OS Mistake Uninstall Windows XP
Aug 29, 2005
I wanted to uninstall Windows XP, then reinstall it again because there were some errors in it. There was no uninstall option in Add/Remove programs so I installed XP (H.E) thinking that it would write over the one that was already there. Instead it installed another a second XP on the D drive and I dont know how to uninstall it

I have NO CLUE if this is some virus or something i got while trying to remove adwear or when downloading something off the internet, or whether it was my own mistake or something that wasn't done correctly... yeah.. I AM lost >.< Some times my computer just seems to stall. When i'm not doing anything, i don't notice it at all, it works just fine, but when playing a game (Just about any game), or trying to use a progam like acrobatic reader or microsoft word It seems to stall quiet often. 5-10 times every 2 minute

I am just about to enrol on an mcse course so I am playing about creating user accounts and policies on my own computer, however while logged in as myself (administrator) I added XP/All Users to the security tab of C: and placed deny access to the drive. As now I am locked out of my own drive. I assumed as I am in an adminsitrative account this would not apply to me and now when i try access security tab from c:'s properties it wont allow me

I used the wrong xp upgrade disk for my PC - I used the xp OS disk I have for my Laptop. I tried to switch disks in the middle of the process. but after crashing the computer and making it unable to boot I was forced to do a repair with the wrong disk and complete the upgrade with it. NOW, I need to change the xp OS Key so I don't have an invalid install and can activate it. I tried MS Key-Update-Tool, but the program won't accept the key. PLEASE HELP.

I made a huge mistake on a friend's computer. I removed a file when a virus software told me to. Unfortunately it was wrong and it thought it was a virus. Now I have to know how I can put the file back. It is csrss.exe

I inadvertently resized my windows partition. When I attempted to reboot, I got a hal error. The HP recovery utility then partially ran, but disk 2 is missing from my recovery cd's. because that is not what I wanted to do. I tried booting the recovery console and running FIXMBR, but that didn't work either. I looked at the drive with Knoppix. It shows the HP recovery partition and also shows a partition that is hidden. Looking at the drive on my roommates laptop, the recovery partition is visible, but not seeing the other partition

It comes up in the middle of turning on with a message "Enter CURRENT Password". I tried taking it off in the setup boot menu, but think, by selecting "Clear startup password," I reset it to some default password, which I dont know. Now i cant get my computer to turn on, cause dont know the turning on password

I reinstalled Windows XP Pro over the current version as I was having problems. I did a complete install instead of a repair, wasn't paying attention. I did make a complete backup of my hard drive prior to reinstalling. I now do not see any of the files or modem setups in my start menu. What files do I need to copy from the backup instead of having to reload all the programs from scratch?

This will sound really like a really stupid thing to have done, but basically i followed a troubleshooting article on the microsoft website to try and fix an error on my PC, (every time i shut down i get a big blue screen thing). Part of what it suggested was removing a number of files from the registry. I did this but unfortnatly i seem to have just made things worse. The error message still appears when i shutdown but now i seem to have deleted something needed for my CD drive as this now says that the regisry is corrupted in its error box. Is there any way of getting the files i deleted back ( i did not make any backups).I am running windows 2000 and the files i deleted were Cdralw2k and Cdr4_2k

I made a mistake when I moved into a house that doesn’t have high speed Internet. I signed up for netzero to get me through the months that I will not have high speed. I installed their software then their software downloaded some more software that is still locking my computer up on occasion, even after I have uninstalled their software. It doesn't lock it up totally it just doesn't let me run any other programs and it doesn't let me log off (even through CTRL ALT DEL). It also runs a program in called ipconfig.exe that never seems to finish running

I installed the SP3 today and have been kicking myself since then. I didn't even follow advice I was giving others to wait. I set a restore point before I installed it and went into Safe Mode to restore to that setting. When I checked on my Add/Remove Programs file it states the SP3 Cannot be Removed. I have read here in a few threads that some people have uninstalled it. I don't know of anyother way other than AddRemove programs. I hope I don't have to reformat. What happened was that my computer would start to boot up and hang, then I got it to boot up as far as desktopand then it will just hang.

I get the following error "Bosnian (Cyrillic, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is selected as the language for standards and formats, or for non-Unicode programs. This language is not supported prior to Windows Service Pack SP3. Please see readmesp.htm to select a different language". I have tried all steps mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249 but it could not be solved.I also tried logging onto administrator's log in which was used to install SP3 but even that did not work out. I get the same error

I want to uninstall IE6. I'm using FireFox and completely satisfied with it.I tried looking at MS's website and it tells me that I need to go into Add/Remove in teh control panel to do it.However a few weeks back I had posted saying that my Add/Remove shows nothing at all and I have to remove programs using the registry to find the uninstall string.Now, I'm no expert, or even that comfortable working with the registry but how would I go about removing IE6? I cannot find it under the section where I uninstall other programs from.
