can you get into safe mode ,hitting f8 on boot up and chose safe mode with networking ,and run a online virus scan like this one .
Trend-Micro

a trojan /virus

I have been reading through some google search results and as soon as you get to the desktop quickly double click on the clock and roll back a few hrs ,this will give you a chance to run you antivirus program ,and may i suggest this scan also .
================

try the simple things first !
seems to me that chkdsk /r is pretty simple

also call isp,or most places where you put in a password have an option "forgot you password click here " and you email and they email the password it to you

I deleted some folders from desktop and can not find.

I do not remember this happening but a few days ago I put 2 folders on my desk top and must have deleted them and then sent to recycle bin and deleted from there I am very good at not doing that and again do not remember doing that.

Giving that ,is it possible you dreamed you actuall had the folders on the desktop !lol
just kidding ,but if you don't remember deleting how can you say you then emptied the recycle bin! if 2 programs don't find them in recycle bin but fine file reference to the last 5 years its possible you didn't actually delete these folders to the bin ! so where are they ,not sure ,do you have more that one user ,like 2 and the files were saved on the other users desktop !nut i know
check this path to have a look, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

Ethernet adsl modem connected to my pc. now i want to share my internet using proxy. is it possible to have 2 pci lan cards on one pc, so that i could connect one to the Ethernet modem and the other for LAN (to the second pc) and enable proxy and share the same internet line.

it sure is ,but why not just buy a router ,

don't bump here ,kinda quiet anyway ,I see thatthe board was made in 2007 ,so im sure they came out with a better one to replace it by now ,but im not the one to say what it was .have a look around google ,www.tomshardware.com is a good place to start for mb info,go to articles on the top toolbar

Mine should be here in about a week, I can't wait to try it!!

you'll like it,mine works great

as you say ,a dying mother board that finally died ! sounds like it to me

i have the malwarebytes ,startuplite tool now on my computer and few others i have in my possession and it works really good for disabling unnecessary startup programs ,a link to it in my signature, You may have a startup program using the cpu you may not !

Thinking you are refering to the computer case as the cpu ,its impossible to find out whats in the box ,unless you open the box or install some software to give you the info ,Houdini Died in the 30's i think .
anyway here is sys info tool that you could use and it doesn't require a install just runs from the desktop.

this might help as this is the windows section of Daniweb ,maybe if you ask you question in the linux section link below .
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum12.html

not sure but assuming you are using IE as your browser ,go to tool/internet options /security/restricted sites /sites and remove the ones you want to go to if they are in there .

My hard drive D (Recovery only has 23.MB left and I keep getting a popup about it.

if im correct here you are saying that the d:\ is called recovery ,and you added file to it ,the d:\ recovery was there for you recovery CD that came with the comutrer, to use the d:\ recovery to take the computer back to original manufacture install! "day one" as it referred in the computer world

I'm a novice when comes to computer networking. I would like to know if there is any way I am able to change the tcp/ip setting as user. It has been disabled by the administrator. Thank you.

are you on a network at home or at a work network,if not them maybe malware/trojan has disabled it

I don't think I have the model # sticker on it either, someone gave it to me but it's old so I didn't use it. I'll double check on that though.
So my old computer(it ran sp2 with no problems) won't install sp2/3 on the hard drive so that I can transfer the hard drive to my new computer? It has no extra mem, only the one hard drive in it and everything is integrated(vid/sound).
That is what I did I just clicked yes on them but wasn't sure if that would affect it haha. Thanks for clearing that up though.

you are losing me,what do you actually mean by this [So my old computer(it ran sp2 with no problems) won't install sp2/3 on the hard drive so that I can transfer the hard drive to my new computer? ] ,

.what im saying is if you install winxp on a hardrive in one computer it will not bootup if you put it in a different computer because of the different hardware in the 2nd computers .

I just wanted to know that when we upgrade windows to the latest version of windows,
example WinXP to WinVista, then is the program folder and documents and settings folder
also effected or only the windows folder is changed?

I hope my question is clear

Regards,

documents and other stuff will be ok as long as the upgrade goes ok,, if you do a upgrade ,and not a format and fresh full install

Going with the Intel Skulltrail board. I do have an old case I was thinking of cannibalizing partially for the inside, and then just drilling holes where needed, but would still feel better knowing all the hole alignments needed before my mobo arrives.

sorry ,me no know ! good luck

hi ,try this recover program ,worked for me
http://www.recuva.com/

I don't have another vid card sitting around, the only one I do have I don't have the serial number for. would I be able to take my old computer and connect my hard drive to that, install sp2/3 and then just connect it to my new setup and then install my drivers for my motherboard/vid card?
Also when I had sp1 on there and installed my vid card an error came up saying that it isn't certified or had a logo or something. would that affect this at all?

thank you.

video card =shouldn't need the s/n ,just the model #

you old computer most like will not boot to the drive to do what you say .
don't worry about certified or logo go say yes !!!

Sorry but I went to My Computer and ran my mouse across the C: and it says: 53.6 GB and Total Size: 76.3 GB
I had Malwarebytes already and attaching the file.

