Solve : need security program that doesn't take up too much space? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello to all. <br/>I just joined. I am a senior lady, and self taught [such as it is], on the computer. I would call myself familiar with computer, but certainly needing to know more. <br/>I do almost everything on my museum piece computer [runs windows xp prof], while my new one with windows 7 sits <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/idle-1036473" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IDLE">IDLE</a>. I totally prefer my old guy. <br/>This morning when I went to run my defrag program it informed me that I only have 10% of real space left. Had no idea. In past years I ran Malware bytes antimalware, but when they updated it it wouldn't load properly on my machine and I tried everything. Tried over and over to work with their terribly bad customer service, which is by email only, to no avail. Downloaded Avast and have been happy and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/virus-727836" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VIRUS">VIRUS</a> free with it for a good while. However have been concerned with the large amount of updates it puts on my computer daily, as I watch my space getting smaller and smaller. Will have to do something for sure. Can anyone suggest a good anti-virus/spyware program that is low on bytes, I guess you'd say?<br/>Thanks<br/>SofiaAvast will only protect Windows XP for one year which is coming up quite soon. I would suggest Comodo.<br/><a href="http://www.majorgeeks.com/Comodo_AntiVirus_d5109.html"><strong>Comodo Antivirus</strong></a> (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)<br/>It will install <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/two-241629" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TWO">TWO</a> other security programs which I uninstalled and kept Comodo.

I assume this just occurred....is that right.<br/><br/>let us know<br/>dl65 Yes clicking on the icons works normaly, I get the send to menu etc...<br/><br/>As far as updates i've done a few in the last week including a directX upgrade from DX9.0a to DX9.0b. but the most recent was today when I installed the drivers for my keyboard to make the upper programable buttons work. as for when the problem started I'm not quite sure, it's been i'd say at least a week since I tried to create a new folder.<br/><br/>but seeing i can't create a new folder in windows explorer either and do not even have the option to add a folder creating button in the customize section, i'd say it a windows problem? i was hoping it was just a setting i accidently turned off somewhere.<br/><br/>as for windows settings the only one I have adjusted this week was removing accessability options.Now that I think about it most of those options would'nt show up by right clicking on just the dektop anyway lol but I am definatly missing the "new" optionrun this first><a href="http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/">http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/</a> and general winge from me ...i just wish people would not update their pcs with updates....pcs seems to run better without them? end of winge...if it aint broke then leave it?Just ran housecall 3 days ago <br/><br/>as for m$ updates i'm with you there lol but i had to upgrade DX for Everquest (an online game I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/play-251439" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PLAY">PLAY</a>) which is more of a benchmarking progam then a game sometimes lolvaxure.....I have been trying to recreate your issue here ....with no luck....How about uninstalling the keyboard updates you made today ( temporarily ) and see if you can right click on the desktop and see the new folder option.<br/>The other <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/thing-25656" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THING">THING</a> ...you say you cant create a new folder in Internet explorer....( I cant do that either ...unless I save it to say desktop and then click on the icon and I have the option of making a new folder.....Can you not click on my computer .....pick say C drive ...click on it and when the exporer window opens to display the conents<br/>right click in any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/clear-408920" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CLEAR">CLEAR</a> space and see the option to make a new folder ?<br/><br/>let us know<br/>dl65 <br/><a href="https://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;180257">http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;180257</a>Ahh good find <br/><br/>Let me give that run <br/><br/>Get back with you <br/><br/>Vaxwell actualy that isn't in my registry<br/><br/>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\New\ (Default)<br/><br/>i don't have directories past ContextMenuHandlers that match that. <br/><br/> but from what I see in there it looks Nvidia related. <br/><br/>That is something else i've had issues with this week trying to get my game to work. I was refering to older driver versions that didn't help so went back to the latest drivers. all done through safe mode of course but i'll try dropping back a version and see what happens.<br/><br/>Also in answer to your question dl65 no i can't get a new folder from an empty area off the C drive like your asking but i will go ahead and uninstall the keyboard drivers as well <br/><br/>ok added the new registry entry but it didn't help, also removed the keyboard drivers but it didn't work. Then I rebooted in safemode and I still don't get the "new" menu there either?<br/><br/>Is there a Hotkey for creating a new folder? maybe i can try and see if that worksvaxure.....I just came across this .....it seems to be related.....<br/>I've seen the same thing in ME - in fact, it just happened again. From my recollection, it's from a corrupt registry key... <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/probably-1167177" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROBABLY">PROBABLY</a> from an improperly installed video card.<br/><br/><br/>You can either do it manually using regedit, or use a patch - one can be found at: <br/><br/><a href="http://aumha.org/downloads/new.zip">http://aumha.org/downloads/new.zip</a> <br/><br/>Procedure: <br/><br/>1) Go to the start menu, run 'regedit' (minus quote marks), then go to 'file', 'export', and find a place to put the backup.

