Interesting. but it didn't work for my file which is named "Windows One care backup". My WOC is about a year old, so I wonder if some changes were made, maybe due to complaints like ours.
My understanding of the problem is that the site itself can be prosecuted for promoting pirated, hacked software, especially Windows. I personally don't care all that much, but I've never seen such a blatant discussion of pirating and hacking on a legitimate site. "...oh yes you can !done it ,but I'm whispering that so no ones hears ,lol experiment purpose's only of course..." "...dodgy fckgw cd key...." "...pirated winxp,... Do we have any moderators? What do they say?
You don't need ICS with a router. Read bobbyraws's post about Control Panel and follow his directions, which will solve the problem, or at least give us the info we need to help.
Is the proper printer selected in the File/Print dialog? Can you uninstall the printer? Do so, if possible, then reinstall it. Use safe mode if necessary to remove the printer.
So, where are the moderators? Rules: Keep It Legal Keep it clean and do not post pornographic material or link to it. In addition, do not post anything warez related or related to other illegal acts. This includes tech support troubleshooting pirated software or P2P programs (i.e. Gnutella, Kazaa) used to obtain pirated software. Exceptions are helping to remove spyware or browser hijacks (that may or may not be related to illegal material) from a computer.

"while keep on for a whole night it can even distroy your electronic circuits in side..." I didn't know that. My computers stay on for weeks at a time without any problems.
It looks as though you've got the right drivers (Soft ModemAMR). How did you go about the install, and what were the results, especially error messages? I see the driver file has a setup.exe-did you use that?
What OS do you have now? Is this spyware affecting you in some way? I fond no reference to this file in Google, which maks me think it's not a big deal, or you've given a wrong file name. Not all computers will run Vista, and those that will may not run it well.
I was referring to your user. The Administrator account is part of XP, and I don't think it can be changed. Other accounts may have admin privileges, but they're not the Administrator account. I don't know this subject in depth, so there's something else to learn. I've created accounts using the method I described above. Create the account with custom shortcuts, etc. Copy the appropriate folder (Desktop, for instance) to the new account. You an test this by creating a dummy account and moving various folders into it.
This may help, but sometimes there's no helping the helpless. Create a new account (Danette1?). Move the relevant files in C:/Docs and settings/Danette to Danette1. Alternatively, just create the new account and re-create the settings.
I had this same problem, and it really pissed me off. Not only does WOC suck, but they're trying to tell me what I can and can't delete on my own computer! Anyhoo, the fix is a pain in the butt. See: http://forums.microsoft.com/Windowsonecare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=255393&SiteID=2 There is an easier way by the use of cacls

If you have a folder on the E drive called Windows OneCare and the folder in it called Backup 2005 has the files in it, then do this:
I think you mean "cycling". I have this image of a computer going 'round in circles like a dog lying down. This sort of thing could have several causes, like heat, power supply memory, etc, so give us more info.
Starting System Restore Tool from Command Prompt: 1. Start your computer to Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
NOTE: You must log on as the administrator or a user that has administrator rights. 2. At the command prompt, type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe, and then press ENTER. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen to begin restoring your computer to a previous, functional state.
You can't use Recovery Console "inside" Windows. Usually you would boot to an install CD and select the first repair option. "Fixboot" or Fixmbr" are likely to be what you need. It's likely that your boot.ini file is incorrect, and this probably happened when you did the "fresh install", or possibly during the virus scan. It would help to know what file is mentioned during the boot. Recovery console is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058
Sometimes it's awfully hard to help people. I appreciate your frustration, but if you're not going to supply the info we request, we can't be much help. Recovery console and a repair install are the standard ways to deal with this, but I can see you're enamored of your own method, so good luck to you.
Is this the regular internal drive or the one that goes in the bay? If you know this drive is good, and it's not detected, you need to double-check that it's installed properly. A loose IDE or power connection could cause this. Your install CD will format and partition the drive (XP).
You haven't answered either question: Why do you think you need a RAID driver? (I don't think you do). Have you looked for this drive in Computer Management? This is where you would partition and format it. Right-click My Computer/Manage/Disk Management Look for a new drive that's not partitioned and/or or formatted. Right-click to do both.
What's in boot.ini? That seems like an awfully time-consuming method to check for a virus. Did you try Safe Mode or System Restore? How about a repair install?
You really need to see this error message. In the past, I have done this by holding my finger over the "pause" key and pressing it quickly when the message appears. If it's really quick, you need to anticipate its appearance. This will work if you're patient enough. If you really don't know how to get the files off the computer before re-installing, or how to boot to a recovery scenario, you should probably abandon this project. I say this because it's her boss's computer, and the result of a loss of data could have dire consequences.
That's a Norton System Works file. My guess is the program hasn't been installed properly since the System restore. Try re-installing it. I really don't like System Works at all, so my second suggestion is to just uninstall it and Use AVG Free. You may need the Norton removal tool for this, and you can find it with a quick Google search.
Set up a network (Network setup Wizard). Be sure to enable file and printer sharing on both. On the laptop, use the Add Printer wizard to set up a network printer.
Is this printer connected to a computer? If so, you must enable file and printer sharing on that machine and the laptop. Use the "Add printer" dialog to add a networked printer. If it's not connected to a computer, you'll need some kind of wireless print server.
This sounds like some kind of spyware scam. A link to "update my registry" is very suspicious. Try booting on Safe mode. System Restore may help, and a Hijack this log file may be in order.
It sounds as though the Hard drive is not being found. This could be due to a failure, a loose connection, or a bad boot setting. (In the BIOS, make sure it's set to boot from the HD). In some laptops, this is a fairly easy repair-just open the HD slot and check the connections, or replace the drive. If you have a Boot CD, like a Windows install disk or a Linux disk, you could check to see if all else works. Not knowing your computer Make/Model or your level of expertise, I can't tell you much more.
I'm not sure what you're seeing-Does the image fill the entire screen, or is there a border between the image and the screen? Have you checked to see if the video driver is installed? Have you looked for an uodated driver?
