ok you may have a virus or malware

if you have no other option you might need to reset the computer back to factory defaults.

restart the computer and press Ctrl and F11 at the same time when the computer starts to boot this should bring up the pc restore tool. follow the directions on the screen and it will reset your computer.

The poster is trying to do a recovery !!! and there keyboard will not work when needed !
Im self taught ,and been fixing computer for about 10 yrs now,and im learning everyday so ,please tell me how a virus or malware is going to stop the keyboard from working when windows isn't even running .and don't say boot sector virus .

Give this a try i think its your problem.
--------------------------------
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Reasons for this error include a driver that is not present; a binary file that is corrupt; a file I/O problem, or a driver that references an entry point in another binary file that could not be loaded.

Have you installed a 'packet driver' lately??

Possible Solution...... go to Start /run/ type in ,regedit.and do the following

There are 2 reg keys that can screw the device......remove them both and reboot......

The keys are:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} - "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters".

Of course... the fact that I continued running the machine even after it first started doing the whole shut-down thing almost a year ago is another issue...

it sure is ,if it been that long then maybe its a software issue ,have you tried doing a chkdsk repair .right click on the harddrive icon in mycomputer and go to tools and do it from there check of to fix errors

I hate Yahooooo

woww lol.
do i need to use a windows xp HOME edition CD-ROM??

yes

Additionally, if I move any of the power cables coming the from the PSU (or even touch them) while the system is on it immediately shuts down.

you trouble shot and found your problem and you are risking ruining your computer to find out more info on the net .Get that PSU out now before its to late .

Open the tower cover and remove any addin PCI cards like sound card and modem or network card .see what happens ,if you have more than one stick of ram remove all but one .

When i put in the cd the drive is laboring

Get it to push,push ,push , oh sorry i thought you said it was in labor.

explain you problem ,so we don't have to read all the old post in this old thread that you have hijacked !

sorry what did you mean by 'what am i going to boot to it for if i am not goin to repair'?

if i use a boot disk (floppy disk), would it still be the same as rebooting witha windows XP cd?because i might just do that instead of repairing.

you were the one that said you wanted to boot to a floppy instead of the cd and doing a repair not me .

i dont quite understand what your trying to say, but my answer is i just want to fix my windows to make it genuine.

you will need to contact microsoft to buy a valid key to make it genuine

and about the screen resolution that i have right now... before i reformatted my comp, the screen resolution was normal (probably like everyone elses which is not too big, and not too small). oh.. and i have no vid card?.. but lemme check again, i might have checked for the wrong slot.

sounds like your video drivers need installing ,and the video card/controller is where the monitor pluggs in on the tower ,monitor wont display with out one .

WoW all the 04's do you actually get to use the computer after you turn it on .lol.
just posting so i can follow the fix.
one thing for sure is you do have a few bad 04's but chrunchie will fix those with you .
these ones
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [{2C70168B-97CE-4f31-B85D-1FEC5002721D}] "C:\WINDOWS\sysavxjgdu.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [{BAAA759D-56F0-428c-B8DA-827EA3B08C2C}] "C:\WINDOWS\sysawechod.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [{DD651081-A909-45ad-BD71-2335B0ADE043}] "C:\WINDOWS\sysabmpmfr.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [{7DD4A7AC-A3F1-4495-884A-7947C5B89108}] "C:\WINDOWS\sysahbecjh.exe"

form rules ,no helping with bootleg copy of windows ,sorry
oh and the problem with the display is you don't have correct drivers installed for you video device.as for the floppy whats on it ,is it a winxp boot floppy ,and what are you going to boot to it for if you are not going to do a repair ! what are you booting to it for ! please explain youself.

i was just wondering where i can get my own.. besides buying a new one =s

you could beat up the little old lady down the lane, and steal hers .

ahh ok, I dont use a password to log into my pc,

also, the external hard drive isnt under any profile

when its plugged in it would show under all profiles , profile .
how many users setup on your computer ,you could use 3rd party software to do so .

I operate Windows XP Home Edition.
My Recyle Bin Icon is on the desktop and the folder is in My Computer. But I cannot access it.
Whenever I try to send a file to the Bin I get this message. "Cannot delete ---. The dir or file cannot be created."
This started a few days ago and I have tried various actions in "Safe Mode", several different virus scan programs. No luck.
Oh, yes. When I click on the Icon, the Bin opens but is empty. But when I go to System/Disk Cleanup, it says there is 1,953,722 Kb in the Bin but doesn't empty it!
Anybody have ideas?
Thanks.

give ccleaner a try ,see if it gets rid of the diskcleaner reporting that the bin has stuff in it .
http://www.ccleaner.com/

the folder in mycomputer can you right click and go to properties ,does it show any amount as being in the folder .

try this one .

out the window i gggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

the WinXP installation is fine because i have been using the same hardware/software for around 3 months max with no errors.

think as you may,but windows updates of late have been causing a log of problems with drivers and causing driver conflicts .hope you sort it out so you can get your projects done .good luck

ok i have the most recent BIOS update 29 December 2007, drivers... I shall look into that

usually booting the winxp cd and going to repair option and type in "chkdsk /r" with out the " will fix the driver conflict .

if this helps, i saw this in the event viewer but it only appeared in the event viewer when i turned on my pc, i didnt even have to go through the blue screen of death!

