at the command prompt. Hope this helps. |

Solve : Epic Fail of an over-the-top installation, please help me? |
|
Answer» Ok, well you should never ever rename com files because there files for ms dos to run a comand so that means if you rename com files dos wont work properly, i just want to warn not to rename com extentons unless you know what your doing com files are programs without an EXE header. renaming them just prevents them from running; loss of functionality is limited to thoes commands renamed. which begs the question- What are the specs of the machine? Installed RAM, etc.. where were you told to rename win.com? This doesn't make any sense- I don't see what productive result could come of it. If the OS disk is a OEM install disk (needs a blank drive) then format the drive and boot from the CD.Actually this is the correct method for doing a Repair Install of Win98 and SE... I used it successfully for Years. It also retains all old settings and installed apps.... win.ini however should NOT have been touched for this procedure.Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 26, 2008, 04:13:05 AM where were you told to rename win.com? Oh, you youngsters! Ever hear of Google? This is absolutely standard practice if you want to do an over-the-top install of Win 9x family using a full install disk. Quote This doesn't make any sense It makes plenty of sense. Win.com is one file that is always present in an existing Win 9x installation. The installer on the CD looks for it. If it finds it, an OEM disk tells you that you need an upgrade disk. Quote I don't see what productive result could come of it. The productive result is that the installer doesn't find win.com, and assumes that it is OK to go ahead and copy the system files. Since win.com is gone, it won't complain about being an upgrade and it will still use the existing registry and program files. Quote If the OS disk is a OEM install disk (needs a blank drive) Win 9x OEM install disks don't need a "blank drive"; they merely need a FAT formatted volume without a copy of win.com. An alternative to deleting or renaming win.com is to do this Code: [Select]D:setup.exe /na3 where D:= your CD-ROM drive letter. Quote begs the question It raises the question. I got the contrex treatment! I am finally a real member of CH! In any case- since this this laptop was acquired from a third party, would it not be best to attempt some form of clean install? and secondly: I should know these things, *censored* it. I've dealt with them before.Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 26, 2008, 12:02:04 PM I got the contrex treatment! I am finally a real member of CH! Indeed.

Solve : I'm infected with yt8a.exe, need help!? |
|
Answer» My dad recently got some kind of MALWARE on his computer. The main virus name is a hidden executable named yt8a.exe and it's located in C:\Windows\system32\yt8a.exe. I noticed it in his startup when i ran msconfig. I tried to google it and EVERYTIME i clicked ENTER it closed out firefox. I can't delete this file at all. I've restarted in safemode but it still tells me that another program is using it. I've tried searching through regedit for yt8a but nothing happens when I press search or f3. When I try searching from windows for yt8a it just closes my search query. I tried to install several different anti-virus programs(AVG, Avast, Pandasomething) but it gives me an error, "Something bad happened with the application." Even worse, after I went to folder options to show extensions on known file types, it changed my setting so that I can no longer view hidden files or folders. Everytime I click the option and click apply or OK nothing happens and when I open up the Folder Options window it's reverted back to hide hidden files. I've even tried going through the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\EXPLORER\ADVANCED\HIDDEN(this is off the top of my head) and changed the value manually to 1 but then when I close regedit and open it up again it's changed back. It get's worse, so much worse. Last week after charging my mp3 player on his computer I realized a lot of my music had been corrupted on my mp3 player. This was before I knew he had a virus/malware, and later I was charging it on my new computer(built it about 2 months ago). So while I was trying to fix this yt8a problem, I plugged in my mp3 player on my laptop, it asked me what I wanted to do, run yt8a.exe, open folder to view files, etc... That's when I realized that my mp3 player was infected. I tried plugging in a removable usb drive on my dad's infected computer and it immediately made a copy of the yt8a.exe and also a nifty Auto.inf that I assume tries to make it run automatically. Luckily I was able to delete it off my flash drive. Not so much for my dad's computer. He has his HD partitioned into 2 seperate partitions, C: and D: and now they both have a copy of the yt8a.exe and auto.inf(C:/yt8a.exe). These I can delete but they immediately come back like magic. Even after shift deleting nothing helps. Anyways I told my dad he should reformat because at this point I kind of gave up. When I got back home I was antsy because I knew i had charged and put music on my computer from my mp3 player recently and I was really hoping that I hadn't gotten infected. I lost Now I have the virus and I'm kind of pissed. This computers pretty new and I haven't installed anything suspicious. I keep my computer clean and I'm VERY VERY VERY cautious about what I install(pretty much bare essentials, vlc, firefox, foobar, etc) and I surf the web pretty safely(Noscript destroys most java attacks and such) so I'm pretty pissed that somehow I end up with this. |

