About every five minutes or so we get a pop up for our hp 1300 all in one. The main box pop up is as if we just installed new software for a printer, which of course we have not, and then a box pops up that has 1300 trb in the header and then says windows is configuring, and then another box pops up that says 1300 help in the header and then says it is also configuring. Nothing will print and we have one doc in que that we cannot cancel.
my computer take about 10 minutes to load. It takes about 5 minutes to get to the user screen, and another 5 from there. This computer uaully would boot in around 1 min.
This one has stumped me but I believe the cause is related to the million versions of security dlls MS has created pre-and post sp2.
The symptoms:
Linked popups in IE generate a blank window.
Event viewer property pages do not open Services property pages do not work Javascript "A disk error has occurred during a read operation" Firefox opens the window but also adds a second blank one for a popup Links in outlook emails open fine in new window AOL webmail works correctly new window with email in it
Since this behavior arrived out of the blue and is specific I believe some proximate events were:
Install and de-install Pluck (RSS browser tool) Install and de-install Java V1.5 SE AOL homepage saying it was upgrading (AOL mail does work)
To resolve this I have:
Used Iefix to deinstall reinstall IE Updated to all fixes sans sp2 run sfc /scannow downloaded current scripting engine from MS re-registered all suggested dlls for ie6 run current Macafee on everything gone through MS knowledgebase
I did find two other users having the same problem with an extensive list of possible resolutions, none of which have worked.
so i went to msn and did the verify ( windows genuine advantage ) verification just to see if she has done it so we passed the test ,Its valid so no problem there .this is a dell machine >Dimension 5000< only a few months old, 3 at tops . she doesnt even use the net much . its a machine for picture editing . any ideas why we cannot get the updates ..
also 1 time when i was on this machine surfing . this dell window poped up and showed something about updates , like it has over ridden Windows automatic updates . but i cannot find it anywhere on this machine
After setting up a password for the pc, I changed my mind and want the pc to boot up without showing the password prompt. All I've been able to find is how to remove the password but not how to prevent the prompt from popping up.
Every time I start my pc or during day I get this error message.It usually stacks like that because my pc was left on overnight, so it happens every 2 hours or so. I have no idea what this links to but it just started happening after I formated my pc, although I dont know why this started coming after many formats.
I get this popup/flag about once every 20 minutes on my computer. Not the internet, just my computer. Below is exactly what it says:oobebaln.exe - Application Error <X> The instruction at "0x77f517e2" referenced memory at "0x76fd7896". The memory could not be "written".Click on OK to terminate the program<<OK>>..I've searched the registry and all I can find is "oobe.exe" but that's all. Nothing containing the dialog in the popup at all. Has anybody experienced this? I'm running XP(home) on a Sony VAIO computer.
i have a really annoying problem where my computer wont let any windows pop up at all, for example, when i try to open the save as window, it will just sit there and not do it, when i try to open the shut down window, it wont do it, just sits there like i did nothing, extraction wizard windows wont come up, i cant open any of my anti virus programs or firewalls because they wont come up, not even installation windows and windows to play certian games come up, so i really need help on how to fix this, its not really crucial, but its a VERY big nuciancse
I want to be able to reset the password promt pop-up. I clicked on don't remember anymore passwords and I don't know how to find this prompter to let it remember passwords.

I was online with yahoo messenger and I tried to go to a site and realized that my homepage addy had been changed, I figured spyware. I didn't think much about it until my wallpaper changed to something that appears to be an ad for spyware removal software with a "hotlink". I signed off and tried to run my spyware program and got an error message that it could not be loaded. I then tried to run my virus program, same thing. I then tried to get online to make sure my virus program was updated, same thing. It has also did this with several other programs as well as not allowing me to reset my computer to an earlier date (system recovery) nor will it allow me to get rid of the spyware ad wallpaper.
Ok i just got this nasty infection with one then mone spyware.I'm not sure what they all where but i know one was command.exe and one was Surf Asistant or something like that,I've used the folowing on it and cleaned up everything but this one .dll file that shows up in my HJT log and is still causeing my web browser to be redirected every 1-3 mins.I've tryed the folowing programs to get red of it,
I own a Sony VAIO VGN-FS742/W with XP Home SP2 running on it.For a week now, I've been trying to get the System Configuration Utility popup window to stop appearing everytime I bootup my machine.I've even gone as far as disable all of whats in STARTUP tab. Which didn't resolve a thing.Every time I click on radio buttom to not showup but it still does. Is there any kind of Registry Hack that can be done to stop this?
