About 2 days ago after installing an upgrade for IE8 and restarting it, my taskbar and desktop have disappeared. Luckily I accessed the task manager window and tried to use the System Restore option, but instead I get a message saying something about 'iertutil.dll'missing. I tried installing and moving 'iertutil.dll' to the system32 folder, and now I get this message saying 'the ordinal 56 could not be located in the dynamic link library 'iertutil.dll'.
I have a win xp sp2. after installing ie7, i got a blank desk top with iertutil.dll missing. now i can only access through task manager. get messages ordinal 173 not found in---, ordinal 313 not found --, explorer not found. even if i try to remove ie, it does not get removed.
It all happened 2 days ago on my Compaq Presario R3000 laptop when I decided to uninstall the newest version of Internet Explorer 7. Because I didn't like Internet Explorer and all the stuff I heard about it containing some bugs, I decided to uninstall it.So I went through Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs and searched for Internet Explorer 7. I clicked on the one that only said "Internet Explorer 7" and it took me to this uninstalling phase.
It then warned me that most programs would "freak out" if I have done so by uninstalling Internet Explorer 7. So I decided to ignore it and take the risk, a risk that I was going to pay very soon.It took a few minutes of deleting the files and stuff, then I had to reboot, upon logging on to my account this error message pops up stating: "This application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
windows loads and everything but when its done the only thing i get is the wallpaper, no START button no programs, seconds later i get a message that says explorer.exe couldnt start iertutil.dll was not found ,, is there anyway i can fix this i dont have the manufacturers cd windows came pre-installed on my laptop.
I installed internet explorer 7. But i didnt like it so i tried going back to internet explorer 6, But then i stated giving me a error like "iertutil.dll is missing" So i googled it.After reading about other people havING the same problem as me, I found out that i can download iertutil.dll from www.down-dll.com and copied it to cwindowssystem32.Before i done this my desktop was gone..But after doing this my desktop have reapperied however im still having a problem. Every time I try to open a program or do somethinG i get this erroe message "The ordinal 56 could not be located in the dynamic link library iertutil.dll". I would be happy to reinstall windows but I have lost the CD.
Windows XP. I already have a current anti virus - the ESET NOD32 Antivirus. My room mate who isnt familiar with sanity (Hehehe), installed Kaspersky. When she restarted, it hangs. You can only move your mouse cursor and that's it. When you try to click the Start Menu the mouse icon changes to processing (the hour glass icon) and forever remains like that. Nor can I display the Task Manager - mouse cursor still displays the everlasting hour glass icon.
When I got home and tried to boot the pc (it is a desktop computer by the way. not a laptop), it still hangs like crazy. So, I reboot, went to SAFE MODE and did the SYSTEM RESTORE, date before the Kaspersky installation. And it didnt work (obviously since I am here in this forum posting my problem). Computer still hangs like crazy and this time, it doesnt show any desktop icon. I didn't get mad with my roomate since I see no point of it. :P So, I just want this resolve. My last resort will be to reformat my Windows Drive C: but I am not ready to say farewell to some of my softwares that I have no soft copy.
I have a amd64 200 with 1GB RAM and 80 GB HD running xp home edition sp2. around may, sp3 tried to install a number of times but failed. After reading the info about how to install sp3, I did so and it completed!
The system worked for about 2 hours and then a 'MACHINE_EXCEPTION' error. I uninstalled sp3 and no more machine_exception errors! now, the anti-virus software started finding infections in windows,windowssystem32, even 'System Volume Information'
I install Server 2003 Standard SP1 downloaded and installed on a PII 400, 256Mb RAM with IIS, ASP.Net 2.0, SQL server 2000 SP4, Mysql 5, and PHP5, and all without a single hitch...too good to be true. I went ahead and tried on what will be my server PIII600, 512 MB RAM, First try, Server 2003 couldn't find a file when installing, retried and it worked. Downloaded SP1 and when I was extracting it said "file is corrupt", downloaded 4 more times with same result. reformatted and reinstalled 5 more times and cannot get past "file is corrupt" on SP1 and sometimes extracting the .Net 2.0 installer got the same error. I swap all hardware with PC from first try (except RAM, Mobo, CPU, CDROM) with no change. Win98 and XP installed fine on the second PC just can't get server 2003
I recently installed xp for the first time after replacing motherboard and CPU.I skipped setup because I didn't know what I was doing. Now I can't boot up (cold or warm) without using the original disk. Can I just go into setup and change boot settings without re-installing.Is there anything else I should know before I attempt to fix this problem? I am tired of using the disk every time I update something or install new program.
