Sounds like your computer could use some help, maybe you can convince your dad to at least have a look at this site. Who knows, maybe he'll join!

A new thread was started for some reason, here's the original: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/showthread.php?p=52616#post52616[/url]

Check this thread and read Catwaezle's article (link to it in his post): [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread10773.html[/url] Maybe something there can help.

See if there's anything in this thread that helps: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread10621.html[/url]

[QUOTE=sealracer]Mr Dani oh Dani where are you? Ok heres the dilly-o: Msn messenger has a feature that lets you start a program in it. Among these programs are a bunch of explicit ones that I want to get rid of. I tried reinstalling, but it didnt work. What do I …

There could be many things, but the first thing that comes to my mind is, is there a [B]Shared Folder[/B] on each of the systems that are trying to see each other? The folder also needs to have at least one file in it.

If you have corrupt files, before you go through the trouble of reinstalling XP, try In-Place Upgrade, instructions are at this link: [url]http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...1&Product=winxp[/url] (You need to have the XP CD) You can get a free virus online scan from trendmicro: [url]http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp[/url] LOL :lol: all three of us!

There are two people posting questions in this thread, Whatever_b1188 and sprinter18, sprinter18 needs to start his own thread so this one can concentrate on Whatever.

Dr., check out the links in the posts to this thread, hopefully you will find something to help. Good luck!

Keep in mind that this is only a temporary solution, you'll be lucky if you get it to boot even once, so be ready to backup as quickly as possible.

You can learn about networking here: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum86.html[/url] After you review that topic, if you haven't figured out the problem, perhaps you can post with a bit more helpful information.

Review this thread before deciding whether or not to upgrade to SP2: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread10031.html[/url] On the hjt log you can start by deleting all the red.clientapps and all items that end in (no file). Post a new log after you follow the advice in the previous posts.

First off, I'd like to mention that I'm new to this so I'm not sure if I'm posting correctly. Please advise me if not. The OS is WinXP Home, SP1 The make and model is Dell, Dimension 4400, P4-1.6G, 384mb RAM Browser is IE, v6 Started having problems after installing …

Hey everyone, there's a sticky thread dedicated to G-mail in the Geek's Lounge.

Hi there, you found my thread :). That fix worked perfectly for me, I had the problem for over a month but it hasn't been back since fixed with reglite. First of all, did you rename the folder back to "Windows" and restart the computer? If so, and it didn't …

Before deciding whether or not to upgrade to SP2, review this thread: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread10031.html[/url] You should try to make sure you don't have any viruses or spyware before upgrading to SP2. After you move hjt to a permanent folder, you can also delete the red.clientapps. Rescan and post.

Sorry to tell you this, but you are still running it from a temp folder (and apparently you have several copies of it there). Repeating Crunchies instructions for creating a folder, here's what you need to do: Open (double-click) My Computer, and then open the [B]C:[/B] drive (again, double-click). In …

Did you install the motherboard drivers and set the BIOS to auto-detect your drives?

Run Spybot and Adaware first. In addition to what Killer suggested, all the red.clientapps should be deleted. Scan again and post a new log for one of the guru's to review. Your friend might also want to install SpyWare Blaster to help prevent further infections.

A lot of people have it, I have it on one computer; was there something specific you wanted to know? Check out this thread for more info on it: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread10031.html[/url] Are you saying you tried to download it and only got part of it?

[QUOTE=Mike Feury] You won't need a converter, Access 2002/3 can open and save Acsess 2000 files.[/QUOTE] Either you got this part mixed up or I'm confused. I think Satch is asking for a converter so the upgrade isn't necessary (continue using 2000, but be able to open 2002 files). And …

Here's a couple more suggestions: Click on Start, point to Programs, point to Startup; if there are any programs listed there that you do not want to open everytime you start the computer, delete them (from Startup only, not the actual program!). Click on Start, point to Settings, and then …

Double check to make sure your BIOS is set to boot from the floppy first.

Download Ad-Aware from here: [url]http://www.download.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=adaware&tg=dl-2001[/url] And Spybot - Search and Destroy from here: [url]http://www.download.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=spybot&tg=dl-2001[/url] If you're using WinXP, create a restore point before proceeding. Run both of these programs and allow them to fix whatever they find. Then download and run hijack this from one of these links: [url]http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html[/url] [url]http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe[/url] …

Is this a recent problem or have you been having it since you've had the computer?

I'm just curious, is it possible spybot caused this? If not, any idea what did?

Need some basic info first, like what operating system, how much RAM, and CPU type. If you're using a Windows OS, you can right-click on the My Computer icon, and then click on Properties, to get this information. The CPU will probably be listed as x86 Family... or something like …

I agree that Norton's instructions are a bit hard to follow, and they won't completely eliminate the problem either, but they will start the process; what is it your having trouble with in Norton's instructions? Someone else will have to review your HJT log, but I didn't notice the version …

Something else that may help is to disable, or set to start manually, services that you don't need running all the time (usually things like ipod, itunes, quick time, etc.). To get there, go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Also, update your HJT before you post another log.

Try this thread: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/showthread.php?t=8508[/url] It took awhile, but finally got it cleared up! Follow the steps I did, including posting HJT logs because you may have more problems than you are aware of.

Has that person upgraded to SP2? That is one of the many problems with SP2, check out this link: [url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=884130&product=windowsxpsp2[/url] If he hasn't done that, you need to wait to see if someone else can help because I don't know what else it could be.

I don't know what the difference is, but I read that SP2 for XP Pro won't be available till later this month; SP2 for XP Home is available, but only if your computer is set up for auto updates.

This should have been put in the Security forum, but someone will move it there for you soon. In the meantime, do a search here for bookmarker.gen and start using some of the things suggested in those threads (like adaware, spybot, etc.).

I just noticed yesterday that my Windows XP Firewall is no longer enabled. It always has been so I don't know when, or how, it got disabled. When I go to Network Connections -- Properties -- Advanced, the Internet Connection Firewall is unchecked; when I try to check it, I …

One more suggestion, make sure your IE patches are up to date using Windows Update, especially if you reinstall it.
