| | Re: No sound You could have saved 9.95 if you had listened to the chaps above. And Driver Detective is free. But you got the job done, and sometimes life is easier if you can ignore the internals of these pesty machines. |
| | You need a bootable medium with chkdsk. One such simple self-installer to floppy is NTFS4DOS. It's originally an Avira utility. Search for it; the original [vsn 1.8 or 1.9] will install to a sys, and when run will create a bootable floppy with chkdsk.exe on it. Other reworked free offerings … |
| | Hi, nemesis, it looks like you may have a rootkit... and a few unhidden malware files to boot. ==Download this temp file cleaner from [url]http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1[/url] --dclick in the download window to run it, and when ATF Cleaner opens go Select all, and then Empty Selected.

| | Do you use Windows Messenger, Betty? If not, remove it... go Control Panel > Add/Remove Pgms. In the LH panel click Add/Remove Windows Components; when that box loads scroll down to Windows Messenger and uncheck it, click Next.. |
 | Re: Tablet PC "The idea I had was to remove the hdd, plug it up to my laptop (via a usb adapter), throw the windows cd contents onto it and install it." Well, roughly that... what you should do is pull the hdd and plug it into another system using some adapter, as … |
| | Hi. Restart your computer, press F8 several times while POST is running and before IDE/drives detection completes. - On the Windows Advanced Options Menu, *** select Last Known Good Configuration and press Enter.

| | Dates... dates... there is a reasonable chance that the OP is dead by now... :) Happy, you jus gotta close off some of these ancient threads.. :) |
| | Re: HELP!!! Gee. You almost totally disguise your advertisement with the potted Microsoft OS history. Almost. I hope your students do not expect tutelage of a high standard of English expression. |
 | Simple things first regarding the bad pool error. You might check your hard drive for errors [some software might be introducing an error because of minor corruption].... In the Start, Run window enter... chkdsk /r After that, stop and then uninstall your AV service [Avast], then reinstall it. |
| | Or there is this, one I use, WinToFlash. If there is a simpler method, I have not bothered to look for it... Anyway, you seem to be sorted - this is for information only. Use this software and your XP installation cd to make a bootable USB flashdrive XP installation... … |
 | Naw. It's part of a Computer Associates firewall or AV service. Try uninstalling it, then reinstalling. Or just get a free AV/firewall package. |
| | Perhaps one or more of those pgms has Startup entries remaining? You can delete them from C:\Docs and Setts\either You or All Users\Start Menu\Programs. |
| | Interesting, delphine. When you start your machine quite early on in the loading of Windows a program called Ntldr is in control; one of its last functions is to read in kernel files and the SYSTEM reg hive to see which drivers should be loaded. Pressing F8 to choose Safe …  |
| | Bobby, when you reloaded the system [re-installed Windows?] did you do a normal/full format of the system partition rather than a quick format? If not, you might try running chkdsk [rclick Local Disk C:, > Properties >Tools > Error Checking/Check now, check both boxes and Start it]. |
| | Why not unhide the partition and run its installer, putting MC back on the sys? A simple command line tool for such a task, and many more, is MBRWiz.exe. |
| | Post the MBAM log [it is also saved under Logs tab in MBAM]. |
 | Tooth fairies don't do hdd miracles. Either a quick or full format will erase your file records from the MFT, a full format will also carry out what yu already did, a scan for bad sectors. It does not hurt to repeat chkdsk /r. Just in case. Use the RC … |
| | There is likely an error witht the way that drive is associated with Windows. That information is held under this key in registry : HKLM/System/MountedDevices Simply delete the whole MountedDevices key and restart; it will be recreated with new volume names for all currently connected drives; the errant msg should … |

| | Uh-oh.... okay, in that advanced options screen near the foot is an option to stop auto-restart on error. Enable that, try to start in Normal mode, give the full details of that next blue screen. |