I have an Hp computer that is really old and is pretty much junk but I bought a Mac now and I need XP for a website for work. Is their a way to take the copy of XP on the HP computer and run it in parallels on my mac. I there is how do I do it.
I moved my HD that has XP Pro installed on it to a new computer. XP boots but it comes up with a "must activate" screen. I select 'Yes' then afet a short delay it comes up with "windows already activated". I click 'OK' then 'logon screen' comes on. Click on my login icon and windows goes back to "must activate screen' again. It's vicious circle.
searched previous forums for similar issues, and saw others complaining of moving cursors while typing. The only response I saw to this was maybe the pressure on the touch pad from wrist was causing. Not the case with me.On 10/30/07 I had (i believe) a backdoor trojan creep in. I have since removed and fixed all errors (allegedly) the only lingering glitch is that while typing, (Word, Powerpt, Search bars, etc.) the cursor repositions itself either ahead or behind my typing. This is making my work take twice as long! This happens at either fast or slow typing speeds. It really is frustrating.To be a little more specific, the movement of the cursor is not visible. It happens between flashes. One flash, it is before the next letter; with the next flash of the cursor it is behind by a paragraph (or more or less).
I am using WIn XP at work using a dial-up method to get on the Internet and to access Emails. However.this is not ideal when it comes to WIndows Updates and Anti-Virus Updates and the dial-up is labourourly slow(.as you all know!!).I am way behind in the updates and would take for-ever to catch up.I have Broadband at home on my own PC and am wondering can I just unplug my Work PC and plug it in at home and down load the Updates overnight via the Broadband. The next morning I will unplug again and carry into work and reconnect. I will then ensure that I stay updated with a daily logon to the Update sites.
I am interested in moving my Documents & Settings to their own partition. I Have Western Digital 80 gig & 40 gig drives. I have researched all The pro & cons of doing this and have decided to try it.
My daughter bought a new computer (DELL with WIN XP) She asked me to take the files from her old (hardly working) computer, which had WIN 98, and get them onto the new computer.This didn't prove as easy as it sounded. The floppy drive didn't work on the old one, and no CD burner.I zipped the folders and mailed them to her Yahoo email (which can be openned on my computer and her new one), then openned and unzipped them on MINE and burned them on a cd.This worked good, but the FAVORITES folder couldn't be burned on a cd, it kept saying the file names (urls) were too long and if burned it wouldn't work after.So, I left that unzipped in her email. Today, she unzipped it, and (as I suggested) copied and pasted the folders/url links from the old favorites folder into the new one. This works, they open in the folder (in MY DOCS) but they don't show on the desktop, like START>FAVORITES I think in XP there is a different way of showing this (I haven't looked at it much and have never used anything over 98SE, myself).Anyway, is there a way of getting the favorites (urls and those in folders) into the favorites on the new (XP) computer so they show up like the new ones she is putting in? I looked in google and one place said to export the old FAVORITES folder to a floppy (I couldn't do, it didn't work) and then IMPORT it in the new one.If it has to be imported (and not dragged, or copy/pasted) can't it be imported from the unzipped folder or somewhere else?
Is it too late to save on a floppy (from the unzipped folder on the new computer) and import it, if it has to be done that way? I have been thinking of it like fonts. you can install fonts, but you can also unzip them and drag them into the fonts folder and they seem to go in and work just as well.Can favorites (links) be dragged or copy/pasted into the FAVORITES folder on the new computer and have them show up in FAVORITES on the desktop? Maybe it has to be shut down and restarted first? Maybe I'm missing something. I've never done this before, but putting the old FAVORITES in the new FAVORITES folder seemed like it would work.The original files/folders have been deleted from the old computer. They are in Yahoo mail as a zip file and can be unzipped and are all there. Can they be exported to a floppy from there? Then imported into the Favorites folder, if it has to be done that way?
I have recently recieved a new computer, and I need to transfer the files of off my old computer. I know windows XP has a file transfer wizzard, but I don't have the serial cable it needs. Is it possible to transfer files from another computer using a USB cable, because I do have one of those. Any help on how I can move my old files will be appreciated.I am also wanting to move a program from my old computer. Having bought my old computer second hand, it came installed with adobe photoshop. I really need photoshop on my new computer, because I deal with computer graphics frequently.
I will be receiving, shortly, a new Windows XP computer. I am currently using Windows XP SP2 on my old computer. How do I transfer files and settings from old to new? I realize that most applications will need to be re-installed from scratch but what abput their data, etc?
