every thing on my pc dobbles when i gae on line yEver considered buying new glasses?Raptor....... that was nicely done...... superb....

Why couldn't I have thought of that I'll play nice.

Scan for viruses, spyware and trojans.ive done that
Does this happen immediatly when you connect to the Internet? Be more specific..i dont no il ask my mom its her prolbem. but i dont think so its all the time

Have your mother tell you the specific details of the problem and her hardware specifications and Operating System.justin....Is it possible that you have the links set up to OPEN or react with a single click and Mom is double clicking and so things open twice ?

dl65  no shes a dumbb assss when it comes to computers
Must be in.. Nevermind.

You didn't quite answer my post.no its  set to doble clickJustin, I'd love to help you with this problem (hey, I'm a computer geek, and proud!) but I havn't got a clue as to what the heck you're on about.

[HERE THY SERMON BEGINS]

You're 16 (according to your profile), and presumably you have been taught how to construct basic sentences and how to spell simple words at school. It really is so much easier to follow through with what you're saying when you actually put some effort in.

I'm not saying you have to dot every 'i' and remember the UMLAUT on every 'ë', but at least try and not write like a complete donkey.

[HERE ENDETH THY SERMON]

Anyways, I think there are two things you should really check here. Firstly, go into the Control Panel and have a look at the Mouse settings. It could be that the double-click speed may be set so low that it's interpreting two completely seperate clicks as one double-click.

My other suspicion is a faulty mouse - perhaps a bad connection? The quickest way to CONFIRM or rule this out is to borrow another mouse and plug it in instead. If the fault re-occurs, it's likely the original mouse is okay and that it's a software thing.I still THINKS he needs new glasses.get you mother to post her problem...stereo talking does not WORK...or clean the mouse..

Hi all, I installed sp2 after installing all the Hp driver updates and MICROSOFT updates.

I can't connect to the internet.
I downloaded a PROGRAM to erase my hard drive and I need software for WIRELESS to connect.Then you will have to obtain such software from the NIC's MANUFACTURER website.What is NIC manufacturer?
Do you mean  Microsoft wireless?NETWORK INTERFACE card.

I donot know what the manufacturer of your network card is.

You should. Check either the box or the card it's self.

Or does this concern a Wireless router? Then properly configure it using the manual and/or your ISP's manual.

Been a GREAT computer for the past two months

Got a blue screen of death (BSOD) on sunday and when it went to boot up I got 1 long tone and 2 short meaning the video card issue. Anyway, after reseting CMOS and playing AROUND with DIFFERENT things it finally booted up correctly. Then today I got another BSOD. And after waiting and playing for about 20-30mins got it to boot up again. I GUESS there is something wrong with my BIOS or something. Anyone have any idea on a diganosist to run or something to do.

Hello Michael, which operating system is this you're using?Read this article:

How to fix a general PROTECTION faultI am using XP. With SP2. Havent had a problem. The only two times this has happened is while useing DIVX. But I still am scared to restart the computerDoes the events log tell you anything...control panel admin tools...or try this>http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

Have any of the board got experience of implimenting/running Windows Software Update SERVICES.

I am considering implimenting it on my network (40 computers running W2000 & W2000 Server)

What is your opinion of it ?Uh-uh! Any software update that is to be deployed on the network should be downloaded to a TEST MACHINE and thoroughly tested under all CONDITIONS before deployment. Otherwise, you could wind up with about 40 headaches. I am just reading the 95 page white paper on SUS now.

Staged deployment allows me to download the updates and DEPLOY to a test machine first

Hi Mac

Ok, found it here ... http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/ and download here ... http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/download.shtml.

I was going to do something like this (I use cyberscrub at home) but it involves installing any program I want to use - but I don't have admin rights.

If it can't be done by DOS (anybody?), is there an Eraser type of program that does NOT need to be installed?

Thanks in advance.

Working with computers? I am trying to get the pornography off the internet and put the producers out of business. Not a nice bit of ... "business", more like sex-slavery thanks to all of these hol(e)y men.

Hello!  I have an HP Pavilion a1357c Desktop computer and when I turn on my computer it displays three options.  I would just like to know if there is anyway I could get into the computer in safe mode or something.  I want to create some system recover disks because I have lost mine.  Here is what it displays!
Press "R" for standard PC Recovery options.
Press "F" to format the hard drive and reinstall the original factory settings.
                All data will be lost!
Press "Q" to Quit this menu.

Any suggestions will help!
Thanks for taking the time to read this!Thinking this system has a recovery partition at say D: so if you took option ( F ) it would wipe C: clean and rebuild it back to factory settings. * All personal data would get wiped out!

( R ) looks to be the Repair Option and I would suggest that instead if you have important info you dont want to lose.


*** Once you have the system running healthy again you can either use a tool that HP placed on the system to burn a set of DVD's or a USB Pen Drive with the recovery disk info to have in case the hard drive EVER crashes, or if running Windows 7 can send an image to a USB or External Hard Drive which can be transferred back to a hard drive using a bootable Windows 7 repair disc and then grough through a what can be confusing process to restore. OR use a disk imaging software to create a GHOST image of the C: drive and D: drive if its PARTITIONED with recovery on D: etc, and have that as a system recovery method. I like Ghost 2003 for Windows XP OS which can be purchased cheap on ebay etc. Ghost 2003 does not support VISTA, 7, or 8 though and to back up newer OS you would want to get a modern disk image utility. Many out there and the better ones cost money although there are free options.

