At least I'm pretty sure there's a .exe conflict issue here.
My explorer.exe does not start up when I restart the computer, then when I run it through the task manager it starts up for about three seconds then the desktop items and everything disappear again. I also never receive an error message with the explorer.exe crash. No "sorry, but the explorer.exe must close ect ect."
If you have Internet Explorer 8 and Service Pack 3, can you get conflicts if both are installed? I have had lots of conflicts, like freezing up and slow loading. To fix it, I had to revert back to 7.

View 7 Replies View RelatedEverytime I’m going online after a while my computer just restarts. The symptoms I noticed is that downloading of webpages becomes slower than usual before it restarts. Before it restarts a blue screen appears with some text in it but I couldn’t read it because it just flashes a split second. After my pc has restarted a box pops out saying –The system has recovered form a serious error. But it doesn’t state what kind of error it just ask if you want to send the info to Microsoft. I hope someone could help me here. What are the causes and what do I need to do? (by the way im connecting to the net thru a modem, dial –up)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh restore of Windows XP Media SP2 from manufacturers restore DVD, and downloaded all of the Hot Fixes and updates from Microsoft. Everything was fine for about a day, but now the system boots, I get to the black screen where it asks you if you want to start Normally or in Safe Mode, or last known configuration that worked. No mater what I choose, it just shuts off.
This is the reason I did the full system restore in the first place.I dont know if this is related, but when I hook up the hard drive to my laptop to scan for viruses and spyware (you never know), the hard drive keeps shutting on and off. But it doesnt do that when its hooked up to the tower in which it came from, so it might just be the device Im using
I tried restoring to a previous restore point on my computer a few times to fix some problems.

View 4 Replies View Relatedmy computer has given me this problem in the past- and it righted itself. Not this time. I have a SoundMax onboard soundcard on a Gateway desktop, and according to device manager, everything is working fine, but no sound could come from the speakers. So I decided, maybe it is a hardware thing- I happen to have another Creative sound card here, lets try it. It worked! Yay! Then I restart, and then it stoped working too!I have two sound cards, one onboard, one PCI, both appear to be in total working order according to XP, and neither emit any sound after I restart the machine so I am assuming this is a registry issue or something windows related.

So now when I do check disk it reboots, flashes a blue screen real fast (so fast I can't even read it) then restarts the computer, restarts check disk, restarts the computer, and on & on. It won't stop doing this till I interrupt check disk at the start by hitting any key but then I end up with a black screen with instructions which include safe mode, safe mode with networking, start windows normally & last known configuration
I can't boot from an installation CD to do a "repair" since Windows was preinstalled in the drive so I have NO CD. Does system recovery work?, who knows, I'm a noob and have no idea how to use it. The only thing I've tried to fix it was 2 things : 1) use system restore which failed; 2) use run> sfc /scannow but this file checker is also broken and will barely start before it errors and stops. I don't know what else to do besides reformat
system is restarting automatically during the boot process. An error message is flashed briefly before it restarts: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. "If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer.If this screen appears again, follow these steps:"Run a system diagnostic utility suppied by your hardware manufacturer.

So I was working with adobe photoshop and it absolutely refused to exit. I tried ctrl+alt+delete and after about twenty minutes it was still frozen on my screen. So I tried shutting the computer down normally, and it froze on the "Windows is shutting down" screen for like, the fiftieth time. So I had to force it off by holding down the power button. When I turned it back on to continue working, I got a message saying windows/system32/config (or something like that) was missing or corrupt. I pressed "r" since I don't know where my startup disk is and it restarted.
I have Norton GoBack, so I hit the space-bar to allow it to restore to about an hour earlier before I opened photoshop. This wasn't the first time this had happened. I've been getting the same message at every other start up for a couple weeks and this method worked fine every time. It seemed to be okay this time too but then it just RESTARTED for no apparent reason. When it got to the Norton GoBack screen I got a message saying the system had become unstable and needed to start over, and it suggested it was possibly because of a bug in an application or a hardware problem which is also possible.
My brother has a windows xp pro and the pc's history is not good It has many problems such as virus's etc but my brother can never be bothered too fix it.
It has had windows xp re-installed many times.!This new problem is just finshed the computer off.What it is, is when you turn the power on the pc it loads up to the screen which is black and says windows xp pro and has the small loading bar which is normal for all windows xp's, it keeps loading up and then all of a sudden it restarts the computer and it just keeps repeating this process and there is no stop too it
and after a few days of my computer not allowing me to open certain programs, I thought that a virus may have slipped through Norton. So I did a System Restore to the first of the month. But when my computer restarted, Windows opens but only my wallpaper will show up...no icons, no toobar and it won't allow me to click on anything or open any further

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've joined a bulletin board for financial stuff, and they're starting a chat room using something called OmNovia, which requires downloading Microsoft's Activex program. I vaguely recall people having nightmarish conflicts and difficulties after installing Activex, but that was a while ago. Does anybody have any feedback? I need to keep my regular chatroom (the popular Hotcomm program) functional, so if there Activex has the tendency to usurp your computer's resources or prevent competing software from running, I'll just pass on the OmNovia/Activex.

the computer boots up and goes to the windows 2000 screen but then the next screen would be the desktop but instead it reboots and goes to the same spot the 2000 screen but never makes it to the desktop, this happens over and over. I tried to go into safe mode but does the same thing tried command prompt only so I could type in SCANREG but it just reboots again I can't get anywhere to do anything.
The last thing I tried was last known good configuration. I clicked on it and a page comes up with all the writing I hardly got a chance to read it when it reboot again. but under the first paragraph wher it says something about last know good configuration it has a space and the it says project 1 like I could have click on that if I would have been fast enough.