Solve : HP Printer disaster? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I'm Running XP on a Toshiba Qosmio G20-139 laptop. System was stable. Installed a HP C4480 3-in-1 <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/printer-771184" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRINTER">PRINTER</a> using original HP Installation disc for XP. The Install seemed to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/run-1192138" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RUN">RUN</a> OK with no error messages. After the required Reboot I noticed the computer was running unbelievably slow. Looking at Task Manager I saw the CPU at 100% useage and 85 (yes 85) running processes. A test on a similar Toshiba/XP laptop (without HP) showed a CPU usage of 5 to 20% and about 20 running processes. What on earth has happened? Although not technically crashed, the Toshiba is running so slow I doubt if I will be able to move any files to a safe harbour, such a USB Memory Stick. Can anybody suggest a way forward?

Solve : Some .EXE files "cannot be found"? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>So this is new to me... I've had a lot of problems with XP over the years, but here is something that I've never encountered.<br/><br/>Due to Avast moving a number of system files (from the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/system32-344202" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SYSTEM32">SYSTEM32</a> folder which cause a log in/out loop among other problems) I had to do a system repair using the XP install boot disk. After completing this I was able to get users going again. After a brief period of happiness, the User discovered that a commonly used program wasn't working. When I checked this out I found that the .BAT launcher was getting a "cannot find file '....exe'" error. I looked into this more and recently discovered that NONE of the .EXE files located in this particular directory can be used. Every one of them returns a "cannot find file" error even when double clicking. This is NOT the case in any other folder so far. The other files (.BAT and a number of custom extensions) work fine, but the .EXEs don't... :/<br/><br/>I've tried looking all over the registry and have not been able to find any problems. I ran "sfc /scannow" just to make sure that the system was still stable, and it checked out fine...<br/><br/>Another thing that I noticed, one of the programs' directories "dlc" is supposed to be located on C:\ root... (which it is) in doing a file search I discovered that there is ALSO a copy in the system32 folder!? This doesn't belong here at all, and it's not just a shared file name - it has(d) all the same files too...<br/><br/>If anyone can <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/think-661001" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THINK">THINK</a> of anything that might be helpful I'd really appreciate it. I'm at a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/loss-236926" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOSS">LOSS</a> of ideas, so anything is appreciated! <br/><br/>Thanks in advance!<br/><br/>kyle_engineerNot sure how that could happen.<br/>In Windows XP the norm is to put program EXE files in the Programs directory. Additional files would be place in some place like Winndowsd32.<br/>When you say BAT do you mean the LNK file? That is the shortcut that resides in some place e start menu directory.<br/> Quote</p><blockquote>LNK<br/>LNK is a file extension for a shortcut file used by Microsoft Windows to point to an executable file. LNK stands for LiNK. Shortcut files are used as a direct link to an executable file, instead of having to navigate to the executable...</blockquote> I have never heard of a AV program changing LNK files of legit programs.<br/>The below reference is for Windows 7. It might apply to XP. Read down and find a reference to WINXP.<br/><a href="https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/shortcuts-lnk-default-is-changed/55bdb6b9-4ba4-46a7-8044-4c29852a3b86">http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/shortcuts-lnk-default-is-changed/55bdb6b9-4ba4-46a7-8044-4c29852a3b86</a><br/>Does that help any?<br/>Hey Geek, sorry for the delayed response (crazy Holiday times).<br/><br/>So the ".BAT" that I'm referring to is a batch launcher that I wrote personally. The ".EXE"s that it has targeting errors with are all part of an old DOS program. Normally when one would double-click or otherwise launch one of these .EXEs it would flash a command window very briefly (I suppose that the EXEs want to have parameters passed which don't get passed when launched manually), however none of them would function right. When double-clicked, targeted from the RUN dialog or launched from the command-line, any of the EXEs in this 1 directory would report "cannot find file" as an error dialog. I checked all the file associations and they were correct, and no other errors with other software was found... Anyway, this isn't so much of a problem now because I just started using a different computer, but it is quite a curious problem...<br/><br/>So if anyone has any ideas what could have caused this, please feel free to speak.<br/><br/>P.S.<br/> There are also other files types ".BAT and .COM mostly" in this directory and they responded properly to calls... just NONE of the executables would respond... Can you verify the ACL on that folder still has the proper permissions? I tried to reproduce it by fudging with a folder's security settings and denying access in specific ways, but the only issue I got launching a 16-bit program via a batch file was "Access Denied". So I'm uncertain if this can cause it- it only <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/affecting-1969559" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about AFFECTING">AFFECTING</a> the one folder could be a result if ACLs though. It's possible the ACLs on the individual files are corrupted too, I suppose.<br/><br/>If the error appears in the command window, It may also be the case that the program has other files it needs that would go in the same folder, but the working directory of the file was unset or lost during the repair <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/process-11618" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROCESS">PROCESS</a>, which might cause the program to launch, but look for said file in the desktop folder (or whatever the batch file is) not find what it wants and tersely say it couldn't find the file.<br/>I'll check that when I get a chance. I found a work-around solution (putting the person on another workstation) so it's a lower priority problem now. LOL! I'll post an update when I have checked it tho. Thanks BC.</body></html> | |

