O.K. this might not be a new topic but since I can't find an old topic with a working solution I'm re-opening this issue.

I have a computer that won't boot up with windows XP. It won't boot in the safe mode when I choose it off the boot list. It won't boot from the last successfull boot CONFIG and it STARTS to boot from the cd rom and then stops to give me the same message it gives when trying to boot: "Windows was stopped due to a detected error." I get this message over and over. It doesn't tell me that anything is missing. Just the big blue screen. It does tell me to try booting from the cd rom or running a virus scan which I can't do because I can't boot.Isnt it a hardware problem? I don't know if it's a hardware problem or not. Everything appears to be working correctly. My next thought is to purchase a new hard drive it all else fails.Could you post in the message written when your computer turns blue screen.. If its possible...If its a blue screen it may be a confilt H/w to h/w or s/w to s/w....please do a power cycle..unplug everything other then the mouse and keyboard and restart the system ..in last know good configurationsI disconnected all hardware and REBOOTED, I get the blue screen with the same message.

When I turn the computer on I get the Dell logo and then a black screen that tell me that it can't find my floppy drive: choose F1 to continue, I choose F1.

Then the next black screen says, Please select O/S to start
-Win XP media center
-MS SP Prof

or choose F8.

It does not matter what option I choose, when it tries to boot I get the blue screen with the msg.
"Aproblem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to computer. . . Runc CHKDSK/F to check for hard drive corruption and then restart your computer. "

I can't run any thing at this point. I can only re-start the pc.

Since the scanner and all other computer COMPONENTS work, I'm GUESSING the problem is Windows setup or a problem with a Windows update...

Had a hard drive failure when scanner was working properly, so picked up a NEW hard drive and have reinstalled everything properly EXCEPT scanner. I have tried installation disk that came with the scanner as well as 3rd party drivers. I have another computer with binary identical drivers/Documan installed files running WinXP that works with the scanner. Cable and LPT1 port works with printer (hooked up in series and stand alone) and there is power to the scanner.

Scanner is ArtiScan 9600Pro-36 with Tamarack Technologies (Documan) software
Win2KSP4 with all MS updates installed
ECP Printer Port has - use any interrupt assigned to the port (although I have tried other selections)
- legacy PnP detection enabled
- no device conflicts listed

The failure of the scanner is a long delay in obtaining an image. The light detector does not physically move. The image returned is either all white or occasionally gray scale stripes.You say you tried the original drivers...why won't they take ? ?
Any error messages ?
I forgot to take a look at the Event Viewer. During the installs there were Information events in the System Log.

No errors were being displayed during software installation. Various events from the source "Windows File Protection" were being created:

File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\winnt\twunk_32.exe. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the bad file is 1.6.0.1, the version of the system file is 1.7.0.0.

Have your XP CD handy...
Re-boot.

where are my desktop images?

I have recently I discovered that all my desktop images are gone!
All I can do now is to USE a lifeless colour background, ususally BLUE. This makes my desktop LOOKS very depresing.
Any IDEA to what might had happened and how can I recover the images?
the operating system is Windows XP.
thank you in anticipation. How long AGO did it happen? Did you try System Restore?

I recently DOWNLOADED a file split into parts with EXTENSIONS : *.r00, *.R01, *.r02 , etc.

How would I go about combining these files into one ?WinRar...heh i thought it might be a zipping program, thanks !!

... though I've never combined files ... is there a wizard that comes with winRar ?Just OPEN the first file (*.r00) with all the other ONES in the same folder and you can extract them.

hey anyone please solve my problem: Whenever i open any folder with
video files, my explorer restarts. i saw some video files have nero
player symbol but in properties it show opens with windows media
player.
OS: windows XP SP2
CompaqV6316
intel dualcore
512MB ram




in the event viewer it shows "the shell STOPPED unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted". Below is from log file of Dr. Watson32.

Is it possible your display resolution is set incorrectly; e.g. "768 wide x 1024 high" instead of "1024 wide x 768 high"?

Running Dimension E3100 w/ XP professional

Yesterday a pop-up came up stating explorer had to shut down to prevent any damage,etc.etc. I re-booted and did virus scans, w/ both AVG and Norton. I found two;

AngryIPScanner A0055063.exe
AngryIPScanner ipscan.exe

I quarantined the viruses and deleted them. Problem solved? Nope.

