Content of directory "Downloaded Program files" is invisible. How can I do it visible? I checked that in Folder options "Show hidden files..." is selected and " Display the content of system folders" also is checked.

I am having this problem for sometime now.I running XP pro SP2. I use Symantec Antivirus ver 9.0.0.338. Everytime I start windows, the windows security Alert comes up with the alert to check my AV. I have my AV up to date but still I am asked to check it all the time by windows security alert. In the recommendations tab,It states Symantec Antivirus reports that it is installed but its status is unknown. The 2 options it gives are :Make sure your antivirus is up to date and turned on or get another Antivirus.
I can't open the STATUS of my network connection and also with check on "Show icon in notification area when connected" wil not show icon when connected. The network connection itself is working okay. OS WinXP-HE SP2
When me and my wife moved in with her parents to help take care of her father.When he passed I was givin his computer wich was left on and password protected.What I did was create another user account as an administrater and demoted him to just a user figuring that would allow me to remove his password.I forgot to bump him back up to administrator before I deleted the other user and now I am stuck with only 1 account and it has no administrator rights.I do not have the windows XP disk either =/ I would like to change the account back to administrator and retain the files as well.
On some websites I get an error message which shows up in the status bar.it is an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle. When this happens, I can't access the website. I have tried several suggestions from Microsoft, but I just seem to trade one problem for another. This first showed up when I "upgraded" to SP2.
I have been referred to MSN as a source of help for this problem. Although I am an AOL subscriber, I access MSN Messenger, and the MSN Gaming Zone daily. My PC uses Windows XP, and for the past few days I have have been booted from both MSN areas, after a short time of usage. Then I am also booted from AOL. Upon sign on, a warning comes up saying that I have limited or no connectivity to my local area connection. I was told by AOL NOT to disable this, as it may also disable my connection to AOL.
It seems my HDD doesn't seem to be on according to System Restore under status. Device Manager also comes up with nothing, however my GFX card seems to be working even though it is not being detected. I can access all the files in my HDD too. I have no other HDD plugged in or CD Drives in (the CD drive worked when it was in). Also, the bars and such seem to be in the Windows 98 style not XP, as if it was in safe mode. I have looked at the msconfig and it is on normal start up however it is not working. I also cannot change the computers name, etc.I have tried to reinstall Windows but it comes up "0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000". I have googled this and things have come up but they do not suite my situation as I only have 1 HDD (And yes it is plugged in properly as well as the CD drive).I would also like to ask if a HDD should be the Master IDE or whether the CD drive should be.
this has been an issue on my laptop for awhile and I guess only now am I getting around to figuring it out.Whenever I try to auto sync the time on my computer, no matter which server I choose from the drop down bar, it gives me An error occurred getting the status of the last synchronization. The RPC server is unavailable. This is a home computer, and has been an issue connecting from several places on several networks. I tried turning the firewall off but that didn't do it. I read up a little on various forums about this problem, and from what I could pick out that I could understand (I'd say I'm somewhere between Beginner and Intermediately computer savvy) there have been issues with Windows Time in the Services menu. I went into there to check that out (it was my first time in the Services menu) and lo and behold, no Windows Time on the list. Several other Windows XXXXX, but no Windows Time.?
STatus code 1073741819. System Says it will shut down at aprox a few seconds.. and shuts down i need some serious help on this issue. to be more specific i have REformattedd the harddrive and reinstalled windows XP and im getting this status code for shutdown.
I have been suffering through a weird phenomenon lately. Whenever I go to IE the first time of any boot or reboot, it "hangs" after filling up the status bar for several minutes, then releases and all is well. (NOTE: I don't think this is IE-specific. It has happened booting apps, but I notice it most with IE as I use it extensively.) When things seem to lock up, EVERYTHING is locked up. I can't even bring up Task Manager, none of the icons in the Task Bar are active, etc. Sometimes I can Tab through other apps that are open, sometimes not, but when I can, the app is "frozen" until whatever is going on finishes. During this time, I can watch the process light (I have a Dell D600 laptop) going nuts. Before and after this event, I have run the system through the latest updates of utilities such as Ad-Aware Plus, Ad-Watch, PestPatrol, Symantec Antivirus, Ace Utilities, RegSeeker, etc., and none of them sends up a flag that anything is wrong.
My machine is always up-to-date via Windows Update feature, so I don't know what is causing this. I had the bright idea to reinstall XP SP2, but can't. Every time I try, it quits, giving me nothing more than a smal window with a red X in it and the notification that the install has been cancelled. I ordered the free XPSP2 CD just to see if that would make any difference, but I get the same error. I suspect I could attempt a slipstream install, but I don't want to go through all that if anyone out there recognizes this problem and knows what the solution is outside of doing a slipstream reinstall of SP2. Finally, I have several times done System Restores going back as far as I can, but while they have been successful (although I usually have to do the restore in Safe Mode as they will often fail otherwise), it has made no difference related to this problem.
Everytime I seem to connect to the internet my computer freezes and I have to restart (physically press the reset button) my computer. I am using windows xp. At times the following message appears "C Windows/system 32/lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with status code 1073741819 system will now shut down and restart" I dont know if the freezing and restarting are linked faults. I have run several antivirus software and Ad-aware but the problem still persists.
I'm running Xp and I seem to be missing my volume control and battery status icons in the systray even though it is checked to display them in their respective control panels. I've tried unchecking, rechecking and applying and their is no change.

