I started having issues with IE8 although I do use Firefox for browsing, but still have to do my Windows updates and such. Then I ran a utility download to clean up PC and registry and lost the ability to do updates, and can't install Windows products, and my disk drives have driver issues. No, I did not backup or do restore point and I have tried my restore points to no avail.
View 1 RepliesFor several weeks now I haven't been able to download/update Windows updates. I have been working with Microsoft Tech Support (via the telephone)for several days now and we haven't been able to correct the problem(s). My question is... can I use the Windows Installation disk to "fix" any problems my machine is having with the downloads/updates? Is there a "fix" option on the Windows disk and am I at risk in using it? I don't want to lose anything on my desktop because it is the way I want it at this time.

the S3 sleep state to work on the Tyan Thunder K8N motherboard running WindowsXP Pro x64? When I check my sytem from within Windows, it only says it supports S1 and S4 sleep states... I have the most recent motherboard bios and all other 64-bit updates installed... but for whatever reason, no utility, test programs or even Windows itself sees that this motherboard supports the S3 sleep state.It's a logo'd desktop motherboard, so it is supposed to support S3, but I can't for the life of me get WinXP Pro x64 to recognize that it does.

I also am unable to search for anything that I put in a search bar like google or msn search. If I type the search criteria in the search box and press GO or the GOOGLE SEARCH button, nothing happens. The word just sits there like the buttons no longer work. I also tried downloading MS Antispyware and the system would not validate. I tried downloading the online virus scanner from Trendmicro.com and when I went to select United States as my download country and pushed the button next to it to submit my choice, nothing happened.

I have a strange problem. Windows tells me "updates are ready to be installed". This is the update-Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-042 - Critical Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (936227). I have installed this update at least 5-6 times in the last 2 days. I have just realized that this is the same update. I install, and 3 minutes later the icon is back telling me to install-Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-042 - Critical Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution (936227). I have restarted the computer after each install, but this has not solved the problem.I am running XP PRO/SP2. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem, but i recently activated Outlook 2003.

when you boot up, if there is a cd in the cd-rom drive, it seems to 'hang' during windows startup for about 30-60 seconds. During that time it doesn't seem to be accessing the drive. After the 30-60 second delay, it boots up fine. Point me in the direction I need to go.
I have reinstalled windows for the 3th or 4th time and I am in the process of reinstalling all my programs, I have a few questions:
1) can I erase the directories the programs previously installed in the old version of windows?
As you can see in the attachments, I have installed my windows under the partition D: , so can I just go and erase all the folders of the utilities of my previously installed windows in C: ?
2) just out of curiosity, I tried to run some utilities previously installed and some of them work, other dont work. what does this mean?
3) at the system startup, how can I erase the choice between the 4 windows? I just want to leave this present working version.
4) I noticed a general slowing down of the memory when I run an application, can it be because of this new installation? how can I improve this problem?
i am living in costa rica and just recently purchased what i believe to be a refurbished hp nc6000. in downloading some items from microsoft, i confirmed that i have authentic xp professional installed. however, the previous owner could not provide me with the original cd, hense my dilema. in deleting some previously loaded software, i believe i inadvertantly deleted some shared files for other programs. is there anyway without the original disk to repair the installation or operating system. i have read about hidden partitions and the like, but am not confident enough to try this. i have the serial numbers and whatnot for my xp professional software, so i am not sure if having that info allows me to do anything without the actual cd. one of the problems is i have downloaded internet explorer 7 but it fails to completely install. i have gotten the most recent service packs and updates from microsoft but still no progress. i would go out to the local best buy and get the appropriate software new if i wasnt living in the middle of a third world country. there are computer repair shops close to me, but everyone has spanish operating systems and mine is xp in english and i cant afford to chance losing it. is there any way to recreate the software or operating system back to its original format with all original folders and files intact?
