View 3 Replies View RelatedI really need some help here. Whatever my wife did, basically her pc running XP would not boot after the Dell logo screen. Using the XP recovery disk she managed to install another copy of XP on drive C. The system only shows 1 drive (C). The newest install is the install that works, but the old non-working installation is where all of her family pics and work files are located. To make matters worse, the original installation had 2 admin users. Herself, and one for the kids; both password protected. The newest install is in "C:Windows1" and of course the old one is just plain "C:Windows". I can see the folder that contains her files and the other folder for my kids, but I can't access them...says "Access denied". Does anybody know how I can get those files and pics out of there and fix this mess? I wouldn't mind having to reinstall the MS Office and stuff like that, but she really needs those files.

hope someone can help me! I have windows XP and a while ago IE stopped being able to download, i have resolved that by reinstalling IE, however about the same time my windows update installations were failing and i thought it was because of my download problem in IE however now IE is fixed but i still cannot install windows updates.Before anyone tells me to go into tools, options, security blah blah, i have done that already but it has not resolved the problem. The error message i get is just a box that says updates were unable to be successfully installed then a list of the updates it was unable to install, but no reason for the error or number is given.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have read lots of inquiries on the web about corrupt installations of Flash Player 9 in both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. I am having that problem too.Running sfc /scannow does not fix the problem.I have removed all traces of the installation but continue to find that the file is corrupt, however,it does allow me to view flash files on the Internet.So here is a screen shot of what is said during the removal of the file in the Download Programs Folder in internet explorer 6.Note: I don't like internet explorer 7, it corrupts my HP scanjet 2300 driver. I also like Internet Explorer 6's larger navigation buttons on the tool bar.Though I am a Power User, this one has me stumped. I am sure the error message in this screen shot will allow the techies.

Storing Windows Updates for subsequent installations (or order CD)
So, my computer was once owned by a corporation, and there are various policies in place that lead to error messages and a lack of access (even though I am an administrator).
1) I can't access the Firewall or Windows Update features
2) Sometimes when I'm trying to install software, I get a message that says "This operation was cancelled due to restrictions in place on your computer. Please contact a network administrator" or something like that.
I have access to regedit (after a bit of work) and have been able to win back some of my privileges. However, I can't seem to find the right restrictions to apply to the above issues. editing policies in gpedit does not do anything! None of the policies take effect. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI keep getting this blue screen of death whenever i need to restart my computer to complete installations and updates. For example, i installed the new Internet Explorer 7 and this error message came up. Also, when i installed a security update i also got the same Blue Screen error. Please try and identify the problem for me. A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.If this is the first time you have seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
