Hey Guys!

I have recently run into trouble with the Display Adaptors on my PC. I currently use a HP Pavilion w5130in PC with the following configuration:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00395266&cc=in&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_INEN

I have made the following changes to the system about two years ago:

1. Installed a 1*1 GB SD DDR RAM (Go ahead, fill yourself with a hearty laugh!)
2. Installed a nVidia 8600 GT Video RAM (PCI Slot)

The Trouble:

I ran into trouble when the Display suddenly stopped working. I connected the VGA Cable to the Onboard Graphics Card and voila it started working. I then checked Device Manager only to find my nVidia Card Missing in Action. A search for Hardware Changes wouldn't change anything. So i updated the Motherboard Drivers and the Onboard GC Drivers. On restarting the computer it popped up with the Found New Hardware Wizard and I installed the nVidia GC and it worked. I though what a Genius I was and almost immediately the thought got back at me. I had to shut down the computer due to a power failure, and when I tried to restart the computer - I was back to square one.

I repeated the process and it worked again. But a couple of times later, it corrupted the Video dll in System32 folder. I had to reinstall the OS from the Driver DVD's. I fixed the trouble again by updating the Drivers and then installing my nVidia …

Cannot Access Control Panel

Hi,

I am back with a problem as I promised!!

I recently reinstalled my computer and hence I was stuck with the awesomely annoying and non functional Symantec's Norton Antivirus and Internet Security. I forgot to get rid of it and install a program that works. Later last night I realized that my computer was acting funny - the control panel does open up instead an error message does telling me I do not have enough privileges! Hell, I am the Administrator! The same was the result when I tried to access 'regedit', 'msconfig' and 'firewall.cpl' . I also noticed these three processes - khatra.exe, gHost.exe and Xplorer.exe

The first thing I did was install MBAM and on scanning it, the result was of course a list of trojans and tracking cookies. I selected all and deleted them. On restart I was able to access registry.

I then hunted my registry and deleted anything pertaining to those three keywords. Then I ran the Panda Online Scan, looked at the results and then manually deleted the infected files. Most of them were '.cab' files stored in 'Windows' and 'System32' . I cleared all of them out.

I then installed AVG and scanned, the scan shows that there are no infections but I am not able to access control panel still. Also when I have AVG installed I cannot access the internet. Updating of Virus definition or MABM update was not possible as well.

Please advice. …

Problem with System Clock

Hi,

Ran into a little problem here. Whenever I restart my computer the date cycles back to May 14 2004 and time to 0001 Hrs. I have no idea why this happens probably because my system is possessed. Any ideas?

Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Problem with Task Manager

Hi,

I was deleting some processes as they were eating up the CPU usage when accidentally I clicked on something and lost the Menu bar to the Task Manager. Can anyone help me to get that back.

The screen shot is attached.

Thanks.

Re: Unable to Install Updates

I was unable to uninstall One Care Live as the files and the uninstaller are missing.

I performed the steps, but I am having the same problem. As far as the IP addresses are considered, I am not from New Delhi but the addresses match the addresses on my Router page :0

=============================================

I would like to know what a DNS hijack is. Thank you.

Re: Unable to install Antivirus program

Yep. I have. It started functioning but now I've run into a new problem apart from not being able to Update and Browse with Antivirus solution turned on. I cannot use Firefox or Chrome. But I can use IE, which I hate.

What do you say?
