 | Read the stickied topic "Helping Yourself" in the Security section of the forum for a more detailed discussion of dealing with spyware and other malware products and infestations. |
| | staycool72, it's not good practice to resurrect an old topic simply to react to a comment on page one of a multi-page discussion. If you'd read through you'd have found that the comment has already been refuted, and the refutation accepted long ago! You'd also have found that your own …  |
| | You should have controls on the monitor itself which would allow you to move the screen image back to where it should be. Either in a push-button menu system, or behind a drop-down cover (if it's an older monitor) Quite possibly someone has fiddled with it and moved the image … |
| | Your driver download site has been provided in your original topic. I'll close this one, to save confusion |
| | You have loaded Windows 98, but you haven't loaded any device drivers for your system. Windows 98 is simply using basic, generic device drivers to run your system with. Specifically you need motherboard drivers, audio drivers and display drivers for the system to operate as it should. If there's a … |
| | It's definitely a spyware/malware/virus/trojan related thing, I'd believe. You'll need to use more than spybot to dig out the culprit(s) |
| | Did you use <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Del> and 'end task' everything except systray and explorer before using Defrag? That's the only way to be certain you've shut everything down. Running defrag from 'Safe mode' is a good idea as well.  |
| | If you have problems on your system, and then do an upgrade install of a newer OS over the top of it, leaving your programs and data in place, you most likely won't fix things. It's more likely that you'll make the problems worse. Arguments about the quality of Windows …  |
| | Uninstall the program, ensure the CD is clean, and then reinstall it. See if that corrects the errors. |
| | Hi, We ask that topics not be duplicated in multiple sections of the forum, and as you've asked the same question in the Windows NT/2000/XP section, I'll close this thread and leave your question to be answered there: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread8156.html[/url] |
| | Check your system for any software which loads at startup, and in its Preferences/Options is set to 'Automatically check for updates". If the behaviour has only started recently, look for a program which was added just before it first started. |
| | What are you referring to when you say the 'Version 5 preview'? Where did you obtain it from?  |
| | Did you ensure that the drive configuraion jumper was correctly set? If it is a 'Slave' drive it should be attached to the middle connector of the drive data cable, and the jumper set to 'Slave'. If it's a 'Master' drive, the jumper should be set accordingly, and the drive … |
| | What processor do you have? You should have your RAM set to operate at the speed which will have it synchronised with your front side bus, to ensure best performance. And with modern display cards, AGP aperture size does not matter, because the cards have no need to access system … |
| | Read the thread linked in my sig. and the articles linked in that thread. They should tell you just about all you need to know! The articles relate to installing Windows 200, but the preparation is basically the same, the installation procedures are pretty mucch the same, and yes, you … |
| | Internet options -> General Press the 'Delete Files' button and allow the system to delete your 'Temporary Internet files'. You may or may not need to reboot, but clearing out your internet cache that way will usually restore your system's capability to save images as other than bitmaps. |
| | Yes, hold the power button in for a bit. There will most likely be a 4 second delay, and you'll hear it switch off when the time comes. |
| | |
 | That problem isn't impossible to overcome. If you're careful, you can change the mobo and keep your existing installation. [url]http://www.windowsreinstall.com/install/other/motherboard/win2k.htm[/url] There are a few methods there to read through. Just back up your data. |
| | Easiest way is to grab a PC magazine and install it from the cover CD! |
| | Re: defrag problem I'm not sure of the answer to your question - I've not heard of that happening before, and perhaps someone else might provide an answer to it. But I can tell you this! The absolute best way to use Defrag is to press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Del> together to … |
| | Did you read the Windows XP services section of the site Caperjack listed? Black Viper's website contains about the best services guide to be found! |
| | Re: .dll lost Hi, You'll find many questions and answers relating to 'bridge.dll' errors in the 'Security' section of this forum. Follow the advice in the "Helping Yourself' topic for spyware/malware detection and removal, then post your question in that forum section if you have remaining problems please. I would strongly suspect that … |
| | Add/Remove programs, then 'Set program Access and defaults' <ake sure that you have the browser of choice configured as your 'Default' browser, and reboot to ensure the change has taken effect.  |
| | If you're stuck with dial up, then you owe it to yourself to get a decent, external V92 modem. Beats the hell out of any crappy internal modem, with a more stable connection and usually marginally better connections speeds. |
| | Start in Safe mode, uninstall your display card, reboot and reinstall it. If that doesn;t work try again, only next time reinstall your motherboard drivers and then your display card. |
| | It's already doing 333MHz. It's [b]D[/b]ual [b]D[/b]ata [b]R[/b]ate memory. Times that 166 by 2 and see what you get ;) |
