I recently had problems with IE8 so I Uninstalled and installed IE7. All my favorites are under my favorites folder: Document and settings/Dell/favorites.When I try to go to one of favorites it tries to print for some odd reason. All the favorites have the unknown file format picture with them. When I try to add a new bookmark it does the same thing. It adds it to my favorites but won't open the website. It's like the URL isn't there with the favorite. Please help this is a friends comp and he needs it tom for school.
I hate service pack 3.All its done is take my Superduper 2 gig system and turn it into an 8088 xt system.Is there anyway to remove service pack 3, or do I need to do a complete and utter reboot and reinstall of Windows, including all the updates etc?And is there a way i can save the existing updates so that I won't have to download them all again? If I have to do a compelete reinstall, im looking at an 8 hour job or more.
this had happened to me a month or so back ....sometimes when im online for more than an hour....then when i try to open IE or anything else...nothing opens...i even tried opening the taskmanager but that too does not open.....nor does the start button...it only becomes ok when i restart the computer by hitting the reset button on the cpu...i had got rid of this problem for a while when i uninstalled NAV...i assumed the problem was with NAV...but the problem has started again.... i ran TDS 3 and it said that there were no trojans found. But it says i have to update it althought i have the latest update installed.
I bought a new keyboard, and to install it I had to uninstall the old drivers (it was wireless, so is the new one.) After doing that and rebooting, it no longer picks up any keyboards once its in windows. It picks it fine in bios (and I can choose which OS to load.. I have fedora on a seperate HD, not the one I boot off of). This is true for every keyboard! Wireless or not! So I'm stumped.Either windows removed some file when uninstalling the last wireless software, or I donno what else it could be.Any ways I can this fixed? I was thinking if I bypass the password into windows then I can reinstall the drivers. I think a normal XP cd would work?
My Laptop XP Pro with SP3 is totally different to the same on my PC, where I upgraded the Sp's as they came out. So the format is different between the two.I wanted to un-install my laptops version and install the version downloaded from MS, but I don't have the option to do so in Add/Remove on the Laptop as I do on the PC. Its listed, but no option to remove/uninstall.Can I un-install this SP3 in the registry or anyother way or could I just install my version and overwrite the current SP3.
I tryed a firewall called Comodo. I was not impressed because I could not get it to allow alot of my apps access even after creating rules ect. I uninstalled it, which was a nightmare and took forever because their installer is bugged! anyway, I have gone through the Regedit and deleted all ref's to comodo, deleted the folders ect. Best as I can tell everythine has been removed. However I have programs, apps and games that used to access fine BEFORE installing Comodo that cant connect now! Should I do a reinstall of XP? or is there some other files that the firewall might of moded that can be replaced? Any thoughts or ideas? I have a post on the Comodo Forums, but after searching most of the day I have yet to find anyone with a problem like this after following the manuel uninstallation and I'm not to hopeful...

I recently and unwittingly uninstalled my SoundMax program that I assume was my sound driver. As such I can no longer receive audio from my speakers, and the speakers themselves are not recognized by XP. The speakers themselves, by my judgement, are Logitech Z-3e speakers, bought several years ago and working perfectly until this point. They are connected correctly. I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3, with the latest updates. WMP gives me the message: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device" In WMP, under Sync--->Options--->Speaker Properties, the speaker is listed as "Default DirectSound Device" and there is no other option. In Audio Device Properties, there is apparently no audio device. I visited the logitech site for a new sound driver, as XP Help reccomended, at the following site:....