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0xddf7ccaf, 0xefe98670, 0x00000000). A full dump was not saved.

PLEASE dont tell me this is a CPU/MOBO error since i just bought the CPU a few weeks ago and the mobo i cant really afford to replace for a while...

check the oxoooooo8e,section here .like it says usuall a hardware driver issue .or maybe you need a bios update .
http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

so its a bad mobo, right?

sounds like it .does the power supply fan come on

maybe you should have check with his ISP first to see if problem was on there end.

echo echo echo

Is it possible that a motherboard fan will not spin because of a broken CPU? Or would it be the mobo's fault?

no,its either a bad fan or a bad power supply,and /or non-working motherboard, .no power going to fan .not the actual CPU

Two questions:

1. How do I route the audio to the sound recorder?

2. How do I keep the two processes from interrupting each other and stopping the film from playing, putting gaps in the recording?

if you have a mic ,put it near the speaker to record it when playing the taste less video .

i cant tell you wha t fils e to delete ,i can only tell you to back up the ones you want and then you can safely delete other users ,

go here[C:\Documents and Settings] on the c:\ drive and you will see all added users plus the admin acount .this is whre all mydocuments folders are stored for each user .

when you install winxp it creates a admin account and a user account with admin rights .,if i were you i would backup any important file and then you could delete all users i nthe control panel ,except the original ,you will not see the admin account that was created when winxp was first install ,just created user accounts .

can user accounts be deleted to return my computer to how it looked when it was running as administrator only (no log in). Directory is now a mess with duplicate files all over the place. Want my old look back. Scared to delete files under my name in case i cant log in and get them off c drive.

how many users do you have on it now .what duplicated files do you have

this review says it not a gaming laptop, maybe run some older games ,are your 3d game of the newer variety .

if you get no help from them you could always just use XP

is it worth my time contacting tech support on this matter ?

yes, or even consider sending it back to Toshiba or who ever you bought it from .Wait to long and the guarantee will be up when it dies completely

Cheers, toilet-trained

good to hear you got the toilet thing down pat,now more training ,as the starter of this thread you should see "MARK as SOLVED ,at the end of this thread click on it to marked solved ,thanks .lol

one more thing, what if i am just hanging the hdd without it being fitted into the case,maybe causing all the trouble?

not i good idea if the drive spinning ,if the arm hit the disk it will chip it .

just in case you need to know before he returns i'll answer ?
just remove the safe boot switch ,a switch is this / and the command following it ,the one before the / are needed to boot windows .
,/SAFEBOOT:MINIMAL(ALTERNATESHELL)

get Everest ,it will show you exactly what adapter the board used and then just search the net for driver . just look in network section or pci device section

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.

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

good day. please this is really making me sick.
i have this acer laptop and the keyboard is giving me trouble. If i depress the M key the windows i am working on collapses(minimizes). also when i depress the R key it brings up the 'RUN' dialog box, the P key takes the computer to standby. I have tried reinstalling windows but is still giving same problem. Someone should assist me

Forum rules state !please don't hijack other persons thread ,start you own ,stating your problem, thanks,and we reply on the forum not through email so don't leave a email address

PS ,some one should assist Me.,really !

when i start xp i get the setup option showing still

have you just reinstall windows,did you leave the winxp cd in the drive maybe

windows does not boot straight normally, i have to choose

I assume you mean by straight ,that it don't go right to the desktop!???
what choices to you get, a little more info is need to help .

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

east to read ,no effort ,to under stand now for me thats an effort ,so you think the little surfing on the net caused you 1 min freeze on startup .where were you surfing ,program crack sites ,porn sites or p2p downloading ,or were you just surfing news sites or what .please explain
also check event viewer for errors .
in start/run type in , eventvwr , and go to system section ,see if there are any reported errors

hello .hitting f8 on bootup will bring up a screen with safe mode and other option ,choose the one that says "disable auto start on error report " ,something like that, then hit enter ,next time it craps out you should get BSOD error report screen ,write down the error report and post it here for review .

eventvwr.msc , type that into start/run and go to system and check out error reports ,a google search of part of you error show video related problems some people are having .

don't use office as it to expensive for me to buy, just to open a few files from emails .so i cant imaging if i did buy 2003 ,that i would go out and buy 2007 just in case some company sending me the files upgraded to 2007

it's more of a showoff thing!! anything can get you through school work

I knew that /lol

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the computer to read the processor so I can install new drivers?

here i go again trying to learn more . but do tell me what drivers you need to load that care what cpu is in the computer ,i have never had that problem before with any windows os i've loaded .

I recently downgraded back to ME (kinda had it with Windows lately)

Me too !!!but i'll be darned if that would make me go back to ME.

For cpuid software try cpu-z ,http://www.cpuid.com/

Socket 479 was used for Pentium M (mobile) CPUs. So 479 pins is correct.

I learning something new everyday ,as always ,i did not know that !!
I once put a laptop cpu [might have been a s370 i forget ]in a desktop comp.not a M though,didn't know there was a difference

i think you mean 478 pin ,the make and model # of the laptop might help better than just the info on the chip

3gig p4 512 ram should be good enough to do work at school anyway !

now having said what i said in the post above ,you really should not be having problem downloading without these drivers i do it all the time with a usb to nic adapter ,when install winxp fresh and have to get nic drivers for the computer ,you cleary have other issues ,what im not sure .
