props to gerbil for actually trying to help, it was my video card that was stuffed, i just threw it out. But a big "fuck you" to Caperjack! He was quick to get on there and talk shit, there was no need to reply if you werent actually going to help anyway. So, in summary, thanks gerbil for trying to help and fuck you caperjack, you fat fucking nerd. Cheers

lol,

If anyone cares to buy it will sell it for cheap or trade for some parts.

I got a old working 486 computer with win95 i'll give you for it ,lol

You cant blame it on Asus if you didn't do your homework ,cant expect them to take a old board in on trade they are not a New Car dealer ,lol
you should have run the vista compatibility test first .

but = put

but in the winxp cd and boot to it and hit "R" to go to recovery console and type in,
chkdsk /r

I did an overhaul on my computer and saved my documents on to a disk because I just sent my jump drive through the washer machine.

Thinking my documents would be fine I restored the computer deleting everything on it.

To my surprise all my documents were still there. A couple weeks later I go to open my pictures to grab a picture and it gives me an error message I've seen before, only in a folder that I didn't need as much as My Pictures.

"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures is not accessible

Access is Denied"

So I began researching it and haven't found a damn thing that can help.

So am I up chocolate river without a Popsicle stick and my pictures are gone... or can it be saved?

Please help... I'm desperate.

so why not just use the disk you copied your my documents to .the my documents folder contains the picture folder as well ,as long as you copied it right, and not just the shortcut on the desktop .

hd is hard drive
but since then I did get is started but I have to reload the cmos since I must have wiped it out and once i had the power on it blanked out on me

nancoke

it getting late and you are still loosing me,DH stands for a hard drive ?
and you had to reload the bios .?do you me you had to reflash it, or just reset to defaults .
are the abcd lights all green

I recommended trying each stick of RAM in first response. Why didn't you try that instead of asking more questions?

looking for easier solution!!!

if it were mine i would download ccleaner and clean out windows of un-necessary files and also use the registry cleaner as well ,might just be a mixup in the registry .
soor you will have to check back here as i do not email out help ,sorry .
www.ccleaner.com.

link shows how to enter the bios ,do see where it shows how to unlock it .

maybe on of these links will have the answer .

Why are the icons in My computer all nearly alike now?

All of them (except the folders) now look like little blue pieces of paper with a very tiny little picture of the icon that used to be there inside.

Im still trying to figure out what file icon you are talking about ,you say in my computer ,do you mean when you open MYComputer ,or just in general, in my computer !anywhere on the hardrive you look .if its what it think, then you may have install a new program that took over as the main program to use to open these file types .instead of maybe a few different programs that once did it ,therefor using many different icons .make sense!

I tried the microsoft forum. They are out of steam. I tried Telecom network experts, no go, so I hope you guys can kick some ass. To see what microsoft said you are welcome to visit http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...d-c56105703f5f

link not working.

ok,maybe just maybe ,this could be a problem with the router settings ,
also has it been mentioned to go to Start, Run,cmd, type
in IPCONFIG /release and then renew
http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/windowsnetworkin1/ht/renewipaddrwxp.htm

I replaced DH with a new one and it worked for a little while

ok,it early and it won't come to me ,you will have to tell me what is DH

the network card itself is faulty then , maybe

i have one,make sure drivers are installed for nic card ,right click on mycomputer /properties /hardware /device manager /network adapters ,make sure there are now red or yellow .! or x ,

We are here for FREE to help people fix there own computer ,the fact you know nothing about computers inside or out ,makes it hard for someone to help you ,i suggest you take it to local computer repair guy .and to think we are suppose to email you with this help is really a bit much don't you think ,

not sure where to go from here actually .sorry

i don't know if it bad ram ,you asked any ideas ,and bad ram is what comes to mind ,you can start by using memtest86 to test ram ,but also in my last post i asked a couple of questions and you didn't answer them yet.

your welcome

thanks mate, just bought myself 3 :D

good ,but i hope you didn,t buy the one in the link as i just noticed its the wrong one ,you need one 2 female in with one male out to sound card

What i meant was that most new pc builders and a lot of pcs 2-3 years old don't use DDR. it isn't fully obsolete though, b/c servers use it a lot (as u said)

yeah,sure aint no one going to be building new systems with ddr ,also dd3 is so expensive i think most builders like Dell and others . will use boards that are dd2 & 3 compatible ,and will sell them with ddr2 and offer dd3 as a upgrade .