First off I hope this is the right THREAD for this question.  I've searched for this problem and found some help, but not one that will work.  First off I'm rebuilding a simple system for my daugther so the hardware and software are older.  The computer is a pentiem 4 system with a 40gb hard drive and 512 ram.  Here is the problem.  I'm trying to install windows xp home edition to the system, the cd boots up and everything seems to be work all right.  The files load and it states that setup is starting windows.  Ok so far so good..however it doesn't do anything...20 mins go by and still nothing.  So I decided to restart the computer and they a blue screen is there telling me that windows has shut down( did it really ever start) to protect my computer and files  it then states DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL  Now I looked into ways to fix this, but they all state going into window safe mode, since windows never started or was as far as I can tell never fully loaded that won't work.  So my question is how can I tackle this problem if I can't get into safe mode since windows was in the process of loading  not on the system..Thanks for any help you can give, if more INFO. is needed just ask and I'll answer them for you.  Thanks.
Have you used this same XP Home CD to build this system up prior successfully without any problems? If so, I would get a bootable hard drive utility to MAKE sure the hard drive is healthy as for I have seen hard drives with bad sectors not get though an install and perform these problems. Each drive manufacturer has a downloadable tool that can be burned to a CD and booted to diagnose their drives health. * Also I'd check to make sure the Windows XP Home disc doesnt have any scratches as for it could be an install issue where the disc can not be completely read and so its installing incompletely and hanging through the install. * Also I have seen dirty CD-Roms cause this, so if you have a spare CD Rom to swap with the one in this computer and make sure the jumper is set the same for CS, MA, or SL setting.

Thank you for a fast reply.  I tried the suggestions you gave with no luck.  About a year ago I loaded xp on to this computer and hard drive with out any problems...so I'm still trying to see if anyone has some other suggestions to get it up and running.  Hopefully other suggestions come in and one of them will help.  Thank you in advance for any help that is given.Here are some areas to check out.
1. Something is sucking a lot pf juice from the PSU. Remove the floppy ndrive. try another CD-ROM.

2 . The CD itself may have starches or sludge marks.  Clean the CD with toothpaste, dry carefully, try again.

3. The hard drive has some issue. Use a program like Gparted to divide the HDD into two partitions The first partition can be about 200 MB.  The second can be the rest of the drive. You are going to 'waste' the first 200 MB of the drive. Install on the large partition.  (Some hard drives have bad sectors in the first part of the disc.)

Gparted is on Linux live CD.

Have a fiend help you download and burn CDs. Well I tried these next few suggestions but still not working.  I'm not sure what is still happening you'd think it would be something simple, but so far simple suggestions so far( I know you start small and only two people have suggested) haven't done the TRICK.  Well first off thanks for the help so far, but I'm still looking for some more.  So please SEND them in so I can get this problem fixed.  Thanks in advance for any help that is given.I have heard of this problem with burned Windows CDs that were burned at too high a speed. Of course they are mostly illegal! Assuming this is not the likely cause, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL can mean hardware problems - motherboard or RAM. I would definitely try another CD if one is available.

 I've been try to find another xp disc, but I haven't been able to get one....at least not yet.  While I'm trying to do this if anyone has some other suggestions that would be great.  I've found that a community of help is the best way to fix a problem.  So if you have any ideas please let me know.

Hi people

Can anyone tell me how to hide or display DESKTOP icons in windows xp.  The registry entries HideIcons is set to 1.  I am able to right CLICK on the desktop and get the menu.  But the icons are not DISPLAYED.  When i try to copy shortcut älredy exist" message is displayed.http://www.answers.vt.edu/ask4help/desktop/vtkb1979.htmUsually you just right-click an EMPTY area of the desktop to get the menu and click on: Arrange Icons by ... , and then click on: Show Desktop Icons

Is there a - NoDesktop - ENTRY in your registry?

Im running xp home and have a copy of xp pro, some people have told me not to reinstall windows over windows, i just want to know if i will be able to retain all my files off of my c: and d: drives?. the whole reason for all of this is this error message that keeps coming up with "ndis.exe" and .tmp files not being "valid"?
any help ASAP would be GREATLY appreciated.You can uninstall Windows XP by going to the Add/Remove software menu. However, it is advisable that you create backups before attempting to remove Windows XP.

I suggest you use your D Hard Disk Drive or PARTION to store the files you wish to keep and completely format the C: drive.

If you only format the C: directory, your files on D: will remain there.

Whenever I listen to music on this computer (MP3, WAV) the music lags, slows down and has interferance whenever the master hard drive does anything. What could be CAUSING this problem?Has this problem occured recently?

• Clean registry
  
• Remove redundant files
  
• Clean case
  
• Clean Internet History, cache and files.

Guys and Gals

I have a wee problem - my PC (2.8HGz, 512Mb, XP Pro SP1) seems to pause occassionally, especially after using Outlook and downloading email or occassionally after surfing. When it pauses the internet connection indicator in the taskbar doesn't change (doesn't go away), even though the modem disconnects but nothing else will run.

Clicking on anything gets a brief hour glass then nothing, in this state not even the control+alt+delete will bring anything up. Sometimes the pause lasts a few minutes then the PC suddenly wakes up and does all the things you've clicked on whilst in pause mode.

Have up to date Nortons anti-virus and checked with Adware and SpyBot and nothing FOUND.

To clarify my problem as my writing isn't as clear as I first thought, all goes fine whilst I'm connected to the net for email or browsing. But when I disconnect the connection icon (two linked PC's on right hand side of task bar) doesn't change even though the computer has physically disconnected.

Then when I try and open another application the computer pauses for up to a minute or two before the application opens. Sometimes an application that was already open when I disconnect runs ok, but sometimes not. eg sometimes I can reply to an email in Outlook and sometimes can't - pressing reply will bring up a new window but everything stops when I try and type a reply.

