An Hp file just appeared under my c drive. I think it was after combofix was run but not sure. I was going to delete it based on some people saying you can...but then I saw nvidia, driver, realtech speakers and things of the sort. Should I not delete it, or can I? Can I move it.
View 5 RepliesI have two separate internal Drives: Drive C and Drive D. Drive D is only used to store things like photos, music, and documents.Just recently a folder called "Boot" appeared on my D Drive. Here's a partial shot of its contents:This new folder on my D Drive doesn't seem necessary, and I don't know why it's there. I completely disconnected my D Drive and booted my computer, and it booted just fine (There IS a "Boot" folder in c:\windows also). When I try to delete the folder from my D Drive, I get the message, "You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this folder." Trying to get permission to delete it, I made myself the owner of the folder. So now when I try to delete it, it says, "You require permission from PEGSCOMPUTER/PEG to make changes to this folder." I AM PEG!There's also a file called "bootmgr" and "BOOTSECT.BAK" on my D Drive that won't let themselves be deleted either.Does anyone know why the folder (and the two files)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI run a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit machine, Although my computer isnt acting strangely and there are no symptoms of being infected I happen to have run across a strange folder in the primary users account. the folder is titled: CCBAA1F7E5E148B29ED9A79C6A37CE78.TMP, and in that folder are a bunch of files. I have attached a screen shot. Any idea what this is all about? I have seen mention of it being related to Cisco VPN client installs, which I have installed recently but there are also references to it being malicious so I dont know what to think. I have scanned with Microsoft Security essentials, Malwarebytes, and Superantispyware and absoultely nothing was found.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi was in my downloads folder on my laptop, and noticed a file I hadn't seen before, it was a zip file and when I opened it, it contained Psd. documents that i had created literally years ago, and never opened since. the strange thing is that in properties, it tells me that the zipfile, and files within the zip, were last created and modified on the 15th oct 2012. which would be ten days ago. also i says that the time which i it was created was 9:30am. i know that my computer is never on that early in the morning So, my question is, does/can windows create a folder of its own accord? is this a case of ghosts in the machine?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new PC (HP e9220y) running Windows 7 64-bit. I am testing different backup methods to decide what works best. I tried the Windows back up and restore and had some problems with it. (It didn't seem to recognize that it did one backup already and showed "Last Backup: Never". )
So based on a suggestion in this forum I think, I installed the free edition of Macrium Reflect. It performed the initial first backup just fine. The it did the first scheduled backup this morning as expected, creating a whole new backup file next to the initial one. (The free edition does not do incremental backups so this was expected.)
BUT, all of a sudden I seem to have a new partition on my hard drive that mirrors my C: drive. It's labeled K: (which was the next available letter.) I don't understand why this appeared? Any ideas?
anyway - i just unplugged everything from my system, to install a new graphics card, and at the same time dust around it, tidy up etc. including an external hard disc which is connected full time, and is assigned, or was assigned drive F.as i had an onboard card originally, i had difficulty with the install, so had to reset the bios by removing the battery.everything works fine now, except i have a phantom cd drive in F
it doesn't show in the device manager, and it isn't in disc management either.the biggest poblem is i have an external drive which has 500gig of projects, photos and video, which are all linked to adobe lightroom, premiere and after effects, and now they are all broken links, unless i can assign the drive which has now been assigned to E, back to F where it should be.
some one deleted my folder in E drive i have taken all my important datas like documents scaned copy etc., in that folder in this week iwant to know the exact time and date this incidet?

Since I am not so familiar with Linux I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and after the first restart (while installing the drivers) it kept restarting itself when the HP logo appeared.I learned here on sevenforums.com that a usual format of the HD is not enough if the laptop came with Linux. Anyway I managed to install windows with the so-called "clean all" in command prompt, and everything was fine, until a lot of BSOD appeared (3-4 times a day).Most of the time the blue screen contains the IRLQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error.I downloaded the memtest-86, it checked my rams and had no errors.I downloaded the BlueScreenViewer and gave me the following information:[CODE]I also started the Driver Verifier (verifier.exe), though I have no idea how to use it, or what to do with it also what is good for, when I clicked on the "Display existing settings" and hit next,***UPDATE***2-3 minutes ago I got another BSOD, when the laptop was idle...

