This is the site i use to Tweek my Services to what i want them to be .
http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

You will have to search the Startup site to fix the 04s' you want to disable ,as I don't know them all ,and would have to search and make sure what each one if for ! Quit fankly Don't have that much time .Sorry !!!

If you get int o the bios as suggested above ,set the defaults and exit saving changes and try Re-booting

The manufactors web site only has drivers for win3.1 amd win95 ,so i dought very much if this printer has a USB connection!!!

Have hijack fix the ,as everything else is safe ,
'O16 - DPF: {41F17733-B041-4099-A042-B518BB6A408C} - http://a1540.g.akamai.net/7/1540/52...meInstaller.exe

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
if want to have hijackthis stop some of the 04s' then search HERE for a definition of each by copy and pasting the EXE in the seach on this SITE .
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
like this one =O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CTStartup] C:\Program Files\Creative\Splash Screen\CTEaxSpl.EXE /run
copy the ,CTStartup, from within the brackets and past it int o the search and you will get tis results back=[CTStartup N CTEaxSpl.exe Splash screen with sound on every boot up. Installed with a Sound Blaster Audigy soundcard ] and you decide if you want hijackthis to fix it so it doesent run at startup.

I have a new problem. I fixed the RPC server by uninstalling the windows 2 service pack. I got the virus scan to work........sorta
My new prooblem is everytime I start up the virus scan the VSMAIN.exe shuts down by itsself and so does the instant updater.
LMAO! Now what is wrong?! :eek:

Im lost, I don't have an answer sorry!

There might be a import export function on the top toolbar ,in File and then export ,and choose contacts like in outlook express ,i only have outlok 2000 and express..or you can do a search for the file its stored in the file format for contacts is WAB ,so so a search for *.WAB and copy it to a floppy or what ever to take it to a nother computer and then open out look and do a import and take it from the floppy or what ever media you use .

This is a handy little trick you can use with Internet Explorer 6 to make it boot up extremely fast
Make a shortcut of iexplore on your desktop ... right-click on the shortcut to Internet Explorer and add the parameter '-nohome' to the end of the command line, like so:

Target: Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome

I tried and it will not let me change the target line to the above

Maybe this, if you are using winxp ,do you have the Quilck Launch set on the lower toolbar ,if so there should be a little icon ther that is for showing the desktop.Thats if the tool bar is showing when you are running the install ,most time it is ,
if quick launch is not set then you can set it by right clicking on the lower tool bar ,go to tool bars and check off quick launch .

Hi.....and thanks. I downloaded Hijack This and created a new folder on my desktop and put it in that folder. However, when I open it, I got the message that it appears that I am trying to open it in a temporary file. I then placed it under Program Files and opened it there and got the same message. Sorry if this is a silly question, but where should I place it so that it is in a permanent folder?

Have you unzipped it completely ,some folks run winzip ,but don't finish the unzip and try to run it from the winzip temp folder .?? just a thought

its broke maybe ,have you tried another mouse,quickest troubleshooting to try in this case .

I have not been able to find the CD for the printer. It is four years old, and I have moved 3 times since I bought it. Can't find the CD for the Compaq IJ 300.

Compaq site only has drivers for win 3.1 and win95 ,time for and new printer me thinks .
Compaq

Try E-BAY maybe

I see that you have HIJACKthis in both a temp folder and the c:\hjt , folder so make sure you run the one in the C:\hjt folder, and delet the other one ,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Run hijackthis ,make sure you close all browser windows and any open program windows, excpt hijackthis .
Check off and fix the line mentioned above ,
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KernelFaultCheck] %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k
reboot computer and post a new log ,not sure if this is goint to fix your problem though .

I sorry for misunderstanding you .

who is they? that you are refering to when you say they wont letyou ,i assumme you mean the Pheonix Bios people

I not sure if someone has restriction on you bios or you are not able to find where the Bios Shaddow function is .
this might help ,if now Im sorry I can't offer anymore help than this ,as i don't have a phonix bios.

I sorry for misunderstanding you .

