I'm slowly going out of my mind with my ageing laptop...! Im running windows xp home and recently upgraded to sp3. Im not sure if the update caused it but since since then I cant:
1) Install any updates from microsoft either singularly or multiple...
2) Log into messenger.... keep getting error code 800706ba scoured the net for solution and tried most of them..(install-uninstall-cleard/deleted cache etc)
3)Some weird display characters/lines. on startup a lot of characters have been replaced with others....
4) Word documents start with a warning that document could not be registered
Im running zone alarm security suite v8.0.059.000 up to date Not sure if this helps but.... on my search for answers, I have found a number of issues my windows installer was not correctly installed (trying to sort out updates when I found this out) so is now fixed dcom server process launcher is missing presumed lost in Services.msc
While looking through c drive to locate the cookies folder, I went into the windows folder and I found a stack of notebook entries all very similar.The title is copied and pasted from the last line in one of the notepad texts.I looked at some of the others and they are all alike.I have no iea what this is.Can anybody shed some light on this please?
XP Pro sp3. installed windows defender yesterday, but when i try to get update, i get that error..I did a forum search here, followed the instruction there in, but still cannot update defender. I can connect to the update site, and download updates, so i know its not a problem with connecting with the microsoft site.
Feel better now, Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)is installed on my computer, I am aware that update (KB930494), is critical and necessary to maintain security integrity within my system yet it will not load regardless of what I do, (disabled all virus protection; spyware protection...etc) and any other installed program that may interfere, still I cannot load this update and only this update. I have a detailed analysis of my system (BeLarc), every KB****** (windows update) is installed per the 08/14/2007 Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary and functioning beautifully except for this one. It will not load and does not give a detailed sheet message either. It simply states that that KB930494 was an unsuccessful update....
So this week MS released a critical update for IE6. The IE update failed on my machine.I submitted a trouble ticket via MS online portal which is free if a failure or anomaly occurs during a windows update. Yes, I gave permission for the MS portal to extract certain files.At the moment I am disinclined to download IE7 as my 99% preference4 is Firefox save for Windows and Office updates which require IE.Here is the response from MS.
Anyone here having probs trying to install this latest update from Microsoft?I'm running Winxp home sp2.The update just sits in my system tray and when i tries to install it it fails.
I am using windows messenger version 4.7 (wow thats old). How do I update ? will I have to uninstall the old version then install the newest. Or will it install over the current version on my system?
A friend installed his copy of XP on my machine many months ago. I already had my own license for XP at that point, but as a matter of convenience at the time, we installed his copy. Now as you know, MS won't supply automatic updates anymore, because they think I have a stolen copy of XP. Technically correct, but realistically, not quite that bad. How do I tell the operating system my correct license code? Will I need to reinstall the OS, or can it be done with less fuss?
In windows xp I have tried to repair windows live messenger. Corrupted files rendered it useless. I tried to reinstall-would not without uninstalling present version.....tried to update but said the version I had was newer than the one I was trying to install (not!)-try uninstalling and reinstall. Will not uninstall on this computer (Dell Dimension E520). I have tried add and remove programs, brute force, and creating a new administrator account.
I receive an error code every time I start up my computer: Could not load the target dll "BackWeb" directory does not exist on my computer. I recently allowed someone access to my computer for a time and came home to it being full of popups/errors etc, so I did a thorough clean with AVG and TrendMicro, and now no longer receive any virus otifications in scans. Registry errors and spyware still come up though, which I am continuing to try to take care of with CCleaner, Ad-aware, and Spybot S&D. Now, This was probably a corrupted .dll file, and considering the error message, it seems likely.
when i try to install msn messenger 7.0, it keeps bringing up an error, saying that Microsoft Windows Journal msi cannot be found. I don't know how that happened but, is there a way i can fix that problem?.

I have been getting the above message recently i click 'don't send' and the windows kind of closes and refreshes and i can still open stuff. now the problem is affecting things like msn messenger which has 'encountered a problem' two or three times now and needs to close. i ran a virus scan and got nothing.

After installing a couple of programs I was receiving this "Application has generated an exception that could not be handled" it asks to press ok to terminate and cancel to debug. Once I press cancel to debug it comes up with "No debugger found. Registed JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2(2). Please check computer settings." How do I fix this problem? I am running a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop with WinXP Home.

I am trying to get my usb flash drive to work, and I get this error message. Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer (Code 47). To fix this problem, unplug this device from your computer and then plug it in again.The only problem is, is that i don't have the device plugged in. I tried uninstalling the device and restarting, but there it is again at the start up. When I plug the device in, the computer will not read it.
I get the following message when I go to device manager and look at my cd rom drive, which has an ! on it."A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)"Recommended resolution The start type for this driver is set to disabled in the registry. Uninstall the driver, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall or upgrade the driver.On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard. If the driver is required, and if reinstalling or upgrading does not work, change the start type in the registry using Registry Editor. For more information, see the Registry Reference in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit I have done extensive research on this and all the work arounds that have been suggested do not work for me. The only course of action I feel is possible for me is to edit the registry. I have not been able to find any directions on how to do this short of buying microsoft's "Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit" which is suggested in all my research. This book is Hugely expensive.

When I start my computer (WinXP SP2) if fires up but hangs with a blue screen after I log in with my user name and password. I don't get any sort of error message; just a blue screen. I cannot do anything but turn it off. Not even the mouse will move. This happens everytime I start the computer.I have a Peer to Peer LAN connection between the above computer and another one running Windows 2000. If I connect via remote desktop from the 2000 computer to the WinXP computer it logs me on everytime and I never get the blue screen.I wonder whether anyone would have any idea how I can fix this as I don't want to have to keep RD to the XP computer from my 2000 computer.
About 2 weeks ago I was having a problem with my internet connection. So, I restarted my computer. Before it restarted it did an automatic CHKDSK and started back up, and that's when it all started. It started up fine until after I logged in. It took about 5 minutes until I heard the startup tone. Until then it just showed the blank desktop image. Then, I saw an error message having to do with McAfee saying it had not been able to start. Finally, the desktop images came up. Then an alert came and said no connection found, when there's a perfectly working router in front of me. Then another alert said this "Microsoft .NET Framework" on top. In box it said, "An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will be shut sown immediately. The operation completed successfully." Also, while shutting down my computer, this error came up: error code 0xc0000142. Also, my internet and Wireless LAN are definitely switched on!
I am running Windows XP on a HP Pavilion ze2000.I think I have a problem with Windows Live Messenger. Actually, I think I have several problems: 1. Messenger tries to load in my tray when I start the computer. It never did this before. It also does the same when I connect to my broadband via dialler. At the moment I am denying access through Zone Alarm. Is this normal? 2. In All Programmes I have a Windows Messenger Icon and a Windows Live Messenger Icon. Again, is this normal? There is only an option to remove Live Messenger in Add or Remove Programmes. 3. There is a "1 contact pending" message above the contact list in my Live Messenger, which leads to a "page not available" message when I click on it. 3. When I close Live Messenger, I get multiple "RPC Server Not Available" warnings which I keep closing but keep reappearing. They appear too fast for me to close them, so I have to restart my machine.