Explorer continues to shut down after about 5 minutes, but always let's firefox keep running, which is strange, but good, so I can still get help from you guys! 90% of the time after re-boot, I am unable to use any of the menus past the initial screen...meaning, I can click start and all the options come up, but I am unable to get the next menu to show. The ONLY thing I can think of is that I use Sandboxie when I'm searching for things that McAfee site advisor shows as questionable. I always delete the contents immediately after I'm done, and have only used downloads via a box on a few occasions, but I haven't done that in several months.

Several TIMES, but not all, when I re-boot a screen comes up stating a problem with the "LXS" and how it is missing, and wondering if I want to pick a program or if I want windows to search online. I always choose windows, but the search comes up with nothing.

I am willing, but do not want, to completely re-install xp, but I'd like to try to avoid it if I can. In a moment of frustration, I attempted to re-install via Dell's reinstall CD, but I kept getting a screen not allowing me to do it, saying I was trying to install a later version than I currently had on my COMPUTER, which didn't make sense to me. In any case, PLEASE HELP!!!

Thank you so much,

ChadStart by going through the steps here. It is very likely there's still PARTS of the infection left.

I have win xp, AMD Athalon 1800, 1Gb mem, all of a sudden when I exit the internet or any program I USE, ms word, ETC, all the icons on the desktop will disappear until I reboot. Now, I do know that i NEED a new BATTERY for the board, it is losing time, could that be it?

thanks

Hi all,

Please give me some guidance?

My problem is similar to 'josthor', only that beyond his fun bar, the computer shows initially a blank screen, the hard drive kicks in, the screen lights up with nothing on it for approximately 2 mins and then reboots. This will happen all the time.

I have tried to access all of the other operations i.e.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command prompt and so fourth.

I have even tried to use 'directory services restore mode'. My C:/ Drive is clean and working fine.

When this whole thing happened I was in Windows explorer when I noticed my Internet ICONS were both lit up. I checked my firewall to see what activity was taking place and what program was communicating with the internet. My computer froze at that stage. This is the first time this has happened. I was forced to restart, and the rest is history.

Note: From Previous other experience, this could be a registry problem. I'm not certain if this is the case, HOWEVER any assistance to allow me to get up to the log in would be appreciated.

Is there a by pass boot up that I can use. I do not want to reinstall. Could I use the repair facility (if any) on the xp installation disk?

From command prompt how would I repair the registry if that was a problem?

i'm not understanding you. Is the screen completely blank the whole time it's on? or does it turn blank when it starts loading windows? were you able to see the boot menu for the safe mode options? if it's always blank, i'm going to guess it's some kind of hardware problem. but if it shows text after you turn it on, it's PROBABLY a software problem.ok so i just fixed mine i dont know if this helps you or anything but i used the system restore to restore it to the day before it started, and it worked it BOOTS normal again. hopefully it will STAY like thatdude your OS is most likely screwed. best option will be to install fresh XP on a clean or formatted hard drive. you can try the repair option or upgrade the OS but if those dont work your only option will be to reinstall xp. if it wont do that then youve got a corrupted hard drive.

No offense intended DMan but this machine was due for a WIPE and clean install about 3 months ago...
You may want to bite the bullet and GET it over with...Actually, with the PROBLEMS I'm going through now (not just Windows XP) it's best to just get a new computer.I fixed the problem. I downloaded ShellExView and disabled a non-Microsoft context MENU handler.

Hi there,

My computer recently CRASHED on me and the only way i could get it back was to reformat the hard drive. After formating the hard drive the computer screen resoloution would not get any BIGGER than something like 800x600. I followed what the help tab suggested and now when the computer LOADS and gets to the log on screen the monitor goes blank and i can do nothing. I can type in my password and the computer seems to load like it always does but nothing shows up except a black screen. I have microsoft xp service pack 1a. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.hello

firstly you really need to tell us about your machine

ok that out of the way you could TRY turning on your computer whist pressing f8 this should give you a menu that will let you load in safe mode.

