faulty device most likely ,tp-link is a fairly/really cheap device

Computer keeps shutting down. In safe mode c:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\circlass.sys is flagged. Is this a problem with my tower exhaust?

a google search says that file belongs to windows IR[infer red ]have you installed a infer red device lately ,not like it has anything to do with you tower exhaust

hi,not sure why it only shows D:, try 3rd party defraggler,safe and free i use it regularly ,its from the makers of Ccleaner another great free program .

im using nero 8.3.7.1, on win7

heyy.....
i deleted my sound card from add/remove :(
i dont have any cd to install it back..
can anyone help me to get my pc sound back..pls

if you know what sound card it is you can go to there web site to download driver ,what is the make and model # of your computer

hijack log looks alright ,

When ever I open the task manager on my machine, it shows the CPU usage at least 46%. However, when I look at the processes, the idle process is at 96, meaning the other processes are only taking 4%. I have a dual 2.4GHZ running XP SP 3 with 2GB of RAM. I re-imaged this machine from Vista to XP. I installed all the drivers from dell (all though my device manager still shows a ? for a PCI Device.) I am curious if it does not recognize the second process? What could be eating up the CPU but not show in the process list?

The reason this is a problem is because I am trying to play a game that is going slow. When ever I look at the cpu usage at that point it is pushing 99%. My thinking is, if I find what is eating up the cpu and stop it, it would help. I have a second laptop that is almost the identical setup, but 3GB of ram. My CPU on this machine sits around 4% when idle.

Any advice?

this program will help identify the pci device .

hi, best to ask you question on a overclocking forum one would think ,im sure there a few people here who overclock but most people on a overclocking forum do!or want to
a old time favorite is www.overclockers.com/forums/
good luck

no need to apologize ,the link was just to give you a little something to read ,,to gather a little knowledge about what it is you want to do >
there is know way i could take you through it step by step !

go back to my first response ,,do you have a winxp cd to install xp, if your WIN ME is working so bad why would you want to leave it on the computer.

before i leaned so much about computer i paid a computer tech fix my serious problems ,and i learned what i know [what ever that is ]now by reading links like the one i posted above !

so if you want to run both ME and XP ,you would be best off to reinstall ME start new ! ,then install XP ,always install oldest OS, first .but if it were me i would forget ME all tougher.

one more link that is a must read for a first time installer of winxp ,.

your welcome

ASCF which then went on to find 9000 odd problems!

those were likely just minor registry errors ,and it also removed important file ,so actually it was more the cause of you problem then a fix !wasn't it.

Persistence, and threats always work ,good luck

you should always back up your file [if they mean anything to you ]regardless if you plan on reload windows or not ,some day out of the blue you harddrive could fail completely ,Yes you will have to reinstall all program and drivers if you format and reinstall win2000 ,ASC was over kill for trying to remove malware ,most of it is a registry cleaner i thing .should have tried malwarebytes ,or superantispyware .

maybe and only maybe ,but i think if you go to control panel /add and remove programs ,look on the left for add windows components ,you should find messenger in there ,mind you i haven't used winxp for a yr now but if memory serves me it should be there

Restore ur hardware & sofware configuration and then on ur pc and install antivirus if u dont have i u have then update it and use some gud registry like reginout it wil automatically fix ur registry errors and i hope ur computer start working better after doing all this!
Thanx

hi, we really try to avoid chat/kiddie speak in help forums ,just for clarity ,thanks for helping

hi,not sure but try ,flushing dns and release and renew , instructions here ,
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ipconfig.mspx?mfr=true

its actually quite simple ,first go start/ computer ,go to tools /folder options /view ,uncheck sisplay full path in tite bar ,should be 6th one in the list it think '

then just right click on the file and select rename ,and rename it ,,,, anyname.mpa

nor sure if you can create a disk with vist and its 2 service pack combined ,i know i use to do it with winxp using nlite program ,but its only for xp 2000 and server 2003, they made vlite for vista ,but it looks like its buggy

any you could just install vista and then download sp1 and sp2 and install them.

sp1= http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb738089.aspx

sp2 = http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd262148.aspx

It does not recognise the Hard Drive.
thanks

hi, if this a tower computer ,you could open the case [unplug comp first]and unplug cables from the hardrive and where it connects to the motherboard , plug them back in to make new connection ,i had a few that,that was all they needed

i suggested malwarebytes because of all the references to mywebsearch malware .
don't see a need to run it daily but weekly wouldn't hurt ,also i use and reccomend a weekly cleaning of temp files and other shit ,i use CCleaner for that.

Prevx's David Kennerley offers help:

Why is it that 7 has a problem with ie8? keeps stopping. and older drivers do not work. thinking of going back to xp pro..

hi ,i use IE8 and win 7 without any problems ,what do you mean by STOP!
also what older drivers !

do you use any other browser ,like Google chrome or firefox with out problems

my computer does not boot instead keeps on complaining press f1 to continue f2 setup. Even after pressinf f1, it then says No Boot Device Available. kindly hlep me out of this
thank.

