Do you have any clue why only some of my programs can access the internet? I do not use a firewall, nor a router.I use Windows XP Home Edition. However, for some reason, Windows (or something) just BLOCKS most of my programs. I have tried many things, and still, nothing has worked.

I have XP Firewall turned off by Group policy, yet it still pops up and me about blocking certain programs. Mainly I see it on DPMS.EXE right after installing Novell. I go to control panel and check the firewall and it says it is turned off by GPO.

i have a problem with windows whenever i try to search a folder. i type in what i'm looking for but when i hit enter the page shows the standard "page cannot be found". at the top it says that interent explorer has restricted content that could access my computer. this is obviously a load of crap because all i'm trying to do is use the search function. it's not just when i try to search that it happens, it also happens when i try to get to "my network places" using the locations found at the side of the screen when i'm in my computer.

I bought a computer that has SP2 already installed so I can't get rid of it. It blocks all the pop-ups I need to get to and makes my computer slower.I hate SP2.

I have a Windows Installer splash screen that pops up upon a reboot and which flickers thereafter. It doesn't install anything, and I can't kill it by canceling it while it appears. It blocks incoming emails, (they hang up at 50% downloading) although sometimes when I reboot the problem doesn't start again for an hour or so. It's sporadic, but it never goes completely away. I thought I had found the solution on this thread here: , but installing the downloads didn't solve the problem. I have no idea what Windows Installer is trying to install. To make things more interesting, Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel only shows very recent software. And System Restore fails for anything more than about a week ago, when the problem first manifested itself. I've purchased and downloaded RegCure, Fix-it Utilities 8 Professional, and CounterSpy. Ive run AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Spyware Blaster. While my registry is clean, no malware found, and my computer is running faster, all these were of no help in getting rid of this popup.
When I reboot, which I often have to do out of the Windows Task Manager because the popup is flickering too fast to do it out of the Start Menu, I usually get an error message saying that ccApp can't be closed. It reboots anyway, and sometimes I get back into a reasonably manageable system, and sometimes I don't.It don't know if the problem is related to Norton 360, but the Icon in the systray blinks when the installer is really going ballistic. I would try to uninstall and reinstall Norton, but it's not listed in my Add/Remove Programs list anymore, along with most of my other programs.

I have bad blocks on my hard drive. I was told to download check disk 1.03. and this software would mark the blocks as unusable, enabling me to reinstall xp maybe solve my problem. My problem now is I don,t know how to execute the program. When I tell it to run the message say c:tfs system in use. So i log off and it terminates the program

I'm a Mac User but bought a golf sky caddy (uses GPS to find your distances on a golf course) which required connecting the device via USB to the computer, loading a PC based driver and then having the website "communicate" with the device to download information.I successfully loaded the driver but to an error message from IE 6 says to the effect: "there is a security issue here and we're not going to let you access that web site". That dialogue box says "click here" for options around this. But that function does not work.

I am trying to create a full HD image of my Dell c800 Laptop using Drive Image 7 (circa 2003) to an USB HD. I have tried twice and received failures about my HD having bad sectors OR locked sectors. I ran check disc with repair and did not find any problems. Re-ran check disc from the boot disc that came with the application and found no problems with the disc. Tried again for a backup and received the same error. I am thinking it is one of the programs I have loaded has a locked sector or one of my processes that loads during boot is the problem?

So two days ago my computer suddenly decides that when I arrive back home it would want to start running like a win 95. Thus, I promted to shut it down. Once it arrived to the loading screen after the reboot nothing occurred. I then decided to wait... 30mins later it goes black and then the message arrives: "Winlogon.exe-Badimage The Application or DLL C:/Windows/System32/sfc.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation disk settings." I have alot of stuff on my computer I need for work, is the only option to deleted everything and re add XP?

Some 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.

For approximately the past two months my background is set to a solid color. Believe me I have searched everywhere and tried just about everything. I cannot change the picture, only the color that I set for icon backgrounds. That sounds kind of confusing but I don't know how else to word it. Anyway, anyone have any ideas on how I can get my background picture back?

I am having the same problem as I read on an earlier post. My desktop background color can be changed, but I am unable to change my desktop to a photo background. I'm running Windows XP Pro on an IBM Thinkpad laptop. I've tried all the obvious solutions, but I can't get any results.

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.

My 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

last night I was looking for a solution to get rid of the iexplore.exe process.It was taking up 100k ram and was lagging my pc so I thought it must have been a virus. As you may know if you try to end the prcoess it just keeps re opening.So I went looking on google for a solution and I came to another forum. This guy had the exact same problem I had and someone posted the solution.It all seemed quite technical so I thought the guy knew what he was up to.

I 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.

I'm Running WIN XP SP2, and my java is broken.to help explain how it is broken, i am having problems loading and running core windows parts, such as the Windows Search Bar, it just apears Black, solid black. i can't read the Version information in Internet Explorer (not like it matters, FIREFOX is the Way to Be), and some Local Content won't run, and i think that i opened windows help like 10 minutes ago, and i don't see it on my task bar.i find that web java works pretty well, and LIMEWIRE works fine, and that is a full java 2 based program. i have Sun Microsystems JRE 5 installed, if you need anymore info, let me no, i have a program that i want to activate, but i can't because i can't see the info on the page because it is java based.i do have System Restore on.

The sound on my computer is broken, any time I try playing music it says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly" No sound is coming from the speakers, all I ever hear is a beeping noise from the computer its self when, for example I try typing before I've clicked the page.I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime and it didn't work.

I have a windows XP box with SP 3. Once booted into Windows I immediately start getting Windows Installer trying to install something. Clearly there is a failed installation in there that windows installer keeps trying to install but can't. When try to intall something new I get the "This happens with windows in running in safe mode or windows installer is installed incorrectly" message. I tried installing windows installer 3.1, but it tells me it is already installed and quits. I tried installing the Windows Intaller Cleanup program that RProffit linked to, but then I get the windows installer is broken message and it can't install. Seems like I am in for a reformat and reload?

It's a Compaq presario 700 laptop, XP SP2 home edition, 486mb ram AmD athalon and for some reason just recently the sound is not working right.If I'm playing a music file the sound that comes out is all broken up.This just started happening within the last week and I did uninstall (delete) the sound drivers and when I rebooted they re-installed, but I have the same problem.
