I'm running XP Pro SP2 on my desktop at home. Home built, 4 years old, AMD Duron processor. Recently (for last couple of days), any time I try to search, my entire system hangs. I checked the Microsoft articles, and found this, which I have seen cited in other threads here but include below.On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003, the Explorer.exe process may experience an error in Rkadmin.dll and unexpectedly quit. To work around this problem, uninstall the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit. Unfortunately, I don't see the W2K Resource Kit in Add/Remove Programs, and if I try to search for the file, well...then I have to Crtl+Alt+Del to get to Task Manager to end task on the explorer window and end process on drwtsn32.exe if I only end one or the other, it still hangs.
The daylight saving i try to install the manual updates and i found the microsoft web side but i cant under stand what is the "windows resource kit" is i am new to the job so.
Today I have installed Win xp in my desktop. The desktop already has 2000 pro SP4 installed in it. I did a clean installation. So now i have dual boot in my computer.I have installed both OS s in a single partition. ie. C: And another worst thing is that i have used NTFS for XP and FAT32 for 2000. Both are in single partition.Now I want to uninstall win 2000 with formatting.
In Win 98SE when I go to system properties and performance tab I can see a number free resource%.How do I get this number in Win XP and Win 2000? Does a higher figure really indicate that the computer is doing well?
I have evaluation copy of 2000 server on computer for training purposes One thing I cannot do is uninstall it!! The machine is useless to me with it on and I just want to return to an operating system I can use
I have a failed installation of MS Office 2000 that I need to remove from my XP Home system. The failure appears to be related to the CD because the uninstall also fails. Is there any way to remove the application without the CD? Unfortunately there dont appear to be any restore points set in the system restore.
i just bought a hp pavilion desktop that apparently has the sasser worm on it as i kept getting the countdown popup. i put on avg antivirus and removed 19 different worms and virus's. i then ran ad-aware and spybot s&d and removed over 400 entries. i have researched and applied how to get rid of the sasser virus but i still get the countdown popup occasionally. i also can not get any updates from microsoft to download. all i get is an error. since it still does odd things every now and then i think the best bet is just to completely format the hard drive. i want to get rid of everything including the hidden partition hp puts on for recovery. i received all the recovery cd's that came with the system when it was originally bought. i do not have a stand alone xp home cd for it. is win xp home on those recovery disks and are they all i will need to format the hard drive?
My computer usage stays at about 100%. My aol software.exe constantly use about 80 % While some csrss.exe takes up the rest. My computer is rea slow now. I had this problem before and it went away. I can't remember what I did.
Is there such a program? Some software programs like, video and audio converters use a lot of CPU resources. As I don't have a modern 2 core cpu this can be annoying when doing conversions and trying to watch a h264 encoded movie at the same time. It would be cool to be able to "throttle down" some programs so as to make my computer more efficient. At least until I upgrade to 4 cores.
I recently installed the windows recource kit for windows XP, 2000 and 2003. The resource kit provides a program called "Subinacl.exe". This program can be used to set permissions, edit registery items, set users, etc. Now my problem. The program works on all our windows machines (they have basically the same programs installed), except on one machine. When I try to run it there, it just hangs, it has no read or write input / output, it just stops responding. I thought about a permissions problem, but when i provide full rights to the program (cmd started as administrator), it still hangs. A security policy? checked it. All the machines have the same policy's. Actually, i don't know what the problem could be now.
I have Been fixing a donated old pc and installing a new hard drive.So need to put a new bios so it can read the 40 gig hard disk.Everything worked and boot properly except when I installed the sound card and Ethernet Card keep getting the error code 12 resource error. Don't know what to do should I configure something in the bios or should I looked for another bios file.
This pop up came up saying that I had little or no disc space and that I should delete programs that I rarely use. So I went in and deleted stuff that showed I hadn't used for a long time. Now I cant open up microsoft office. In fact everytime I try to do anything I get a new pop up that's titled Windows Installer, and reads "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource thats unavailable" I tried to restore my computer to a previous date and time but I get the same thing?
Thanks for oppening the topic but now my problem is not here .l'll re-type the problem .Im running win2k pro and now when i right click on a desktop icon or any other icon i get ":Failed to load resource DLL" with no explanation of what dll is missing or corrupt .Once i press 'OK' the problem goes away and everything seems to run fine other than a few exceptions that im not sure are tied .My friend says he had the same problem and a week after ignoring it his pc crashed and died.
