im using xp sp2 and i downloaded ancanced windows care3 and did a deep registry clean, it found 900 more problems than my noraml registry cleaner(tune-up utilities) so i decided do it. after i rebooted i played a game and my computer just froze still. i now have this persisting freezing that generally when i play a game or watch movies(otherwise it seems to be fine but does happen sometimes while even just idle or looking through files). i really think its my registry.

I've been using the Command Prompt (cmd.exe) recently; could that have anything to do with this? I just can't remember if file names always looked like that.

Every time I open a file, I get this message:

It even happens for the "Show Desktop" icon in my Quick Launch bar.
All these files are just on my local hard drive.

here:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1202672,00.asp
What it doesn't tell you is if you DO have something that says DWORD in the registry.
I'm not sure if I should add NoLowDiskSpaceChecks or not

View 12 Replies View RelatedSome USB things work fine- others not at all (but work on other computers.) My XP machine has always worked fine in recognizing USB devices-- but recently did not recognize my scanner and two USB thumb drives (one brand new and one I've had for a couple years). The Thumb drives and scanner work fine on other computers.
he same machine uses a USB mouse and a USB connection to my printer (Brother HL-1440). They continue to work fine. I noticed it first with the scanner- It worked fine before New Year-- but not since. Then tried Thumb drives and recognized the same pattern. (Again, they work fine on other computers).Is it possible that Plug-n-Play is broken? With XP the drives are �built-in� and have always recognized Thumb drives (or external hard drives, etc). I did try uninstalling the driver for the Scanner and installing it again- to no avail.
i am trying the command ipconfig and it wont work. i went to run and typed ipconfig and cmd opened and closed. i opened cmd and typed ipconfig and it said "C:Documents and SettingsJesse>ipconfig'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file."

View 2 Replies View RelatedMany new drivers aren't signed by Microsoft so WinXP will warn you or even prevent you from installing new drivers for a device. To prevent this warning or to allow new un-signed drivers to be installed do the following:1. Go to start/run/ then type secpol.msc2. Browse to local policies/security options3. Change "Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior" setting to Silently succeed.4. Reboot Computer.Another helpful hint from tweakxp.comKen P Or, especially if you are using XP Home where there is no secpol.msc, right click on your My Computer icon, click properties, change to the Hardware tab, click the "Driver signing" button and click ignore.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy laptop (windows XP pro) prompts me on start up to press ctlr+alt+del before it allows me to put my username and password to access windows. Now when i press ctrl-alt-del nothing happens so i cant get to the box to enter my log on details and get into windows... This is what I have tried
1. different ctrl-alt-del methods (only one del button so i am assuming that del is broken)
2. plugged in USB keyboard but it wont work (there are no PS2 ports on laptop to use either). I am guessing since windows isnt initiated then USB ports wont respond
4. booting in Safe mode doesnt bypass the ctrl-alt-del screen
5. tried installing a new laptop keyboard but too difficult to get out
6. tried XP recovery but i cant press numbers to select 1:Windows XP so im guessin the number keys dont work either

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a Linksys WMP54GX Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SRX. It worked fine, but now the driver is broken, and I can't uninstall or reinstall it.I need to fully wipe it from my registry, harddrive, et al, in order to do a fresh install. I am somewhat computer literate, but still a bit wary of fiddling with the registry without knowing exactly what I am doing.Thought I should add that the bundled software uninstall doesn't work, nor does the Device Manager's. When I attempt to uninstall from the device manager, I get a message like "failed to uninstall, device may be required to boot". I need a manual removal.