| | Installing Google Toolbar is the quickest and easiest way to block pop-ups for IE. But the ones you're getting sounds like they're coming from something installed on your system. Make sure AdAware and Spybot are the latest versions and updated, and run them from 'Safe Mode' |
| | What web browser do you use. It sounds like your security settings have been set too high to allow the movies to be viewed. |
| | Have you got that PC connected to Broadband by any chance? The connection 'live' while you're performing the format/install? Perhaps even a static ip? If that's the case, I'd consider rebooting the modem to get a new ip, or getting a new ip assigned. It sounds like you're a target … |
| | Now tell me Jimmy, please. Does this thing run on Windows XP? Damn, I hate sites that won't let you in to look! |
| | Perhaps you 'end-tasked' somthing you shouldn't have? I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would do things the way you've described. It sounds clumsy, potentially problemmatic, and rather silly. If you've unwanted or unecessary programs loading at startup, then use a combination of uninstalling programs, setting the … |
| | Please follow the solution offered in this topic: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread7507.html[/url] |
| | Re: Dell Windows XP I'm sorry, but your question is explicitly asking for assistance with a task which contravenes the license conditions for the product you are trying to install. What you are trying to do is illegal, and it would be wrong of us to allow discussion of it to continue. You should … |
| | [img]http://www.shell.linux.se/goblins/tursiops/gallery/laughing.jpg[/img] Sorry to add more laughter to the reaction, but that suggestion was one of the funnier things I've seen today! For goodness sake, don't disable everything in msconfig! Oh my! |
| | Hi nmumbach. Sorry to hear of your tale of woe. I've moved your topic to the 'Hardware' section to ensure that you get a reply to it. Transferring a hard drive to a new motherboard for a Windows NT based system is problemmatic at best, and you might just be … |
| | Here's a very good article on the differences between the two: [URL]http://aumha.org/win5/a/ntfs.php[/URL] |
| | Why were you trying to do a Refresh install? Was the system having crashes and stability problems? If so, have a look at the RAM installed in your system. Cheap 'n' nasty RAM can cause problems like this, and if you've recently added more RAM, you may end up needing … |
| | If you want a Windows 98/Windows XP dual boot, then install Windows 98 first. Loading earlier versions of Windows AFTER a Windows XP install is shaky at best, and I'm not surprised that it failed after a migration. Windows 98 should be on your C: partition, and the boot files … |
| | Yep, I'm also in the middle of a pretty serious case mod. Actually, it's a pretty serious overclock project as well! Sorry folks. My camera's kaput so no pics :( And yep! You should definitely paint that front panel, together with the bezels on those optical drives. Just use ordinary …  |
| | I'd have to agree with Jimmy, for sure! Reinstall your motherboard chipset drivers, then your other component drivers. That should fix anything which has been corrupted by the malware removal (or the programs which the malware removal has got rid of) If that doesn't work, try a format and fresh … |
 | Have you actually got the Service Pack2 Release Candidate or Beta version installed? Are you simply assuming that it's SP2 because some of the 'Hotfixes' which have been installed from Windows Update are marked (SP2)? If your system is actually Service Pack 1 plus recent updates, then you may not … |
 | [QUOTE=Arizona Web][B]no way! I'm not a gamer.[/B] Anyhoo, I only have one stick. I am going to try running AVG to see if I can get it to shut off.[/QUOTE] Then download and use 3DMark 2001 or 3DMark2003 in 'looping demo mode' to stress the system and show up any … |
| | Recent XP 2500s don't usually overclock as well as some of the earlier issues of the chip. If you're counting on running one at 200MHz front side bus you might just be in for a bit of disappointment! On the other hand, when looking at Athlon64 I think RAM compatibility … |
| | Read the motherboard manual again. Sounds like you have the front panel connectors attached wrongly. |
| | Yes, unregistered guest! Sign up as a member, log in, and start a topic in the 'Internet Explorer' Forum section outlining your problems. There are many helpful people here who will try to assist you! Cheers.  |
| | All of that is fine, as far as I can see. Both motherboards use the same chipset, so neither is 'better' than the other. Choose the one which has onboard features which suits your needs best. Oh, one thing! By mid-August I'd be expecting to fit a Radeon X800 series … |
| | Simply deleting things does not necessarily remove trace of them. Trojans generally make other system changes once they've gotten onto your system. For full removal information about Trojan.popdis, follow the instructions in this article: [url="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.popdis.html"]http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.popdis.html[/url] Moved to 'Security' section |
| | TKS is correct. the GeForce2 MX display card is a DirectX 7 card - it doesn't have Hardware Transorm & Lighting! But you should still be able to install DirectX8 or DirectX9, and run games. You will not be able to use all the features is all. Many games are … |
| | A TV tuner card should also function as an FM receiver, I'm not sure if specialised radio tuner cards are available. You need a decent set of 2.1 speakers for your PC, which will have a sub-woofer with the ampflifier built in. If you can't afford a set (they're fairly … |
The End.
