View 10 RepliesSometime over the past couple of weeks, I started having a number of files on my C:/ drive which would not open. I wrote another forum and got some advice, and did some studying, and for some I was able to take back permissions and found what looked like a phony user account hidden way down in Documents and Settings.
Today I found close to 2/3 of my files would not display, of the types, htm and html, jpg, png, and doc files. I went to check permissions and the security tab was not under Properties.
I have tried everything: I have re-installed Windows, I have run every virus and adware and spyware scan and repair known, and have constantly cleaned the registry and used HiJack this which did show two programs called Voodoo and Banshee which were not mine.
I had Windows XP Pro SP2 installed, and then i did the huuuge mistake to install Vista Ultimate. Got annoyed and reinstalled XP Pro SP3.I backed up my files before goin back to XP on an external HD. And when I copied back the files to the pc I saw, to my horror, that everything looked ok. But when I try to open text documents, it's just garbled text. Looks like this.Every single document looks like that, rtf files, txt files, word documents and so on. And I've tried to open them and converting to different codings in word and so on (UTF, ANSII and what not). Nothing works.And then I saw, when I was gonna import my bookmarks in Firefox that I saved before I went back to XP from Vista, that those html files also are full of garbled text
I looked around on google, and can't find anything about it I would greatly appreciate some help. Every single text document, which is quite a few, is messed up. And some of them, I didnt even open in Vista.. So don't know if it's because of Vista or if its something else.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSome USB things work fine- others not at all (but work on other computers.) My XP machine has always worked fine in recognizing USB devices-- but recently did not recognize my scanner and two USB thumb drives (one brand new and one I've had for a couple years). The Thumb drives and scanner work fine on other computers.
he same machine uses a USB mouse and a USB connection to my printer (Brother HL-1440). They continue to work fine. I noticed it first with the scanner- It worked fine before New Year-- but not since. Then tried Thumb drives and recognized the same pattern. (Again, they work fine on other computers).Is it possible that Plug-n-Play is broken? With XP the drives are �built-in� and have always recognized Thumb drives (or external hard drives, etc). I did try uninstalling the driver for the Scanner and installing it again- to no avail.

I cannot change the picture, only the color that I set for icon backgrounds. That sounds kind of confusing but I don't know how else to word it. Anyway, anyone have any ideas on how I can get my background picture back?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy laptop (windows XP pro) prompts me on start up to press ctlr+alt+del before it allows me to put my username and password to access windows. Now when i press ctrl-alt-del nothing happens so i cant get to the box to enter my log on details and get into windows... This is what I have tried
1. different ctrl-alt-del methods (only one del button so i am assuming that del is broken)
2. plugged in USB keyboard but it wont work (there are no PS2 ports on laptop to use either). I am guessing since windows isnt initiated then USB ports wont respond
4. booting in Safe mode doesnt bypass the ctrl-alt-del screen
5. tried installing a new laptop keyboard but too difficult to get out
6. tried XP recovery but i cant press numbers to select 1:Windows XP so im guessin the number keys dont work either

As you may know if you try to end the prcoess it just keeps re opening.So I went looking on google for a solution and I came to another forum. This guy had the exact same problem I had and someone posted the solution.It all seemed quite technical so I thought the guy knew what he was up to.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Linksys WMP54GX Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SRX. It worked fine, but now the driver is broken, and I can't uninstall or reinstall it.I need to fully wipe it from my registry, harddrive, et al, in order to do a fresh install. I am somewhat computer literate, but still a bit wary of fiddling with the registry without knowing exactly what I am doing.Thought I should add that the bundled software uninstall doesn't work, nor does the Device Manager's. When I attempt to uninstall from the device manager, I get a message like "failed to uninstall, device may be required to boot". I need a manual removal.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a windows XP box with SP 3. Once booted into Windows I immediately start getting Windows Installer trying to install something. Clearly there is a failed installation in there that windows installer keeps trying to install but can't. When try to intall something new I get the "This happens with windows in running in safe mode or windows installer is installed incorrectly" message. I tried installing windows installer 3.1, but it tells me it is already installed and quits. I tried installing the Windows Intaller Cleanup program that RProffit linked to, but then I get the windows installer is broken message and it can't install. Seems like I am in for a reformat and reload?

I was out of town all week; however, while using our PC Mon evening, a loud clunk noise from the tower; the screen went black; and when the screen came back up, everything was stretched out horizontally and concave.
Hubby tried booting it up it did come up with the image all broken into blocks and stretched horizontally and concave.
Sometimes my sound is ok , but somtimes my sound sounds really bad , even the normal "click" sound of opening a folder or closing a file sound like a broken spring , like a sound in slow motion twauonnnng and the music just very laggy and cant understand the lirics or even the music itself Now this is reflecting in the performance of my computer , its appears to in my games , suddenly the sounds of my steps or my sword swing or the shot of my gun , starts sounding as mentioned above in slow motion.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop that I just got my hands on, it's a Dell Inspiron 8200, has windows XP Pro (service pack 2) on it. I need to reformat it, however, the cd drive doesnt really work anymore (this is the second cd drive its had). I would rather not spend money on a cd drive or anything, and was wondering if there was anyway to use a boot disk to format it, then if there was any way to install network drivers and use a network to install windows. That at least is my present theory of how to go about this, but I'm not sure if it's even possible, and I'm searching around online right now.