In the box that pops press Remove Older Versions. You might also then try to update Java using the Update button; select the first option, to use jucheck.exe [that will work if Java is actually installed]. |
| | Re: PC wont boot up Can only guess.... if system lights show then go off I have to think that something pulls down the power supply sense circuit and it then switches off internally some supplies to the mb. The drain could be from anything... graphics card, RAM, CPU, drives. Try disconnecting all those: pull … |
| | Re: Missing dll Very likely the message is the result of a malware process or startup item calling that dll. ==Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from: [url]http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html[/url] or: [url]http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe[/url] =Dclick that file, mbam-setup.exe, to install the application, -ensure that it is set to update and start, else start it via the icon, and UPDATE … |

| | Avast is an excellent AV with a limited AS service. Comodo providess the best firewall [but one which is for people who LIKE to be prompted by a firewall doing its job]. Both are free. Combine them. |
| | PDFs and text within. Have you ever viewed the coding of sample pdfs? The text content is in binary. PDFs with text can also in fact be images of documents. My advice would be to invoke a pdf reader such as Foxit, and the text view within, select all and … |
| | "...there i found to upgrade BIOS! but it was failed, then i found that i will loose motherboard if i install a wrong version!" Instructions to flash usually come with a WARNING. When they mention problems which come with power loss during flashing [unlikely] or a corrupted BIOS after flashing, … |
| | Hi, go to Task Manager's Performance tab. Urk, it needs a bit of interpretation. So, to start, the figure at the foot of the PF Usage chart is in MB, other figures are in KB, and the conversion factor is 1024. PF Usage is a misnomer in Task Manager : … |

| | If I may butt in on the safe boot issue, Judy.... It is likely that the combination of malware, that stop code and an inability to enter Safe Mode whilst Normal Mode is okay, that the safeboot key in registry is damaged. This is often done by malwares to circumvent … |
| | Ah... that is because PP's fixit worked for you - it ws scripted to remove those entries from registry, and so they no longer appear in hijackthis. What, actually, are the contents of that common folder? And what is its full path? A quick way to kill both those birds … |
| | Yep. Corruption is the key to OE. It's built-in, i think... :). Open an explorer window and do a search for your OE account name - it will lie in a nest of folders something like local settings\outlook express - there may be anothe folder with a string of gibberish … |
| | [QUOTE=;][/QUOTE] Then un-hide it. But frankly, I don't see how that could affect Windows or Linuxes. It's just a bit set... the OS doesn't often care too much about the actual position of stuff on the disk, that is the job of the local controller - the OS wants to … |
| | Re: need help Cool. Just how alluring...? Anyway, we need a little more information. On the error. Is it actually one like this: "xxxx has encountered an error from which it cannot recover and needs to restart."?.. in which case a cause and an error code will appear. We really need those. Or …  |
| | Perhaps your ISP also has a telecoms business and does not like people "freeloading" [as he sees it] by using voice messenger services for "no" cost. But why he would throttle MSN and not Skype I do not know. Quiz them. M$ vs Google. The battle continues. |
| | Re: Process Query Perhaps there is a log which details when it ran; you might find it is called quite often. Or not. If you use TM to stop it you will discover eventually whether it is required to be running. Or not. Someone familiar with verizon's software on a dedicated site may … |

How did they come up with that name? How … |
 | The dual processors should handle the individual threads with no problems at all. Actuators/heads do not come into this because the drive controller or the windows disk drivers will queue R/Ws to the hdd. But possibly the ms installer software could be doing something like creating temp files with non-exclusive … |
| | Is this a fresh installation? And is another XP installation visible to Windows Setup? Because the file you refer to is RCPCORE.msi, a Roxio installer. Don't allow your new installation to see the old one before it has completed. |
| | Hi. Your post is not at all long... I hate guessing. Queryiing for more info just wastes time. "It shows up in BIOS and My computer and Disk Management just fine. Under Disk Management, it's apparently "Healthy"" just means that the controller on the hdd is working and responding to … |
The End.