Even the start-close sequence doesn't work - just get an hourglass up for a bit but no closedown.

Hope this makes it a bit easier to understand.


Alan...You should really update to SP2 really otherwise there is no knowing what the problem might be.

There was a security update for IE just this morning and WMP10 is now available outside of the US of A.

All updates installed beautifully and WMP10 is now playing Karen Carpenter's "It's going to take some time this time ... "

It is a BIG improvement on WMP9 with a MUCH better layout for the interface.

About ten DAYS ago I used AutoStreamer 1·0 to merge the SP2 update together with the files on my original XP CD and burn a new XPSP2 CD.

(You can either use the full 266Mb SP2 download from MS or use the FREE SP2 CD from MS which will do Home and Professional versions of XP and is a better deal.)

It won't take more than about 25 minutes for AutoStreamer to make an .ISO file for you to burn the new XPSP2 CD and then it is really quick doing a CLEAN install, update and re-install the rest.

I kept all my settings on three FLOPPIES made by the File & Settings Transfer Wizard. The files stayed on drives D: E: and F: so that was not a problem.

You get a MUCH cleaner install if you do it that way.

I installed the Recovery Console to the HDD this time and put Title Bar Clock on the system and added Layout.zip to remember the desktop icon layout.

Hope this is the right forum for this.  Anyway, here's my problem:
 
All of my mp3 files are saved in one folder.  I have approximately 5000 mp3 files in this folder.  Some time ago, I noticed that only about 2100 of these files are listed when I use Windows Explorer to list the files in the folder.  I've tried changing the folder options to list all files, including hidden files, but it doesn't make a difference.  I know these files are still in this folder, since I have all of these files loaded into WinAmp for shuffle play, so these files still exist and are being accessed by WinAmp.
 
Am I missing something here?  Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated!When looking at the folder properties how many files does it show? If any are present but hidden beyond hidden, it should still show the file count to be say 5000 ... if it shows just 2100, then there really are only 2100 when looking at properties. Sometimes music players will show say 5000 but they are linked among the music folder you created and the music folder in the user profile or elsewhere.Dave, when looking at folder properties, it says there are only 2149 files in the folder.  I know the remainder of the files are in that folder, because if I'm using WinAmp, and I check on the properties of one of the songs playing (one of the ones that aren't listed using Explorer), it shows the file path to that very folder.  If the file wasn't there, it certainly wouldn't be playing.

It's really strange.  I've never encountered anything like it.Additional info:  When I drop into a DOS shell, a DIR command also only lists 2149 files.Have you checked the disk for errors lately?
Quote from: Salmon Trout on OCTOBER 27, 2013, 01:53:22 AM

Have you checked the disk for errors lately?

You want to run chkdsk /r not chkdsk /f

For future reference...the /r switch implies /f....
So although not as quick it's the proper method.

P.S....perfect time to start a regular backup routine as you almost learned the hard way...just sayin.

I have been thinking this since quite early in this thread... large number of files vanished suddenly... Uh-oh!

After files from internet are downloaded the files end up with no permissions. All users are missing, even the System, Administrators, and Everyone accounts. The only way these files become usable is to add the System and Administrators accounts. Why is this and how do I fix this problems. Thanks in ADVANCE for any help you can send my way.Ran into the same thing a long time ago and STILL had notes on it. This is the process I USED, got it from somewhere, dont remember, but it worked for me.

1. Log on under an admin account.
2. Click Start
3. Type the three letters "cmd" (Without quotes) and press Enter.
4. Type the following commands (without quotes) and press Enter after each:
    "takeown  /f   F:\   /a   /r   /d   y"
    "icacls  F:\   /t  /c  /grant administrators:F   System:F  everyone:F"
    (Answer "yes" when prompted "Are you sure?")Thanks a bunch! I had some issues with the commands not being in XP Pro but found a workaround. Using the info you posted I came up with this:

Windows Vista or higher:
1. Log on under an admin account.
2. Click Start
3. In "Run" box enter "cmd" (without quotes) and press Enter.
4. Type the following commands (without quotes) and press Enter after each:
     takeown /f c:\ /a /r /d y
     icacls c:\ /t /c /grant Administrators:F System:F Everyone:RX

========================================================================================
     
Windows XP:
1. Log on under an admin account.
2. Click Start
3. In "Run" box enter "cmd" (without quotes) and press Enter.
4. Type the following commands and press Enter after each:
    If "takeown.exe" is not AVAILABLE copy it from a 2003 32-bit server and use it same as 1st option above (without brackets):
    [ takeown /f c:\ /a /r /d y ]
    XP has "cacls.exe" and it can be used as follows (without brackets):
    [ cacls c:\*.* /T /C /G Administrators:F System:F Everyone:R ]
    (Answer "yes" when prompted "Are you sure?") <<= Note: Only the "cacls.exe" COMMAND requires this.
    -or-
    Copy "icacls.exe" from a 2003 32-bit server and use it same as 1st option above (without brackets):
    [ icacls c:\ /t /c /grant Administrators:F System:F Everyone:RX ]

BTW, you may not want to give "Everyone" full control...

Thanks again!

When downloading the latest VERSION of Trend Micro AV I was requested by Trend Micro to turn off SpywareBlaster. Is there a REASON for this, if so what is it?

Thanks. Yes...some installed protection apps will stop/block another A/V app and flag it as malicious.Thanks PATIO for the info.Anytime...it WONT hurt to temporarily DISABLE just for the DLoad...
Welcome Aboard.

Hi,

I just purchased a second hand PAVILION DV7-2100sa from a friend and he said it wasn't TURNING on. I thought I'd give it a shot.

