The new avg (8.5) has most of this, but it has slown my computer down enormously.

[little off-topic]
Anyone else have this issue or is it just time to format my HD (again)?

How about using google (http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=java+media+framework+download&btnG=Google+zoeken&meta=)?

By clicking the second link you would find this...

I had something like that too. Did you try to
-right click arrange icons by.....
-unselect lock web items on desktop?
I think it had something to do with that, but I might be wrong..

Try loading 'last known working configuration' in you boot menu.
If that doesn't work you could try downloading puppy-linux-live-cd and boot that. Then download the file and store it somewhere....

This sounds to me like something is overheating. When you reset right after the PC freezes, the PC is still 'hot'., so the change of crashing increases.
Try running something that takes up a lot of...

The problem is your router. (You probably saw that one coming..). Try looking on the compaq site if there are any firmware updates or known bugs.
If not: Do you still have warrenty? You could get...

Well it could be a few things.
-Your lancard is set to a manual IP-adress so it doesn't get an adress from DHCP
-Your card is defect
-Something went wrong with the drivers

You could try...

I do actually. Try another keyboard and if the cursor is still moving back, repost.

What program are you using?

Are you kidding me? :(

Niek

Start -> execute -> "c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe"

The rest is simple. Just make sure that the restorepoint isn't older then say two weeks.

Copy and paste the following lines into a Notepad file.
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
Save the file to your Desktop as whatever.scf.
Next left...

That's a tough one... I would say that you only need one copy, but I'm not quite sure.
I would send this question to microsoft and see what they have to say about it.

Please be more specific:

-what screensaver: a standard or downloaded one?
-freezes? Does you computer hang?
-do you need to reset or ctrl-alt-del?
-computer specs (videocard)
-Did the...

Do you have a new soundcard? If not, this solution will only make things worse for you.

What details are there? Is there a resource conflict or does it say that the drivers arren't properly...

Well...This thread is from 2005 so I guess 7.0 beta was pretty new back then...

Configuration->system->hardware(tab)->device manager

I used r-undelete (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/RUndelete-Download-1884.html) a (long)while ago and it did the trick for me. Good luck!

Is this for school or something? Windows never said something like this to me :)
Regards Niek

ah ok. I'm not that experienced yet with this forum, normally I just do C/C++.

Niek

Uninstall them both and see if windows works.
If it does: install one and reboot.
If it still works install the other.

regards Niek

Just leave the corrupted drive in the PC where it belongs and put in the winXP CD. Change the bootorder so that CD-ROM is primary bootdevice.
Wait for WINXP setup.
Choose Repair.

regards Niek

Not agreed, sorry.

There is a way....
Pull the drive from the computer and install it as slave in another computer.
Then open [root dir slave]:\config.sys with notepad and post it's contens...

Software. It always is :) How old is your XP-install? (when was the last format).
All the stuff you've just installed (AVG etc) is also slowing your computer down.
I recommend going to...

It is indeed. Just use JANINE's tip (borrow ps/2 - keyboard) and you'll be up and running again

Regards Niek

Don't hate me for saying this but: Did you connect the speakers correctly? It should be the green connector...
Are you sure your speaker work? If not, try you headphone and see if it works.
Do you...

Depends on what hardware you have.
driverguide.com (http://www.driverguide.com) has most drivers, it's a free subscription site

Niek

No that's not necessary.

Don't know. It looks like windows is loading somekind of defaultsetting everytime you boot. This may sound strange, but try changing your backgroundimage and then reboot...

Doesn't matter.

For your other problem:
How old? What kind of Mobo? Did you try hooking up a 'newer' harddrive?

Regards Niek

Well then it's your Mobo or CPU I guess.

You should repost in the 'troubleshooting dead machines' forum. Perhaps someone there can help you with your problem..

Regards Niek

Reformatted?

You could run chkdsk to, well, check your disk. Start -> run " chkdsk /F /R "
It will ask if you want to schedule chkdsk after reboot, answer Yes.

Regards Niek

Try booting into safe-mode (press f8 when your computer is starting and choose safemode) then try to delete the file.

Regards Niek

Is it still beeping? Please post the exact number of beeps and the time between them.
It could be your CPU, but I doubt it. Ghost warned you for an internal error, if it was your cpu the computer...

Try reinstalling the soundcarddrivers after you've done the windowsupdates.

regards Niek

You can use Puppylinux or Knoppix to salvage your files before recovering. And recovering != Formatting

Regards Niek

This error normally occurs when something went wrong with installing SP2. Perhaps the program you installed used some old config.
Anyway, to solve the problem you'll have to repair windows with the...

No it's not.

I wouldn't believe them if I were you.

How long have you waited, it could be that windows was still trying to recognize/install the hardware and it could be that windows hangs...

Well, you do have an IR-port it's in the back of the laptop and looks like this (http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Solo_Series/p9100/P910019.shtml) (more info here...

Did you download Internet Explorer 7 recently?

Still think it's IE7, try uninstalling it. I would also recommend scanning for adware etc, but I guess you've allready tried that?

It could be that it's not the DirectX that's the problem, but your videocard. My 'old' GeForce 4 doesn't support pixelshading, so I think your GeForce3 (?) doesn't either. This could be the reason...
