What i would try is remove the side cover to you case and run the computer like that ,it won't heat up as fast ,also just because the fan is spinning doesn't meant it spinning fast enough ,also you power supply needs a fan ,if its not working it will eventually burn out the power supply.if computer runs with the side off ,then its time to buy some new fans

You can save created Data,music,your IE favorites MYDocuments ,e-mails ,Addressbook ect ect . and stuff you downloaded from the net ,but not installed programs[you will need to re-install them after the format ] to the partition ,there is a lot of work to a re-install of windows ,mostly reinstalling all you programs ,as for drivers ,make sure you have the disks that came with computer or download needed drivers from the net and save to D:\

Sounds more like a hardware issue than a software one!

Hi!
I use Windows XP and I log into my computer with my user name. There is no "Guest" option. I recently changed my password and then immediately forgot it! :o So now I can't get into my computer as there is no other option. Is there any way that I can get into my computer and cancel my password or anything?

have you tried booting to safe mode [hit f8 on bootup]/go into admin and control panel /users and remove the password from your acct

when I open windows task manager on windows xp, I am not able to view cpu memory usage and also other buttons on task manager on the top are missing.Also close window button is missing on task manager. please help

Ok ,I just checked it with IE and its all X's ,but with firefox it actually says a lot about what im doing right now on the net .names and web addresses and other info ,Interesting !
I think i will install SuSe linux one of these days !! and give up on windows .!!:)

Ive been having this problem with my ati display driver so my teacher recomended that I download another one which I did and a message showed up that said "Setup was unable to find components that can be installed on your current machine". Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have Windows Xp if that helps.

its either the wrong one or its a zip file maybe, and needs to be unziped first before the wizzard will recognize it as a driver file .

I bow humbly before the group - I just bought a new cartridge and it works fine.

Thanks for your patience,
zeroth

thats good to hear.been there done that myself !! had simular problem ,bought new color cart,and same thing pink!! !new one was bad also ! I took it back got another and it worked

How do you change the default install to a different drive?

Go to Run.
Type: regedit

Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

On the right side, find the string called ProgramFilesDir and modify it to the desired
path.

Remember to create a program files folder on the other drive!
And don't forget to backup registry before making any changes ,also you will need to reboot for the changes to take affect .

Have Hijack This fix the following by placing a check in the appropriate boxes and selecting fix checked. Make sure all browser and all Windows Explorer windows are closed before fixing.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SNP32M] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SN P32M.exe

A couple of rescource hoggs ,not need at startyp.fix them

O4 - Startup: Microsoft Find Fast.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\FINDFA ST.EXE

O4 - Startup: Office Startup.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA.EXE

this is not need at startup'
O4 - Startup: WinZip Quick Pick.lnk = C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZQKPIC K.EXE

Now reboot into safe mode and delete the following files and folders if found .

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SN P32M.exe ...delete file

How to start computer in safe mode

go to tools /internet options/advanced / browsing and uncheck reuse window for launching shortcuts

format and use the upgrade to do a cleane install of xp,you will just need to but ME in when asked for proof of ownership .

If you want a program to run at startup,put its .EXE in the startup folder .
Open windows explorer ,and copy the progrms .exe to the startup folder .

the startup folder is in C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. just place a copy of the programs .EXE here ,
Like if it were notpad.exe you wanted to start you would go to c:\windows ,and drag and drop a copy of notepat.exe to .
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup that its ..
Or if the program is in ,START/All Programs just drag and drop its icon to the startup folder there .

Yeah, I'd say Spybot S&D or adaware, or maybe both...

these two programs alone will not remove a CoolWebSearch Infection,you will need to run CWShredder,and then Spybot and Ad-Aware .

you have what is refered to as a browser hijacker ,in my sicnature you will find some programs to help .If you are ready for some work in removing these parasites.
first to do is ad-aware ,spybot ,and the online virus scan .

you should download and run AD-Aware and Spybot ,don't forget to update them before you scan computer ,then post back a new log !
Hijackthis will backup what it removes but not when you are running it from with in the zip file so un zip it to its own folder on you c:\ drive and run it from there .

.Hijackthis tutoral here
http://hjt.wizardsofwebsites.com/

Ok also ,when doing the scans and fixes with hijackthis make sure that all browser windows and window explorer windows are closed .

. It appears that its trying to send an at command? .

What is an at command .!!And how do you know its trying send one !1never heard of a computer that could boot when shut down !

remove new and reinstall old version

Remove MSN messenger==Uninstall Messenger

You have to edit sysoc.inf (located in /WINDOWS/inf). Under [Components] you should see the following line:
msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7. Take the word 'hide' out of the line, and it should look like this:
msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7. Exit and save.

Go to Add or Remove Programs, and click on Add/Remove Windows Components. There you should now be able to uncheck the MSN Messenger Service, and by clicking Next it will uninstall.=======

Old version === http://oldversion.com/program.php?n=msnm

try a different cdrom
