Oct 29, 2007I re-installed XP after having a mal-ware/spy-ware issue. The problem is my machine no longer recognizes my DVD players properly.
Both work working fine prior to the re-install. Now neither will recognize a CD-ROM (I have enabled CD-recording) and neither will burn a DVD. Further, one of them is listed under Explorer as a CD-ROM rather than a DVD-ROM.
I have tried delete both from device manager and having XP reinstall them on start up but no luck.
Disc Wiped Out Dvd Players
Feb 5, 2009I wanted to download additional content from the XP installation disc. I selected add digital media from choices and clicked the button. It started analyzing the system then suddenly started deleting a whole slug of files. It finished and rebooted, after which neither of my dvd drives would recognize discs. Windows media player was gone too. Both player models show up on the add hardware list in control panel. I wrote down the models and downloaded drivers for one of them and it wouldn't install them because it said the drive wasn't present. The "add new hardware" said the same thing, though it was on the list.

May 23, 2010I am experiencing a strange problem when attempting to uninstall programs from Control Panel --> Add / Remove programs. When I attempt to uninstall a program, the corresponding programs "uninstaller", asks for a network resource. Here is an example screen shot of what I am seeing when I attempt to uninstall Ad Aware: It doesn't seem to matter what I am attempting to uninstall. In all of the uninstall scenarios that I have seen Add / Remove programs asks for an MSI file with a similar name to the program that I am attempting to uninstall.

Aug 3, 2008I've reinstalled XP and some icons are missing from the "Start"/"all programs" menu. Both Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are missing. I was able to locate them using "search" then open and pin to start menu. (The search function displays i.e. shortcuts for "administrator", "guest" and the other user, but not for me. The icons do display on the "all programs" list for the other user). Any suggestions as to how to get them back on the "all programs" menu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUninstalling "Ghost Programs" Or Programs That Do Not Really Exist.
Sep 27, 2007How can a program that is not even present on my C-drive (but once was) appear in the control panel when I open "Add or Remove Programs"? My registry is somehow holding onto this old program even though it does not really exist on my C-drive. I am trying to reinstall the program properly but when I finish the installation, Windows XP will not let me open it! It says my file path is invalid, apparently a reference to the "ghost version" of the program that I cannot get rid of! So my question is: how can I get my registry to realize that the program is GONE so that I can reinstall it successfully

Feb 18, 2010I just stumbled on this website while looking for a solution to my problem with Norton Ghost. Another problem that I am having is: When I go to add/remove programs, there are NO programs. The message says to wait while the list is being populated but nothing ever shows up. From what I have read, it sounds like a registry problem but I don't have a clue how to fix it. Microsoft's answer is way over my head. I tried registry mechanic but that didn't help.

Jan 19, 2009My home desktop computer (runnin on Windows XP) hasn't worked properly in awhile. It seems the only program that will run is Internet Explorer (version 6.0).I don't really use this computer; it's mostly my younger sister and my mom...and of course neither one bothers to tell me when it started to act up. I can access the control panel, but really, there isn't a whole lot I can do once I get there. I can't access add/remove programs, user accounts, date and time, etc.I'm sure it's virus filled...but I can't even run my Norton software. I would like to not have to spend like $300 for someone to come in and fix my computer.

Can't get into the registry, msconfig or command prompt.If you try and run something you get the message:This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.This link looked promising, but I couldn't do any of the things it suggested, renaming regedit.exe to regedit.com and you still couldn't run regedit.com from the run prompt.