I am running a windows XP system. The other day I was uninstalling a piece of software that I had downloaded and wasn't paying attention as I clicked through the prompts and inadvertantly uninstalled it and the sounds for my computer. Is there a way to reverse my blunder and return this computer to its beeping and whirring glory. The computer is my landlords and he is being very restrained in his reaction to my inattentiveness.
I uninstalled Cyber Scrub Professionl Suite v. 4 and it left behind a persistent devil--cybshell.dll It can be seen in Process Explorer displays hiding in explorer.exe in the startup list. I cannot see it running in Task Manager. HiJack This doesn't see it either. Yet I can't delete it. I get the usual XP admonition "Cannot deleter cybshell: Access is denied--Make sure that the disk is not write-protected or that the file is in use.
I've recently uninstalled a program I had on my computer called Venturi2. It had been running in the background and didn't seem to be serving any purpose so did so. I did get the feeling it had something to do with graphics though.This was maybe 2 days ago. I tried playing a game right now (Command and Conquer) and for some reason it was lagging horribly. I've ran it fine in the past. Are these two things related? Either way is there some way to redownload the program? I've tried googling all over but the only links I find are linking to an informer.com domain, whereupon it says it doesnt have the software but to try googling it.
Running Windows XP on a one year old Vostro 220. Problem seems to have started after I replaced McAffee with Norton 360 per Comcast's changeover. I have since uninstalled Norton but the problem persists. Ran PSA which showed no hardware or memory problems. I believe Norton must have changed some of the registry values. I am running Norton on my laptop with Windows 7 but that is not a problem.
I have 18.4 GB on the C drive.About a year ago, I needed more space so Iuninstalled programs that I hadn't used for awhile, and it cleared enough several gigs of space for me to do stuff again.Afew months later, although i hadn't added any programs, I was out of space again. This time, I got rid of even programs I did use. I cleared a few gigs again, but a month later, it was gone again. I moved all my picture and text files onto external drives.
Uninstalled microsoft office 2003. she says it is still showing in add and remove she gets this error file-sku112.cab--the problem is she doesn't have the office disk that came with computer in 2005. i seached several forums on this problem there doesn't seem to be a simple solution without the orignal disk.
I installed a second version of Windows XP on my computer. If memory serves, I installed it on the same directory as my original operating system. I uninstalled it shortly thereafter however, every time I boot up, the computer asks me which copy of XP I want to use. This despite the fact that I have since totally reinstalled windows and even replaced the physical hard drive.How can I get it to stop asking for an operating system that no longer exists?
Running XP Pro,And wondering how do I clean my registry of ALL the old uninstalled removed programs folders that were long, long ago removed but still remaining in software areas of the various HKeys?
I am running XP Pro 64 bit on a custom system(spec in profile.) For the last couple days I've been getting program errors saying that the program has encountered an error and needs to shut down. It started with Call of Duty 4, then Firefox, then AIM and my HP Printer software. Then the computer crashed, and kept rebooting at the Windows loading screen. I eventually got it to load Windows by running Last Good Config. When I got to the login screen it told me the registry hive at ntuser.dat file was corrupted, and then when I logged in Windows said it said Windows had recovered from a serious error. I checked my drive properties and it was terribly fragmented, so I ran defrag, then uninstalled some junk and ran CCleaner and a Registry defrag program and then defrag'd again. The computer worked fine for awhile but it crashed again and the program errors are still occuring sporadically. I think the Software registry hive is corrupted.

For instance when i went into my Control Panel and went to task bar and start menu option I wanted to see if my desktop icons were locked. So i browsed around and when i did i saw all the icons left from old software programs i do not and have not used as a matter of fact some programs i did not have no more than 24 hours because i did not like it at all.. My question is how do i safely remove these folders and files in my program files and how do I get rid of these icons. It is disturbing to know you uninstalled thru add/remove programs yet there is still stuff in the program files under YET GET THIS the name of the software program i just uninstalled something is wrong here. Anyway just teach me or someone please advise preferably from technet because i do not want to screw up my registry or anything else like other programs
On boot up I get a notice that file americ~.dat could not be found. Everything is working ok as far as I can tell but this is busting my chops and annoying the hell out of me. I have run registry cleaners thinking this is a left over from an application I uninstalled but it still shows up. An ideas on how I can track down what is looking for this file?
My kids downloaded limewire this weekend and downloaded a bunch of stuff--spyware included I think. Anyway, there are now tool bars installed that we keep uninstalling that reappear instantly, other programs we can't uninstall. Our MS Anti-spyware beta won't even run, we keep getting an error that says "rendering lens," and the computer is dragging in general.
I have one internet program,( with my bank), that freezes every time I open it. If I delete my Sun Microsoft Java then it runs. This does not happen to me on a laptop that I uses. Both machines run Win XP.It's a pain to keep adding ang removing the Java.
