I recently downloaded some updates for my sbcyahoo accounts. After downloading the updates and re-installing the software for sbcyahoo, I was unable to load my main webpage because of receiving a message stating: unable to load due to failure of gifview.dll. try re-installing to make this work properly. I have no idea how to re-install gifview.dll. I am having a very hard time trying to find a download.
View 6 RepliesI recently reformatted my laptop's hard drive. After reinstalling windows and all necessary drivers, my Windows Update is now always telling me I have updates ready to install. When I click on the icon in the taskbar, it starts installing. When it finishes, the icon goes away. However, 2 seconds later, the icon comes up again saying I have updates ready to install. The update I always need to install is MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update (925672) and MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update (KB927978).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just reinstalled windows. After going thru a-lot of problems (tried to install windows on SATA drive without having a floppy) i succeed. I thought that was the end for my problems (for now at-least) and started installing my drivers. also formatted all the other partitions and restarted the computer. Before restarting everything worked properly. When the computer booted and the windows loading screen went on I thought it'll take it a few seconds, but it went for like 10 minutes and didn't stop loading. I decided to grab something to eat and went for about 10 more minutes. when I came back it was still loading so i decided to restart.
When windows got to the safe mode screen i decided to choose try the last best setting and it helped. windows loaded properly but didn't have the drivers i installed before, so I installed them. restart again and windows not working again. back to take the last best setting and back to windows working. I did it step by step (installing a driver and rebooting...) but didn't installed RAID controller and USB driver.
Since i don't need them i decided to not installed them. but my problem occurs when i try to update windows. Internet Explorer stops working as soon as i go inside "windows update" or "microsoft update", but i know it worked before i did the first restart. Also going to the Automatic Update tab in System Settings gives me an error.
I am having trouble updating the spywareblaster 33. It says the update is successful but when I check the status, or try to enable the protection it states database error. Is anybody else experiencing the same problem? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Initially all seemed to be going well I got as far as the desktop and an invitation to take the tour, which I declined and went straight to connect to the internet. At the same time I opened a previously prepared set of instructions for completing the wizard.
I noticed that the instructions would not scroll easily, moving in little jerks, but I carried on. About half way through the wizard the computer froze. Finding nothing on the keyboard or mouse that would work I switched off the power.

View 12 Replies View RelatedWhen I purchased my lap top from Dell 2.5 years ago I made a backup OS CD. The computer did not come with the xp disc. I need to re-install the OS now-computer is slow, sluggish and just acting down right weird. I know its time, so as I gathered up the gutts to do this but when I popped in the cd and began the process it asked for the key number. I dont have that because I made the disc. I just followed the directions when I bought the computer. Now what do i do? I would rather purchase and upgrade to vista but when I ran the program to see if I could, there were some issues, plus its getting old and needs more memory, ram etc. Sooo this is the next best thing untill I breakdown and get a new PC.

When I turn on my PC the POST and the Windows Loading Screen appear on the monitor, but then after that the monitor says there is no input when I'm supposed to be able to see the login screen. The monitor is still working properly as I'm using it right now with it connected to my laptop.The only thing I can think of doing is reformatting and re-installing Windows XP. I've got all my data, because I made a backup on the external HDD the night before, but I'll check it on the laptop to see if it works before I do anything. I was going to do a reformat anyway as I kept getting blue screens when I tried to play games or use Windows Live Messenger's sharing folders, but I'd still like to be able to actually go on the PC one last time to see if I've got everything.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am getting really frustrated with the Windows updates, have 3 computers, 1, the newest one, constantly warns me to update, the other 2 are older, but all of them XP with SP2 and somehow I managed to stop the bothersome popup. I am on dial-up, no one can call me, since MS constantly updates despite I unclick automatic updates. My Windows folder on the new computer is 3 GB and originally it was under 1 gigabyte. This computer is only 4 weeks old. So if nothing ever gets really fixed, why take up so much space? And why update? Where can I find out just how large the Windows directory should be? My other old laptop, where I reinstalled the original 6 year old version of XP and then from the disk Microsoft has sent me SP2, I did not update ever, It works just as fine.
