Ready To Toss PC Into Garbage
Apr 10, 2006
I don't know where to start with this but my PC is running so slow. It takes a long time for the PC to load when it first turns on. I have alot of useless programs running in the backround and I have no clue what they are for or how to turn them off. Alot of times my computer has a hard time running 2 programs together like AOL and MS Word.I want to delete a bunch of useless programs ( other people use my computer in my household too) and I do not know where to start for that either, I do not want to accidentally get rid of what my computer needs to operate and I am about to toss this thing into the trash. (well, I am just really frustrated). Anyway my sister told me about this site and said how helpful everyone is, and that her computer is running so much better because of comming to this forum.

to start with I was using TeamViewer to remotely install symantec client 9.0 on my. Papa's laptop -winXP. The AV successfully installed and then the issue started when it was updating itself. all of a sudden the machine hanged .. never to recover! When hard booted the machine booted up but the start button nevr came and all the desktop apps were just small boxes! Recovery Steps that i took: I booted the machine in the safe mode and tried to uninstall the symantec but the windows installer does not run in safe mode !!
tried to follow a tutorial on the web to create a registry entry : To create a Registry entry, open command prompt ( Run->Cmd). Type the following command in the Window- REG ADD HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSafeBootMinimalMSIServer/VE/TREG_SZ/F/D %Service%. then "net start msiserver" to start the windows installer to install/uninstall app in safe mode. unfortunately it din workout i still get error 1084 “the service cannot be started in the safe mode”.

Is it possible to change the size of the trash can in XP? Occasionally, when I try to delete a really big file (4GBs+), it says it's too big for my trach can.Is there a way to make the garbage can bigger to handle bigger files?

Yesterday I got a notice from microsoft that a critical update was ready to install. I downloaded the update after closing all other open windows. After the installation was complete it restarted the computer after which my compter would not completly boot up. I had to boot in safe-mode and do a system restore to get it working right. Today I have the same notice so I went to the windows update page, and saw the update was there. I didn't download it because of what happened before. So I went to my installed update history and it said it was successfully updated. I looked at the update again and it said the update was 0 kbs. Can you tell me what happened and why now the up date says 0 kps to be installed?

I'm not really fluent in M$. I have a couple of programs that load at boot time
that really should wait until the OS / Drivers / Support programs are loaded to
start. Is there any easy way to delay execution until the OS is ready to run?It curently is running from a registry entry and starts too early. It always fails,
and I have to terminate it, and restart it once the system is able to interact with me.it appears that Windows XP logs in users before its really ready to
interact with them?

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.

No one was able to help me in here the other day so I scoured the web and I found this guy had the same problem I have.
