View 8 RepliesMy task manager says a program called rundll32.exe is running, and I don't think that should be running in Windows XP, which is my operating system. It is not running on my wife's computer, which is also running Win XP. I have ran AVG free edition scans on my system both in regular windows and in safe mode, and it comes back virus free. I have also ran Panda on-line scan in windows but it also shows the computer to be virus free. Have an anti-trojan program on my machine, called The Cleaner, that also shows no infection. However, that rundll32.exe is in the taskbar and I don't believe it should be there. I am including a copy of my hijack this log if it will be of any assistance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast year I installed Windows XP on my pc. During the installation it ask me to choose ntsf or fat 32. I made a mistake I think and chose ntsf. I know the system was fat 32 when I bought it with Windows ME installed. This computer has not worked well since I did the new install. Is it possible to change it back to fat 32 or do I need to do a new install?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two hard drives in my computer, the first with Windows XP installed and the second with Windows XP x64 and Windows 7 installed. I never use Windows XP anymore so my plan was to delete it and copy the 64 bit installation to that drive, but as it turns out the XP partition is the system partition. From what I've read in similar topics, I could format the drive and then use the Windows 7 disk to do a startup repair. As a test I set the XP partition to inactive and used the Windows 7 disk, I learned that the disk dosent even see the Windows 7 installation unless the XP partition is active, it also tells me that Windows 7 is installed on drive C which is false. I figured these tings would work themselves out and deleted the XP partition anyway. I had to recover it to get my computer to boot again but now it goes straight into 7 without giving me the choice to boot into XP or XP 64. Is my problem a little more complex because im working with three operating systems? Please tell me what I can do to fix all of this and achieve my original goal.

I purchased "RadioGet" great program, but it installs to a specific system ID and they want me to purchase it again apparently cause they won't respond to my emails. If there is a way to change it Please Let me know. I got a worm virus that made it past McAfee (probably my fault) and had to re-install XP.

2. While Microangelo is downloading you need to make 2 backups of any files that you will be replacing. for this example we will use shell32.dll This file is located at c:windowssystem32shell32.dll. To view these files you need to turn off 'Hide protected operating system files' and 'Show hidden files and folders' in the view tab of the folder options under tools in my computer. One of these backups is for editing purposes and the other is pure backup.
3. Once Microangelo is downloaded and installed, open librarian. librarian is an application that can open up exe's and just about any file with embedded icons.
4. Once librarian is opened, open the first backup of that shell32.dll file. and Voilà!! Tons of icons, actually most of the icons in the entire system. :) ........

View 12 Replies View RelatedI recently installed suse on my computer and I also have windows xp installed on a seperate partition. Since I am an idiot I was on windows xp and I decided to delete the suse partition trough windows. After I deleted the suse partition, I restarted windows and like ususal it said Grub loading, but I got an error because obviously suse is no longer there, so I put in the win xp disc and tried to repair windows. I thought if I deleted the 956 mb swap partition it would correct the system from trying to load Grub, but it actually made things worse and now I cannot even load the windows xp disc. Now when I try to load the xp disc it says inspecting system configuration then the screen goes blank.