Thanks,
Vegasgal

hi its much easier[for me lol] if you just copy and paste a log into you new post .
log looks like you didn't follow the instruction and click show results and remove selected

not even close,,but you and i sound a lot alike !lol
talking about my life ,not a stupit computer ,bwta is just not worth the bother for the average user ,sorry !!!

Thanks!, I think I will be enjoying both Windows and Ubuntu in a short while....

hi, what i suggest is what i do, i have live linux on cd and dvd ,don't install on harddrive just runs fro mthe cd and your ram .
i use this one, http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html , plus i have Puppy Linux and one other that i just got but forget the name , Puppy Linux is neat for the novice ,and i have it on multisesion dvd and cd disks,done that a few years ago . ,where it will actually write back to the dvd/cd anything i do when using it ,like addedd favorites or things i download.have to admit though i rarely use linux ,just to trouble shhot a non working windos OS
http://www.puppylinux.org/

i would also like to mention that the people of malwarebytes have a nice program call startUpLite ,nice little program to disable unnecessary programs at start up .
in this link
http://www.malwarebytes.org/startuplite.php

I forgot to note, My CPU usage stats were while in use. Everybody knows there's a difference between a Firefox window that's sitting a one that you're doing something in, but I like to be as clear as I can, especially when I'm making such assured statements.

interesting, and well put ,thanks

static is only default with business packages and I'm not even sure if you can add it on to a residential package.

you are correct ,but i think my provider will for me if im willing to pay the extra money ,but i could be wrong .

any chance the board has onboard video ,if yes try installing winxp with out the pci-e card installed

also i do believe win98 will have a lot of issues with the new technology of the duel core cpu,

Hi, ; would it also affect the ubuntu/linux drive?:)

quick answer is no ,unless you direct the restore to the wrong drive, when asked !!!

im trying to install my western digital hard drive on windows 2000

and you think we can guess what model drive it is and tell you what drivers to install ,lol
if you need any at all , just plug it in and what happens ,does it look for drives ,if yes ,you should have gotten a disk with the drive ,if no disk go to WD's web site and download the correct drivers ,

you have xp install now so download xp drivers .

and unless you have dynamic ip from comcast it won't change .
a quote from the site in the lower link .
====
When someone manually configures a computer to use the same IP address each time it powers up, this is known as a Static IP address. In contrast, in situations when the computer's IP address is assigned automatically, it is known as a Dynamic IP address.

i use white eraser and have never had a problem

i use ccleaner ,seems to work ok, but will download FixRegestry and compare the 2

thanks BOB what u said iv'e tried it already but i dont have repair option on my menu. its only C 4 prt-tion and ENTER to continue installation. can anybody out there help me. by the way m using XP sp2 thanx

google search results

Yes it is still in the testing stage, it is made available to people that are willing to try it and allow then to find any bugs in the program. Without people trying programs like this, it would take a lot longer to bring it to the market.

Yes, you could end up with problems on your PC but in my humble opinion, it is worth the risk.

sorry i cant agree ,spend to much time fixing problems from stuff like sp2 and sp3 beta when people install them,Oh yeah and there was another one called IE7 ,lol
and many other free beta people try like burning software ect ect

your welcome and boy does it work great

windows keeps telling me to activate it!!!!,Activate Wht you say ,
Windows , figure that one out !!! some did a windows repair install!!?????????????/

Alright I have a big problem with my gateway laptop, I'm posting this from my PC. Here is my problem, it wont let me connect to the internet with the wireless connection and it seems like my wireless connection in my whole house is down due to this one computer. Its up and running but no computers can connect to it. The laptop also can not connect to the internet using a cable from a internet jack. No clue on how to fix this. I've done everything I think is possible, please help!

everything ,if all computers cant connect to the wireless then it must be the wirless router ,did you unplug it for a few minutes and then replug it back in ,
did you reset it to factory setting by pushing the button on the back with a small pin!

Also is there anyway to reinstall windows complete without using a disk? I do not have one.

No

and then... when right click/properties..
0 bytes used
0 bytes free..

what happens when you try to copy file to this one .

and another.. when i try to format...
it says there is no disk in the drive..
pls insert and try again...

go to disk manager and see if shows there ,and maybe try the format there .

put this into run in start ,compmgmt.msc ,it will open computer management .in left pane got to disk management

hi ,im gonna post some info from the other help fourm that says it all , your problem will be fixed when you buy a copy of winxp and reinstall it ,,your problem will not be fixed by switching help forms after you get pissed off one other help forum .

Re: Really Emergency!
You've pretty much, with the post above, burned all your bridges. We all know you're frustrated, but taking it out on people who are trying to take time out of their day to try and help you, FOR NOTHING IN RETURN BUT YOUR THANKS, will pretty much get everyone to stop helping REAL FAST.

So, I would say that if you don't care about your Ubuntu partition at all, and just want Windows back, that you follow the directions above to put your Windows XP disc in, and press R to recover Windows. Running "fixmbr" takes Ubuntu completely out of the equation and puts windows back in charge of booting your computer, so that there will be no more grub at all, no menu.lst to mess with, no booting into ubuntu, nothing. Just put the Windows disc in, and tell it to repair the existing windows installation, or go into the Recovery Console and fixmbr.

There are a number of Windows resources to help you with the XP recovery process, but ubuntuforums.org isn't one of them.