DELL

hi hit f2 to enter bios/setup, see if it recognizes you hard drive ,if not then you have serious hard drive problem that needs professional attention

just try running the fixit program in the link provided in post above.
a few yrs back that error happened a lot in computer that didn't have enought ram ,

your welcome ,you can mark post as solved ,and add to my reputation if you wish

try cleaning you computer with www.malwarebytes.org program

hi,may not even matter but you don't say what version of windows and IE you are using ,

hi ,i would try uninstalling my video drivers in safe mode then boot to regular mode ,and of course then you will be prompt to reinstall the drivers ,i think it should get you in anyway to where you may be able to set the res lower

what kind of router does you neighbour have !!
whats your laptop brand and model #
your laptos wireless device may not be compatible with the d-link ,also using you internet browser ,type the d-link ip address[192.168.0.1] into the address bar[just click on next when asked for password ] and add a wireless device ,als make sure that the wireless chanel is set the same on both computers

http://support.dlink.com/emulators/wbr2310/lan.htm

try entering set up and disable bios cache or shadowing.

the setup this is referring to is actually the BIOS ,usually accessed by hitting f1 or DEL keys .

Message goes on saying, " If I recently installed any programs to delete them and restart your computer."
If I delete these programs how will I be able to install them again?

if you recently installed them then you would have the install file for them would you not

its possible that if you uninstall you chip set ,and video drivers and any other devices before you move the hardrive it may work

also not a good review at PC Magazine .

There is a virus that can rename or even delete system files this will cause the computer to boot in safe mode but not in Normal Mode. All files are not required for a safe boot up. You can try running a program in safe mode that is called "ReImage" it will most of the time repair your system with new files that are missing or damaged due to this virus. I am not associated with this ReImage program in no way, but I have seen it work. Good Luck!

Reimage ,it only got one review on download .com and it wasn't a good one .http://download.cnet.com/Reimage-Repair/3000-18512_4-10907808.html

My 7 year old Intel 32 bit motherboard passed away. I'l like to replace it with a 64 bit motherboard, processor and memory and still run my Xp Pro hard drive and DXD/CD. Here's the big question: will Xp boot up on the 64 bit hardware? I'm assuming I'll have to load some 64 bit drivers for the printer, etc.

Thanks,
Speedy

first no problem using you harddrive and dvd rom ,but you will [most] likely have to reinstall winxp ,you won't need to run 64 bit drivers if you are using a 32 bit winxp ,you will need to use 32 bit drivers for everything ,no advantage to having a 64 bit motherboard unless you install a 64 bit windows OS

hi,stat with cpuid program to get the make and model of the motherboard in the dell ,and post results back here .
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z/versions-history.html

1)my desk top switches on as soon as i plug to power supply, eventhough i did not use push button

this is normal[with most computer brands ] ,its because you are not shutting it down correctly .

2) when i touch metal part of cpu i get minor shock

this is certnly not normal,maybe be bad power supply,or bad ground .

3) it require frequent booting, due primery ide slave gets disabled
and also secondery ide slave gets disabled

also not normal ,could be releated to the bad power connection/short.what ever .

i was actually going to suggest that as something to try.

did you try disabling the firewall just to try it

so I had to use a work around which isn't exactly stable.

and ,is as you know, likely the sole cause of your problems

now I'm looking for a new security software, sucks cause CA was free.

hi ,try Microsoft security essentials ,it free ,i have been using it for quite some time ,on 3 computer here .plus i put it on customers computers
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

the more details should have taken you to adobe web site.
do you use windows firewall or a third party firewall by chance ,try disabling the firewall you use ,and then try connecting to adobe or r updating a plug in JRiver Media Center

ok, i now agree ,but don't have an answer ,in both those examples it should be just trying going to a website ,do you by chance have a problem with links in emails ,if you use outlook xpress or outlook email program,
also do you have adobe reader on you computer ,if yes open it go to help/improve program option ,click on the more details link do it go to adobe site

Within several different programs in which there is an imbedded link to a website for help or for a download or for getting further information of some sort, ???????????

name a few of the programs ,sound more likely the program has a error within , than a Vista error wouldn't you think

reading around i see mention of firewall and anti- virus software causing this the netio.sys seems to be a network error and you can find many references to it in a www.google.com search

lol, i reread ,usb adapter ,no a router .lol.
this link has software compatible with win7 , i know you are probably using that one now ,right
http://kb.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2620

save your self a lot of BS and go out ad buy a new up to date router

several time my system was freezes when playing game & run video player

so I need your suggestion

my system config is :- 750i xfx sli mother board,2.33quadcore processor, 4/800 ddr2 ram,
9500 gta pci express2 card, attrix 450w smps,500gb hdd

I`ve still now phasing the same problem after reloaded the driver & replacing after graphics
card.

hi, the rules here are that you start your own thread and not hijack another persons ,so please start you own thread ,explaining you problem ,thanks

time to reinstall windows and all necessary device drives ,i would backup all my important data and i would get lates drivers for all my devices and format and reinstall if it were mine

nv4_disp is nvidea driver related ,i would have to reread all the above post to know what you tried so far[] ,so try uninstall nvidea drivers and getting the latest driver and install them

sorry i have no idea what you are trying to do .like i suggested ,maybe best to ask you question here in the programing section ,good luck .