go into start
control panel
system
select hardware tab
then select device manager
look at displays and see if your video card/driver is mentioned take a note of it anyway

now go to start
programs
accesories
system tools
system restore and select a restore point to just before the problem happened

go through the process and even though the screen size isnt to your liking get on to the internet and do a search for your video card drivers

hopefully this could help

bartrob
After a FORMAT your drivers are wiped out...you will need to re-install all your drivers including Video, MBoard and sound and network controllers.
Did this machine ship with a driver CD originally ? ?
If so use those.Well the computer i have is an older dell 2400 series. if that helps you out. but the problem i am having after installing all of the drivers on cd that came with the computer. when the computer starts up and you see the microsoft symbol and the little bar, after it gets past that, the screen goes completely blank. i am at a loss and don't know what to do. i cant do nothing because i can't see what i am doing. i have tried logging on in safe mode and almost everyother mode i can i have even tried using the load last known successful what ever option. i hope that gives you a little more detail on whats going on. any help again would be greatful.Are you saying you cannot get into safemode ? ?that is correct i can not log on to my computer even in safemode

hi

Are you trying to do an upgrade from another version of Windows?

If so, TAKE a look at this recommendation from Microsoft:

Quote

1. If you are upgrading Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition, follow the troubleshooting steps that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
310064 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310064/) HOW TO: Troubleshoot Windows XP Problems During Installation When You Upgrade from Windows 98 or Windows Me
Test to determine if the ISSUE is resolved. If the issue is resolved, do not complete the remaining steps. If the issue is not resolved, go to the next step.

2. Perform a clean installation of Windows XP:

a. INSERT the Windows XP CD-ROM into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
b. If Windows automatically detects the CD-ROM, click Install Windows to start the Windows XP Setup Wizard. If Windows does not automatically detect the CD-ROM, click Start, click Run, TYPE CD-ROM drive letter:\setup.exe, and then click OK.

...and does it stay there?

I have a hp 7850 desktop with a V.90 56KBPS modem, Intel Pentium 3 933MHz processor, 256MB Ram,80GB hard drive, and a CD-Rw Primary Drive. When trying to make a connection to AOL I get the message "The modem was unable to complete the call".(error:77-QSDG).I also get the screen"Connect Option" that will give the access phone numbers, locations, dialing options, call waiting, LINE type and modem info. All of it says N/A.I called the geek squad and they want an initial $159.00 to set up my modem. I entered AOL'S access NUMBER and all necessary information, but the computer does not recognize the modem. As you can see, I know almost NOTHING about computers, any help would be appreciated. Thank You. P.S. I conducted a modem test, the modem does work. The Os is Windows XP Pro.do you hear a dial tone when trying to connect? Also, what is your operating system? is it windows? if so, what version?Yes I hear a dial tone, I also hear it dialing. I have windows XP Pro.Why don't you call your ISP?

Can someone please tell me how to change a publication in Microsoft PUBLISHER from HTML to PDF. I have microsoft XP program. I also have adobe 8.2. how can I combine?
ConnieL!I'm not sure Microsoft Publisher can do this. You may need another program to convert from HTML to PDF. You could try searching for "html to pdf" at www.download.com. I found a free one there ( http://www.download.com/Free-HTML-to-PDF-Converter/3000-2070_4-10792047.html?tag=lst-1 ).

-Aaron
www.weknowerrors.com A free Wiki for COMPUTER problems.You can do this by installing a PDF generator. One such tool is PrimoPDF, and it's free. One installed, it will appear in your system as a printer. To "print" an HTML file, Word file, Excel file, or any other application, to a PDF document, choose PrimoPDF as the "printer". primo pdf is EXCELLENT program. it "printed" all the files i wanted into pdf with no problem and quality is good too.

Right clicking on Start does not give me, "PROGRAMS." However, right clicking on the remaining EUDORA desktop icon, (which has now changed to a blank white TV screen with a blue strip on top...no longer the Eudora icon), I can then click on properties. Properties gives me: "Target... D:\Eudora.exe"D:\" (hey, there's exe!?) then, "Start in D:|," then, "run, normal windows."

Is this closer?

Where do I find if I have enabled hidden files?

DennisTo enable hidden files, in Windows Explorer, go Tools>Folder Options>View tab, checkmark "Show hidden files and folders".

