I downloaded the latest episode from the Hugel CD (Ragnarok). The installation was successful. But the problem is when I click start game, Ragnarok will open then immediately close. I also tried reinstalling my Ragnarok but its still the same. I have all the latest players like java players, adobe flash player and Direct X 9.0. My Specs are 80GB hardisk, Intel P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB RAM. But all other programs are working fine.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was downloading some music and a movie for my sister through Azureus. I went to a torrent site and chose the file and began to download. However, when I started to download Azureus immediately shutdown. I did not understand why so I re-opened the program and, again, it shutdown. Not knowing what was happening, I decided to open the file's folder in my documents. However, as soon as I tried to, the window closed. It was at this time that I began to think I had a virus. So, I opened my AVG and ran a scan. As soon as the program scanned the folder the files were in, I was given a message stating that the program encountered a problem and needed to be shutdown.
View 1 Replies View Related(1) When I start up my computer, I get a menu asking me to choose from either (a) Continuing to install XP or (b) Use 98. I don't want this menu, I just want to go straight to 98.
(2) When I choose the option to go to Windows 98, I get another menu (every time!) telling me to choose between NORMAL or SAFE MODE or a bunch of other options. I just always want to go into Windows 98 using NORMAL, I don't want to have to choose NORMAL every time.
(3) Once I get into Windows 98, I cannot shut it down without holding down the power button on the computer. If I choose the Shut Down option, it just restarts the computer. If I choose Restart it also restarts the computer. I can choose Standby and it will go into Standby mode, but I want to be able to shut down my computer.
(4) Internet Explorer is not displaying websites correctly. In addition other windows on the computer look funny. For example, all of the text on Yahoo's website looks too large, even though I set the text size to "Smallest". Also, if I open up any folder, the icons are all overlapping.
my home network might have a virus, programs start up and suddenly close/disappear. On one of the computers an error comes up and says that windows is shutting down(lass.exe file), then it shuts down and reboots. My anti-virus software can't detect nothing. I downloaded the sasser fix and it doesn't detect anything.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHere is what is happening...When you type user name and password you are again presented with User name and Password dialogue box. You try hard to get in but to no avail. (make things worse, I made the change to the registry!...don't ask!) See Microsoft Help...http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555648/en-us
This solution could work if I had the computer on a network, but I don't.Basically I need to make the following change to the registry, but alas, I cannot get into safe mode and have not been able to make any changes in "repair(?)" mode when booting of XP cd.
I've gone through a lot of the threads in here and tried a lot of fixes, and I'm still having problems.
I have a Gateway, Windows XP laptop that's about 1 year old. A little over a week ago, it started "running slow". It's slow to start up (takes about 5-10 min), the mouse "sticks" sometimes although that is an intermittent problem, when I have multiple applications minimized (outlook express, firefox, My Documents, AIM), it's slow to toggle between them, and it's slow to open folders in My Documents.
Whenever I log on to a non-administrator account, my computer automatically logs itself off again before I get a chance to do anything. I see the logging on message, and before the desktop even shows itself, I see the 'saving your settings' message, and I'm back at the welcome screen. I'm pretty sure it's a bad configuration in one of the administrative tools. I'm running windows xp pro on service pack 2.

After it restores all the files and registry the computer needs a reboot, it comes up fine to a windows log in Ctrl-Alt-Del screen, you log into the system, it accepts the password for the local machine only, no domain access, and as soon as the Log in box disappears, the "Windows is Savings your settings" screen pops, just as if you did a start -> log out command. and that is all it will do, the hardware is the same, the system was running fine before the hard disk's motor died and crashed. the backup was from the week prior.

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast night I took the recommendation of Jeruvy and Arctik at this post and ran my virus checker (AVG) and spyware program (Spybot) in Safe Mode. You can read about the erratic behavior I was trying to correct in that post, but it's not directly related to the problem at hand.AVG found no problem, but Spybot found one malware program that it didn't find when not in Safe Mode: W32/GGDoor..I had Spybot correct it, which it said it did successfully. While I was in Safe Mode, I went ahead and cleaned up a bunch of temp files in each account's %temp% folder. I then rebooted.Since the reboot, I cannot properly log in to Windows -- not in regular mode nor in Safe Mode. When I log into any of the accounts (this is XP Home with multiple accounts), Windows logs me in, but before much of anything else happens, it says it is logging me back out.
