View 2 RepliesWhen i try to use msconfig to turn off several startup programs, no matter what I chose, when I click apply and ok, and close msconfig, and then open msconfig again, all the programs i tried to turn off have a tick by them again... there seems to be some junk programs there - i use AntiVir Guard as virus protection, so I guess it's unlikely to be a virus

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a problem. Quite recently I was using the msconfig to manage startup programs and services. I had to temporarily diasble all start up programs, and right after (no restart) i went to the services tab. I wanted to check the "hide all ms services" but accidentally i clicked on "disable all services." msconfig froze, so ended it and started it again. I went on the service tab and most of the services were gone (all essential & virusscan stayed).
Then I restarted it, and windows asked me to reactivate my account. I cliked on (do it through internet" and tried it. It didnt work. It said that there was no internet. I clicked on "remind me later" and the desktop loaded. My theme is now the classic theme! so i tried to change the theme and the the "blue/silver/olive" themes weren't there. So then i went to the help topics and it said "please run the help service" i did not know what this meant. So i thought that i should do system restore, but i couldn't! There was only one save point, and that was from when i just accessed system restore during this situation.
First off I am new to the forums and I really hope that someone can help me. I am not sure if I posted this in the right area but hopefully I did. Yesterday I relocated my girlfriends computer. I shut it down, disconnected everything and re-set it all up. Once everything was connected, I turned it on. I noticed that it took forever and that there were a ton of applications being opened upon start up. So I went to run and went to msconfig to disable them all. Afterwoods I restarted the computer. Once it rebooted, I did a disk cleanup as well as a defrag. All went fine. Then a window popped up saying that there was an update available and I agreed to update the computer. I remember it saying that it was a windows service pack 3. Anyway the update went through with no issues to my knowledge. Well this morning she went to use it an dnoticed that there were several problems. One the user account that was established no longer exhists, all of her photos, videos, and music is gone, and the computer is not reconizing the wireless card we have for the internet so she cannot connect. Naturally she is blaming me for all these problems cause I was that last person on the computer and I cannot see how I screwed this all up.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having some problems with installing certain programs on my computer, like Windows Live messenger and Windows Blinds. For some reason they're not recognizing the Operating System as Windows XP. Since the newest versions of the programs only run on XP or higher. This is strange because i know for a fact that I have XP Home SP2, I've had it for like 4 years or so.
Now, it's strange that this is happening because I had Windows Live messenger before, I wanted to try it out and I didn't like it so I downgraded back to MSN messenger, but now all of my friends are using Live and some things just aren't compatible with both like the Video convo thing. I tried reinstalling it but it says that I require to have Wind XP or Later, same thing happened with Windows Blinds 6.0. I tried installing Win Blinds 5.0 or something like that and it worked perfectly fine, because it's compatible with lower versions of Windows such as 2000, NT and ME.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 11 computers at one of my work venues that I use for a class. I would like to disable some of the startup items on them. They are all 2000 or NT OS. When I type MSCONFIG in Run I get a message saying"cannot find the file (or one of its components)". I did login as administrator, by the way. I don't have the discs for these machines. They were donated by the County for our use.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Windows XP Pro installed with all the updates. I have an Asus P5ND2-SLI Delux motherboard (it takes DDR2 533 and 667 memory). I had 2GB of DDR2 533 memory; I removed those and installed 4GB of DDR2 667 RAM (Kingston KHX5400D2K2/2G). When Windows XP runs, it shows 2.25GB of RAM only!! The BIOS sees 4GB of RAM and I ran Asus PC Probe and it sees all four 1GB modules (a total of 4GB) ... what shall I do to get XP to see the 4GB of RAM? Shall I reinstall?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Samsung SATA hard drive, a Sony CRX225 CD-RW and a Plextor PX-708A DVD-RW. I hadn't used the burners for a while, now they aren't working (can read from them but most of the time won't write). In the device managerdriveproperties, Win XP sees them all as SCSI devices. How is this possible? The BIOS has them as IDE primary and secondary drives, so where does the SCSI come in? Could this be part of the burning problem I am having?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently turned off a lot of XP services that I thought I didn't need so that I could free up some CPU cycles for my flight simulators. Now, when I try to burn files to a CD, I get a message telling me to insert a CD-R into the drive? I'm using the program built into Win XP and it seems to start normally, it's just not recognizing the CD-R. Strange, but the CD burner was recording fine until I turned off the services. It plays fine otherwise. I've tried turning services back on but no luck. Does anyone know which service may enable this function?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Dell Dimension desktop is running Win XP Media. A few days ago the mouse simply stopped working and on a reboot it did not fix it. I was using a wireless keyboard and mouse and noticed the light was not coming on on the receiver/transmitter so thought that perhaps that might be the problem. At the time I did not have another keyboard with a usb plug, my childs pc had a ps2 keyboard and i do not have a ps2 port. So I used my childs pc and my wireless keyboard and mouse work perfectly on it, including my transmitter/receiver.
The problem is obviously not with the hardware since they do work on her pc. I did however purchase a new keyboard and mouse - usb this time. I get the same issue. The keyboard works fine as I am able to boot in safe mode, enter the set up etc and can move around in those screens. As soon as it hits the XP log in screen though I am screwed, the keyboard is useless and with no mouse I am unable to click on my user name to log in...............
my mother discovered the internet 1 year ago and now she's addicted to it and is going crazy without it! My sister unplugged her Dell PC, to move it, and for some reason the computer now isn't reading the Westell Modem for the internet. Called the ATT ISP and we figured out it wasn't the ethernet cable, instead, its the PC which just isnt reading the ethernet to get on the internet. When I did IPCONFIG the IP Address doesn't show up. This is basically what it says: c:Documents and SettingsDiana Cresswell>ipconfig.........

View 1 Replies View RelatedOver the weekend while doing some electrical work, I shut off the power to the room containing my computer. I had a hard time getting it to Start Up, but all seemed fine accept I had to re-set the clock. Then I shortly discovered that it would not recognize either D: or E: drive, I finally did get them both to recognize an audio cd but only after opening them through WMP. Usually they start when placed in the drive, and it will use my default player (Nero). When I looked in "My Computer" it prompts me to insert a disk ?? I am running Windows 2000 NT Pro and the C: drive seems to be operating fine.
