(Sounds like a good time to reformat to me)
;)

:o Back to the OP's problem...

Would it show up in the Add/Remove programs, perhaps?

Yes indeed. On the top of the page, click 'Control Panel', and under 'Subscribed Threads,' it will list all the threads that have been responded to.

Oh, and nice avatar. :)

Sorry we couldn't help.

But I'm happy ya got it all figured out. :)

If that doesn't work, try this.

Open Start>Run.

Type in appwiz.cpl

What comes up?

Hmmm, have you tried accessing them with the AV/Firewall off?

I think this might be it, because the McAfee updates usually always work when theres an internet connection.

First off, I would ask you to please not 'piggyback' your post on to others'.

Let's try a Google search of Messenger Error Code 1604.

Here's a question for ya.

When you go to Add/Remove Programs, how many different Javas are found? Be sure to uninstall the older programs.

Also, be sure the latest Java is installed.

Search of Download.com (http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?qt=.mov+converter&tag=srch&tg=dl-2001)

Monica-

Have you tried opening WMM and importing the video from there, instead of double clicking on the file? It should open.

Secondly, see if you can get the video recorder to record in a...

Let's try this.

Again, wrong spot.

To tell you the truth, you will be MUCH more safer with Firefox, regardless of Ad-watch.



Well to tell the truth, the best thing is using common sense when browsing. No clicking on popups, no...

Good find Jado!

I've been watching this thread, not understanding the problem till now. :)

Post away, just keep them at a reasonable size.



Very true. Have you tried reinstalling IE7?

What browser are you curently running?

The problem has to do with how your computer allows cookies, ActiveX and the such.

I would try again using Firefox.

I would definitely do so.

Does it stay like this after a reboot?

Well I'm pretty sure that would work too--as SP2 can be downloaded online.

So you really have an old XP disc? If so, that's what I'd do...

Have you tried System Restore?

Twoyorkie, to tell ya the truth, I'm suprised the computer store did not already reformatt the computer.

Do you happen to have your current XP discs? Because if so, I would definitely recommmend...

Nooo, thank you!

I love questions like this. :mrgreen:

Thanks again for the rep, and I hope ya stay around here more.

Completely agreed with Xpenetrator.

The short answer is yes for several reasons.

1) The absolutely critical patches (aka 0-day patches) patch vulnerabilities that normal anti-viruses/firewalls...

First, please don't include the ENTIRE post in font.

TheNSS is completely right. Joey., why would you want to know his serial number, other then for illegal reasons?

bh99mh, please do not post your serial number.

Thanks.

Chris-

Several things.

Just because you selected all hidden folders doesn't mean all the folders. Did you also select system folders?

What takes up much of the room on your hard drive is...

You've tried restarting, right?

Secontly, have you tried using System Restore?

caperjack, you've hit the nail on the head. ;)

Don't bump your thread.

Have you even tried research? If so, you'd find this (http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm) website among the top 3 of Google.

Have you run any virus scans recently?

If not, run several scans:

CCleaner
Ewido
Panda Activescan Online

All are free, and Ewido & CCleaner need to be installed.

I think its part of Norton, but I'm not positive about that.

However, if it's part of Norton, and you've already uninstalled it, I see no reason why you can't just delete it. :)

Thanks.

Fran, that's very helpful and good to know! :)

Out of curiosity, how much did it end up being?

Lastly, cant help ya with the man in Australia.

Heh, in my experience, your out of luck ;)

Take a look at this article and post a HJT log. Somebody heere will take a look at it.