Perhaps you can add it from there.<br/><br/>I use Windows XP Home and Charmap does work here. You may have to install it first.OK I installed it from my Windows XP CD and can use it now. <br/><br/>But I'm having trouble getting the character to show using the NUMPAD. <br/><br/>The code to type is Alt+0027 right? Each time I hold alt and press the number then release Alt, it is supposed to show the character correct? I have set the character and copied it. But I cant get it working. My numlock is ON, I type the code while holding Alt, and the cursor moves across as if I was using the space key.<br/><br/>I tried typing in other codes and it works fine........ but not with U+0027.......... even U+0028 works <br/><br/>*censored*... I thought it would be easier than this I'm determined to get it working, but I always miss the small <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/things-25910" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about THINGS">THINGS</a>.

If had paid attention to my post above, you would have seen tha alt+039 is what you need. If you insist on doing things the hard way, thats OK too.</body></html> | |

Solve : Visual 05 install issue? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello, <br/> I have a window xp with the visual studio 05 installer but when I run it, the install goes fine until it get half way and stops and an error pops up. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/saying-629505" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SAYING">SAYING</a> that I need a dll could not run. I have downlaod this same program with the same installer on a different computer, same version of windows. But these windows xp have the sp 1. I wander if that is the problem?<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/>Shiverbob <br/><br/>System specs<br/>Operating system: window xp with sp 1<br/>Processor: AMD 3200+ Athlon<br/>Processor speed: 2.2GHz<br/> You are trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on XP SP-1.<br/>Is that right?<br/>Why not use Windows XP SP-3? Do you need the SP-1?<br/>This is the general reference of the 2005 version.<br/><a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950416.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950416.aspx</a><br/> Quote</p><blockquote>Microsoft Visual Studio is a complete set of development tools for building ASP.NET Web applications, XML Web services, desktop applications, and mobile applications. Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C#, and Visual J# all use the same integrated development environment (<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ide-496683" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IDE">IDE</a>), which <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/allows-857958" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALLOWS">ALLOWS</a> them to share tools and facilitates in the creation of mixed-language solutions.<br/></blockquote> From this above one can see there is potential of difficulty in installing Visual 2005 on some older systems. Or Vice Versa. The J# language has some issues that can not be resolved. Specifically, Microsoft can not support it.<br/>I wold suggest you only install the components you need and do not include the J# package.<br/><br/>Here is another idea that can work for you. Shrink the hard drive with a suitabler tool and create a new <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/partition-238933" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PARTITION">PARTITION</a>. If the drive is near full., you u may have to off load some stuff you not longer user, like old movies you downloaded.<br/>Then do a clean install of Windows XP on the new partition. Do not update it. Then install Visual Studio 2005. It should work.<br/>Some programs require the .NET framework. This can cause a conflict with installation of Visual Studio 2005 in some cases. So don't in stall those programs.<br/>This computer is not connected to the Internet and probably never will, I have a laptop right next to it where I post and download and transfer thing via flash drive. So therefor I can't get so 2 or 3.