kc0arf,

It's not a server. I am fully aware of the risks associated with open ports.

Many of these programs have multiple manual steps, not just open and run types. I.E. spybot & adaware. ...

I’m looking for a software solution to control client’s PC’s remotely over the Internet in order to run antispyware/adware, antivirus, as well as any other maintenance type programs. I have been...

MAD_DOG,

Thanks for your reply. The issue is outlined on MS's support website. At some point down the folder tree of a network drive, XP won't auto-refresh changes within a folder. You must either...

bunny,

If you have many errors, it is best to save the data you need on a CD, Floppy, or another computer then format (erase) your hard drive. Then you can re-install windows and all of your...

chase_the_paper,

Help us out first. What's your problem?

MarieW,

Go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

sfc /scannow

This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their...

I have no clue.

Yes I know. You either get this by downloading it from the MS server (by pressing activate), or you call them on the phone and ask them for it. I've already told you your options. If you are having...

MarieW,

Try away.

MarieW,

Ignore ignorance, in this case petercoti.

I put some information about your errors at the bottom. As for now, just do the next step. Your installation of Windows might not be very...

MarieW,

No big deal, we'll walk you through it.

OS is operating system. Like Windows XP, 2000, or NT. I'm guessing XP.

Download & run: Spybot Search & Destroy...

Splink,

No, he just installed the OS without an internet connection. Just go ahead and activate your copy. You can do it over the phone or over the Internet.

MarieW,

So which one is it? Online, offline, or both?

Give us your specs...OS, Antivirus Program, and any other programs you use to scan or prevent atacks including, but not limited to, anti-...

prakharprakash,

I wouldn't think so, but I've been wrong before.

prakharprakash,

Copying data from one medium to another should be a one-to-one (unless you're performing some sort of conversion). If your pen drive compresses or converts the files then perhaps...

darkads,

Get yourself a tag editor and change the chinese characters to english.

dontlookatme999,

I would start with updating your NIC drivers from the OEM (NOT WINDOWS PLUG AND PLAY). If the problem persists, try updating your video card drivers, also from the OEM. Try those...

ingeborgdot@yah,

I'd advise against using XP firewall. It protects (barely) incoming connections ONLY. Basically XP firewalls are a malware's dream.

djm123,

What do you mean by:When you say "title bar" do you mean task bar?

And yes, you are right with your assumption about clicking system tray icons and going directly to the application....

Highcap56,

To me, it sounds like you're dealing with two issues. 1. The changes made by your havoc program, and 2. XP Copyright control measures (which are no picnic).

Although you can't...

General Zox,

First check your hard disk with this:
If that doesn't work, we'll take a look at your system memory. Perhaps your page file isn't large enough, or one of your memory sticks are...

tez,

Look in Start >> Programs >> Startup and see if there is a shortcut to your D:\ drive. If there is, just delete it. If there is not, please provide your Windows version and we'll check out...

jalyons,

Perhaps too obvious, but often overlooked, have you checked your speakers? I recently had to trash an audio card because the connector on the card went bad. Weirdly enough, the symptoms...

ndmalam,

logonui.exe is probably to blame. Use the command sfc /scannow from the Windows Command Prompt to restore XPs system files. Once complete, run the Windows Update.

palomo,

You're welcome.

As for:
You need to direct this question to the DaniWeb IT Community > Tech Talk > Microsoft Windows > Viruses, Spyware & other Nasties.

bwjones,

The drivers you are using are MS Windows Plug & Play drivers; essentially generic versions. I recommend going to the OEM's website for each hardware device (video adapter, network card,...

lohanso,

I hate to be Mr. Obvious here, but ME boots, XP Home boots, but XP Pro won’t boot. Therefore, you probably have a bad copy of the XP Pro install disks. You should make new disks (I don’t...

palomo,

Yes. I have 3 computers. Their fans run constantly.

Yes. Although you may not be using the hard drive, the OS is. I guess there is a slight chance your computer has turned into a...

srw868,

Try one of two:

1. With the Windows CD, boot the computer into the Windows Setup and choose "R" to arrive at the recovery console. Once there, type: sfc /scannow.

2. Again, you'll...

Here's a start...

MrScruff,

Yes, and it should be an easy fix. Windows cannot find all the necessary files for Windows to start properly. You'll need to replace them with the Windows CD. Following, are directions...

lifesart,

Sorry about that. I didn't think you would have to pay. The solution I found was provided in one of the forum posts in the link I sent you. As far as a solution, try this:

Joe2,

Are you able to provide the website? I can perhaps check to see if I'm able to download the videos. If not, which browser are you using, and what comes up with you left click on the link; a...

BigBlackKat,

I had no idea it cost that much. But great you found a replacement.

kmpd,

Do you have a firewall (which one), do you have realplayer? Do you get the error if you boot the computer into safemode?

BigBlackKat,

I was looking into your exact issue at my job. However, we have secured computers, therefore, we can't run any files with exe extensions. Had I been able, I would have used WinBatch:...
