View 7 Replies View RelatedFirst of all, hello everyone! I'm happy to have joined your community. I feel sort of bad for joining only to ask a question, but the boards just seemed so helpful I couldn't resist. Anyway, I recently installed the .net framework to a stable build of windows XP SP2, and now I'm having some problems. I deleted the asp.net account and checked the "don't use welcome screen" box in user profiles because I don't really like the login etc... that comes with it.
That was two days ago. This morning I turn on my computer only to have it take a long time at the windows loading screen, and hang at the off-blue loging screen without bringing up the login box. Now, I wanted to somehow get rid of the .net framework after I realised I didn't really need it, but now it's not even possible. I tried both entering in safe mode (hanging black screen with "safe mode" in the usual places) and using the last known working setting (and got the same off-blue login screen.) I don't mind reverting to a saved state, but I can't even access the desktop to be able to.
Windows XP. I already have a current anti virus - the ESET NOD32 Antivirus. My room mate who isnt familiar with sanity (Hehehe), installed Kaspersky. When she restarted, it hangs. You can only move your mouse cursor and that's it. When you try to click the Start Menu the mouse icon changes to processing (the hour glass icon) and forever remains like that. Nor can I display the Task Manager - mouse cursor still displays the everlasting hour glass icon.
When I got home and tried to boot the pc (it is a desktop computer by the way. not a laptop), it still hangs like crazy. So, I reboot, went to SAFE MODE and did the SYSTEM RESTORE, date before the Kaspersky installation. And it didnt work (obviously since I am here in this forum posting my problem). Computer still hangs like crazy and this time, it doesnt show any desktop icon. I didn't get mad with my roomate since I see no point of it. :P So, I just want this resolve. My last resort will be to reformat my Windows Drive C: but I am not ready to say farewell to some of my softwares that I have no soft copy.
had virus on system, I tried running as many anti-virus, malware, spyware, trojan programs in Safe Mode to no avail. I came to the conclusion that I should do a fresh XP install (SP2). Everything was fine after re-formatting and installing until I got to the "Installing Network" segment with "32 minutes approx remaining". The first time I waited well over 40 minutes and nothing happened. I restarted and started over with a re-format and the same thing happened.
I've tried everything I can think of:disconnecting the ethernet, removing all my expansion cards, making sure all of the on-board devices were enabled in the BIOS.
After recovering from a Windows XP Home SP2 crash, I received a message to reinstall iTunes. When I tried to uninstall in Add/Remove Programs, in preparation for reinstalling,the UninstallShield Wizard came up and then
disappeared with no follow-on.
I have a Dell DimensionC521 pc, windows XP home edition SP3. My default browser is Mozilla Firefox and I am using the free versions of avast and zonealarm. I have tried repeatedly to download i tunes. I go to the website I am asked for my email address and where I am located. I then click on download now and nothing happens.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI seem to have never been off these boards since I took over my husband's computer after he died in February. It is almost new and I gave my own two year old model to a needy friend.I had my friendly neighbourhood computer guy who "fixes" things for me, to transfer all my files and programmes from one to the other.One of the several items which I can't find is my iTunes. Over the years I have compiled a fairly comprehensive list of music which I downloaded to my iPod. Now my iPod has died of old age and apparently will cost more than it's worth to repair. I don't mind buying a new iPod but i do want my tunes back.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've had triple boot on my PC, 1st partition Windows Vista, 2nd partition Windows XP and on the other 3 partitions Debian Ubuntu (extended partition). I'm using Grub as my boot loader, everything was working fine, booting all 3 OSs was no problem. About 3 months ago my Vista OS stoped working (because I did some bad things with it) ... actually it isn't that important how I did that, because XP kept working (and Linux, of course, too). Like 2 weeks ago I decided to remove Vista, so I removed it using gParted by simply formating the 1st partition to an empty partition.Now my XP stoped working I thought it was because the boot.ini was placed on Vista's partition. So I used my XP installation CD to do fixboot etc, even fixmbr and I ran a chkdsk over the XP partition.