So I PLUG in the AC adapter and the power light on the side comes on. Also the "Charging Battery" light on the front flashes then goes off.

When I press the power button, the power light on the front flashes once, briefly, then goes off. That's it.

I've tried a hard reset but that didn't CHANGE anything.

All help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you  Hard to say.  One guess is a bad AC adapter.  Another guess: the battery might be bad; many laptops will run without the battery.  Have you tried that?  Otherwise, I'm afraid you may have a faulty motherboard.

When you try to start it, can you hear any sound at all from it if you put your ear very close to it?  Any clicking sound or any sound at all? CHEERS soybean,

I've tried it with another AC adapter and tried it without the battery and it didn't change.

And no there's no sound whatsoever from it. None at all. Just light on...light off. That's it.

But thanks for your help anyway.

I have a computer which's C:/ drive only has 100MB free out of it's 74GB. Now, there is literally nothing on the computer besides google chrome and firefox and like malwarebytes. I found that the WINDOWS file is taking all the room, it says
Size: 110GB
Size on disk: 70.6GB

I really don't want to kill this computer by accidentally deleting an essential Windows file, but I know that something is wrong here and need some help so that I may find which of the hundreds of files within WINDOWS is taking up all the space and know if it's safe to remove.


Thanks for any help.Do you have an external storage device for backup? Does the computer have anything really important?
If you have the original install CD and the product key, just do a full install after wiping the disk with a program  made for nuking the whole drive.
Here is a video.

Make sure you have a backup important data.Yea, that's what I wanted to do. But, the computer has installed a program that costs about $2000 and only works on this computer. Reinstalling windows would render the program useless, even if I backed it up(I think it may only have allowed one install).

But, anyway, I WENT through and made sure and the files and folders inside WINDOWS definitely don't add up to 70GB, they don't even go higher than like 6GB. Does anyone have an idea without having to wipe the drive?Forget about wiping the drive.
OK, I see your  problem.  For a $2000 program, another answer is needed.
Best answer is too buy a new hare drive and clone the hard drive,. The use the new, LARGER drive and  but keep the original as the backup.
This is the safest and most conservative solution.

Right now, the older style hard drive, PATA, is the best WAY to add life to an old PC. Expect almost a 50% increase in performance by having more free space. But trying to sort out what is taking so much space is a tough nut.

I see 160 GB drives for under $20. Very economical upgrade for an old PC.

1) Your first post says Windows is taking up 110Gb on a 74Gb drive. Please explain.

I have a problem in TRANSFERRING large files between TWO computers on a LAN.  The two computers in question are both GX-280s  running XP SP3.  The LAN is wired.  I am using cut and paste in Windows Explorer to try to do this.  I have been successful in moving the smaller files (one as large as 2,831,154 KB) but when I try to copy larger ones I get

"Cannot copy xxxxx: There is not enough free disk space

Delete one or more files to free disc space, and then try again.

To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary file, click
Disk Cleanup"

At that time the receiving drive had
78,891,602,272 byes Used Space
1,421,144,064,000 bytes Free Space

The File I was trying to transfer had 4,229,608 KB

A copy the 4.2 GB file that failed could be made (using cut and paste in Windows Explorer) to the same disk it was on.  I have tried this both "pushing" and "pulling" and get the same result

I had thought that somehow the data might be put in memory before being written to the disk on the receiving COMPUTER and increased the size of  Virtual Memory to

756/1512 MB (Initial/Maximum) on C Drive and
1500/3000 MB on D Drive.
System information show that there was 1,536 MB Total and 1.09 GB Available Physical memory before running any of this.

That still doesn't make it work

Is this a fundamental problem of Win XP?  I don't see how the LAN itself (the switches and the cables) could be a problem.  Surely the data would be sent in smaller packets anyhow since the smaller files that transferred successfully took a number of minutes to complete and it was possible for other computers on the LAN to talk to the DSL modem and the internet while the transfer was taking place.



Sounds like the drive you're transferring to is formatted as FAT32, rather than NTFS.  FAT32 doesn't support files of that size, whereas NTFS does.Thanks much, that works.  It is a long process moving all those files but they are moving.  It was a used drive I bought and it was already formatted so I didn't think to look.  FAT32 goes back to W98 or so, I think, and I wouldn't have expected it on a SATA-2 disc, much less one that large.  Again thanks.

By nature the Win file copy/move operations can be slow...because they overthink things in Redmond Wa....
I use and recommend TeraCopy for this.
Freeware...give it a try. Quote

OK here is my problem I am running WIN ME and LOW and behold on day I TURN on the cpu and it stops on my background. The pic appears but that’s all. NO icons NO start bar NO nothing except a LOVELY photo I took of the German countryside some time ago. The mouse appears on the screen however I am unable to right click and get the menu. If you hit ctl/alt/del it brings up the close program window and clearly shows that there are not any programs running. However the usual pressing of the keys will shut the CPU down. This is the only WAY to shut it down as I don’t have a start menu or anything else. Please send your knowledgeI've seen this on WinME.  I suspect you may have had a power glitch, while the computer was on, and you did not notice it.  Use "System Restore" to go back to a date and time when it was working.....draging foot in the dirt....

mmm k how do I use system restore? is this from the recovery CD? Or can i get to it from the bootup screen?


THANK YOU for all your help!try booting in safe mode

For WinXP it's:
Start-->Programs-->Accessories-->System Tools-->System Restore

Should be similar in WinME.  If not, go to Start-->Help, and type in "System Restore".

Hey there,

I want to reformat my Hard Drive for there are too many errors, a few viruses, and lots of missing files, corrupted files and files that I do not know if I can delete or not.

