View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two computers, bothrunning XP with Service Pack 2. My older one has a program on it called "Easy Cleaner". I ran it recently and must have deleted some system files? as I no longer have access to the Help & Support (accessed from the start menu), the System information and the System Restore facility. Selecting System restore resuklts in a black dos prompt box, but i am unable to type anything into it..it just has a flashing curser. In addition, when I right click on the desktop and select properties I only get the dialogue box showing a modified theme. In order to access the other tabs (to change desktop background for example) I have to select another theme. Exiting from this and then right clicking a gain brings up the single theme box again.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIt used to be, when I clicked on All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information, I would get a small text box that popped up on the screen with a lot of information of the system, including the amount of memory installed and the amount used, the size of the hard drive and the amount used, ect., and it would also have a small text box at the bottom that would let one search system information.
Now, suddenly,when I go to System Information and click on it, it simply gives me the Windows Help and Support Center.I know that I can use Everest to find the same info,but this little Windows info box was handy and quick,especially for just checking memory usage. I think the that it is the Msinfo32.exe But even when I put that in the "Run" box, it still simply gives me the Windows Help and Support Center.
Somehow the system restore option has disappeared from the system tools in the all programs - accessories. When I go to start - my computer - properties - system restore... it appears system restore is on - no checked box for turning it off. Where is it and how do I get it back?

View 13 Replies View RelatedFirst of all, a SUMMARY: Computer (Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop; Windows XP Home) operating extremely slowly; SERVICES.exe using >99% of CPU (Processor speed c. 1.2GHz) I recently installed DAEMON Tools, the virtual drive programme, and when I first opened it, my laptop slowed to a crawl and stopped responding, meaning I'd to use the 'off' button to switch it off (Ctrl-Alt-Delete didn't work).
Since then, each time I've switched it on, it has been operating as per normal but at a horribly slow speed. I have uninstalled DAEMON, but it seems the problem lies elsewhere; eventually I did get the task manager to come up, and (though it took about 5 minutes) switched to the Processes tab. It turns out that the SERVICES.exe process (run by 'System') is using 99% of my CPU.....
I am unable to access "System Information" in System Tools. Nothing happens when I click on it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I add a program to the Open With menu? One of my co-workers does not have the option to choose Excel when she right clicks on text (.txt) files and selects Open With. I've already tried selecting Choose Program and navigating to excel.exe. That does not add it. Other users have the option. These text files are already formatted in a way that will open in Excel with everything in columns without going through the wizard. I don't have any problems editing the registry if that is required as long as I have detailed instructions.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe second open used to give me an error, I fixed that by adding a registry at HKCR*, I had to add the Shell entry there, none previously existed, and then added openas, then command and the default key which I have set to"rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1" The second open takes a while to load (5-10 seconds) and then an "Open With" window appears, but it is the wrong one. It lists the "Recommended Programs" and "Other Programs". I would like the one that when you go over "open with" a list of programs pop up w/o going to this other window. I also downloaded ShellExView, and just to see disabled all of the shell menus, and nothing changed, it worked as it did above.
