What could cause that? then a box kept coming up asking what connection I wanted to use and if I pressed one, it would dial up and thank God, in a way..an error message came up. I supposed I should never have entereded anything in that box.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently attempted to install a program that installed Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1. The installation of the original program didn't complete so I uninstalled .Net. Now, when I turn on my computer the log on screen doesn't appear - it just goes directly to the desktop. This isn't a problem because I only have one user account, but I just wanted to see if my ininstalling .net had something to do with this, or if not, what else could have caused this to happen spontaneously?

View 1 Replies View Relatedmy laptop has become very slow in starting up. Up to ten minutes in fact! It goes throuygh all processes as normal, but just takes ten times longer. Also, my mouse and curser are acting strange. the curser judders across the screen rather than moving in a smoth normal motion, and it occasionally dissapears completely for a second or two. All programs take ages to load and generally my PC is taking 5-10 times longer to do anything than it normaly does.Everything was fine up until 2 or 3 days ago when this started happening. I have NOT downloaded anything over the past week.I attach my HT log

I can be moving the mouse across the page, for example, when it will start responding erratically or stop. As this is happening the hd light blinks even though nothing is being saved or opened. I have disabled indexing, run virus checks and adware and spyware removal tools. I do have a wireless router attached but i haven't checked to see if it happens with my laptop also.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have windows XP and Automatic Updates on my computer were set off for two months. Now that I'm back at home I turned on the Automatic Updates again, I selected the 'Notify me but don't automatically install them' option. After that, 5 updates where available to download, I only selected 4 of them. When I turned off my computer so that it could download the new updates, it started to download 71 updates. I did not let my computer download them since i do not know where did the other 67 updates come from. And I'm worried that they my use all the space I have left on my local disk (c). The capacity of my c disk is 9.31 GB, I have used 6.38 GB, and I only have 2.92 GB of free space. What can I do, I would like to know more about the 67 updated that I did not selected but I do not know how to see these updates and change them or cancel them. For now I will just turn of my computer with out downloading these updates.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI turned my computer on and 7 new icons appeared on my desktop (they don't appear to be shortcuts) advertising Poker, Card Games, Printer Cartridges, Casino Online, Bingo, Website Hosting. It won?t allow me to delete, drag, right click, or search for them. I have also done a search in DOS under my username/desktop with no luck, I tried the desktop cleanup again they were not listed, I have scanned with Norton Ad-aware and spybot search and destroy, but still they remain. The icons could not be found in my C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktop even with show hidden on.
The icons do not appear in safe mode, and since I have no idea where they are on my computer as I cannot search for them, I could not remove them in safe mode. The icons just link to web sites, so they are not on add-remove progs either. I'm running Windows XP Pro. **UPDATE** 2 IEXPLORE.EXE were found open in processess, when I tried to end one of them, all the icons vanished for a second then popped back up and IEXPLORE.EXE remained in processes, I use firefox not IE !!.. I have no idea what this means, maybe someone will know what to do now?
My daughter downloaded a game ( Carmen San diego) awhile back. She decided she didn't want it anymore. She went into add/remove programs and removed it. The shortcut is still on the desktop and when she tries to delete it she gets a messages that it cannot be deleted because it is either write protected or in use with another program.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a program (Hot Keyboard Pro) that I no longer wanted. It did not appear in the Control Panel "Add Or Remove Programs" list and there was no Uninstall option in the program folder, so I attempted to delete the folder and all of its contents but was informed by XP that access to this one dll (hkshext.dll) was denied, and that it might be in use. The Command Line del command responded in the same manner and the Command Line attrib command yields no enlightening information. How might I determine what/who is using this dll and/or how might I remove it? No great import, I suppose, if I just leave it there in the otherwise empty Hot Keyboard Pro folder.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIf you want to remove some additional programs that are installed with windows but are not initially visible in Add / Remove, edit a file called "C:WINDOWSINFSYSOC.INF".In there you will find a listing of programs, and you will note that some programs have the word 'hide' at the end.Now when you open Add-Remove Windows Components, you will see a new choice, in this example, "Windows Messenger"

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anyone tell me what to get rid of, if anything. My pc is running extremely slow.
I can't seem to get rid of the remnants some Nokia programs that my son installed on the PC.
They wouldn't uninstall using the conventional method so I just deleted the folders and used Registry Medic to clean up the mess.
The only thing left is in the add/remove programs list.
I have gone in the registry and in the 'uninstall section' removed all things 'Nokia' but still they remain.
