i have some problem with my windows. while start my windows after bootscreen a message appear plz wait.....................................................................................................................................................
Every time open Internet Explorer, Word or Excel, a box pops up that says: Windows Installer: Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage. With Explorer I end up hitting cancel about 10 times and it takes about 30 seconds and it asks me for a CD I don't have, I hit cancel some more, and then Explorer finally loads. With Word and Excel, I just hit cancel once, and then Word and Excel never do load.
My hard drive with my OS on it ended up going bad. When it went bad, I had a slave drive with some data on it set up that happened to get corrupted along the way. So I removed the bad drive, put a new drive in and installed a fresh copy of xp w sp2. Did all my updates, everything ran perfect. Now I left my slave drive alone with my date on it. Some of my data got corrupted and if you went looking around in there, a message would come up drive not formatted if I opened certain folder on that drive. Some of the data was still good. Well anyways I noticed on my brand new fresh install, if I went to add/remove programs it would sit there and hang. It would say please wait while list is being populated. If I let it sit long enough it would eventually come up but something was definitely wrong. So while I am sitting here waiting for the list to load, I noticed my hard drive activity light was lit on my tower and seemed like the hard drive was very busy. So after googling some more and not finding any help I figured I would try and fix it myself.
I ended up getting what I could off my slave drive and downloaded maxblast and cleared everything out and re-set the drive and deleted and created a new partition. Well guess what, my add remove programs now works perfect after clearing out my slave drive. I'm guessing what was happening was for whatever reason the add remove programs was trying to scan Drive D: for whatever reason and it had corrupt data on it which is why it took so long. I'm not saying this is going to solve all hang ups, but I tried every tip I could find and no dice. This actually worked. So if you are having trouble take a good look at your hard drives and make sure they are in good working order.
I installed SP2 for XP then I got the critical updates for SP2 installed. Now when I go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel no list is displayed, just the window saying to wait for list population. I've waited up to 15 min but there's no icon or any indication that anything is trying to happen. Other categories in CP work fine. So I'm not sure if the culprit would be the applet itself, the service pack or one of the priority updates, if any. I considered doing a system restore, I'll do it if so advised. I've run a spyware scanner and CleanUp!
I just re-installed Windows XP, and it keeps telling me that I can safely remove "USB Mass Storage device", despite there not being one plugged in right now, and that I can safely remove my hard drive, which is an internal hard drive. It says this everytime I restarted to my computer.
There is this shield in the tray on the right hand end of my task bar that says that updates are ready for your computer, click here to install.Well, I don't want to install them and I would like to get rid of the shield so I won't hit it accidentally.There is also a security alert shield I would like to get rid of.
i bought a mobo and cpu combo at frys. built my pc up. tried to install windows. but i got an error message saying "if this is your first time getting this error,, please restart the installlation.if the porblem persists, please uninstall any new drivers or remove any new hardware." so i tried a bunch of stuff. and finally i got a new mobo and cpu. windows installed fine; then i tried installing world of warcraft. it froze in the same exact place everytime on the 3rd disk. after the 3rd time of restarting my pc because of this lock up, my task bar was gone. i tried restarting my pc many times, but no task bar. i tried installing windows again and i got the original error message i got on the last time i tried to reinstall windows. (by the way, before my task bar was gone and everything, i cliked on my computer and looked at my ram. it said 256mb of ram. i have 512mb stick!).....
Should invest in Windows XP 64 or not. Would it improve my performance (I have an amd64 3200+) and if I would have to back up everything i want to keep on there. And would I be better off if I just waited for vista?
I have XP pro on my computer that is not genuine. I have a legit copy of XP 64 bit. Is there a way I can install my copy over top the existing one to solve my problem? Will it prompt me for a new key and I'll be good to go?
My question is that I am receiving this error message from Spy Sweeper that they have blocked this thing. Has anyone gotten this message within the last (5) days?
buying a new Media Center PC and should I wait for Vista to be released? Is it better to buy a Media Center PC with MCE pre-installed by the company or is it better tp buy the CD-ROM when it comes out and installing it over my Media Center 2005 edition?
For the past couple of months I have been getting an annoying Microsoft Pop-up that says Please Wait. It stays on the screen anywhere from a couple to as many as ten seconds. Then it disappears. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems but it's just a pain. I?m running Windows XP SP2. I'm going to try to attach a screen shot of it.
I am running under W2k-SP4. Whenever I try to install a program, "Please wait while Windows configures Scansoft PDF Professional 3.0" pops up. It also pops up when I run some Utility programs installed months ago (such as Registry Mechanic). I got rid of all Scansoft softwares weeks ago (Uninstall + deletion of registry entries using Resplendent Registrar). I replaced msiexec with Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803-v2-x86). Nothing doing.