View 1 Replies View Relatedstays hung for about 52 seconds, then unhangs for 52 seconds, then hangs for 52 seconds, I am running an older Compaq desktop with a Pentium III processor, and a 30 GB hard drive (approx. 11 GB free). The system has 256k RAM.It is running Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2 (build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301_1519). It also has Norton Internet Security 2004 (v7.0.6.17) and Norton Antivirus (10.0.1.13) with current virus definitions.Sometime in mid-September, my husband (who uses this machine, not me) complained that the machine was hanging on a regular basis. He bought and installed System Mechanic 5 from ioio. (No other new software or hardware was installed immediately prior to the appearance of the problem.)He found a number of problems, cleaned them up, defragged the disk, but the hanging problem remained..
He asked me for my help several days ago, and using the information gleaned from this site, we've downloaded and run the Ewido 3.5 scan (and fix - both free), and then Xoftspy v4.16. I purchased a registration key for Xoftspy, and we've run the fix utility from that, cleaning up the threats, but the hanging problem remains.I'm attaching a log that was created tonight from Hijackthis v1.99.1 in the hopes that you can save us from this problem! I have better things to do than struggle with this.
IE8 downloaded and hangs. tried to cancel and it just stayed on the screen running the IE8 downloading screen. I used the start menu to shutdown the pc.
on restart it lets me go to the bios. nothing I see there helps. I know just enough here to be dangerous restart if I pump the esc button the option to "start from" appears, but, if I choose anything it just hangs. I cannot access safe mode by pressing f8. it does nothing . goes to a black DOS like screen with a blinking cursor won't let me type anything and beeps at me except it will let me turn num lock on and off and use crtl+alt+delete to restart
So I'm running XP on a pretty decent laptop...

The problem i am having is that when i right click on a FILE i get the hourglass for about 10 seconds and just the context menu is not loading. Nothing else on my computer is hanging. When i right click on a FOLDER it goes instantly.I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING, that i have some shell extension installed to do something special with files. Well, just to prove that wrong beforehand... I have two external hard drives. When i right click on a FILE located on one of those drives, it goes instantly.
So i thought maybe it was my hard drive... So i moved 30 gigs of music off of it, and i defraged it.
I have an old computer. My uncle threw it together from scraps and sent it to me. It ran very well for about a year or two. It runs off Windows XP Professional. The problem with it now, and i just cannot figure it out, is when i go to start the computer. The computer boots normally, and so does windows, however when it displays "windows XP" just before showing the users list, it freezes. The mouse still is able to move, but it is as if there is no more users at all on the computer. I have been tinkering with it for over a year and still cannot find a way of getting into it, or getting it to work. Reformatting the computer is not an option because i have important information on the hard disk. Got any advice?

Then I installed iTunes to connect to my iPod. I then tried to use Roxio and it could not find my DVD RW drive!! I then uninstalled Roxio and then installed it again. I could then find the DVD RW drive but iTunes said it could not initiallize the drivers to burn CDs. How do I setup my computer so I can use multiple CD/DVD buring software packages?

I wanted to remove iTunes from my PC, but my PC complained that it couldn't find missing "strings". I attempted a reinstall, but got
"1628 installation failed " message. When my PC boots up however, it loads iTunesHelper and iPodService and mDNSResponder and there are
shortcuts on the desktop, but no entry in the Add/Remove Programs list. I have followed the advice on Consumer Install Shield (eg emptied temp folder, tried to use the Windows install clean up tool) but still can neither install, nor unistall iTunes, nor Quicktime. i have Win XP with SP2, Soundblaster Audigy,Athlon 1800+, ATI Radeon 9600
from my limewire i bring the music into my iTunes library and was wondering if there was a program or somethign that scan my library and complete artist, song name, cd, and album, and all the other data without having to go through all my songs and find the info.

View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing XP Pro - installed SP2 two days ago. I did everything recommended prior to install, such as updating everything possible (including BIOS). Ad-Aware and NAV 2004 (up to date) both indicate a clean system. NAV 2004 disabled during SP2 install. Defragmented and checked disc, etc, etc.Since installing SP2, System Restore has stopped working. I noticed it first when auto update downloaded updates after the SP2 install. When I tried to install them, the install just hung (because it tries to create a restore
point prior to installing the updates, and System Restore won't run). So I can't install updates either. I'm not even sure what 'HarddiskVolume2' refers to? I only have one disk (C with a very standard XP Pro configuration.In September last year I tried installing SP2 but ran into the same problem. I spent days trying to sort it out, but eventually the MS people recommended I remove SP2. They said it may have been a corrupted download, so this time I ordered the CD. This install was from the CD, but exactly the same problems have occurred.Booting in safe mode doesn't help because it doesn't let you create a restore point, only to restore to a previously created one.System Restore was working perfectly for 2 years prior to this under SP1. I would rather not turn it off, because I don't want to lose the restore points I have to get back before the SP2 install! What else can I do???
I installed a clean win xp professional OS on a new rig (quad processor), no issues. Then I did a Acronis recovery from a uniprocessor pc, and installed the correct mobo drivers. Still no issues. The I did a restart and a repair install to load the mobo sata and AHCI drivers. The pc restarts, but everytime I open a program from windows, for example Windows Explorer, or Software from the configuration screen, or Network Connections, I get a window with "Windows Installer", waiting for something to load. The version of windows on my old pc is sp3, after the repair install (I used a win xp slipstreamed with sp2), I see sp2 on my info screen of computer properties.