<br/><br/>I did some messing around and found a visual c++ 05, so j# is not the problem. It did the same error message. Could I possibly update the windows installer I have? <br/><br/>The shrinking the hard drive idea, I have no Idea how to do it. And I don't think it I can do it with out Internet. Thanks.Where are you getting these installers?2005 requires XP SP2<br/><br/> Quote<blockquote>System Requirements<br/>Supported Operating System<br/><br/>Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Service Pack 2 </blockquote> <br/>As seen here: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387">http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3387</a><br/><br/>This link is for the redist package for running software that requires 2005 support for VC etc, which is likely the same as the requirement for the Visual Studio 2005 product....<br/><br/> <strong><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/also-373387" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALSO">ALSO</a> is this the real Visual Studio 2005 ( Purchased - Hopefully Legally Licensed ) version - OR - Visual Studio Express 2005 which is free?</strong>You need to install the XP Service Packs...Okay, yes I know they need the sp2 and up.

Solve : May have killed my OS by shredding 2 software drivers, could use advice? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I had been having blue screen problems with my old Dell XP. The programs WhoCrashed and BlueScreenView implicated a few drivers of non-essential software as the culprits. I examined the drivers module in AutoRuns (by Sysinternals) and carefully selected non-essential software drivers for disabling of their autostart status by unchecking the box in AutoRuns. (I avoided hardware drivers, Microsoft drivers, and drivers for actual autostart programs.) Three times when I restarted after this limited driver-autostart disabling I got the STOP: 0X0000007B blue screen. I was in effect forced to use Last Known Good Configuration on the subsequent startups, and this restored all the autostarts I had disabled. To test what was going on, I shut down my system without disabling any driver autostarts, and the system started normally.<br/><br/> I tried disabling via AutoRuns only two files in the system32\drivers folders that were implicated in previous blue screens : wrkrn.sys (associated with Webroot, which after expiration had continued on my system as an on-demand scanner) and vvbackd5.sys (associated with a FarStone program which I had not yet chosen to utilize). I got the STOP: 0X0000007B blue screen again. After this in my frustration I shredded wrkrn.sys and vvbackd5.sys.<br/><br/> Really bad move. <strong>After this I continually get the STOP: 0X0000007B blue screen when I try to start the computer. On the next try I will get the menu that offers "Safe Mode" and "Last Known Good Configuration", etc., but those options lead only to more STOP: 0X0000007B blue screens</strong>. I had deleted those two drivers previously without problems, but it had been after moving them out of system32\drivers. (And of course, the drivers had been recreated.)<br/><br/> <strong>I know it's academic at this point, but what do you think I could have done with those drivers without creating the mess I created?</strong> Maybe I should have just uninstalled the programs although I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/preferred-1163231" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PREFERRED">PREFERRED</a> not to.<br/><br/> I took my computer to one repairman, and <strong>he said it couldn't be fixed.

A good adaptor of this sort can be had for as little as $20 (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0063JN3WE/...p;linkCode=asn">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0063JN3WE/...p;linkCode=asn</a>). <strong>Any advice about this procedure?</strong><br/><br/> I have Laplink PC Mover Ultimate.

Solve : File options folder? Reinstalling Windows XP? |

After running the program for the first time and destroying the "contaminated" files, I turned my computer off.<br/><br/>When I turned it on again the next day and tried to run the programs on my desktop the following warning came up:<br/><br/><br/><br/>This happens with EVERY program, including Spybot. The same warning comes up when I tried to remove the program and I cannot add any programs at all now.<br/><br/>I cannot go in and run the disk defrag or anything. I can run Internet Explorer.

