Having problems at the moment. Thought I had got rid of my virus problem related to a file in the system32 folder called win16.exe, which was related to Downloader.Tibs. But then keep getting this crash dialogue box related to service.exe. Have followed some threads but a little confused.
View 4 RepliesI had some viruses and in my process of cleaning, I believe the auto dowload feature kicked in for Windows service pack 3. Once it loaded, I ran RegiCure and a host of other virus or regi conflict software. The following message appears when I try to boot Excel or Word. "The application or DLL C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeMSO9.DLL is not a valid Windows Image.Please check this against your installation diskette."So at the moment, I can't boot Excel and Word. IS there a known Excel & Word conflict with service pack "3"?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm having a somewhat-recurring issue wherein I'll play a PopCap or SOE Game and be interrupted by the dreaded BSOD. When I go into my event viewer and look at the only red-exclamation-point item I can, I see the following (two items, both appear in the log at exactly the same time. In this case, the game was Free Realms. As you'll note from the error, it appears to be related to the Windows Search Service. I've attached the minidump to this link, for those of you uber-XP-experts that can understand it. Also, I keep this PC maintained pretty well. I run anti-malware software on a regular basis, use ClamWin for my antivirus, and avoid iffy-websites.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've read several threads here already discussion hard drive noises where the culprit seemed to be a hardware problem. But I'm not certain if my PC is showing all the right 'symptoms' for it to be hardware-related.The clicking noise occurs at start-up and *mostly* (85-90% of the time) during internet browsing.The sound itself is unusual preceeding each click, there's a grinding ''shhhhhrrrrp'' sound.

View 26 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell 8200 desktop running XP service Pack 2. The problem I have is right clicking anything that is related to explorer.exe. I can right click icons on my desk top that are webpages, but not links to files on my computer. If I open a window, I cannot right click. I highlight an item and the busy hourglass spins around, then the window disappears. Can not delete items with out doing some work arounds. To delete, move or copy a file, I have to go into any program and say open file, then I can do what ever I want with it.
I have defragged, scanned for virus as well as adware and I am clean. Have even replaced the explorer.exe file. Had another tech try his darndest as well as other on-line Tech's. I have run a program called ShellExView and it comes up with an error in the following Extension Names. Channel, Channel Menu Handler Object, and Channel Shortcut. All are Channel Definition Viewer files.( cdfview.dll) All appear to be system types. Other Channel Definition Viewer fields seem to work just fine. (they include things such as icon handler, thumbnail, info tip handler etc. Not sure what to do with the information. I plan on getting a new computer soon, so do not want to have to reinstall Windows XP before then.
I've been having probems with my sound recently. I think that the problems are driver related, but Ive tried reinstalling them, and getting new ones (the new ones had major problems). Its SoundMAX digital audio
View 5 Replies View RelatedI thought it was this new game i installed, it would lag about every minute and a half, for about 10 seconds at a time. So i uninstalled the game. The only problem is now the computer seems to get bogged down much easier (running AIM and windows media player at the same time makes WMP songs slow), and enters 10 second "slow periods". This never used to happen.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI had this posted in a previous thread about my RAM problems (which I fixed by getting better quality RAM ), but very frequently my system will hang for about 2 seconds. This all occurred after my laptop slid off my bed and dropped about 2 feet onto it's back-bone. I am still able to move the mouse while the system hangs. Now, I know this is not a memory related problem as I just installed 2 GB of Crucial DDR2 PC-5300 RAM (which are AMAZING!). A lot of you will try to suggest a virus or spy-ware scan, but seeing as how it happened right after I dropped the damn thing, I don't think the problem is software related. I also know that it's hard to diagnose hardware problems over the internet, but can any of you give me some tips? I'm honestly thinking of just bringing the thing into BestBuy to get warranty service on it. Hopefully it's something too damaged for them to deem it worth it to fix and they will have to give me a new laptop.

View 14 Replies View RelatedA few days ago I started getting registry problems, applications not wanting to startup right and ect. Then it was followed by shortcuts crapping out on me. When I clicked on the shortcut to see what was wrong it said there was a .LNKtx problem with the .exe or somethign to that notion. I can bypass that problem fairly easily without a fix, however when I do that and load somethign such as a game it will cause the CPU to either a) shutdown program or b) make cpu crash and restart.
View 14 Replies View RelatedAm running XP SP2 and have had this problem for years - I think I even experienced it on my previous computer, but I'm not certain about that. Essentially, anything controlled by explorer.exe seems to experience frequent delays when I try to do simple actions. For example, clicking the Start button or the >> button to show more Quick Launch items will often take 5 to 10 seconds. Here's some detail: I click either of those buttons, and am shown the "pressed/darkened" version of them as normal. There is then a 5-10 second delay during which the button remains in the pressed/darkened state. During this time, anything related to explorer.exe does not respond - I can't click anything on the taskbar, go to the desktop, etc. I can, however still switch windows with Alt+Tab and work within the applications fine.
When the menu decides to finally show itself, it appears smoothly and as normal. Anything explorer.ext related I clicked on or tried to do during the delay is now executed (e.g. switching windows, going to the desktop). For a while (no idea on the duration, I don't use the taskbar much) following this, the taskbar will behave and respond to clicks rapidly. This problem always seems to occur after booting up - I try to launch my first application, and explorer hangs for a while... then eventually decides to respond again and let the application launch. Occurs regardless of if I wait for all harddrive activity to finish after boot. It almost feels as if explorer is being paged out into virtual memory, but that's just silly and shouldn't be necessary with 2gigs of RAM and not using anything particularly RAM hungry... There also doesn't seem to be any significant harddrive activity during the delays.
I just build a new comp a couple of weeks ago and i been getting a BSOD occasionally, so far it only happens when playing C&C 3. The error message is Driver IRQL Not less or equal in wind502u.sys.

Basically, when I start my computer i can go online for 1 minute, then it disconnects. inorder to reconnect i have to unplug and replug in the adapter, then it starts to try to connect to the network.

(NOTE: the items I am referring to use native WIN XP drivers; I have posted this problem on other forums and the first responder always tells me to go to the manufactrer's site to download the latest drivers.)3) The problem: every time I reboot, the Hardware installation wizard reports the following: "The specified service does not exist as an installed service."4) Once this dialog box is closed, the yellow warning diamond appears nect to the device in hardware manager, and the driver "disk.sys" is NOT installed, although "partmgr.sys" is.
