Unkown Files - Conflicting Advice On Web
Jul 4, 2008
I am cleaning out my computer and would like to know what these files are and would it be okay to delete them:
C:$AVG8.VAULT$ (I do have AVG so I would imaging it is theirs. Do you think I could move this to the AVG file?)
C:2c03abed19b14-KB43b2e9f6a36d63 (in it is msxml929978-enu.log)
C:C_DILLASafeCast Product Licences (conflicting advice on web)
If these are needed, can I create a folder called something like 'keep' and put them in there?

I tried reformatting my pc for several times now but I can't reformat it.It just goes up to the stage where I have to pick the drive to format but there are no drives to choose from. The drives doesn't show and I can't pick the C drive to format or see any other drive.I don't have anything listed. My box just says Unknown Disk (There is no disk in this drive.) It just stops there and I can't proceed.

I've recently encountered an odd problem. I was using my PC one day and all of a sudden I realize of the programs and functions dont work...........eg. antivirus program disabled, no network, opening new windows when double clicking on a folder though I've set it to open in the same folder. Anyway, this is Microsoft Windows......it's suppose to mess up every now and then. So I thought I'll reboot to solve this little situation. Rebooted and back into Windows, same problem exsists. I thought stuff it.....lets re-install!!!
First thing back into Windows, things were working fine again except no drivers for VGA and icons are HUGE!!
Continued to install Nvidia platform / VGA drivers.......and weird things started happening again.....
I noticed there are 2 ODD processes running after I install the drivers, they are ............. hsowxuq.exe & xvxmpsq.exe

I put my old computers harddrive into this new one, and their drivers might be conflicting to not give some some sound? I have direct, and thats all. Flash movie sound, for example, will not play.The old harddrive is from a Windows 98. I believe these are two different sound cards and they are conflicting.

OK, my computer has been running very slowly over the last couple of years. I took it to someone to fix but the computer is still running rather slowly. I'm not sure if there is a virus, or if any programs that are installed on it are conflicting.

provided some good info however generally the point is being missed. You cannot get into the registry to modify any autochk values.

I badly need advice from you techguys. It appears that the graphics driver on my computer needs to be updated, or maybe even completely renewed. My screen wipes out unexpectedly and I recieve a flash of a blue screen. The information I get is that I need to update the seriously malfunctioning driver. It is as follows: NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go (Microsoft Corporation).After going through the Microsoft steps and also visiting the NVIDIA website a matching driver cannot be found.

What would be the best way to set them up for system speed, reliability & ease of back ups?
What sort of partitioning software do people have experience with ?

I'm using Win XP and, using the built in Zip feature,have zipped up 14 files that include one .exe file and one .bas file.When I try to Extract All files it extracts all except these two files.It says that the files have been blocked to protect the computer, then I can click on a link to find out how to unblock the files but the instructions to do so don't make sense.The instructions tell you to save the file, then right click/properties/unblock, but I can't see how you can save a file if it hasn't been unzipped.How can I stop the .exe and .bas files from being blocked

Now however, my hard drive seems to contain approx 13GB of data which I am unable to locate, even when viewing the "hidden files" option. I first noticed this increased used space when I wanted to defragment the hard drive and noticed that there was only 45% free space available (there is usually 75%).I have viewed the properties of all the folders on the C: drive and they do not add up to the 20GB shown on the C: drive properties...The defragment report states that "some files in the volume could not be defragmented"

My system totally crashed. I reformatted the drive and reinstall XP. Well, everything seems to be going along just fine until I get to 70% finished with copying installation files and I get message after message saying that the files cannot be copied.

The registry on one of my computers is corrupt and if I try to copy the files from the WindowsRepair folder using the windows system repair tool, I'm told the files cannot be found. One possible solution I thought of is using the registry files from my other computer running Windows XP. I don't even know if this is possible, but if it is, how can I transfer the files. I would put them on a CD but the CD drive won't open when the system repair tool is running, and they're too big to fit on a floppy disk, even one at a time (the system and software files are both over 2mb.)

Sometime over the past couple of weeks, I started having a number of files on my C:/ drive which would not open. I wrote another forum and got some advice, and did some studying, and for some I was able to take back permissions and found what looked like a phony user account hidden way down in Documents and Settings.
Today I found close to 2/3 of my files would not display, of the types, htm and html, jpg, png, and doc files. I went to check permissions and the security tab was not under Properties.
I have tried everything: I have re-installed Windows, I have run every virus and adware and spyware scan and repair known, and have constantly cleaned the registry and used HiJack this which did show two programs called Voodoo and Banshee which were not mine.

Last night I noticed 2 files remaining after deleting my temp files. When I try to delete them, a warning box appears saying that another person or program is using these files. Task manager says no other program is running and I do not see any suspicious processes running. The only recent changes I have made was to schedule a daily backup via NTBACKUP and a daily rename & compression of the backup files via a batch file with Task Scheduler. Does task scheduler leave .tmp files in place I don't want to delete the .tmp files if they are indeed needed by something important

I am a big music downloader (all paid for, thank you)! I'm 55 so I guess I forgot how to download them as individual songs and not have them arbitrarily placed in folders predetermined by Windows. I remember a musicmatch and/or real networks technician told me once how to change my settings so they are captured as individual songs. Probably a simple answer, but I don't remember it.

I had my system running XP but it is now running Windows 7 and for the reason I backed my files up to a portable Hard Drive formatted as FAT32. Now when I try to use the Files And Settings Transfer Wizard it doesn't seem to recognize the files and says that they are not there.

I have always enjoyed labeling and organizing my files, But as of a little while back i am not able to organize my mp3s or any type of file for that matter in a proper fashion because the options of the author the title and everything else you are allowed to label are not present. I used too use this to organize all my music and video files in a folder but now none of these options appear for me. When i click properties and heat to summary for any file It never gives me the options for these files there just not there. So when i try to organize lets say the folder by Artist or Album title or year or track number i cant because there is no category for it.

I recently started using DVD Decrypter to rip some of my DVD's and then convert them to play on my Sony Playstation Portable (using PSP video 9) And it's working great.Now that I know how to do this, (rip tracks off of DVD'S) I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what the BEST program is, or what people use, to use those .vob files and turn them into .AVI files or .MPEG files, so that I can carry them with me on my laptop.

When I was uninstalling Kaspersky, at the end of the uninstallation, it asked me if I wanted to save the NTFS files, IF i were to use Kaspersky in the future. I figured I wouldn't use the antivirus in the future anyways. So, I just uninstalled the NTFS files, and in the end, this window popped up saying that the NTFS files were replaced by unrecognizable files. Another windows popped up saying to insert the Windows XP Pro CD, to replace those unrecognizable files.Nothing is going wrong with the PC as of now, but I am just a little worried about what this might mean.
