I'm having problems with ntdll.dll, so i want to replace it to see if that'll work. Problem is that ntdll is in use. Safe mode doesn't help. I read somewhere that you have to disable system file protection in order to replace dll files that are in use all the time. But it's complicated, at least for me. Anyway, can anyone talk me through replacing it? And tell me what i need to restore my system in case i screw up
View 9 RepliesI was recently using Azureus to download some MP3 files. One of the files didn't finish. The file's folder and some of the music appears to be in the folder I designated for the downloads. When i try to delete it, Win 2K Pro refuses to recognize it. It tells me the file doesn't exist! Same thing if I try to rename the file. A search will not find it either. Anybody have an idea how I can get rid of this thing? It's not causing me any problems, but it's driving me nutz! I don't want to resort to a format!

My audio driver seems to be having problems with SP3 for some reason (*which I found from a bit of searching around on the internet). Consequently, I have been trying to uninstall it to re-install SP2, but I cant find the file to uninstall under add/remove.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNormally when you click on a folder or file in My Documents, and right click on that file or folder, you should get a list of options on what you want to do with that file/folder, including deleting it. However, I have a very stubborn file in my computer that will not delete. When I right click it, it does not give me the option to delete it. I can not remove, rename, or move the file. It won't do anything at all. Is there any way at all that I can delete or remove it
View 4 Replies View Relatedi know i just marked both threads solved, but i do have a couple more questions about specific left over files and add-remove program entries.
1. i have a folder in documents and settings/all user/applications for authentium. authentium was [i believe] from when i used the cox internet security suite which i did not like and uninstalled. in one of the folders is a quarentine folder with 4 items in it. trend micro doesnt pick those up during full scans, and im not sure how to scan each file with t-m. can i safely delete these or the whole authentium folder??
2. also, authentium antivirus SDK-2 shows up in add-remove programs. i thought i had removed authentium a while back. when high-lighted it doesnt show a "remove" button, doesnt show in start-programs list , nothing in program files either. i saw an authentim listed in the HJT uninstall manager couple days ago and deleted it, didnt think i saw it in the add-remove list at the time. how do i remove this entry?? is it necessary to remove other than annoying me?..........

View 3 Replies View RelatedIt all started a few weeks ago when I could not move a folder to the recycle bin because it "could not find it". This week i did somehow get it to move there, but when i tried to delete it for good I got the same error. So i used Tune-Up Utilities 2008 in an attempt to get rid of it. The folder is gone, but the error remains. I think the bin is not working properly anymore either. I moved some folders of music to the recycle bin but they weren't there yet rar files i had deleted were. I have tried many many different commands, and a "restore recycle bin" registry edit, and safe mode.
View 2 Replies View RelatedTech guy has altered something on her XP OS to append a .pdf extension to any file she downloads from the net. I understand that it was for her own protection as she can't execute any viruses, but it needs to be disabled to allow her to upgrade her flash player. I know the work around is to download the standalone file and manually remove the .pdf but would prefer to nip the problem in the bud.

It is the same size as your memory eg. if you have 2GB Ram, windows will create a 2GB file!. If you don't use hibernate,You can remove the file by doing the following: 1. Go to Settings / Control Panel / Power Options 2. Click Hibernate and uncheck Enable Hibernation 3. Click Apply and you have gained some Hard Disk Space.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI went into "Control Panel" and clicked on Sounds and Audio Devices. That brought up the dialog box: Sounds and Audio Devices. Then I can pick either the Audio or Voice tabs. (They both have volume buttons.) Then when I push the Volume button I get the following error message:
Windows cannot execute SndVol32.exe, use Add/Remove Programs control panel to install.
So, I go into Add or Remove Programs and select "Add New Programs" on the far left. Then I push the "CD or Floppy" button. Then I'm asked to insert the installation CD. So, I put in the Windows install disk and click Next. (In the I386 folder of the install disk is a file named: "SNDVOL32.EX_." That's why I think I need to select I386.) So, after I push Next, up pops a box called "Run Installation Program." In the Open box is: D:SETUP.EXE. To the right of that is a Browse button. I push it and up pops the Browse box showing several folders and a file. I select I386 and it contains several folders and 3 files: NETSETUP.EXE, USETUP.EXE and WINNT32.MSI.
Should I select one of those files or folders or should I do something completely different?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have tried previously to uninstall my HP Officejet G85 printer from HP Pavilion a1130n running XP Media. There is no Change/Remove button in Add/Remove Programs but the program is there, 150 MB, and the file suggested on the HP website for uninstalling older printers from XP produces a message that it's "unsupported" can't remember exact verbiage, been a while since last tried. Even reinstalled in the hopes that a message would come up to the effect "this program is already installed, do you want install to remove it prior to completing this install," but it just installs the printer again with a number after it ...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently uninstalled Windows SP3 RC1 from my computer and reverted back to Windows SP2 through the use of Projekt (Project) Dakota. Before uninstallation though, one of my siblings had run this script to update to Windows SP3 RC2. I do not want to install the newest RC2, as I'm now waiting for a final release. I changed my Windows Update Settings to download but to not install, as it was already downloaded from yesterday. Is there anyway to remove the already downloaded but not installed update for Windows SP3 RC2, and is there anyway to remove the script (that tells the computer to download SP3 RC2?)