Have you tried using one RAM stick in each slot? You could possibly have a bad slot.Clean off each RAM stick with rubbing alcohol and give them plenty of drying time.
Use a can of compressed AIR to blow out the RAM slots.
Re-assemble and let us know...Any results?you didn MENTION how many ram slots present on your mother board if there are four generally 2 blue and 2 yellow (but not always) this signifies dual channel ram and you must use only 1 channel first befor the other will work
so ensure you put the ram in slots of the same colour or if there not coloured put them in either slots 1 & 3 or 2 & 4


hope this helps

hello everyone

i have win xp pro

i have two icons which keep appearing in my system tray and keep warning me about viruses every few seconds

i cannot get rid of them

tried msconfig and regedit, but no luck

ran a complete scan with mcafee and adaware, but no luck

they pop up the very moment that you reboot

please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how can i edit the systray and remove them or are they coming from another place and only showing themselves as icons in the systray

thanks very much

m


Try determing what the program is by moving your mouse pointer over the icon in the system tray.

Locate it in Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it...if it's of no use to you.yep......tried that

nothing appears when i run my mouse over them

when i double click them it opens up a window for virusheat.com and antispykit

i searched for both of these on my c: and did regedit to delete them but they were nowhere to be found

I have the requirement to print 20 copies (PDF or PUB files) of the same 8 pages on at least a weekly basis. Rather than go throuth the PRINT process 8 times (once for each document) is there a way to construct a batch FILE than when EXECUTED will cycle thru the process? Anyone know of any software out there that could help with this?Are you using Windows XP?

You can drag and drop the files onto the printer to make things a little easier. You won't have to OPEN the files and you can do MULTIPLE files as once.

NEED MORE RAM!!

Hey guys, long...long time.

My dad got his laptop reformatted because of some problem or something and now whenever his computer boots, he gets an option of 2 operating systems, both Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition.
Both of them do the same thing.

I checked his boot settings by right clicking My computer and going to the advance tab and this is what I got:

Code: [SELECT][boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

I was wondering if I could just delete
Code: [Select]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetectso the OS choices menu doesn't keep coming up.Yes you can, DELETING the SECOND line will remove the non default boot choice. You should notice though that the two choices are referencing two different partitions (partition(1)/partition(2)).
Are you sure he doesn't have two XP installations here?
Sure looks that way. Who did the format & reinstall?

I have bought a new computer which came with Vista. My daughter's computer has Windows Me as its operating SYSTEM. Can I replace her Windows Me O/S with my now surplus XP (OEM) and if so, how do I do it?Is it a REAL XP install disc (with Microsoft holograms on it) or a OEM restore disc?
It is a real XP installation disc.Then yes, I believe it is possible to install it on your other computer.
Before you do so you should collect XP drivers for the hardware in the computer though.
By the way, how fast is the processor and how much RAM do the computer have installed? The system requirements for XP are higher than ME so XP might END up FEELING sluggish if the specs are too LOW.

Hello,

My system is Windows XP pro.
When I click on the TAB "programs" in the start menu, the program LIST is not entirely displayed: rather, an arrow appears at the bottom of the list, and the whole program list appears only if I click on that arrow. My question is: how can I make windows display the whole program list immediately after I have clicked on the tab "programs" ?

Thx.I'm not sure, if this is what you want, but if you'd PREFER multiple columns, instead of scrolling:
* SELECT Settings in your Start Menu, and then select Taskbar & Start Menu.
* Choose the Start Menu tab, choose Classic Start Menu, and click Customize.
* Turn off the Scroll the Programs menu option, and click Ok when you're done. This is not what I wanted, but this help me to get it (in FACT, it was sufficient to disable "use personalized menu".
Thank you very much.

Hello dear All!

How can I disable the windows security alert Icon through or using windows Registry Editor or using Group Policy (Gpedit.msc)?

Please look at this picture:



I can disable this icon using windows Security Center but i want to know how can I disable it using windows Registry Editor or using Group Policy (Gpedit.msc)?

Please help me because I really need this method of disabling.