What I want to do is Reformat the whole hardrive and then install Windows XP. I have the Windows XP Disc, and I already attempted to install windows xp, so it done so sucessfully but it did not takeover windows 98, so now I am stuck with Windows 98 in C Drive and Windows XP in D Drive, Please tell me how to delete everything from my computer (including XP) and how to start again fresh.

Thank you for your time and help

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313348 Partitioning & Formatting XP

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=30900 Using Disk Manager


Do you have the full XP CD or is it an upgrade? Have you slipstreamed Service Pack Two (SP2) together with your XP CD and made a new XP CD using AutoStreamer 1·0 so as to get a clean install? Do you have a full '98 CD?

Best to just boot to the new XPSP2 CD (easier to use oldbios.exe on a floppy instead of changing over your BIOS, but you can do either)

When you get to the install use the XP CD to delete all of your partitions and start over. Make an 8·0Gb drive C: (Type 8192) for the XP Operating System and a drive D: using the rest of the drive. (You can have one Primary and up to three Logical drives on one physical drive.)

Formatting is up to you, but I advise formatting directly to NTFS and NOT pre-formatting the drive with FAT32.

That way you get 4096 byte allocation clusters which are optimised for using XP on NTFS and an unfragmented Master File Table (MFT) and your system WILL run BETTER.)

When all is formatted just proceed with the INSTALLATION.
When complete run chkdsk and defrag, then add your Anti-Virus and Firewall (I use AVG & Zone Alarm), re-connect your modem, go-online, immediately update your AV and run an AV scan.

Now go to Windows Update site and add all relevant updates for your system.

Add ALL of your other programs, then add SpyBot SD, AdAware SE & SpywareBlaster, update them all and scan thoroughly.

You should install the Recovery Console to the HDD as WELL to save you time in the future.

With the XP CD in the CD-ROM and whilst connected to the internet type:

(CD-ROM Drive Letter):\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons , and press Enter.

Windows will contact MS and download the latest files for the Recovery Console and install them to your HDD. Next time you boot you'll see a 30 second count-down before XP starts.

Reduce this to 4 seconds in System, Advanced, Start-Up and Recovery, Settings. Leave the other setting at 30 seconds.

Make all of your personal settings and when all is to your liking image the drive to CDRs so that you can re-install easily.

Good luck!Okay, I have no idea what you guys are talking about, I don't know what A Boot Disk is or Fat32 or anything like that.

Here is what I can tell you:

I bought this computer and it came with Windows 98, and all of the CDs to install everything like the screen and printer and everything.

It also came with a Windows 98 Disc.

Just recently I decided Windows 98 is not good enough so I bought The Windows XP Professional Edition.

So now I have this CD and So I stuck it into my CD Drive, It scanned it and asked what i wanted to do, I clicked 'Install Windows XP' and so it began installing, It did ask questions and I had no idea what they were talking about so I just guessed the questions.

So I now have Windows XP and Windows 98.

It was suppose to go over my Windows 98 but it didn't, then I found out from a friend that I had to Reformat my computer so I can install everything and have a fresh start.

What I want to do is Delete everything, Everything from C Drive, and D Drive, Because I have alot of random files and errors.

Is there any simple ways to delete everything and reinstall windows xp? like a program I can download that will just delete everything and let me install windows? or do I have to do all that stuff like get a boot disk and stuff?

Sorry for been so stupid but I am no good when it comes to computers and thats why I came here to ask computer people who can help computer problems...

So if anyone can help me do this I will be so happy:

1) Delete Everything
2) Install Windows XP

Thats all i want to do, Is there any simple way of doing this? If so, Can you Please explain to me in a simple way so I can understand cause its hard rather than give you goobledgook have a [email protected]k here>http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxppro/installxpcdoldhdd/index.htmif you want to do a total clean install just do it an easy way... get a win98 Startup disk boot without cdrom support, type 'fdisk' and delete your primary partition. then reboot, same thing in fdisk and create a primary partition, reboot, boot with floppy and 'format c: /s'... popin your xp cd and install awayJesse Welsh.....What you should do is .....first go to bootdisk.com and D/l a win 98boot disk and put it on a floppy disc.( make sure the boot disk has  Format , Fdisk ,MSCDEX and several other Dos files on it .)

dl65  didnt i just say that dl65 ?   Quote

didnt i just say that dl65 ?  

no problem, i guess its a canadian thing !!!! just kidding.... i guess the saying great minds think alike? lol

made new account, hoping not to use administration account, i'm thinking it's easier for hackers to get in.  anyhooo, i am in panic mode, i have a new account and the name is Dar and it is a brand new account and my original one is GONE help please  xp pro 3Unless you went through the motion of deleting the prior account it should be there. Do you see the account under C:\Documents and Settings\

You should see:

C:\Documents and Settings\Dar

and others there listed under C:\Documents and Settings\

... the account if not seen there may be owner or administrator of your account that you think is gone, but is still there.

Logon to the other accounts and see what the desktop looks like. If you all of a sudden notice that your desktop is that of your original account then you found it.

By the way it is a good habit to create a user account in addition to the admin accoun and run as user privileges and elevate privileges to administrator when needed and then go back to user privileges, especially if you are surfing the grey area of the web in which you dont want anything installed through a bad script on a webpage etc.

Running as admin all the time has its risks. Those who create 2 or 3 accounts User & Admin or User, Power User, and Admin are better off.

thank you, i found the account in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator  but I do not know how to access it.  when i click start, log off, switch user I do not have the Admin account option.  ty for finding it for me, great RELIEF.  as for the rest of your message i will need to go step by step with it to understand it tyvmThe admin account you had prior... was this automatic logon or did it require a password to logon to your computer?

