Cookies- Did't Retains Info After Applications Are Closed
Sep 5, 2005
A virus problems that have been sorted professionally and I now have up to date anti-virus, adware and firewall software.
Computer was 'cleaned' it no longer retains info after applications are closed. This particularly relates to web pages where settings for individual sites are not saved after closure.This was the job of 'cookies'. I have my settings to allow cookies to be installed. Is it safer not to have such settings saved
I am running Win XP service pack 1 and have been putting off installing service pack 2 until today. I have made a backup of my system and proceeded to instal sp2.
The install process fails fairly early on with the message:
The file c:windowsapppatchdrvmain.sdb is open or in use by another program.
Bought new game software and ready to install. Placed disc in drive and bang, within seconds receive an error message reading: an error has occurred while running setup. Please make sure you have finished any previous setups and closed other applications..." Then the details of this Error 5003 goes as follows:
Error Code:-5003 : 0x5 Error Information: >SetupDLLSetupDLL.cpp (1964) PAPP:Star Wars? Knights of the Old Republic? II: The Sith Lords(TM) PVENDOR:LucasArts PGUID:629F65FB-7F3C-4D66-A1C0-20722744B7B6 $10.0.0.159 @Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) IE 6.0.2900.2180
Now, to make a long story short...Did a safe boot...nothing...closed all running applications and software using task manager when doing so..(closing anti-virus, firewalls disabled and spyware detectors and all). still nothing. Updated ATI driver...nothing.........
I use XP Home, SP2. When I try to read the NYTimes online, I am asked for my id and password again and again. I have checked the box indicating windows should remember my info. It happens also with some other sites, but not all.
I like to weekly, or so, delete all cookies. This seems fine except that it also removes log-in info for sites such as B of A. I have to re-enter certain items. can I remove the cookies yet save certain ones that I frequently need to reuse?
Using XP Pro SP2.Windows explorer doesn't show c:documents and settings/jdl/cookies folder when opened from the start->programs menu.However, Start->Run with c:documents and settingsjdlcookies typed in opens the folder. Folder options->View has the "Show hidden folders" option checked.I do not have the windows xp disk since the program was loaded from a corporate server several years ago. I no longer work for that company.Any assistance would be appreciated. Not a big deal since I can access the folder. It may, however, indicate that other problems are afoot. I discovered this when Counterspy Ver. 2 Beta identified the cookie from CNET Networks, Inc., and I couldn't find it in Windows Explorer.
When I turn on my computer, I get a message that says explorer.exe has closed down and when I try to start Task Manager, it closes that, too. I'm on the computer right now, but I'm using an Ubuntu Live CD.
I want to be able to make my pci internal modem (com3) dial a phone number and remain connected when i close the dos window then open a program that will talk directly to com3.Closest i can come is "echo atdt >com3" When i tried "echo adt0,12345 > com3" still no dial tone or off hook operation just a click.
Since, two days ago, I'm dealing with this problem. When I'm trying to re-open Explorer.exe, it closed automaticaly and then restart and closed again .I have an updated Panda antivirus, CA Yahoo! Anti-Spyware, and a Microsoft Windows XP Mediacenter 2005 that recently (after that the problem occurs) updated from the Update.Microsoft.com.I've checked my system with panda, and norton AV, but they didn't detect any viruses or anything else.
On my Toshiba laptop running W-XP SP2 it keeps getting 'locked up'. It locks up on shut down, booting, and launching programs. I had to wipe out my hard disk because I had to use the recover disk that came with this Toshiba junk Right now it is locked up with the Spysweeper screen up an the error message is "THIS PROGRAM CANNOT BE CLOSED BECAUSE IT IS LOCKED BY THE SYSTEM"!!! Got that when I did Ctrl/Alt/Del. When it locks on shut down I get same message, and same when locks on boot. Only way out seems to be UNPLUG!!! I've already lost everything anyways so it don't matter. Is this a TOSHIBA issue or a W-XP Home Edition SP2 issue?
My msconfig, task manager and my device manager do not stay open. I have already copied and renamed my msconfig and my task manager so I can view them but I would like my computer to be back to normal. Below is my hijack log.
I am having trouble with my temp files. I have it fixed that they are suppose to dump on their own when the browser is closed but not only is it not doing that, it is not deleting when I do it manually. I will delete the temp files and cookies, and go out and open it back up and there they are! My avg says I am virus free.
Generic Host Process for WIN32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.Seems many people are getting this error message. I've seen that both audio drivers and HP drivers may be to blame. Seen solutions for WIA and DEP changes and also to download the latest .NET framework.Error occurs for me after reboot (always) typically accompanied by a "Error The instruction at "xxxxxxxx" referenced memory at "xxxxxxxxx". The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program.
When I close a program the desktop icon remains highlighted, until I mouse click elsewhere on the desktop. This only presents a real problem when I log off of my dial up server and the icon remains highlighted. If I forget to un-highlight it, my phone won't ring, although my answering machine will pick up the call.

Several PCs of my LAN including the Server has this problem this week, like a virus.
I installed a Hotfix from Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894391 for windows XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 but this issue still bothering me.
My OS is Wind. XPPro with Internet Explore 6.0 SP2 (Upgraded) I tried to get some additional pages from a web, but instead I had a notice that my computer does not have the necessary cookies
I have always stayed away from the Cookies files. I just downloaded CCleaner and ran analyze and it listed many cookie files to delete. I have hundreds and hundreds of cookies in my system. What is your thinking on deleting the files CCleaner showed
When I try to "select all delete" my cookies I get the following drop down. I can delete them one at a time but I have over fifty. How can I delete all except "index"?
system is set to automatically delete cookies. There's a couple of cookies I would like to keep permanently short of manual selective deletion, is there a way to protect them from deletion ?
When the cookies box pops up and I reject it, then sometimes I can't use the website. Well I went and added one of the websites to my privacy thing and clicked always allow but it still won't allow it. It is very annoying and I want to be able to use certain websites. Why isn't it working
when I go to the "My Weather" page it does not come up.(I get the old"cannot find server" page) I have been told this has to do with my "cookie" settings. How can I change my setting so that I may access this page again?
Am trying to clean out cookies, when done I get an index file that says there are 160kb in file that I cannot access.How do I access these to see what is there? It also says another program is usin this file and that I cannot access the file.
I try logging on to The TGforumz and it says my cookies must be on, so I assum that they are, try loggin in, it says you must restore cookies back to default setting or turn them on.how do I do That
