Results After Running L2mfix
May 1, 2005
Here are my results after running l2mfix, the other thread is closed so I am posting a new one.The problem I am having is that all of a sudden last week my IE took over my computer for no reason.I had walked away from my machine for about an hour, I do this often, and came back and couldn't do anything.Upon reboot, same thing, IE will not open and it will eat RAM, 100k to 200k making the entire system slow.I have used spybot and AdAware to remove all spyware and malware found. I have used RAMbooster.net also. Nothing is working. Before I go an uninstall the program I want to get to the root of the problem and then complete delete IE off my system. I am no using Opera and FireFox.

In life, the only way to succeed is to get your priorities straight. Well tough-luck, to all you slackers, the computer world ain't much different. Windows has setup a system controlled hiearchy which is notably called the Priority System. By increasing a programs priority, the task manager tells the system to pay more attention to it, by feeding it RAM and optimizing that program to use the system cache more effifiently. Lets explore into the wonderful world of priorities.1.)

I set mouse pointer speed (speed cursor moves over the screen) set to max (in control panel)This was fine until I upgraded from a 19" screen to a DELL 2405, this being a 24" widescreen. Now the screen is massive (I run at 1920 res) and the mouse is just too slow when in XP. Is there any way I can tweak XP to speed my mouse pointer up even more.

I need to have a scheduled script running at certain time of the day to stop an application (File Maker Pro) from running; the backup the database and launch the application again. I know basics of command line scripting to re launch and do the copy of the data base. The only problem is to stop the application without damaging the database

I'm running XP. I did an Ad-Aware scan and removed some tracking cookies. It also stated that I had 29 running processes. How do I find what is running to help speed up my PC, and also; which are essential? I have dial-up AOL. It's running like a horse-drawn computer. How can I get it up to at least steam-powered.

Does 66 running processes seem like a lot? I cannot seem to find a thread regarding this. (I'm sure there is, stopped looking after 45 minutes) It doesn't seem to slow my computer at all. I AM running quite a bit on here as far as spyware, virus scans, webshots, etc. It's also a media center 2004 computer with all the trim so there are quite a few windows processes on there. Even with AOL running, my computer is only using 430MB of RAM and I have 1GB.

We run Comcast high speed, two computers running though a router setup. My son "opened a port" to speed up his game play. My computer now crawls. Pages take too long to load, and I now sometimes get the server error message here, server not responding. Any idea what I can do. My son seems baffled, but I know he doesn't want to sacrifice his warp speed game play.

Someone told me that my computer is running slow because I have too many programs running in the background. Could this be true and if so, how do I delete the unnecessary programs and more to the point, how do I recognize which programs are necessary and which are not?

Freshly configured windows XP pro. installed SP2 that I had on a disk. installed avg free, when IE is started, an svchost program starts, and eats up 99% of the resources. I try to get the windows updates which I believe would solve this problem, but I can not. I end the svchost process and IE will browse to websites, but still cannot get the windows updates. how can I get the updates which I believe would fix, I have done this very same configuration with the same results on 3 computers, they were all fresh installs.

I'm not sure what settings I need to tweak, but I'm sure someone here as experienced this and might know. I have a desktop and a laptop, both running XP (desktop XP Home SP2, laptop XP Media Center SP2). Both systems are running ZoneAlarm firewall and both are current and set up properly for my network and for file sharing. I have file sharing/print sharing set up, and have no problems sharing files both ways...except... On both systems, I have "My Documents" shared, with both boxes check to "Share this folder on the network" and "Allow network users to change my files".

I move to another screen/application and then back, say to Outlook, the first key I strike is not what its supposed to be, but the second key and what follows is correct. It just seems to be the very first key I hit generates a random character. This issue doesn't just happen in Outlook either but other programs as well. I might have thought this was limited to my laptop since I use this 90% of the time, but my desktop also has this problem. I've run a deep scan using ZA Extreme Security and come up with no viruses.

Initially the computer had a spyware infection. While cleaning it up I got a message telling me some windows files had been changed and i needed to insert the Windows XP CD to restore them. Didn't have CD handy at the time, so I installed SP2 hoping it would replace the corrupt files. Soon afterwards I got a message on reboot saying Windows had recovered from a corrupt registry. I was going to do a SFC /scannow, but at some point I was no longer able to boot into Windows.

we installed the Microsoft Fax process on an XP Pro PC. It is setup only to send faxes and works great most of the time. However, every once in awhile, it will stop sending faxes even though there are faxes still showing in the Outbox of the Fax Console and Fax Monitor shows Ready to send. What we do see in the Fax Monitor's more>> window is that the last fax said that the fax did not answer, fax was cancelled after about 5 minutes of sitting there trying and it requeued the fax. It then shows a message of Fax Device Error.There is nothing in the Event Logs showing that there is a device problem. Looking at the Printers and Faxes in the Control Panel show the Fax is Ready.

I promise i did a search, but bc xp is only two letters, maybe that is why i got so many irrelevant results. im sorry, bc im sure this has been answered! I just reformatted my new xp media center edition pc. i put on all the programs i will want, all my personal files and settings, and really want to create a DVD (or set of DVDs if need be) that, at any time in the future, i could put in, and make XP go back to that exact state, with nothing lingering from things that happened after the date of the original backup.sort of like a reinstall cd, but instead of reinstalling to nothing, reinstalling to what i have set up. i see the backup program in ACCESSORIES.

When I installed the upgrade, I was prompted to activate the software. I've never seen anything like that on any other software, so I looked at the manual before selecting yes and discovered that activation is required to insure that the software is installed on only one computer. I purchased the package from a guy whose computer died. He bought a new computer with XP already installed,so he no longer needed the upgrade package.When I try to activate the software what is going to happen?

I've been catching up on all the forums and have come across 2 differant comments stating WeatherBug is loaded with spyware. That kinda concerns me a little, cuz I'v been using it for the last 3 years, only because the school right across the street from me is the closest reporting station and it's kinda like having your own weather station right in your front yard. One of the comments said the spyware problem was not hard to track or find, but I'v never heard this before and can't find anything about it. Would somebody elaborate,or send me a link to more info?