Is your current Dar account LIMITED to only user privileges or is it still an administrator privileged account that hasnt been set to user level yet?

* If Dar is admin privileged, you can go into where you created the Dar account and select to change the password to the administrator account, however if Dar is a user privileged account and you do not have the ability to make these changes you may need to use a Windows XP password crack disc to force change the administrator account password to blank or a password of choice to regain control as admin of the system.

Here is the Microsoft method, however I use a bootable CD that uses Linux to crack Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306214

The Bottom Line
The Offline NT Password & Registry Editor password cracker is one of the fastest free Windows password recovery tools I've used. I even prefer this tool over many premium password recovery programs.

In a Hurry?: Skip my review below and head right to the complete step-by-step guide to Offline NT Password & Registry Editor.

If you can burn a CD and choose a few options in a menu then you can hack into your computer with this free software.

Just download the free ISO file, burn it to a CD, and delete your password in just a few minutes. After that, you'll be able to access Windows without a password at all!

Visit Their Website
Pros
•Very fast password cracking tool
•No access to Windows or knowledge of old passwords is needed
•Program is completely free and open source, which means it will likely stay free
•Works with Windows 8 (local passwords only), Windows 7, Windows Vista, & Windows XP
•Program's ISO image is much smaller than those of other password recovery tools
Cons
•Offline NT Password tool is completely text based which is a little inconvenient
•ISO image must be burned to a CD before passwords can be reset
Description

Guide Review - Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor (2011-05-11 Build) is an amazing password recovery tool but instead of actually recovering your Windows password like Ophcrack and similar tools do, it deletes it. Without a password, you're allowed unrestricted access to your Windows operating system.

Offline NT Password & Registry Editor requires a little preparation but is very much worth the effort if you've been locked out of your Windows PC!

How To Use Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
Below is a quick how-to for Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. However, I highly recommend my step by step guide with screenshots if you're not familiar with Windows password recovery software and need a more detailed walkthrough.

To begin, visit the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor website by clicking the Visit Their Web Site link above the User Reviews at the bottom of this page.

Once there, scroll down to the "Download" section near the bottom of the page. Download the cd110511.zip file - the one described as the "Bootable CD image." The file is only around 4MB so it'll be a quick download for most of you.

Once downloaded, extract the ISO file (cd110511.iso) from the ZIP file and burn the ISO image to a CD. Burning an ISO file is different than burning a normal file so if you need help please see How To Burn an ISO File to a CD.

After burning, boot from the CD by rebooting with the disc still in the drive. Offline NT Password & Registry Editor will start automatically.

After that, just follow the instructions given on screen by Offline NT Password & Registry Editor.

When Offline NT Password & Registry Editor finally deletes your password, remove the CD from the drive. Reset your computer and log in as you normally do... but do not enter anything in the password field. You're in!

Once Windows loads, create a new Windows password that you can remember and then create a password reset disk so you never have to use this program again!

Hello All,

My Dell 3100c desktop is GIVING me a message "This Copy of Windows Must be activated before you can log on"
1.I have booted to safe mode with cmd and run rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk to try and activate for 30 days.
Nothing worked.
I think now my only option left is to reinstall windows xp but my problem is now i have no disc.

So what do i do now!

Please any help WOULD be life saving.
Thanks.Contact MS...they have an 800# for activation issues...Hello Patio,

Thanks for the reply.

A friend has GIVEN me the disc from his xp version it's pro version also.
Would that be ok to use.
My desktop version is oem.

If i install can i use my own key.
Yes.
The disc does not matter as long as the versions match exactly and you have a legit activation key...
It may still require a phone call to activate though.Hello Patio,

Thanks for the advice.Anytime...
Welcome Aboard...and bring us good news...
We love success STORIES here.giant... 3 things you could run in to:

1 - Since your friend's disk is not an OEM disk, you will likely have to go fishing for various drivers after installing.
2 - If the version (i.e. XP Pro) is not the same as what your desktop shipped with (i.e. XP Home), then your key will not work.
3 - You may still need to "Activate" windows after installation. I don't recall what the circumstances where, but I've had to "activate" a few times after installing - even though I provided a proper key. So that may not solve your problem entirely.

Nonetheless... when you "activate" windows all you do is call MS and give them a code and they give you one back to validate. As I recall it gives you the option to activate even without being logged in... :/ ALTHOUGH TBH it's been a while since I've had an expired windows XP install... so yeah.Thanks to you both for the replies.

I will get back to you with the results.

A few days ago, my ten-year-old computer (running XP) would not boot. I could not even boot in safe mode. I also couldn't back up my files. I was advised to run a system recovery, which would refresh my OS, delete all my programs (returning it to close to factory condition) but keep all my files. I did the recovery successfully, but now I can't find my files. They must still be in the hard drive, as the drive shows that it is almost full (about where I left off). The files must also be in "hiding", as I can right-click on the folders, look at the properties, and the total GB space does not equal the space of the drive. I also can't do a search to find the file names.

Does anyone KNOW how I can recover my files? I'm afraid to reboot my machine because I don't want my files to be DELETED. That's what I really want to preserve. I tried looking for a restore point, but there doesn't seem to be any. Maybe they were deleted.

Can anyone please advise me about how I might recover my files?

I would be very thankful for any information you could give me.

Thanks,
BPLook under disk management (winkey + R "diskmgmt.msc") and see if there is another segment that isn't showing properly. I doubt it's that... so you'd also look under C:\Documents and Settings for ant other user profiles. Other than that, you can just browse around the whole file system and see if you can find anything... you could also do a search of the C:\ drive for a specific file name. If you know just 1 file that has a totally unique name (and you remember it EXACTLY) then you may be able to find it...

however I honestly don't know what KIND of "system recovery" you did... so the files very WELL could be gone. Sorry.

kyle engineerI fear you were advised improperly...
A system restore retains all data and takes the OS back to a previous date...