Perhaps... but if you leave yourself open to such things, you make it worse for everyone else.

UGHHHHHH!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

glad to have helped .

Drive is fine! and boot order is fine???????

if that is the case, then why do you think you are getting this error message ??? Will it then continue to load or dors it just stop !! i still think you need to rpaire or reload windows ,

I don't have time to respond right now so if someone else is lurking and wishes to do so please do so. thanks

Caperjack,
I downloaded that program and it is cool.. but...
I used it on the machine I am on right now and it says my OS in Linux running Lindows?? WTF?
I am running 98se

Now theres a bug to report to the makers

Thank you for replying
When i press F10, a black screen shows up with a white box. On the top of the box, it says PhoenixBIOS setup Utility. Here are the functions that show in the box.
Main: PXE Function; Parallel Port; Fram Buffer size (There is a little box to the right showing the functions of Parallel Port, I see the BIOS function, but could not access to that box)
Boot: ATAPI CD-ROM Drive; Hard Drive; Floppy Diskette Drive; Network Boot (However, these functions are there just for........ look. I can't access or do anything)
Exit: some exit functions
There, that is all i can find in the box after pressing F10. I've tried to go back in there so many times to fix things up. But none has revealed any success.

Thats you Bios ,Thats your BIOS all you need to do is learn hoe to move around inside!!
there are many different BIOSES so getting into the different sections of each bios may be different ,usually the arrow keys to move about and the + and - keys or the enter key will helpmake changes in each section and change a setting

caperjack:

I totally agree - so long as massive security holes don't count as problems.

Not worried about massive security holes myself ,have noting of interest on my machine ,If someone wants to hack in come on in ,if it gets full of bugs and s--t I reload !!

I know noting about RPC ,but found This in a search .

Scanning in Spybot Search and Destroy:

1. Downloaded and Install Spybot S&D, accepting the Default Settings

2. In the Menu Bar at the top of the Spybot window you will see 'Mode'. Make certain that 'default mode' has a check mark beside it.

3. Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D

4. Click the button to ‘Search for Updates’ then download and install the Updates.

5. Next click the button ‘Check for Problems’

6. When Spybot is complete, it will be showing ‘RED’ entries bold 'Black' entries and ‘GREEN’ entries in the window

7. Make certain there is a check mark beside all of the RED entries ONLY.

8. Choose ‘Fix Selected Problems’ and allow Spybot to fix the RED entries.

9.REBOOT to complete the scan and clear memory.

Finally if you are going to run both Spybot SD and Ad-Aware SE, leave the rescan with HijackThis until you have completed running both tools. If only running Spybot SD then RESCAN with HijackThis and POST your logfile in the same thread using ‘Add Reply’. Please do not attempt to fix anything in HijackThis yourself!

Scanning With Ad-Aware SE :

1. Download and Install Ad-Aware SE, keeping the default options. However, some of the settings will need to be changed before your first scan

2.Close ALL windows …

reboot computer,start hitting the f8 key and choose safe mode and run ad-aware in safe mode .

Use a better browser.

Not better in my opinion as I have no problems with IE and don't need Mozilla !

Me not paying attention again ,I didn't read the info in the threads name !Ignore all my post !

yup. the only thing I found that was close was my mouse driver.

Ok ,Log looks OK now ,hows the antivirus program behaving now !

Hello there, I have tried to defrag in the 'safe mode' but again it stopped at 51% it stayed like this for 4 hours and then moved to 52%. After another couple of hours it went back to 51%. Can anyone else come up with any suggestions. Many thanks
Mary (Scotland) :)

Did You run A thorough Scandisk First

2 weeks 12 hours a day it worked properly when i replaced last time its processor. I just changed this processor which was working properly(400Mhz with 600MHz).
after this it did not work with last 400MHz pocessor
now what to do

Could be lots of things ,video /Ram /motherboard ,
First Does the computer bootup at all ,do the fans run or is it completly dead .
just what happens when you turn it on!??