last night I had a new destination showing on my list of networks called SEXBOX. Had been working so decided to wait till this morning to investigate. It has gone now.
I have a small home network. Not fully operating yet. I need to study here more to understand. XP and Windows 7. I may not be the only people on my system as I have some others sharing the house.
I do occasionally open the naughties but never absolutely never join anything or down load anything or give my email etc. And I am careful not to click the wrong button. But I must respect the professionalism of those who wish to make me. it is their business so I must accept the possibility.
I have googled SEXBOX and gotten little save to say that some say it is a Sony name. I could not verify that.
It is not there now. it could have been someone else logged in with a fun named machine. It has gone now. Concerned though and would like to know if anyone has come across the same.
I just got a new Samsung RC420 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium edition OS. When I was installing a software last night, a message pops up and tells me I cannot continue installation until I close a certain program (in this case it was Adobe Updater, which was not opened at all).Today, I am trying to open "my briefcase" from a USB thumb, but a message pops up telling me I cannot open "my briefcase" as it appears a file in it is already open. But nothing else is open on my computer. It was my first time opening anything from the USB thumb.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just recently started using my new Thinkpad with Windows 7 installed. Since late this morning a strange icon has appeared on the right side of the screen, whatever program I am running. It looks to be about 10% of the vertical size of the screen, is fixed, is a black rounded square and contains an arrow head pointing up standing on a narrow base outlined in white. The arrow head contains a capital A with a backward slash over it, and the slash extends out of the arrow head at the top. What this might mean, and how I can remove it?

View 6 Replies View Relatedmy computer is running Windows 7 - 64 bit 3gb. 14 months old.About 5 days ago it started running very slow, programmes were not responding. My hard disc is not a quarter full and I have checked that discs don't require fragmenting. Icons on the task bar disappear and I get black screens. Start up is ok, but shutting down is slow. I mentioned to my son that windows photo gallery live, is particularly slow at loading (at most I only have about 250 pics in) but to my horror, when he had a look, he clicked on the "video's" and there are literally 10,000 pics or icons (for instance dozens of ebay icons - Nero Icons - AOL icons and many others) that I know nothing about. When the problem first started I did a manual AVG full scan which showed 350 warning, 43 potentially dangerous objects - all the warning were tracking cookies through Firefox. I only look at facebook with Firefox and 2 days ago a manual full scan revealed 45 warnings with about 6 potentially dangerous objects, tracking cookies.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently started working with Windows 7 and I haven�t figured out yet how to set a folder to select files to download.When I go to a web form and I want to upload files from my hard drive, in all previous versions of Windows that I worked with, I used to select once the desired folder, pick a file to upload and for all subsequent file uploads, pressing the "Examin" or "Select file" button would take me to the same folder, saving me a lot of mouse clicks if I manually need to upload several files.Since I switched to Windows 7 everytime I want to upload a file, it takes me to the Documents Library and I need to navigate to the desired folder again.

Other info (that may be important?): I recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. This 2nd 86x program folder was also on my Vista install. I upgraded using the method here to create the windows .old folder process... and that 2nd 86x folder installed into my C drive automatically. (I also used the HP upgrade assistant as directed by HP.
It really drives me crazy that I don't know why I have 2 of these folders. Doesn't seem to cause any issues at all, but wanted to get advice/opinion as to why I have 2 of these and if I'll ever run into issues because of it.

My computer came with Internet Explore already installed, but I use only Firefox and Safari. So, I wanted to uninstall IE. But after I did that, I was looking through my program files, and the IE file folder was still in there. So, I tried to delete it but it said I needed permission from "TrustedInstaller". So, I gave full permission to myself but it still didn't work. Then I downloaded LockHunter and it said that the file folder was unlocked but when I went to it, it said that I still didn't have permission to delete. Then I thought that if I opened the IE file folder, I could delete the stuff in it one-by-one but I only got to delete 13 out of 27 items. I closed the file folder and tried to delete all again in the hope that I deleted something that would unlock this option for the IE file folder but it didn't. I then downloaded Unlocker but when I clicked on it to start it up, it wouldn't open. Finally, I added "Take Ownership" to my Explorer right-click menu, and that worked. But now it says, "Folder In Use: The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program." So I opened Task Manager and looked but no .exe or .dll or anything else pertaining to the IE file folder was running. Sometimes when I get this message I can restart my computer and it will work but it didn't do anything this time. I'm running out of ways that I know how to fix this. I usually don't need to ask questions, especially ones so long-winded, about computers but I'm feeling kind of lost here.
There is one specific folder in the Documents library, which when opened directly (like from a shortcut on the dekstop) only shows "corrupted" files with unusable strings for all file names and extensions.However, when opened in tree view, the files appear as they should. So at least it's reassuring that the folder contents are still there and can properly be read and changed. But the issue is still inconvenient and worrisome.I have already tried chkdsk /f on the partition and even mirrored the whole volume to a new harddrive, but that didn't help. I also tried copying the whole folder to another location, it shows up just fine that way as well.