Regards
Farahmand!Are you familiar with services?
If you do not use Security Center, you MIGHT consider removing its service. Its simply titled "security center" . You can press the WindowsKey+R and then type:

MSCONFIG

and go to the Services tag, and uncheck"Security Center". If you are not familiar with the computer, write these down in case something goes absolutely terribly wrong and you have to get it back using Safe Mode. It is the exact reverse, you just click the checkbox again.

Now, much as I may dislike pirating, if you did anything to modify the Windows Logon file or disable WGA, whether with good legal reasoning or not, I dont recommend you do this. (Not saying you did, but a lot of people who have had problems "activating" Windows either because they installed it on their new computer, or whatever, have gone the route of bypassing it..)


Note:
Security center happens to be an extremely good program when you need to be yelled at since you are browsing the net without antivirus, or firewall. The only EXCUSE to not have firewall is if your insane. Windows Firewall works great, no matter what many others say. Its built in, for one, meaning directly intergraded, and its FREQUENTLY updated, unlike Sygate and other older but nice firewalls. Even over dialup, basic firewall should be used. As for Antivirus, viruses come in SMALL packages, and get on by only visiting a website now-a-days.

As for Windows Updates:
Though they may SEEM evil, they are important. They fix many bugs and random issues that will/can occur with your system. If you want to keep things running at their best, be sure to install your updates.

Security center is not memory intensive. Its not going to free many resources by doing something as you are attempting.

Wow! I could write that into an Frequently Asked Question article. Hi dear friend!

Thanks for your Explanations.

one of my friends asked this question (How Can we Disable the windows Security Alert Icon using windows Registry?) from me.I am not a hacker and I never use my skills in bad ways.

thanks again my friend.

Have found a lot of posts where WMP11 cannot FIND burners. I finally solved problem by dowloading "BURNAWARE" FREE edition. It can take mp3, wav and wma files and burn to a cd that can be played on any player. Interesting that my wife has no problem on her pc, although it is not a media center pc.

I have Windows XP Pro (SP2) and SuSe 9.3 Pro installed on my computer. The bootloader I'm USING is GRUB. When I TRY to START SuSe nowadays it won't start up correctly and I barely have use for it right now, so I was thinking of formatting the Linux partition on my comp with Partition Magic in Windows. The thing is that if I do that I will lose the boot "section" for XP. How do I recover that afterwards so that I can use XP?
Use your XP install DISC and enter the recovery console.
type fixmbr and hit enter.
This will REINSTALL the XP bootloader, overwriting GRUB.
If your primary partition is FAT formatted you will need to use the fixboot command before fixmbr.

(2000 pro) My web pages are too wide. I must scroll right to read them. My main problem is that the printer only prints the left approx. 80% no matter where the left right scroll is located. Is there some way to fix this?What browser, including version, are you using?For printing, try LANDSCAPE, instead of portrait.right click on DESKTOP and click properties the on the screen that comes up click advanced then set the screen resolution higher and click apply if present. SEE if this solves your screen size problem.Thanks for the replies
The browser is internet explorer. Version 6.0.2800.1106.
Going to landscape does not help.
Could not change resolution per your instructions. When I clicked on settings I got a window that had (archive and index) and (compress or encrypt).
However my son told me how to do it. Right click on the screen background, click properties, click settings and change resolution. This made the left right scroll BAR GO away on the web page but no one told the printer. It still only prints the left 80% on both portrait and landscape.Try Firefox.In IE, go to File, Page Setup, and reduce the right and left margin. That will probably solve the problem.

I'm attempting to do a fresh install of XP. When I attempted to boot from the CD I have my keyboard and MOUSE STOP working when it asks my to PRESS any key to boot from the CD. how do i FIX this? both keyboard and mouse are usbBorrow PS/2 keyboard, or buy (few bucks) USB to PS/2 ADAPTER.

If your windows 98 is an OEM, they should have the sticker of your product key on your computer...But if it isn't, its LIKE what BRONI said...

For storage I have three carrosels, a LEXMARK printer, the sound board is a Creative Audigy 24 bit & the graphics card is Radeon 9600.What browser?Actually Clik Here Also...

