I ran latest version of Spybot on my laptop (Windows 2000) There were several malware that Spybot wanted to remove. Ran a backup. However at one point on the process Spybot asked if I want a series of actions allowed. I clicked on allow and an endless stream of these questions began to show up. I did not click on remember these actions while allowing Spybot to delete. Got tired of doing that repetitive action and rebooted. Machine starts up, shows desktop and then desktop goes away replaced by the following applet with just a light blue screen behind it
C:WINNTsystem32command.com
The parameter is incorrect
Hit Ok but applet comes back. Hit close but applet comes back. Can only force a shutdown. Went into safemode tried "run last good configuration" ...same result. Went back into safe mode and ran the backup on Spybot to reverse actions but of course since I didn't hit remember the allowed actions the malwares were returned but the problem not fixed.
When I open an Access 2003 DB in a multi-user mode I get the following error: "The parameter is incorrect". BUT if I right click on the file name and select Open With - Microsoft Office Access then it opens up just fine. I have tried to re-associate the program with the file type but that did not fix it. It opens fine if no one else is in the database.AND once I'm in the database and I try to click the Save button it tells me. I don't have exclusive rights and it wont' save my changes but it does save changes.

I'm able to use EZCD 6 Platinum with no problems with DVD-R/W or CDR-W disks, but this is the first time I've tried writing any data files to DVD+R DL single sided double capacity disks. I have updated the Platinum DVD file to recognize the Plextor 740A drive (which is double layered able and also had the firmware updated on it). XP (using its own burning program can't tell that I have a disk in the drive. EZCD Creator can see the drive (but sees the disk as only a 4.7GB capacity so I've tried going over that amount to 'disk 2' to load up the files. As soon as the files are ready to burn, and it loads up the title line with everything, I immediately get the following error:
E80070057: The parameter is incorrect
With no explanation when clicking on Help. I've done a google search and I find many of these type posts in various forums but they all seem to be pretty old posts with no results or resolutions.
these files i can't delete , rename, and move them. this is the message i get when i try: "file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect" I have read one subject about this issue in this great forum but the solutions was not helpful. Read the thread here related article i have used the following software: Unloker, Emco Move On Boot
I think the above software can work only on local hard drives not portable hard drives>
I have Win 2000 pro service pack 4. Running on a Sony Viao laptop. Something is screwed up on my C disc; trying to run checkdisk utility. Will only run in "read only" mode. Says I need to set "F" parameter to get out of readonly.How do I set "F" parameter? NOTE: I've tried running chkdsk from the RUN command in windows, also from the command prompt in safe mode. Same message each time.
In event viewer under application I get a warning which says trace level parameter not located in registry; default trace level used is 32. Can you please help me with this.
Everytime I turn my computer on Windows begins to boot but then an errormessage appears that reads as: Isass.exe system Error and it says "Aninvalid parameter was passed to a service or function." What does thatmean? After you click ok, Windows begins to boot all over again butthen the error message appears again. It just keeps going in circles. I have no idea how to fix this. What am I suppose to do?
The other day on boot up I received an "lsass.exe error, invalid parameter" screen. Clicking "OK" just continued the boot up and error message in a loop. This has been a common problem for folks. Although I could not determine (due to the state of the system) if in was a virus or a corrupt file, I was finally able to coerce, after many varied attempts, an overlay install of XP Pro. However, all that was on my hard drive dissapeared (programs, settings, files).
Although, when I went to reinstall some items (Adobe Acrobat, for example) it stated that it was still resident on drive. Further, when I went to do a defrag, it stated that it was not needed (probably because of the small amount of recent installation) but the graph showed 20 gigs of space taken up (my original 18+ gigs and the new install). So, the original installed volume is still on the drive yet I can not see it or access it.
You said that its a trojan. Doyouknow what I can do to get rid of it? if it is lsass do know whatthat is? im Wrote: > Are you sure it is isass and not lsass.exe? Isass.exe is a trojan.

My video card is: ATI Radeon HD 4350 It has one Digital and one Analog port on the back.
I had it setup using 1920 x 1080 on both ports (dual monitor).
But I can't get that to work again.
When I set the monitor using the VGA port to 1920x1080 then it displays 1280x720 on the monitor, but the video card is outputting 1920x1080. The display seems to scroll when the mouse is on the edge of the screen because obviously it can't display 1920x1080 on a 1280x720 resolution.
So as of now, my monitor is displaying everything really big and it's useless at this point.
I was installing my scanner onto XP and when I plugged in the usb it didn't like that port .. .. so it created an "E" drive to my computer. I was told there was an error occured and when I switched usb ports all worked fine, but,
how do I get rid of the "incorrect E drive" that was created?
I too have a problem with my memory being reported incorrectly. I have a lenovo ideapad laptop. I upgraded my laptop memory to 4GB (2GB x 2 Modules). However in Windows XP MediaCentre Service Pack 3 the memory gets reported as 2.99GB. I had the same problem with Windows Vista Home Basic Service pack 1. However the issue was resolved when I installed Service pack 2 in Vista.I tried changing the MaxMem...but the value is not getting changed. Pls help...I have downgraded my OS to WinXP and would like to continue using the same.
