most likely the drive

hi,try removing the battery,just use the power cord,happens to mine sometimes if the battery is stone dead

I have the xp cd but my cd-rom is not being detected. i suspect the play of virus here so i want to format the entire pc. but how do i format it???

when you go to mycomputer and click on the cdrom icon does it open the windows cd, if yes ,then make sure that boot to cdrom is set as first boot in the bios.

yes sp3 is safe to load ,Try changing the auto updateds setting to something else! or if you have IE installed ,just open IE and go tools and windows updates

i tried CCleaner, it seems like a good free software, however, it didnt work, i finally used restore point utility of windows xp, and restored the system to yesterday, it worked.

if you had deleted the programs folder from the c:\program files folder ,ccleaner would /should have cleaned it from the registry !

this is good one !

I wonder...I have an old IE5 disk. I think I might try uninstalling and reinstalling the older versino

wonder! might help,but i think its the patch update that will affect it not the ie version

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314063&sd=RMVP

remove all PCI addin cards ,like nic card and modem or sound ,and if you have video card ,and also have onboard video .remove the video card and use the onboard ,and try the install again

you can remove it by avg or macfee.

dxdiag does have some general system specs in it like cpu speed, driver versions, hw versions etc..

lol, so it dose right on the first page,just basic info found elsewhere! ,i just read the top categories,i stand corrected !

lol.... thanks for sharing anyways...

LOL ! your welcome!
not everyone has an opinion i guess!
I personally am not a gamer so i would have no idea!
maybe better ? asked on a gamer help forum!

You can find it out in you bios, or Dxdiag if everything is working... hope it helps...

you hope what helps ! nothing in your post that hasn't already been said,and what the heck does directx have to do with duel core cpu's

Will be fine for data, just dont try and install windows on it, it wont like it.

A laptop HDD in an enclosure will be smaller and (may) not require external power.

agree !
my laptop harddrive case has 2 usb plugs one for data one for power! i paid 25$ cdn for enclosure and picked up a 40gig hdd for free !

i use a 40 GIG LAPTOP DRIVE IN A usb EXTERNAL CASE all the time to carry files/programs ,and in my opinion are more reliable than my thumbdrive i have had over time!

hi,i might be missing something but! just copy info to the drive and never format the drive,cant see why that wouldn't work.

try takeing the bios battery out and see how it goes sometimes the bios battery is low and causes it not to load up propply.

good advise ,and after 4 yrs ,the battery is likely dead by now

Look inside the tower and check all connections. .

its a laptop

according to Toshiba ,a white screen is a dead screen

May be there is some temporary files, list of folders that may contain temp files:
1. C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Temp
2. C:\Windows\Temp
3. C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
4. C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Recent\
If these folders are hidden and you can't see then type addresses to address bar

the cleaner i posted in my first post will empty all temp folders

how about system restore file ,they could add up over time

start with Free and safe ATF cleaner to remove all temp files on the hdd.should help retrieve some of the used space as most of us have lots of temp files lying around

over 3.5 million downloads ,it don't need a review !
maybe you should load on some of the nastier trojans out there, ,run scan and get it to fix you computer and then you will have something to add to your review , i ran scan it found 1725 error i ran ccleaner reg scan it found 25,if i my test computer running i would have let it fix them just to see what would happen!
I can say with almost 100% certainty that this or any registry program would not have helped me fix[avoid formatting] the 50 or so computer that i have to format in the past year

Have you noticed that the original poster hasn't been back to this thread?

yes and so many other post suffer the same faith !i reply to 8 or 10 post some times and only 2or 3 come back!main reason is they are posting there ? on a dozen forums and take the first answer they get !

im leaving forum for a [3or4]few hrs ,

There are no yellow exclamation marks in Device manager and under Network Devices I have :
1 1394 Netadapter
2 intel R 82566 DC GB Network connection
Not sure what make and model is as this is a friends pc who had it built about 3 years ago.

,the 1394 is a firewire net conector of sorts check answer here [The simple answer is

A 1394 Net Adaptor ...
The simple answer is

A 1394 Net Adaptor Connection is basically Win2k/XP's way of telling you that you have a Firewire interface installed in your system.

IEEE 1394 is more commonly known as Firewire and is mostly used to connect to peripherals such as digital cameras, camcorders and some external hard drives. It can also be used to network two Firewire-equipped systems together, achieving 12.5 to 50MBps transfer speeds. Firewire networking use is limited because of its 15ft cable length limitation.]

and the intel R82566 is the wired onboard device ,as hughv said neither are wireless devices

scan with hijackthis and post the log ,
also ,what size cpu and how much ram do you have

new network card maybe!!!

Ya, the motherboard supports PATA. And you think I'll still be able to access all my files as normal & such? And again, thanks for taking the time to respond.

hi, if you have password protection on your computer remove it now before the move ,to avoid problems retrieving files

you could try this ,it may or may not help!!

Gaining access to your old data depends on which version of XP you are on.
It is easier if you are running XP Pro, but can be done in XP Home also.
No need to reinvent the wheel, so we'll use the Resolution info on this Microsoft page.

I managed to get hold of one exact make and modelm and firm ware version but site code in different WU instead of SU. Will it match?

a little how to use it here .
http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-9855787-12.html

when using the registry cleaning part make sure to say yes to backup registry the first time ,also make sure to scan it 2-4 time or until it finds no more problems

hi,you are missing the middle of the log ,the important part with all the running programs,try another scan or make sure you copied all the log.
please explain the 2 drives ,C:\ and F:\ ,with programs installed on both drives ,and running 2 antiviral programs !!

download hijackthis and do a scan with log ,post the log here

Address where i can get controller board for Seagate SATA

ebay.com ,maybe .
if you do find one it will have to be the exact make and model,and firm ware version as the drive you have .

attachments are so small ,i still only see cpu usage and page file usage in yours, looks just like my single core ,did you check device manager and see if it showed 2 processors there .

Yours is definitely running only one of the cores. Are you certain you have the cpu you think you have?
Right click on My Computer and select Properties and it should tell you what cpu you have.

and go one farther and go into device manager and check processor ,if 2 show in list you have 2 ,i think ,read 2 different definitions ,one say duel core and one said it meant hyper threading was set !

Caperjack, sounds like BelarcAdvisor is what you want. It details the hardware and software in a system. And it's FREE.

been using it for years , i want is a program that diagnoses all hardware problems,like motherboard and stuff ,but when i write that it makes me thing i have ram testing program and a bunch of hdd diagnostic tools ,and ,oh forget it i got what i need LOL,!

That is exactly what I was looking for! And I had been to Chaintech's site with no luck - MANY thanks, caperjack!

your welcome ,i searched and found the link in a forum like this one ,glad it was what you were looking for ,good luck

could be ram issue. try memtest86 ,if you have a burner download iso for windows here [ http://www.memtest86.com/download.html ]the first one in the list

What's your budget? I'd expect most such products that work over the network will be commercial, that is, $$$ products.

I use Belarc Advisor for personal purposes. They make a network product, it's kinda pricey. http://www.belarc.com/belmanage.html

looks more like a management tool than a hardware diagnostic tool! ,been looking[from time to time ] for a good free one for years, for personal use,im not a it tech ,never found one yet
