View 1 RepliesI went through the automatic update this afternoon and installed multiple updates. It attempted to install SP3 which failed, every time. I went to shutdown my computer and it did the install update before shutdown and i pressed ok. It went to the logout screen and got stuck at installing update and windows will shutdown after update. Well it never shut down so i shut it down myself. Now my computer is working however EVERYTHING is working very sluggish. Ive attempted to system restore at multiple points and no luck. It all successfully restores and such but is now VERY SLOW

If I go into properties>Screensaver and set the "Wait" time to 5 and press "OK", in 5 five minutes the screensaver will come on. However, if I move the mouse and wait another five minutes the screensaver does not activate. It will only activate once per time you set its properties.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am getting hanging at any time, where the harddrive light is on continuously, but the monitor is on standby. I sometimes get the blue screen, and other times it just won't boot to the Windows start-up screen In all cases though, when I do have a problem, a simple pressing of the reset button does not do anything, as the monitor never does come back on, therefore no reboot. Only after powering off and on a few times, does it finally kick in. I am on the same computer right now...which leaves me to believe it isn't a software or Windows problem, but perhaps hardware, either memory or video card, I have not installed any new hardware though

View 6 Replies View RelatedNewly installed copy of Windows XP SP2. Have installed most of my apps and games etc. Now noticing that my " key is not working very well. If i press it once - nothing. Press it again i get two " characters. Also works if i press it once and any other key. Its like the character is queing somewhere in the buffer. Now i thought it was the keyboard at first. So i swapped it out. Same problem. Weird. Thought it might be some strange interaction with loaded software but it happens on bootup at the login prompt when none of my apps are loading
View 2 Replies View Relatedmy computer has been acting up a lot lately, and has gotten really bad in the last few days...everythiing is just working slow, and it has been shutting off spontaneously. I posted the hijackthis log below. Derek, one of your moderators had been helping me out a few months ago with a similar problem, (thanks derek!) and i just posted this log on the end of our 3 page thread...but im not sure if he is still there, or checking old threads, so i decided to also post in a new thread.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIt keeps doing strange things. If you click on recent documents, it says they aren't there, but they are. If you click on a file, the program comes up, but the file won't open until you click it again. That's only a couple of examples. I've reloaded office and it didn't help. So I decided to reload XP. It says I have a newer version on my computer that what is on the disk and if I load it, I will lose files and programs. I'm assuming it's a newer version becuase of all the windows updates. I also keep getting SYS32 ? errors, plus run time errors.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running XP Home SP2 and using dialup to connect to my ISP.When I start the dialup connection, whether from clicking on the connection in the Network Connections window or by clicking on the desktop shortcut, it behaves strangely. Used to be that when the connection was established, an icon (two terminals) appeared in the taskbar area, and the NC window showed the connection status "Connected". Now, neither of these two things happen, so the only way I know I'm connected is hearing "modem talk" on my phone line.
View 7 Replies View Relatedit isn't acting right, but I have been trying to install norton antivirus. She bought the package and has a 2 year subscription, and afterwards we ran live update. It then asks for an activation key, which we have from the email sent to her. When we click OK to tell it that we want to put it in, it does nothing. No matter how long you wait or how many times you click OK, the box just sits there. For this reason, we cant update her virus definitions or get norton to protect her computer. norton is not the only button that will not respond. Somehow the viewpoint toolbar was installed on her computer. When we try to uninstall the viewpoint toolbar or if I go to add/remove programs and try to uninstall it from there, it brings up a box that asks are you sure you want to uninstall viewpoint It does the same as the norton box; it will not respond, even if I click yes and wait

View 2 Replies View Relatedcomputer have been in some other font other then one that is actually readable (seems somewhat simialar to the wingdings font, all characters are squares and triangle and stuff like that) Anyways I got most of it back by going through the desktop properties--> and into the advanced appearence, but some of them are still in that weird font even after changing all the availible ones to the default. Things like the xp logon screen, the part of google where you enter the text and the task bar. I searched google in most of the threads I've read claim that this shouldn't even exist because they say that when you change the active window font, it also changes the start menu font, but I've fixed the start menu font but the taskbar font is still all weird
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I tried to installed Windows SP3 as well as a bunch of other things and my computer kept crashing and acting weird. I couldn't pin point it so I had to re-format my computer and lost lots of stuff. I also had to re-format about 4 times for some reason. Each time Windows wasn't installing correctly.
So after a brand new fresh install of Windows XP I updated my computer and installed SP3. As soon as I did that my computer wouldn't log into windows anymore and once again I lost a few things. Now I know that SP3 is a bunch of crap.