I have my text size set at Largest in the view menu on IE6, lately it isn't working and I am really having some serious problems I had a cornea transplant last Jan and I have not gotten new contacts yet, ( my Doc told me I am good to go for using the puter, in case anyone's concern) I HATE HATE ATE the magnifier, its very disorienting, so what could possibly be causing this, my spyware sanners turn up nothing Norton turns up nothing, I went t0o a sight for ASAP or some thing for "professionals" thru a link on the board, and I got an X-Clean thing, I figured it was safe cause another member had it as a link, was I hijacked someplace else. Could this be the problem?
I help the silver haired generation with issues they may have with their computers and peripherals. I have come across this one machine, belonging to an older lady, who's grand kids have some how managed to lock her out of her CD/DVD and Floppy drives. This is happening in Windows XP Home. The only account that is active is the lady's own administrator account. The drives are visible in My Computer and Device Manager, but have big red no access symbols on them. I have looked everywhere i can think of to solve this, but have come up short.

I am experiencing this problem with my CD-R/W driver. I have windows XP and 2000 both installed on my system. The CD Drive is visible from windows 2000, but when i go to windows XP, i dont see the CD Drive there in My Computer. It used to be there earlier, but then it disappeared. Normally when some bad CD is inserted, it disappears ,but it appears again on restart. Now its not appearing altogether !!! I know that its driver is the cause. Will I need to download a driver for it ? What might be the reason? Howcome it is functioning okay in Windows 2000?
I looked through the add and remove program box ,and i found this one program AdWARE & SPYware. How would i be able to get rid of this program ?. I've already downloaded an Anti-virus protector called Kaspersky Anti-virus Personal pro 5.0. I've already scanned my computer and it found 2 viruses. I don't know if this program i am using to scan my computer for viruses works or not. I've never heard of the program, but it's been recommended by many.
I've created a new account on my windows XP and when i did this i lost my other account. i know that its there cos when i tried to create that account again, it said that the account already exists. However i cannot see my account on the welcome screen and its not in the control panel. How can i retrieve my old account?
I have upgraded my PC (motherboard, HD, Processor, RAM and DVD drive) not much else left is there Anyway, I can see the USB mass storage device in "Device Manager" and all is well but I can't see it in Explorere or My PC. If I unplug it and reconnect it gets found and installed with the "new software is installed and running correctly" message.