I think I was on thiese forums a year or so ago with the same problem, and the solution worked. You guys had me run a scan and post a log report of all the processes and such that were slowing down the computer. The last few days the fan has been kicking on a lot, and I'll wake up in the morning occasionally and the computer will be locked up. Not sure if it's something I downloaded or something that just made its way to my computer. What's the program to run the scan? I'll post the log after I get the link.
After reading the threads concerning transferring all data, email addresses, favorites, documents, pictures, ITune library etc. from an old computer with XP to a new computer with Vista, I was completely over my head and understood very little of what was suggested. Is there a program to assist technically challenged people to move into a new computer. I really need a new computer but this process scares me completely. Should I just pay a professional to do it and stop worrying? Someone suggested Norton Ghost. Anyone know of this program and it's effectiveness in my situation?
I have Windows XP on my computer, In a few days I am buying a new Windows computer. Can I export my Favorites to a floppy disk? If so, how exactly would I do it? Then on the new computer how exactly would I import my Favorites from the floppy disk to the Favorites in the new computer?
My computer is running really slow. I run win XP. I have AD Aware and norton systemworks with the most current virus defination updates. My windows XP is updated and my processer is brand new Celeron D. I have checked my MSCONFIG start up options and only a few programs are checked. I cannot figure out what is wrong. I think that it might be a virus but I don't know. I have installed some new programs recently like the GoGo Data toolbar and a bootleg version of Norton Systemworks that I got off of iMesh.
I have noticed for a while now on my desktop PC that I built that When the Boot loader gets to the Windows boot screen with the indicating bar moving across the screen it will start to slow down tremendously and then speed up again then go to the desktop and it loads fine but that is bothering me and I can not figure out what it is?? I have a 350 watt PS, a MSI MB 845 chipset, a P4 2.2ghz processor, two memory sticks total 1 gig of ram they are corsair nd ultra, two HDD's maxtor 80gig and a 80 western digital as slave, one chassis fan and one bay fan.
I have a question regarding a legal aspects of Windows XP.I have a machine running XP Pro. In the very near future, I am planning on getting rid it in favor of a new one. However, I would still like to keep the OS license.Am I allowed to reinstall XP Pro on the new PC using the same CD Key? Do I need to notify Microsoft in any way? Is there a special uninstallation process I need to apply to the old machine to 'release' the license?
My main pair of raid drives crashed and burned. So I installed XP on my second pair of raided disks and recovered the data from the first pair. But now my boot/o-s disk is D and my drive is C.Any tools I can use to change drive letters around and move boot information and such automatically?
I moved some EFS encrypted files to my new PC, but can't open them there. I've been using NTbackup, so the encryption is preserved, and all I get is "access denied" when trying to open them.What is the easiest way of decrypting them? I tried exporting the user certificate from the old pc using CIPHER /X, importing it to the new pc, but that didn't help. So how do I go about to decrypt these files? As it is nearly 50gigs of data and a slow network, I'd rather not decrypt the files and transfer them again.
I'm trying to partition my hard disk which currently has a Windows partition on and a couple of other util. partitions. I am using an Ubuntu live CD with GParted to attempt to resize the Windows one, but an error was given concerning there not being enough free space. I had a look around and found out that defragmenting might help.I did it a couple of times with the Windows defragger and once with Vopt. However, there are some "unmovable" files near the end of the disk which are probably causing the problems.Is there any way I can move these, so I can resize the partition?Attached is a screenshot from Vopt after defragging, the green blocks show unmovable files.
I had"My Music" and "My Pictures" folders moved do my F: Drive and "My Documents" to my d: drive but now have formatted my c drive and now am able to change "My documents" to the D drive but am wondering how to change "My Music" and "My Pictures" on the start menu to go to the F: drive as that would be helpful to my system.I have tried to right click the My Music on the start menu but i can only Rename, Copy or see the properties which only lets my share with others.
hey everyone. I've got a really weird one for you. I partitioned and formatted my hard drive into a 15gb windows/system partition and the rest for everything else (music data games, etc). When i installed XP home to the 15gb partition, everything is fine until i try to move a window in windows. When i click the top part to drag a window around, it responds super slow and whichever program i'm trying to drag shows a huge cpu use spike in task manager. I'm running a 3.2 ghz, 1 gig ram rig. Never seen this before, anyone have any ideas what might be causing it? Could it be some sort of virus left over that my format didn't catch?
I leave my PC on at night and connected to the Internet. My Taskbar is always on the bottom of my desktop. I have found my Taskbar on the top of my desktop a few times now when I access my PC in the morning.