I have this strange problem with my Dell Inspiron 930. When I open Fire Fox the CPU loads jumps to 100% and my mouse cuts out. The laptop hits temperatures of 60C +. I have done a virus using Avast Anti Virus and have found nothing. I have even made it scan before windows loads. I have done the same thing with spy bot search and destroy and I am really out of Ideas. This also effects Virtual DJ and Steam (Only in the community Tab = The one with flash). I think it might be Flash that is causing this, but I don't know how to complete remove flash from my laptop so that it can be reinstalled. Can someone please tell me how to remove and tell me if they know whats happening to my system. Computer Specs- Pentium M 2.0 (Centrino) 1GB RAM 100 GB HDD ATI X300 (128MB)
Im installing a brand new pc and I just downloaded all the latest fixes and patches for the OS and the Browser.except one, KB890923. Everytime I try to launch through Windows Update it says it cant do it. SO I attempted to download and run it manually and it states that the program is not a valid Win32 application.
Am I right in thinking that they are both pretty similar except that server has support for multiple processors and extra network related tools and facilities. The reason I ask is that if a piece of software works on Windows 2000 server, is it extremely likely that it will work on Windows 2000 professional too? As a bit of background information: I work for a small company which supplies temperature monitoring equipment which needs to be networked. I've been told that it has been tested on Windows 2000 server but not on Window 2000 professional.
I have been getting a box up with Resource file missing when I open up my HP Compaq laptop for some time now. I don't know what was done immediately before this started. I see from an internet search that this is common, but being a beginner to technical computer stuff I don't understand a lot of the solutions.
When I boot up my xp pc the very last acion on bootup is a message box that states" Cannot Find Resource FIle". I go to Event Viewer and there are two items there:
1)The COM+ Messages service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
2)The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: SMPLSCSI
Until recently 1 month ago, this message box never appeared. What is SMPLSCSI and how can I make this messagebox go away?
When I right click on an icon instead of getting the pop-up menu with options I get an error message. The message box is labelled "cf99menu_.rsc". The error message states "Resource File Not Found". Clicking OK makes the box go away. It is annoying and adds a step to any function where a right click is involved.
When I turn on my computer I get three pop-up messages. One just has a box that says TOPIC! another says delivery manager has encountered a problem and needs to close, and another says resource DLL is missing... Please reinstall application for McAfee Virus scan. I have reinstalled the Virus scan several times but the message never goes away. I don't even know what TOPIC! is and what is a delivery manager?
I know the little ctrl/alt/del trick to put the resouce meter in the system tray.It stays there until you turnoff/reboot. Then it's gone.Is there a way to keep it there? Some type of utility that will sit in the start menu?
Is it possible to tweak xp to allow only a certain amount of bandwidth to be allowed by an individual pc? we have online gamers and p2p users on our home lan that seem to use it all, while effecting other users from time to time. It would be nice to assign each user a specific amount of bandwidth.
Sometimes my computer is running kinda slow, so I look on Task Manager and Internet Explorer is using between 60,000 and 100,000 K. I've already run SuperAntispyware and only cookies came up.
I Accidentally Clicked A Folder That Started Installing Mcafee Virus Scan. I Realized That I Already Have Mcafee Virus Scan Included And Installed As Part Of Aol Safety And Security System. I Couldn't Cancel This Unintended Beginning Of The Installation So I Shut Down My Computer. Now, Every Time I Boot I Get A Prompt Sound And A Small Window Entitled Macafee Virus Scan Which Says Missing Resourse Dll, Please Re Install. My Uniblue Registry Booster Couldn't Eliminate.
I was reading about some of the built in diagnostic tools in winxp and found out about msinfo32; I ran the program and found that some devices are either sharing resources or are conflicting with each other.
Is there any way to tell whether or not it is ok for these devices to be sharing resources
The letter, F, is already assigned on all workstations to a resource on the server; however, Windows assigns a new USB thumb drive the same letter, which results in an inaccessible USB drive.I changed the USB drive letter in Disk Management to I. This holds until the USB drive is disconnected and the computer is restarted. Then Windows again assigns the letter, F, to both the network resource and the USB drive.
My computer slowed down considerably a few days ago (it takes five minutes to open a word document) and sometimes freezes up. I've run three antispyware/antivirus programs and found nothing.
My laptop is an Asus Infusion I am running Win XP Pro . I recently downloaded a regestry cleaner called tuneup. When I go to access my system file this is the message I get Resource file <C_SpuRsDll> Not Found! this freezes up the the system.
Not positive this is the right place, if not tell me otherwise and I'll gladly move it. Heres the scoop though, I just finished building an i7 930 build asus II Rampage gene motherboard, one tera byte harddrive, 3 gb 1800 mhz ddr3 ram, and a gt220 1 gb video card. It will start up show the motherboard logo, then go to the xp loading screen and start doing the scrolling loader. about on the 6th scroll it will freeze, go black, then lit up black, then black and then restart all together. Nothing in the hardware seems to be out of place so im assuming its XP itself. i have checked the bios and the tempuratures seem normal. I just fully finished this build yesterday, I installed some drivers for the right parts, which made it restart and it ran fine. Then i installed a game and played it for a little while before shutting it down, when I came back a few hours later it started with this madness.