A factory restore...which is what it sounds like you did wipes the whole HDD and returns the PC back to Day 1 status.

Hi everyone. My problem is:

Every time I open a program I see the same bad image exe warning.

For example, it says:

EXCEL.EXE – BAD IMAGE
The application of DLL C:\PROGRA~1\SEARCH~1\Datamngr.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

Is there anyway to get rid of this? I have an HP Media Center Desktop computer running Windows XP 2002, Service Pack 3.

I have an old Dell PC that has two versions of Windows XP Pro installed. One is the 64 bit VERSION and the other is the 32 bit version. I'm using a USB CORDED mouse and the mouse works just fine when I'm running XP Pro 64 bit, but the PC doesn't recognize it at all when I'm running the 32 bit version. It doesn't even recognize it as being plugged in. I know it has to be something simple, but I just can't figure it out. Any help would really be appreciated.Does the XP 32-bit see other devices on USB such as thumb drives etc? Generally corded mice are PLUG n play using a generic driver for optical mouse etc. In device manager are there any complaints or warnings red or yellow alerts? You might need a driver to enable the USB ports functionality etc is what I am thinking maybe, if so it should show an issue in device manager.Other USB devices work just fine. I checked in the device manager and there aren't any red or yellow alerts. The PC isn't even detecting that the mouse is plugged in. I just don't understand how it can work just fine under the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit version. The 32 bit version was a fresh install that I just did BTW.How are your 2 OSs installed? Are they on separate physical drives?

I don't totally understand why, but when I've installed 2 different installs on the same physical drive (though on different partitions) it has always been buggy at best, and totally busted at worst. This was especially true when the OSs were the same version (win 7 ult 32 & win 7 ult 64).

I'd say it could be something similar. Either that or you could check the http://www.dell.com/support/my-support/us/en/19/ site for driver updates. It could be that you don't have all the correct DRIVERS for your 32-bit and/or 64-bit version(s)...

Anyway... that's my 2.What does Device Manger show when booted to the 32 bit version ? ?

Hello everybody ,

PLS do helpout me..
My QUESTION is , how to examine whether a file is dll or exe by getting input as file characteristics in hex???
Actually by seeing the file characteristics we can say this file is dll or this file is exe . i.e. if this flag IMAGE_FILE_DLL is set to 1 we can say it is a dll file...
i need a simple code or logic to check whether the given file is dll or exe by passing file characteristics as input ....
Waiting for a good response from everyone...
Regards

i need a simple code or logic

better help for that would be found in the Programming board. Consider seeking help there.

Also, we're mostly all English speaking here, so you'd be helped a lot to clean up the language a bit. Your question is really hard to understand.

Took forever to load.
All system operations slowed tremendously after installation.
Uninstalled and did a "restore," system worked fine. Installed again. Took forever, using 80-100% of CPU. System slowed again. All system operations now use tremendous amount of CPU.


Version of XP: HOME
Type of Application: Game  
System Specs: AMD Duron 800 MG/hz, 256 RAM, 32 mg. Nvidia Ge2 M200, 40 Gig
is it a recent game? some may meet your requirments, but that just might be the minimum... also see if you have alot of proccess running or applications that might slow it down
What game is it?

On my WIN98 start-up the error of  eztext.dll file or program is missing .Where can I find where this file belongs? ???Alright..... start in comand prompt

Troubleshooting MS-DOS Compatibility Mode on Hard Disks

Hi everyone,

I HOPE you can understand me, here I go.

How can i turn on and off the writting tabs( I think thats what theyre call), so they can remember what you typed before. You know when you click twice, it shows you the other words you typed in the writting space before. Such as search engines words , email adresses, PASSWORDS and is there a way I can access and erase words that no longer I need anymore(pass credit cards numbers ECT.)

There must be a name for this feature on windows xp but Im new with computers and I do not know how to explain it in computer lingo what Im trying to tell you.

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks to all.If I am correct you have to go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab and then look for 'Auto line FILL in' (Freely translated...) under 'Surfing' (Or browsing..)or download windowwasher  from www.webroot.com or system mechanic from www.iolo.com..

Hi, I allowed automatic updates to load sp2 and all seemed just fine and jim dandy.
Then I used Partition Majic to resize a partition and it failed. The next time I opened Partition Majic it said:

"Disk 1 appears to have partitions created using a different drive geometry. This serious problem can lead to data LOSS"

then recommends reformating your entire hd and RESTORING it.


Also, after having used Image for Dos 100% successfully for 2 months the next time I use it (put the floppy in the reader) it reads a bit and then just stops and does nothing.

Any tips or hints. Thanks much!It is the motherboard drivers, graphics adapter drivers, modem drivers, chipset drivers, and the like that make the SITUATION prone to fail when restoring an image on one SYSTEM that was created on another.

You need to keep things SIMPLE and clean. The software cannot do miracles and did you format and partition the hard drive...please dont use partiton magic..winxp can do it ...by using disk management....as stated in previous replys..

All of a sudden, for no apparant reason, windows will not detect my firewired connected Sony videocamera.
What can be the cause Have you installed ANYTHING recently that may have either overwritten system files or cause a hardware conflict?

Check in Device Manager, if there are any problems.

Run sfc /scannowThe only program I've added is a anti-virus program.  I have not added any hardware.  The device manager shows no problems.  How can I repair Windows?
ThanksIs the virus SCANNER attempting to scan the device?REMOVE the firewire* and re-boot then shut it down then replace firewire*<*caution is needed when doing this if unsure DONT attempt it>also have you got sp2 update?have a look in the add/remove programs..maybe the firewire as GONE up the creak..is this the only connection for your vid cam...Thank you all for your help.  XP has healed itself after chk disk.

