View 3 RepliesEvery time I start up my computer the settings in my ADSL connection is altered to nr;
004366098974893 Other settings in my dial up is also altered. I have run Spybot and Lavasoft Ad-Aware free spyware but they don't solve the problem. I also got icons called Lip Game, PORN DVD and Dating which I removed.
My computer recently became infected with an E-group Dialer and now I get these full screen pop-up ads that are usually very explicit the web address on the top of the pop-up ads says "The-Best-Promos.com" I need help getting rid of this!! I have downloaded Ad-aware SE, McAfee Virus Scan, Microsoft Anti Spyware, Spy Bot Search and Destroy,Spyware Blaster, and I have Spyware protection from AOL

I also, following some advice I found on TSG during a Google search, switched the Speed Disk service to "manual", as it was causing my HD to work overtime. As it was nearly 1am by then, I went off to bed. My system is protected by ZoneAlarm, Spybot resident, Norton Systemworks with auto updates. I do, however, have a broadband connection and leave the system on at night. I'm running Windows 2000 Pro. Monitor hadn't powersaved. Rightclick had stopped working, clicking on anything in my startbar had no effect, except "start", but that would only bring up the 4 items that would be above 'programs', and I couldn't click on them either. So, I rebooted, and everything worked fine. I was on the system for around 1/2 hour,I went downstairs for breakfast, and when I returned I found it in the same state.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've lately had some problems with my win-xp (home) following installation/ un-installation of daemon tools that corrupted some registry files. After an unsuccesfull repair-instalation of xp, i re-installed xp onto the secondary partition of my hard drive (d:, the original instalation being on c. I was intending to format the c: drive, then instal a copy of xp-pro i have onto it
finally moving the files i want to keep back from the d: drive onto the c: drive.The problem i'm now having is on formatting i recieve the error message 'system partition is not allowed to be formatted', as it is the primary partition. Can i go about formatting this drive in partitions and proceed with the re-install without having to remove the files i have on the d: drive? How might i go about this?
I started up the computer, watched the BIOS detect the RAM, hard drive, etc, and then was greeted by a blank screen instead of the Windows boot screen. It proceeded though, and after a few seconds flashed to another black screen, this time displaying the cursor. I'm guessing this is the logon screen, but nothing displays but the cursor. (Note that the video card and monitor are both fine...I tried swapping them out just in case.)

I downloaded the installer from the MS Download center (it didn't appear in Windows Update).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried to install XP Pro SP2 on my laptop and somehow my product key was no good. I first reformated my hard drive and Windows installation begun but I had to get out since the product key was invalid.I finally noticed I had the wrong disk. When I finally found the right disk with the right key, the old installation kept on coming back where I left it. How can I start all over again, with the reformating and reinstallation from scratch? I really don't know how to do this. Is there a special command at reboot? Do I have to put the CD in or not? I'm not sure anymore since it's been years since I've tried this.