I thinking it could be the Motherboard or Powersupply ,But Ram and or Video Card can cause this sort of problem also .
If i read you right you are saying that the 400 worked ,you upgraded to a 600 and its now not working even when you put the 400 back in .Right .

If that is right ,you could try taking out the Ram ,the video card ,sound card ,modem and any other Cards that are in the Slots .and try turning on the computer to see if it powers up

Please do this.
Download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe
Your copy of HijackThis needs to be in a folder of it's own. When HJT fixes anything, it makes backups of the original files in the folder it is in. Since Temporary folders are emptied now and then (the files are DELETED), it would not be a good idea to have your backups there. Those backups would be VITAL to restoring your system if something went wrong in the FIX process!

1. Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.

2. Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder.

3. Close ALL windows except HJT

4. SCAN with HJT

5. POST the new log in this thread using 'Add Reply'

DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES OR CLICK "FIX CHECKED" UNTIL WE CHECK THE LOG, AS SOME OF THE FILES ARE LEGIT AND VITAL TO YOUR COMPUTER'S HEALTH

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mouse_configurator.win

I dont have that one either.

just checking did you set computer to show hidden files and folders as described in the post above .

Run Hijackthis again and post a new log thanks

Not sure on the usb problem ,i assume you install the usb device drivers for it !

you could try Reboot to SAFE mode to run defrag
How to start computer in safe mode

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm

compatibility shouldn't be an issue with a PCI card ,how did you uninstall and disable the onboard ??
Usually one of two ways to disable , jumber on motherboard, or in the bios!
so with the computer running ,you would go right click on mycomputer/properties/hardware/ device manager /uninstall drivers for the onbard video display .shut down computer install the new PCI card ,then disable the onboard ,if its a jumper on the motherboard do it before you boot computer ,if its in the bios ,boot computer to BIOS/SETUP and disable onboard ,then reboot computer and windows should detect the new video card ,and either load the drives or ask for place where drivers are located /like on a cd that came with the new card . ,

Asus P4S533X board ram spect . is the 512 meg chip on of these types
SDRAM and DDRAM COMBO
P4S533-MX has two DDR sockets and two SDR sockets that support up to 2GB non-ECC PC2700/PC2100/PC1600 or PC133/PC100 SDRAM DIMMs.

Sounds like a Ram compatibility problem to me .

Last time when same problem occured ,i replaced its processor, but now i did every thing not working properly.
other parts are P3 600MHz ,128Mb,20Gb Quantum
i need repairing level help

Let me get this strait ,your computer wouldn't boot ,you changed the processor ,and it started worked again ,,but has since stopped working again .!!
How long did you computer work after you changed the processor .correct me if iam misunderstanding you problem !
also you say other parts Are: . P3 600mhz ect ect .the p3 600 is your processor ,We are talking about 2 different ones right .were they the Same type and size processor .maybe the new one isn't compatiable with you motherboard

Hey all, slight hardware/Windows related problem I'm really hoping someone might be able to help me with.

Basically I've assembled a new computed from parts purchased separately (all parts are working as I have tested them separately) - except for a hard drive which I have taken from my previous computer.

Now I can get to BIOS, but as soon as I try and get a step further to Windows, I get the message saying 'Windows could not boot up due to a recent hardware change... yadda yadda yadda...', and gives me the options of starting with last known good config, starting normally and such. I've tried all options, but I just keep getting the same screen.

I'm literally tearing my hair out trying to figure out what exactly it is that is stopping me from getting in to Windows... does anyone know what might be going on?

Thanks all!

Mike

Windows xp doesn't like it when you change the motherboard ,if you had winxp loaded You will need to re-install winxp for a quick fix .

You would need to us a boot manage !

Maybe you could go over to this section of the fourms and read up on posting a hijackthis log and we can take a look see and maybe the problem will show its ugly face .Thanks

HERE

could be you video card heating up ,or CPU heatup,hows the inside of your case ,clear of dust buildup
could be a lot of things

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with this problem I have. (I'm running XP) There's this "Search Assistant" thing on my toolbar and whenever I uncheck it... it comes back next startup. :(
