When I would launch the video editor Vegas application an error prompt is introduced saying the following: "C:WINDOWSSYSTEMS32AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and microsoft application. Choose 'close' to terminate the application.
View 1 RepliesFor the past 2-3 days, I am facing a wierd problem. When launching any program in Windows XP SP2 ( be it wither IE or Word or Excel), a COMMAND WINDOW Opens up and remains open till the application is shut down. Closing the Window also closes that application. I have Mcafee Anitvirus which is kept Current and I use SpyBot S&D for Adware and Malware removal. Here is the commands that appear in the Window and these are pretty much same for any application.
:certgr >> LibMain: DLL_Process_Attach, hinstDLL=0
:certgr >> DLLRegisterServer called
:certgr >> DLLRegisterServer: crypt32 found, installing cert hooks....

View 2 Replies View Relatedhelp me stop IE7 from launching on start up and system reboot. I have already checked my processes, can't find anything related there. Checked my startup folder, nothing there either. Ran the MsConfig and can't find the problem there either. I even ran a full virus check and found nothing. This just started happening a few days ago. I find this very annoying since I don't always want to browse the Internet.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a wireless mouse for my PC, previously I had a wired mouse which plugged into a round green socket on the back of my base unit. The new mouse goes into a usb port. Whenever I try to launch my PC with the new mouse receiver plugged into the USB port my computer freezes up on a screen which says Acer. If I launch the PC without the receiver plugged in everything works fine and then I am able to plug it in and use the mouse.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows XP. For the past 2 days, whenever I launch Internet Explorer (version 6) or the Control Panel, the Windows Installer launches first with a "preparing to install" message. This message will display for 2 minutes or so and then the Internet Explorer or Control panel window will be displayed. This is extremely annoying. Occasionally, when I attempt to print from Internet Explorer, the Windows Installer will also launch first and behave the same way. I have spent a day searching for a solution and the only thing I have found so far is a reference to a Windows Installer Cleanup utility

i am running winxp service pack 2. having big problems with the computer at startup, it automatically launches programs lots of times eg 120 versions of iexplorer, hovering over my documents opens all documents at once, the computer is generally unstable until i have manually deleted all the programs running one by one, it starts to settle down and run ok. i have done all the usual virus,spyware, trojan scans etc - all clean. I'm worried that it could be more serious than a virus or malware.

I deleted and reinstalled the program and the same thing happened during the installation process. I downloaded a free picture editor (Faststone) and the same thing is happeneing. I also had lockups using the add/remove programs in control panel.

View 14 Replies View RelatedMy normal screen res is 1400x1050, but when I launch a full-screen game (the Sims 2 or Lego Racers...), the game makes itself 800x600, in the middle of my screen, surrounded by black. I never had this problem until I connected my computer up to a projector a few months ago and had to use the "multiple monitors" function. I'm worried it's just a simple thing that never got set back right in the display properties, but I don't know enough about that region of my computer to find it.

I just realized a handy way to launch my favorites would be using the start menu. Only thing is that it launches in the same window that's open. Any way to get it to launch in a separate window. I am hoping that from reading about IE7, this will solve itself once you have tabbed browsing (eliminating the need for New IE window>Favorites>selection), but for now is thereanything I can do? Right clicking doesn't show me an open in new window unfortunately, so I don't know what else to try.

Can someone please tell me how can I launch throughout a work station a program that is installed in a server?
In other words, I need to install all mt programs in a server and only launch on my work station so I do not corrupt the server and I don't have to reinstall all programs on a new work station.
Thank you very, very much.
I have XP SP2. Can I change settings so that when I launch Windows Explorer the "folders" pane/panel opens automatically?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have started facing a strange problem recently. I re-installed windows 2000 and tried SP2 and ie6 updates but problem still persists.On pressing key "L" anywhere, it launches outlook express as a side-effect. This is true even when some other application is open and in focus. The opened window shows inbox folder in place of default home screen of outlook express. I have noticed that in folders pane in outlook express, pressing L selects Local Folder and pressing it again selects Inbox. However, in this case the window with inbox is opened out of nowhere. I tried by deleting files from profile that may cause this (Like shortcuts) and also checked with a new user but in vain. One thing I have observed is that when I use on-screen keyboard, L key is working fine. This makes me think that it is not a shortcut recognized by explorer. I checked keyboard with other operating system in my dual-boot configuration and it is working fine there.
