I downloaded a trail version of "Photoshop Elements 6.0" I also downloaded a program that said it would unlock the trail. I knew better, but DL'd anyway. I opened it and now I'm royally screwed.
I went into safe mode and did a virus scan. It detected 3 viruses and quar' them. I tried to do a Sys' Restore however the only date/time it has is the date/time when the problems started
Is there a conflict between Windows XPSP2 and Photoshop elements 3.0?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the free trial version of the System Booster that is supposed to be part of the new version of XP (I think?).Does anybody know about this? Is it legitimate? It seemed to be. I have noticed a small increase in overall speed of loading programs and apps, but it could be my wishful imagination.

First please bear in mind that this ole lady is like a kindergartner in the school of computers.I've been getting booted off usually a "windows has encountered a problem, and needs to shut down to prevent damage to your computer" screen comes up......but not always.lso, I'll get booted off and a blue screen comes on with message. When this happens, I push the button to restart and it'll come back on, but sometimes I'll hear clicking sounds and the blue screen will come back. It also will just lock up occasionally.

View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday, my computer crashed, and it's left me unable to boot Windows XP (SP2), either normally or in Safe Mode. The root of the problem, I've gathered, is SPTD.sys, which is for some reason choosing now to present me with boot difficulties. The problem I have is, since I cannot access Windows XP in any mode, how can I tell BIOS to simply not load this file? From what I gather, it's used for Daemon Tools, which I no longer use, so it wouldn't adversely affect anything, correct?

Ever since I bought my laptop (Acer Aspire 5930G), I have been getting blue screens (BSODs) that seem to be linked with the Intel wireless network adapter that came pre-installed in it. Whenever the WiFi is turned on from the button on the front of the laptop, a BSOD will appear at a random point in time (usually, between a few minutes and a few days after it has been switched on), regardless of whether I am actually connected to a WLAN network or not. On average, I get a BSOD every other day or so. If the WiFi is turned off from the button, then no BSOD ever appears.
The error codes that the BSODs indicate vary, these are just some of what I have received:
- 0x0000007f (0x00000008, 0xbab30d70, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
- 0x0000007f (0x00000008, 0xb8330d70, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
- 0x0000007f (0x00000008, 0x80042000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
- 0x100000d1 (0xa483a671, 0x00000002, 0x00000008, 0xa483a671)
After analysing some of the minidumps generated by the BSODs with WinDbg, the following files were indicated as possible culprits, all of them having to do with Internet connectivity (Intel driver of firewall):
- NETw5x32.sys
- fwdrv.sys
- NDIS.sys....
I've installed a fresh copy of XP x64 recently but am being constantly interupted by blue screen errors.I've used driver agent to check for updated drivers, and all (according to this site) are current. there is no pattern to the blue screens. happens with one program open, sometimes no programs (at night). sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after several hours.

So I do a windows repair.Some help, but then I was getting blue screens.So i spend many hours between safemode and what not trying to save data to a cd so i can do a fresh install.I do a fresh install, and windows hangs on the install. Several times. When it does finish, i get blue screens for thinks like Generic host process for win32 LSA shell.I tried the internet using exploring, it would would always cause the computer to reboot, just a matter of how long I got before it did.I got firefox installed on 3 try, but it had same issues.SO, I did chkdsk /p, it finds more than 1 error. I do a chkdsk /r and retry my computer, same issues. I do a Hard Disk scan from MY Computer, properties of c drive, tools check both boxes there and restart. still had problems after that.I download my Hard Disk utility program, and have it do its thing, including a surface scan that took an hour.So then I figure it must have been the fresh install hang. I do a format using the Hard Disk utility, take 6hrs. So I start a fresh install this morning, and during the install, I get the blue screen it says Stop: 0x00000024 So after all that, is it a BIOS issue?The mobo had 1 step lower than the most recent bios version according to the Asrock website. SHould I install a new bios?If I do a flash and install, I can do the most recent and it will cover all the previous versions, correct?