When playing a song in Midisoft's Desktop Sheet Music app in Windows XP the screen freezes and the measure counter freezes after about 50 measures but the audio continues. Midisoft's suggestion of no help. The app states it is XP compatible. BTW, this is a Win98/WinXP dual boot PC and it runs fine in Win98. Also there seems to be nothing to changes in this app's preferences. This is the only app with an ISSUE on this PC. Hope someone has a good suggestion. Thanks
BTW, this is a great forum. You guys helped me solve a recent issue when I added additional memory to this same PC. Seems I needed to change the MaxPage line in the Win98 system.ini. Thanks Do you USE any peripherals with midisoft's sheet music app?

(Microphone or some other type of external audio input, etc).

If you do use peripherals it could be an incorrectly installed driver or non-winxp driver.Thanks for the reply. The only peripheral is the same Midi keyboard I use when I am running in Win98. What is so strange to me is the software co. sez this app is compatible with Win 9x, ME, XP. I've never been able to find anyone else running this app in WinXP. There must be someone that runs it successfully.It looks like a fairly older application...although they may say it "runs" in XP it may just not be optimised to do so...
Have you tried any other applications for this task ? ?Quote from: J GUY on February 04, 2008, 12:56:31 PM

I still think this is the root of the problem.

I'm new to these forums, So I'm gonna start by saying hello and sorry If this kind of topic was posted elsewhere on this site, I did search around for a few minutes but found nothing that could apply to my situation.
I was given a computer for Xmas, and it crashed. I lost alot of programs,such as Nero and powerdvd, But i reinstalled WINDOWS from my XP pro SP1a disk. I am still in the process of trying to rebuild the system, but some programs such as iTunes says I need SP2. no problem, I downloaded SP3, but as soon as I install it the computer loads Bios and wont load windows, just keeps restarting. last known config, normal, SAFE mode, none of them have any effect. in order to GET windows back, I am forced to do a repair install and SUDDENLY stuck with SP1a again. I know this computer doesn't have any virus' because before I put it on line I DL'd AVG, firefox and installed Nvidia firewall from my USB HDD.

My system specs-
Asus A8n32 sli mobo
535W psu
2 gig G-skill ram pc3200
Hitachi deskstar IDE 170G as C drive
2 western digi 250 caviar sata's, 16mb buffer
western digi 250 external usb HDD
2 Asus nvidia 7800gtx in sli
toshiba dvd-rw+ lightscribe on IDE
proview 22" LCD
Don't install Service Pack 3.
Run Windows Update, download all of the AVAILABLE updates, that should get you Service Pack 2. Run windows update again to get the updates to that. Service Pack 3 is not officially released yet.

I've been installing a fresh version of WIN XP Pro and all programs. When I play a video in Windows Media Player 11, there's a purple tinge over the whole screen. The video seems fine otherwise. WMP default codec is "Windows Media 9". How do I change the video codec for WMP?

I use SageTV to record TV shows. Within SageTV, you can choose which video codec to use. I'm thinking if I change the default Windows video codec, this will FIX the problem.

Under Device Manager, Sound & Video Game CONTROLLERS, there's a listing for Video Codecs. Is there a way to change/reinstall?

I've installed/uninstalled NVIDIA video codecs before, but not the Windows default codec.Download: http://www.free-codecs.com/XP_Codec_Pack_download.htm, and see, if it helps...I was finally able to figure out the default video codec. There are several methods listed at http://forums.sage.tv/forums/showthread.php?s=febb276dbb79cb97cce5f291cc9e5092&p=161090#post161090

As far as my problem, I reinstalled WMP 11 and it fixed the purple tinge.Thanks for posting back

Hello,

I am trying to purge a cookie from my windows SYSTEM and it has a very long file name. When trying to rename or delete it, I get an error MESSAGE of File Name Too Long. It seems as though the creator of this cookie intentively CREATED it to be able to be saved to a system, but a pain to remove.

Anyone know of any way to destroy this long file name pest without reformatting the hard drive? Cookie washers etc also cant get it to BUDGE!!! If I can get this file name smaller, i am THINKING that I can delete it, and I am an admin of this system, so its not a permissions issue causing this.

Thanks,

DaveTry Unlocker: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/Try using adaware should remove all the cookies and other nasty programs.Thanks the Unlocker did the trick!!!
