I wrote this Guide on disabling System File Checker in Windows XP Professional. Sorry it's not in text form. You guys want it simple so anyone could do it, what could be simpler than looking at pictures (besides a program that will do it for you, which I've thought about...).http://www.overclockersclub.com/disablesystemfilechecker.shtmlContact: ProfessorXP@Yahoo.Com
View 9 RepliesWhen I run system file checker it says: "Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL Cache. Insert your Windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM now."when I click More Information it says either I have inserted the wrong CD or the CD-ROM drive isn't working. I have the CD in, it just doesn't seem to be recognizing it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI noticed a while back that my hard drive light was going on every 1-2 seconds. accompanied by drive read/write noises. I checked Task Manager and was amazed to see that the Avast security software had performed 28 million i/o functions in one day. I removed Avast but continue to hear the drive working all day long. A check of Task Manager yesterday showed a combined 750,000 i/o reads by explorer.exe and crss.exe. I googled the problem but only found people exchanging thoughts on forums for page after page, with no resolution - after much back-and-forth discussion of explorer threads, etc.I really would like a solution. I've scanned for viruses, trojans, and rootkits - and, nothing. So I'm sure it's Windows. Does anyone know of a way to make the PC go quiet when I'm not actively reading/writing data or loading/exiting programs? BTW, the same thing happens in Linux Mint (I have a dual-boot system). I checked the Dell Dimension BIOS screen but didn't see anything that I (a not very tech-savvy user) thought could be causing the continual disk i/o activity.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was clicking around, trying to reduce the security setting in Windows in order to download a needed .exe file. Can't remember what I did but now a dialogue box opens for every .exe file I try to use. This brought to my attention the regsvr32.exe file that looks like its not supposed to be in the system32 folder and could be malware. issues: turning off the dialogue box that opens everytime i open a program and identifying and deleting malware especially the regsvr32.exe.I notice the regsvr32 isn't listed as a running process in the HJT log - because I cancelled it in the dialogue box instead of allowing it to run. Which is a good thing. I'd like to return to normal and disable the open file dialoge box, but remove regsvr32 first so it doesn't run automatically.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just noticed that I don't have a spell check on my new XP SP2 box. This is due to the fact that I don't have MS Word, Excel, or Power Point installed (according to Help).

I have Word Perfect (Corel), which doesn't help with OE and I doubt that the free Power Point Reader would incorporate spell checking

I got notification from MS that due to significant hardware changes I had to run the genuine checker again. ok did it. I am having problems with random programs freezing up, just about anything done with either disk drive (dvd or cd)when done the program will hang up and a restart is the only way to get out of it (nero). I tried to open system restore and it will not open say a error occurred and it needs to shut down,want to send ms a notice. I ran error check on the drive its ok, I tried to run system file checker but it wont open either.I tried to run repair on the os (xp pro) but it is oem and that option is not available, only a complete reinstall which will lose my files.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have become quite irritated by the various strange noises which happen at a "system event". I have found the dialogue box where additional events can be added to the sounds but I cannot see how to turn off the ones already there. I do not want to use "mute all" on the volume control as I frequently listen to music.
Any suggestions welcome.
While in that area of the screen, I want to remove some of the icons. The dialogue box is set to "always hide" the offending Icons but they are still showing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen Running windows and it crashes you will get a blue screen and it will automatically restart, ofter it will restart too fast for you to see the error message. You could check the error log in this case but that is too easy. We are going to disable auto restart on system failure.
1. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System (Windows+Pause works, too)
2. Go to Advanced
3. Under the Startup and Recovery section, click Settings...
4. Under System Failure un-check "Automatically restart"
I got this error.I am not able to reinstall windows XP even.