I'm thinking here, the obvious problem is that I took a Windows XP installation and changed all the hardware on it and it didn't have the drivers for it. I attempted to run the recovery console from a Windows XP installation disc and it asked me for the administrator password. The drivers are on the XP disc somewhere, I would like to know how to install them manually (using a Linux boot disc to move files from the XP installation disc to the hard drive)

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly sure this is a hardware problem because I previously had Vista (the problem started some time after I installed it) and have since reformatted and gone back to XP, and it's still happening regularly. Quite often an hour or two after the PC's been switched on (although the time seems completely random), it will crash to a BSOD with one of the following errors:
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
And less frequently, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT will come up. But the PC can sometimes run for 24 hours straight without it happening. It's extremely random. I have reset all settings in my BIOS to default and there are no options to disable shadowing/caching. I've got 2gb of RAM (2x1gb) and I've done memtest twice, and it did 2 or 3 passes each time and had no errors. I've also tried each possible combination of RAM, e.g. using module 1 in slot 1, module 2 in slot 1, module 2 in slot 2, etc. It did it just now with the following error details:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x00000050

I've been receiving repeated blue screen errors with the DRVMCDB.SYS file referenced in it. It typically only happens when I have to reboot my computer for some reason (or decide to shut it down and then restart it). I know the file relates to my Sonic Solutions hardward/software for my cd drive in some form due to the Windows Error Reporting message of:Problem caused by Sonic Solutions CD/DVD Recording Software Component (DRVMCDB.SYS).I've already gone to the Sonic website and made sure I updated all drivers and stuff like that I could find. I just don't know what else to do and it constantly happening is beginning to make me worry.
View 14 Replies View RelatedEver since I'd built my computer, I have been getting errors in internet explorer. These would pop up at completely random intervals (although it seemed to be more often when I loaded intensive pages). They would take the guise of problems that are all attributed to many things. mshtml.dll, ntdll.dll, wininet.dll, and a few other .dll files have been the error causing agents in the "more info" on the error popup. I have also had many blue screen errors such as bad pool caller, irql not less or equal, and page fault in_nonpaged area, to name a few
When I started getting these errors, I tried to look them up, but I found several different reasons for errors. Many errors had different problems such as various installed components, leading my to believe that it was a RAM error. I bought a PNY stick at BB and swapped it. Still got the errors. I then returned the PNY stick and bought an ULTRA X-Connect PSU. I tested it again, and I still got the same errors. Then, a new devvelopment occurred. I tried doing a repair install, but it errored halfway through, saying that a certain file could not be copied
I've had my computer since Christmas of last year. It's a pretty nice rig, lots of nice stuff in it. I'll start out with the first problem I've had with it. My DVD drive: it just disappears. I'll be running fine one minute, then the next my computer will freeze for a few seconds, then it's fine, then it'll freeze again, then it's fine. Then I take a look at my list of drives, and my DVD drive isn't on the list. I can still see my two hard drives, but not my DVD drive. This wasn't a HUGE issue to me; I figured I would just have to deal with not being able to install games or watch movies on my computer.So then, after trying to troubleshoot this issue for quite some time, I decide to completely power off my PC, including turning it off with the switch in the back. After waiting a few minutes, I flip the switch, and I hear the sound of something sparking and frying. "That's odd," I think to myself, but try to turn my computer on anyway. No response. I mash the power button but it just won't turn on. Turns out my power supply was fried. "Alright," I said. "I'll just go upgrade." But my dad disagreed and simply purchased one that was roughly equivalent to the one I currently had. Oh well, it's served me fine so far.
Recently, my problems have been getting worse. We tried reinstalling Windows, thinking that might fix the DVD drive. My dad hands me this "custom" CD with Windows and SP2 installed, and since he's likely to start screaming and spitting if I don't do his bidding, I installed with this CD. I am not sure if this was a mistake or not, but I'm thinking it was.Recently my computer has been locking and freezing at random intervals, usually while I'm playing World of Warcraft, though it also has happened at least twice while I'm just playing around on the computer, browsing the internet, ETC. The other day I was playing WoW and a bluescreen popped up. Here's the technical information, or whatever it is.
its a FX7026. I had to replace the motherboard and am trying to install XP on it, but after loading all the install drivers it blue screens. I have installed a trial vista on it to make sure it isn't just a problem with the computer and it installs fine, but when I try XP it keeps popping a blue screen.