are they downloaded from youtube ,looks like something from there,look like they are crappy quality to start with.

two sound cards would conflict,so no to that .
get 3 y-adapter like one picture here .
http://cavemonkey50.com/2006/02/two-computers-only-one-set-of-speakers/

right click on the desktop ,go to properties /settings /advanced /monitor/and check refresh rate ,what is it set at ,[if 60 set it to 70 or 72 ]also in the general are what is screen resolution set at ,[set it to something higher than 1024 x 768 see what happens

ddr= obsolete (for most)

not for me ,all my cheap p4 2.8, biostar board takes ,and the one gig i have is good for what i use the computer for .burning dvd's and Internet research

0x0000008e relates to hardware compatibility issues. Seeing as your RAM is new that would be the source of the problem. The RAM might not be correct for your system. Check using the Crucial Memory Scanner:
http://crucial.com/systemscanner/loader.aspx?Agree=Yes
This will tell you what RAM your PC can support, check the details with the new RAM that you have bought, if there are any differences between what Crucial say, and the little label on the RAM itself, then it is most likely not compatible. The speed of the RAM does not matter, it is the type of RAM; such as DDR PC3200.

all you need to do is click on the 2 links in first post and see they bought the right ram

please post you log in the security forum ,as stated in the announcement at the top of the page where you posted this thread .thanks .

yes i just reinstalled windows, and i reinserted the xp disc again because i lost my second hard drive so i was using the xp disc to see if i could recover the 2nd drive.
it seems as the installation files are still on the hard drive,

regards, solman

OK.

you welcome .i just found it with a google search ,will have to give it a better read tomorrow .

start/accessories/system tools and do a system restore back to the a day before you used gpedit to change SomethinG.

Yes i formated and reinstalled all .
Thank you .

Longer solution,but overall the best one,I think ,
now disconnect it from the Internet, and really enjoy a trouble free computer !

Hello All;
i have been having this issue since 1 month. i formatted my laptop first time, and after 4-5 days i got the same symptoms once again. i guess my USB Flash memory stick was infected, and it carries this virus ( or spyware or whatever).
i am a mechanical engineer and my knowledge in IT world is very minimal...

http://tweakhound.com/vista/tweakguide/page_6.htm

different strokes for different folks ! as said in this link the most misunderstood function of windows

I did all that, but nothing happens, I am not very sure but I think it could be the hard-disk because I tray and old small hard-disk and it boot up ok with an old version of windows 98. The original disk works in another computer, that is what confuses me, is there something that I can do to be shure that the disk is not good

you could try to hook it as slave with the old drive to see if you can at least see it and its content ,you will need to change the jumpers on it to slave and make sure the jumpers on the old drive are set to master with slave ,that would be a start then we could try to figure out why its not booting

not worth my time, but thanks for the links .i'll just listen to the music on iceburg

sounds like a good idea.and my favorite station is ,

ok,maybe not such a great idea ,cant get it to work on my fav radio site ,seems it only want to work on this site and maybe more .are there more sites than shoutcast that it works on .i like iceburg because i can choose my music type and by years .

Get Winamp.
Get Streamripper.
Thousands and thousands and thousands of Mp3s in no time at all.
No virii.

Sheesss,what a problem ,weird how it didn't always do it .

looks like that board has onboard intel video,no pci-e or even AGP slot .
time for a new gaming computer,I think , if thats what you want to use your computer for .
http://downloads.emachines.com/drivers/network/Intel_PRO_6_4_14_0_readme_en.pdf

http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D845GVSR/SR_English.pdf

dose it have any pci add in cards, like modem or network ,if so remove them,also unplug cdrom drives and try booting

i must have missed something ,you say you get error using aol ,then you say they won't help unless you sign up as a paid member ,why then are you using aol.

the LOL could be on you is all we are saying ,there is a chance the ram may not be compatible with you new motherboard .heat spreadesr may mean the maker knows its gonna run hot as well .

is the computer new or did you load windows recently ,could be a controller driver problem ,or bad hard drive ,or hdd cable .
some suggestions here .

also ,you did a fresh install of xp did you install motherboard chipset drivers from a disk for the motherboard or are you just relying on Windows xp version of the drivers for these things