In the last week I have three times tried to log on to my Windows XP Home system and been told after multiple tries that my password was incorrect (no, Caps lock wasn't on). Each time I was forced to log on to my wife's account and reset my password through the control panel. I was then able to log on but by the next day, I was seeing the same problem. I have now had to reset my password three times. This problem has never occurred before in 4 years with the system. My wife has reported the same problem, but claims that rebooting fixed it. I rebooted and was still unable to log on. I strongly suspect a virus, but I have VirusScan Professional on my work license and it updates the .dat files every day. I checked the logs and nothing found. I know about creating and using a password reset disk, but that doesn't fix the problem I'm having.
One option is that somebody else is messing with my password, but my son is off at college and my wife would not know how to do it. I asked my daughter about it and she says she didn't do it, and she is very trustworthy It has happened again since last night without her being on the computer, anyway. I am a very experienced computer user (20+ years) and type in dozens of passwords a day, so I know it's not a problem with my typing.
Whenever I run a program like NOD32, iTunes, or even the Windows Update utility, an error message comes up saying that the system time is incorrect, even though it is clearly not. I reformatted, reinstalled Windows, and went through the steps in the Microsoft knowledge base to no avail.
I have been trying to install Win XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 on my old puter. It's really slow and old like 10 years old. I am planning on fixing it up. I tried to install XP, and after it copied the files (which took forever) it went on to the install step. Every time, it gets stuck on a "fatal" error that says "Incorrect Function." Then I can look at some kind of log with a bunch of files and words I never heard of. After I click ok, it restarts and does the same thing over and over, until I turn it off. I tried to take out the CD, and it starts loading, then says I am missing files. It seems like there is nothing I can do. I contacted Microsoft, and they won't help me unless I give them 35 dollars. I'm a 15 year old kid and I don't really have much money.
i have a 2 year old pc that i bought with windows xp media center edition 2005 pre-installed and activated. only a week ago, it started asking me to activate windows before i could log in every time i restarted my computer. i would click ok and then it would ask me to activate. i would activate over internet and when it did, it say i have an incorrect product key. i don't know why this happens because the computer was pre-activated and i didn't do anything to my computer when it started happening except played some games. something even more wierd is that 1 in 5 times it boots up perfectly normal without asking me to activate. it is really annoying to have to try restarting my pc until it randomly lets me log in.
I am running xp pro. I have been having problems installing a scanner but that is for another time. Currnetly I have an error message that reads D:is not accessible. Incorrect funtion. This has rendered that dive useless so I cannot load or play any discs. How do I get this drive working again?
Using Partition Expert on a master HDD with two partitions I resized the second partiton down by about 8 GB, then resized the C partition from 10 to 18.25 GB. Committed Operation. Seemed to be doing fine, next time I looked at the screen it was blue and it said the system had encountered a problem and Windows was shut down to prevent damage. The PC rebooted fine and everything works OK. However, Explorer says the size of the two partitons is 10 GB and 20 GB, somewhere I lost 8.25 GB (which is the least of my worries anyway)Defrag says the same thing, however, Partition Expert says the partitions are 18.25 GB and 20GB. And this is what Windows Disk Manager says: In the top panel it says the partitons are 10 GB and 20 GB.
I am trying to allow users to change their own passwords on a win2k server using net user.I tried: net user username password computername.The error says the filename, directory, or volume label syntax is incorrect.The server is on a different vlan than where the command is run but I have added the computer name to the hosts file so it is able to resolve it when I ping it so I don't think that is the problem.
After accessing the Yahoo Browser and reading any emails, if I go to a site, then select the "Read Mail" icon in the task bar, an invalid Outlook Express email form opens.My email provider is Yahoo Mail and Internet Options verifies this.What must I do to prevent the "OE" from opening in lieu of Yahoo Mail?
Although this has previously appeared in forum, thread is now closed.I have ntfs file system. On Used space and Free space I get unreal amounts (.98tb Free space). I am running XP Pro, Sp2. Problems started overnight.My other HDs show correct amounts.
Well its January 2008 and today when i turned on my computer i saw that my date and time were wrong..plus when i was starting up my computer a message said something like i need to set date and time. I tried to double click the clock at the bottom right side of the computer screen but it does not respond. The time and date window will not pop up so i can reset it. I tried the control panel clicked on dates, times, language, and regional options then i clicked change the date and time but when i click that option nothing appeared.I even click the change the format ... but i can't change the time. So that's my question.I am using AVG free edition but it is in error state and it will not allowed me to update because my computer date is not correct.
The registry key LargeSystemCache "1" on a RAID Windows XP Pro configuration will lead to disastrious read/write errors. The only way to fix is to open registry and changing the key quickly right after booting Windows and then do an official restart/shutdown.The key is located here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM CurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementLargeSystemCache This tweak is widly spread to be enabled but there is never a warning for anyone on RAID! If on RAID do NOT enable this key!
I've acquired an older Dell computer with the FAT 32 file system. I want to convert it to NTFS. I've found many articles with directions on how to do this but I'm having a real problem. After I go to Command Prompt and enter "convert c: /fs:ntfs, and hit enter, it tells me to enter the "volume label for the drive".I've tried many different combo's but always get the notice that I have "entered an incorrect volume label".
Iv'e installed XP pro on my new computer.after installing all the software i need on the computer i checked how much disk space i'm using before creating an image, and then i encountered a strange thing.When i measure th used disk space using ALT+ENTER from the root directory all the file amounts to about 9GB (all visible and all accounted), but when i check the disk properties it reports over 20GB used.When i created the image, the file weighed over 20GB also even thought i don't have 20GB of files.I know for sure that this is very unlikely that i'm actually using 20GB and that ALT+ENTER reports a wrong size because on my other computer.