Can anybody please show me how to keep the there are unused desktop icons cleanup wizard popup to quit coming up for good? for every different user?I already know about going to desktop settings with the 60 days thing. I am an IT at a school where these kids see this message and tend to screw things up when they go into it.
Up til recently, when I'm in Windows Explorer and looking at files in Thumbnail View, I hover the mouse over the file and a pop up window appears showing the Type, the Size, and the Date the file was created. For some reason now, only the Type and the Size show, but not the Date!
my friends computer has a virus (note: its true its not mine). Specifically a trojanhorse, ive run avg cleaned out a heap of viruses and i keep getting popups from avg telling me ive got trojan horses and whatnot, bu i got rid of them how are they coming back?
I have an infection that I haven't been able to rid on my own. I am receiving popups on the lower right claiming to be from the Windows Security Center with titles like:
Alert! You are receiving Spyware! Warning! Your security and privacy are at risk!
The window has the name "Project1" in the task manager, and it has overridden my ability to end processes in the task manager.
Just about anything that takes a little effort causes the fan to speed up and those popup windows warning me about it. In my Mandriva OS on a separate HD it can work hard and hardly a whimper from the processor. What's going on? I'm afraid I'll burn my processor up in XP Home.
I started getting this message when my Windows XP is loading. Right after the Windows XP screen, a box pops up with "Isass.exe system error - object not found" message. When I click on OK, the system restarts and it goes over and over. The same happens in Safe Mode. I found out it is a virus or a worm and there is a way to fix it, by installing a second copy of Windows from a CD, starting it and cleaning up the original installation. For me the problem is that my HD is almost full (has less than 6% free space) and it's not enough to do a second installation.What I thought of doing was to install a second HD, install Windows XP on it and boot the pc from that dirve to clean up the original operating system. The question I have is whether this can work. The second HD will be set up as slave and I am not sure if the system can boot from a slave if it detects original installation on master HD.If it wasn't for some files that I really need from my pc I would probably just reformat my C drive and reinstall Windows.
Everytime I open anything from folder to 'my computer' I get this error."Your computer was infected by unknown trojan.It's dangerous for your system (critical files can be lost)!Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your system! (Recommended)"I ran ad-aware, and mcafee. Still Nothing.
After safely removing hardware .. There�s suppose to be a confirmation popup advising that it�s safe to remove� (or not) Mine�s missing ... can I get it back ?
I upgraded a Dell 4400 computer for my daughter which came with 128 MegRAM, 120 GigHD, P4-2 Gig. I added an additional Gig to what was thee but did not think to increase Virtual Memory (originally custom set by Dell about 360 Meg).When she is trying to do Excel files on her account while her husband keeps his place on the Internet (ball scores)- they often get the message "Windows Virtual Memory is low".
When I open my internet explorer 8, I go to my home page (www.Windstream.net), I am only able to see the top part of the web-page, above the green line. All the news clips and data on the rest of the page do not appear. When I go to www.MSN.com or www.YAHOO.com, both pages appear as they normally show. When I go to my bank's web-site, and try to login to do my online banking, the pop-up login fails to appear.
Another example is when I go to www.ADOBE.com, and select the "downloads" tab, then Adobe Reader, the page goes to the right place, but the yellow bar asking for permission to install Active-X never appears, and the pop-up that tells me to click here to begin download never appears.I am running AVG9.0 (free version) and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware I tried removing IE8, which put me back at IE6, but I had the same problem. SO I downloaded and installed a fresh copy of IE8, but I have the same loss of data on my screens. This happens in IE6 and IE8, so I suspect that I am over-looking something obvious.
On the desktop, I dragged a folder to the edge to make it become a menu popup. That's fine, except that it pops up instantly whenever the mouse touches the edge (which is often for me). Is there a delay setting that will change it to delay so that I must hover a second before it activates? I tried the common add MenuShowDelay to HKCUControl PanelDesktop tweak and it doesn't affect it, just the start menu.
I am getting extremely annoyed with the message that keeps popping up every thirty seconds (see attachment). I don't know why it's searching for some removable media (I think) when my thumb drive is still inserted. I have been having similar problems since the stupid Geek Squad told me I needed a new hard drive and then named it the "H" drive for some reason; now from time-to-time when I try to run programs which (I think) used to be based off my C drive I'll get one of these or a C+++ runtime error window.How can I make this stop? I'm running Windows XP SP3. on an HP desktop. All help is appreciated, as this is a highly annoying problem right now.