Wow!.... XP acually fixed itself??     ...walks away quietly.....

Running Windows XP Home. While I was moving files across a partition, Windows FROZE. After turning the computer off, then back on, I ran into a problem. I selected to start Windows normally. It went to the Windows XP loading screen, but immediately flashed to a blue screen that looked like an error message. It was too fast for me to see. It went back to the POST. I tried selecting all the DIFFERENT boot options, but they all resulted in the same thing. Is there any way to get things working again WITHOUT wiping the DISK?Boot from the Windows CDROM and choose the option to repair.Have you tried choosing the last KNOWN good configuration from the F8 menu?bsodhardware fault or software fault..reg corupted..was it irq-less-than-equal or a stop error message...do you have an ebd disk?

I've had this recurring problem for AWHILE now but never thought to ask for help, but since I just updated my 1Click You Tube Downloader as well as the YTD Video Downloader and am still having the problem I thought I would throw it out there, as the title says when I play a You Tube video after running it through one of the above mentioned downloaders there are no visuals at all just AUDIO, this only happens when using Real Player but also won't work with Windows Media Player 11, is there a way of fixing this ? Must be a codec issue with the media players you use.

Try using VLC media player and see if that will fix it. Just for your information, YTD comes with an infection. At least, it did with my computers but it's easily cleaned by running MBAM below.

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from here.
Double CLICK mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

• Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

• Please save the log to a location you will remember.
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the entire report in your next reply.

• Please close all open programs and internet browsers.
• Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
  
• Click on Clean.
  
• Confirm each time with OK
  
• Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.

I ran a scan disk from MS Doss (this I got to from the start menu) It ran for about 7 hrs, as I have a 60 G hard drive. Now I have no clue what to type at the C prompt. It has a C:\Windows with cursor. How do I exit this? I feel like a complete idiot, but I need help.
Thank you.
Deb Ricetype.....exit after c:\windows   and if you right click on the TOP the MSDOS window PROPERTIES see if the  close on exit box is ticked....then yopu can exit msdos using your mouse ....hth...Which Operating System are you using Deb?

ScanDisk will TAKE about 1 hour per 10 gigabytes of drive space to perform a full surface scan.

Norton Utilities DiskDoctor is a little faster and better, in my estimation.

Were you at a C:\WINDOWS> , prompt?

If so, you opened a DOS window to run scandisk from &AMP;  this is Windows ME and you should really run ScanDisk from the System Tools shortcut.

Anyway it seems to have completed OK which means your system is propably in good order.

FYI, You can also type scandisk in the Run window, or run ScanDisk in safe mode or from a Windows ME bootdiskette.

A:\>scandisk /all /surface , and press Enter.I always run scandisk from DOS using Win98SE. When the scan is finished I just hit ctrl-alt-delete and the computer restarts normally to windows.

My Outlook was working FINE, and i was able to send and receive MESSAGES.  All of the sudden, it is not accepting my login and is reporting an error.  I checked my password and it is right, case sensitive and all.  so i checked that aspect of it.  I do not know what to do.  I did not CHANGE any settings between the time it was working and when it started messing up.  Now i cannot view my e-mail!  Please HELP!  I don't know where to START. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=247106

Here's my situation, my computer was a P4 1.7 Ghz, 512mb DDR Ram with a small 14 Gb Hdd, so the other day my dad bought new hardware and i got my friend to install a 160GB HDD and another stick of 512 MB Ram.

I really know nothing about all this, thats why i got my friend is a really good with computers to help me and my old 14GB HDD was set as the slave drive to the other.

The old one has not yet been formatted, I was gonna scan it first...just to see if infected and then format it, but anyway, got XP on alright and the new hdd is working except im getting what it seems to be internet problems.

THe problems include, browser pages just loading up into errors after like 30 minutes of being connected, my system seems to be lagged and my CPU ussage is always at 100% and the only thing i see plaguing it like that is what is: IEXPLORER.EXE SYSTEM, now i know just ending that process would help right? well even when not connected it still plagues my system =\

something also i noticed with my connection to the internet....the sent and recieved bytes are going through the roof...like they rise alot faster then it usually did and it seems when it reaches a point, that is when internet pages just stop loading all together, like within 20 minutes of being connected...my connection will say that bytes sent is around 50 MILLION and bytes recieved around 20 million, and it was never like that before so im concerned with that...maybe thats my problem? cause it wasn't like that before

also since upgrading my computer with the new HDD and RAM, all my downloads have gone slower...like they sucked before...but now its just pitiful....speeds at around 8kb/sec and im on a DSL line

so those are my internet and what not problems...i dont know what to do...im confused and in need of serious help...any advice id REALLY appreciate it

thank you for your timeIf it were me I would put a 20Gb drive with an 8Mb disk-cache as Master and slave the 160Gb drive to it.

When you formatted the drive did you also partition it and have you formatted to FAT32 or to NTFS?

Did you format directly using the XP CD or did you format to FAT32 and convert it?

I would check to see the cluster size with chkdsk and see if it says 4096 byte clusters.

How is the Spyware/Adware situation? Are you using SpyBot SD, AdAware SE & SpywareBlaster?

How is your power supply coping with the additional RAM and the big drive?Not all DRIVES are compatible with each other, btw. TRY disconnecting your old drive.

(I use an 8·0Gb (8192Mb) drive C: for XP) the rest is partitioned for storage.your pc maybe infected by svhost exe....download a trojan remover?