I'm assuming this has to do with the File Options problem as well.<br/><br/>I just canceled all of the warnings because it wouldn't allow me to open them in any program. It went ahead and repaired XP though, even through all of these warnings. Obviously it didn't repair it though or I wouldn't be having the same problems.<br/><br/>Is there anyway just to wipe out XP?

I can't seem to find a 64-bit alternative besides the aforementioned Spy++ but I don't think it can be redistributed as-is.<br/><br/>I think I figured out what that icon was.

Solve : system configuration??? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>While working on my PC today..I ended up doing a restart. When windows loaded I got a box that says "System Configuration" at the top and "You are using the selective startup for troubleshooting your system". I didn't change anything on my pc.

Thank u! Trish.......What operating system are you using ?<br/>Have you downloaded any updates or anything else just prior to this occurring ?<br/><br/>let us know<br/><br/>dl65 I am operating in Windows ME.. I did download and install Ad-aware today..ran that particular program but did not delete anything after using it since I was not sure what was safe to delete. ??<br/>Thanks for any help u can give! you did not use msconfig in the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/run-1192138" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RUN">RUN</a> box?....this just happened yes/no if you wish to disable this message tick the box..How ya doing Trish,<br/>Do you have a more tech-savvy user on your machine? <br/>The box that poped up is because someone used the MSCONFIG utility to change the was windows starts. This utility is a favorite of PC repair Technicians, to prevent troubling applications from starting when Windows starts. Normally, chosing "NO" to show this message when windows starts is okay, but if you don't remember using the msconfig utility to investigate a problem, OR ANY OTHER USER ON THAT MACHINE, then you might want to double check that all is well. You can access the utility, by clicking the start button, and then the run command. type "msconfig" and a window will appear. You will want to click the "startup" tab to make sure that only the programs that you use are starting with windows. Be CAREFULL, as you can fubar you machine with this utility too! IF, under the startup tab, you see items for example, that arent named, you will want to make sure these processes don't start with windows, thereby, preventing them from doing their maliciousness, and freeing up valuable system resources. It is also important to make sure that you Anti-virus and firewall software are starting with windows, make sure these are CHECKED. After applying your new startup configuration, you will be prompted to reboot, and upon <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/returning-1187974" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RETURNING">RETURNING</a> to windows, you will get that screen you saw. Clicking NO once for each user, will allow you to start your modified startup configuration everytime without that screen coming up.<br/><br/><br/><a href="http://www.totalaccesssolutions.com">http://www.totalaccesssolutions.com</a>No..this is the odd thing. I never changed the settings in "msconfig". I am the only user of this pc too! <br/><br/>It all started yesterday when I sought help for a problem I was having on occassion with connecting through my cable modem.. Even though my modem was in working <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/order-238912" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ORDER">ORDER</a> when I would click onto internet explorer I would get "detecting proxy settings" and then an error message.

I was then told to go to Internet Explorer..Options..advanced tab and set to default which I did. And well.. what I described about the new system config box is what started happening.<br/><br/>Ok..so I see that I can change the startup by using msconfig and changing it to normal setup... I checked my "startup" in msconfig and see that there is a ton of things apparently running..perhaps this is why my system resources are constantly running low. I am not that experienced at this and am not sure which are safe to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/turn-767121" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TURN">TURN</a> off?

Norton can slow ME down considerably.<br/><br/>You should delete all that AdAware finds, I do, and also install SpyBot S&D & SpywareBlaster. Make backups just in case.<br/><br/>You can clean up your system too by using delindex.bat on your Windows ME Start-Disk (bootdiskette).<br/><br/>Keep your hidden C:\_RESTORE Folder down to 500Mb in size.<br/><br/>In relation to the msconfig message, did you check the box "Don't show this message again." if not, then you should do so.<br/><br/>In IE, Tools, IE Options, Advanced, Uncheck:<br/><br/>"Activate install on demand" (Other) , and, "Activate install on demand" (Internet Explorer)</p></body></html> | |