I will create another batch file that checks for the log file and I believe there can be a way to do this. If the log file is created with the date variable and the new batch file that i plan to create to check the execution of batch file will also check for the date variable file so that i can know that the log file was created for that particular date or infact no need to do by date but once the CONDITION is met we can add a command to delete the log file.

You may be in luck. The SCHEDULER keeps a log (SchedLgU.Txt) in your Windows directory that contains task NAMES, start and end TIMES, and the result. A simple script should be able to process this file and determine the success/failure of your scheduled task. Good luck. There is no OPTION in advanced to notify in case of task failed. However the log file that u suggest will try to explore that but now i need to get a quick one |

Solve : Erased hard drive noe not reading driver? |
|
Answer» I just finished erasing my hard drive from REFERENCE number CH000186. Now when I try starting the computer it has a message "not READY reading driver E Abort retry fail?". I haven't tried doing any of this type of thing before and I'm at a loss. My son tried installing XP over ME on our old basement computer and I don't know if it is trashed or what. I've tried rebooting with start up disks and MANY other things with no luck. I thought maybe if I erased the hard drive it would work. Am I just wasting my time or is there a solution? Thanks!You have to install operating system on erased hard drive. Right now, the hard drive is empty. |

Solve : Computer running slowly? |
|
Answer» My computer suddenly started running very slowly YESTERDAY, so I decided to restart it, but that didn’t help. It’s been going so slow that EVEN normal sounds like the Windows start up sound are skipping when they play, and my mouse has been jumping all over the PLACE when I try to use it. I’ve since tried restarting the computer multiple times, I’ve scanned my computer for viruses and spyware (with AVG) and it came up clean, and I defragmented it, but still no luck. Also, all my programs have been using their normal amount of SYSTEM memory, but for some REASON their CPU usage has been through the roof. It’s not just one program, any one of them are using up to 100% of the CPU when you try to use them. So what might be going on?1. Please, post some computer info: |

Solve : Several Windows XP components do not work.? |

Answer» I have a Dell Windows XP computer. Somehow I think the computer was infected. Internet Explorer, System restore, Help and Search are not working properly. They open but the screens are blank. I installed Firefox and it WORKS perfectly no problems. I have already ran all spyware, virus, malware softwares, and I have cleaned the computer over and over. When I run the software, it COMES out clean. I am using Webroot. I have used CCleaner, Anti-Spyware, Spybot, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. I am using Zone Alarm Firewall. I have uninstalled I.E. and Adobe. I have reset I.E. and still NOTHING. They are not working. I am sure that the computer is secured, but what could be causing this problem. Thank you. I've been working on this problem now for THREE weeks. I need help. Is there anyway to repairs windows without going back to the original CD, since that CD goes back to 2002.Go to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter... i'd be thankful Windows and all my data were back if i were you...Rightly so....Quote from: Mayla on December 26, 2008, 06:36:06 PM I have uninstalled I.E. I have reset I.E. and still nothing. They are not working.Are you saying you completely removed IE? How? And, how did you "reset" it?I uninstalled I.E. with QuickClean, to reset I.E. : Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, at the bottom Reset. I always backup up my important files, but I haven't installed a backup tool to backup Windows. I just don't think we should settle, oh well, at least you didn't lose your data. It seems Windows corrupts very easily for those who don't understand Windows. It wasn't my computer but a friend's, fortunately I am able to do quite a bit and understand it to a certain extend. Microsoft should offer better utilities to repair Windows. I guess is too much to ask. THANKS for all your help.Quote from: Broni on December 27, 2008, 09:53:38 AM Quotei'd be thankful Windows and all my data were back if i were you...Rightly so....