I just looked at a previous thread with the hangup of Add/Remove program with it never populating. Never get a clear answer, just added a backup drive, may have something to do with it hanging up?
everytime i boot up my puter i get this window showing that message and i h8 it cuz obviously somethings wrong n i have no clue n its DAAAMMNN slow... any help on how that happened n how 2 fix it?
When i turn on my computer I get the windows splash screen, then a blue screen that says Please Wait, followed by dots. The Windows logo is in the top right corner. Windows stays at this screen for a few minutes, then it goes to the log in screen. I believe that during the Please wait screen Windows is running chkdsk. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP2.

I have 1 memory slot left in my motherbaord and it supports a maximum of 1GB in that slot - I have used the previous 2 with 1GB in each channel running as dual channel memory.
Can Windows XP MCE 2005 work with more than 2GB of memory? I heard that XP with more than 2GB of memory is like Me with more than 512MB. Under Me when I used more than 512MB RAM (768MB) it worked but after performing intensive tasks I has incredibly slow performance to the point where the system almost grinded to a halt!! I wouldnt even dare make full use of the 1GB as I saw articles on MS website saying that 1GB will cause 9x OS's to completely not start at all!! Oh and lets not forget the glorious BSOD - those bring back some memories!
Once I upgraded to XP the 768MB of RAM worked fine. Then went onto 1GB and then afterwards a nice comfy 2GB.
Simply put, if I have 3GB of RAM, will I experience slowdowns or lockups in XP MCE 2005 much like I did in Me, when I had 768MB of RAM? Is 2GB of RAM the "ceiling" in XP MCE 2005 for good reliable performance.
Im running windows XP Pro. upon starting the computer, when it gets to 'Windows is starting' screen, I'm made to wait at least some 3 minutes before I get to the Logon screen.
Whenever I click on something, say, msnm or aim or whatever, a small installing window pops up and says "please wait while window configures Microsoft Office XP professional with front page". It's pretty annoying that this happens a lot. Please show me how to fix this and make this annoying thing goes away.
When I am in as admin user I do not get this message, however, when not in as the administrator and logged in as any other user, and I run any microsoft office application, I get this, message. "Preparing to install, please wait while windows configues Microsoft Office edition 2003, then a second dialogue box appears, which says: Error 1309. Error reading from file: D:SKU011.CAB. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it". When I click cancel in the Dialogue box, I am then able to go into the application.
Every now and then, I get the "Simply Remove Hardware" icon on my taskbar. Because I have external hardware that I use from time to time, but not regularly, this "icon" is an annoyance and I wish to shut it off.
I've configure the HDDs as a raid 1 array and booted from my XPSP2 cd. I press F6 to load the raid drivers from floppy and the install then continues loading the rest of the drivers from the windows CD.
I then get the "Press enter to continue" message. I press enter and then get a blank blue screen with a "Please wait" message. I've waited for 30 minutes and nothing happens.
If I remove the raid array and try installing with just one drive it gets a little further. I get the next screen where I have to "Press F8 to agree to the license agreement and continure".
I then get another blank blue screen with a message at the bottom "Loading Setupp.ini". Nothing happens no matter how long I wait.
Any ideas? I've disconnected all unessecary components such as USB connectors etc in case they were intrefering. I've checked my bios version and its the latest (0501 although there is a 0601 beta release available).
I have a new computer and after I boot from the windows cd, i press enter to install windows xp, but then it freezes up at Windows Xp Professional Setup "Please wait..." and the cd drive stops spinning. Any advice? Have I plugged something in wrong? I have the hdd set to master and the DVD/CD combo drive as slave on IDE 1.
I'm running Windows XP SP 2 and I get an error message whenever i connect my blackberry curve to the computer. if the usb device is stopped, it will go away, but other than that it won't disappear after clicking cancel. if it helps, I installed the roxio media manager only yesterday, when the error first came up. Its name is Exception Process Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7c 75b6b
Every time I switch on my machine and try to connect to the internet, I get a dialogue box: Web page is unavailable while offline. To view this page, click connect. When I click connect, I can view the page and don't get the error message again until I switch off the machine. Why does this happen?
I had ad aware 6 on my computer. I intstalled ad aware 7 without uninstalling 6. Ad aware 7 uninstalled it, but it is still on my add/remove programs list. How do I remove it from this list?
I installed the Eset NOD32 3.0 antivirus, I wanted to remove it. I couldn't remove it on a conventional way, using the add/remove tool, so I removed it from my windows startup list, and then physically removed the folder from my HDD, and then used PC Tools Registry Mechanic thinking that it would do the trick,but it didn't. I tried various registry cleaning programs, but I just can't find it in the lists.
