My computer has been experiencing a rather peculiar "problem" for a while now and no one can figure it out.

Every now and then, I get a message titled Server Busy "The selected action cannot be performed because the server is currently busy../ then it says something else which I don't remember. I have two options, one is retry, the other is switch to. It takes several clicks for it to go away, and when it does go away the result is an advertisement pop-up on IE.

As I said, strange thing, rather annoying. It makes my computer slow and then results in a pop-up.

Any help is appreciated.Armando:

The server is likely a Web server that a program on your computer is trying to contact so the pop up ads may be sent to you.  

Try downloading, installing and running this program:

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

It is one of the best adware REMOVAL programs available (i've been using it for years, now) and it is free for personal use.

Regards,
DocDoc,

I already have that program, I install all updates and all definitions on it every week or so. I have been running it for a long time now. Unfortunately, that hasn't done anything to help the problem.

I'm thinking (I'm not computer PERSON, so my thinking might lack logic) that the server busy thing shows up because the pop up trying to "pop up" cant because I have pop up stopper.

I don't know :SArmando:

Have you installed any browser helper objects (like search toolbars for Internet Explorer, or something that adds a feature to your Web browser)?

I use Mozilla FireFox but I do know on my IE I have AIM and MSN toolbars.

I have another thread in the IE section of the forums asking about deleting IE because I did think that could be one of the problems causing my to get these server busy thingsWhat operating system are you using?

Microsoft Windows XPIn that case dump Ad-Aware... Junk program... Becuase you have Windows XP, your system is compatible with one of the best Spyware killers around... Microsoft AntiSpyware BETA... Downlaod it here... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=321cd7a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en ... Install it, configure it, UPDATE it, scan with it, and bring us your results.  

[glb]Flame[/glb]OK, lets try this:

Click Start then Run.

In the Run dialog box, type MSCONFIG and click OK.

In the System Configuration Utility, click the Startup tab.

Write down every program (Startup Item) listed there and leave a reply here to let us know what they are.  One of us will do some reasearch and let you know which one is likely responsible for the annoying popups.

I have that and I have already used it

I will delete AdAware and I'll run the other one and post the results ASAP.

Thank you FlameNo NEED to delete ad-aware; it's a helpful program.  Did you mean CLOSE ad-aware?Oh, ok- I won't delete it then

I'll just use the other one as well. Quote

one more question, whats the difference between a hardware firewall and a software firewall, and how do i tell the difference? ta.

what anti virus system would you recommend to replace norton?

I go to add/remove programs in the Contol Panel and all looks fine. There is the list of all the programs on my computer. I begin to scroll down the list, when about halfway down a large solid black area appears. Keep scrolling and the black area breaks up into wide black lines. Scroll down farther and the second half of my programs appears looking normal. If I click on this black area, the white area around it turns blue. This black plague doesn't seem to effect anything on my system, but it SURE is annoying and shouldn't be there.  Tried system restore to no avail. Tried changing user accounts to no avail.  Tried sfc /scannow, again to no avail. ANYONE have any ideas as to this Black Plague? Could it be virus? try a trend online scan.........or a  over heating problem?Why do you call it Black Plaque?

Have you scanned for Viruses, Trojan Horses and Spyware? If yes, what scanners are used?Raptor - could be a virus. I use Norton Antivirus 2005. Hear it doesn't always detect everything. Also have us of Microsoft Anti Spyware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Spyware Guard, WinPatrol, Ad-Aware. Been wanting to try AntiVir Personal EDITION 6.27 (maybe a good time to start). Will try an online scan.Virus scanners
AVG Free
-- Anti virus scanner
Trend Micro Housecall
-- Online anti virus scanner.Raptor and merlin_2
 Ran Trend Micro's Housecall, came out clean. Guess a virus isn't the problem. Been told I should do a recovery. This problem doesn't seem to be spreading, so I will try to avoid doing a recovery to try to fix one panel out of hundreds that has a problem. Appreciate your suggestions. Have tried them.  If you have any other suggestions outside a full recovery I will try those also. Thanks.Have you scanned for Spyware as well?

Anti spy/malware
Microsoft Antispyware
-- Anti spyware scanner. Windows XP Home and Professional only.
Spybot Search & Destroy
-- Anti spyware scanner
Adaware SE Personal
-- Anti spyware scanner

If spyware scanners discover nothing, try using REGISTRY scanners:

Easy Cleaners
-- Freeware registry scanner
Registrar Lite
-- Excellent replacement for Windows Regedit
Crap Cleaner
-- Freeware registry scanner/history cleaner

Caution is advised when using these programs!
Create backups of all important FILES before proceeding.see if this typed in the runbox sorts it REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPLmerlin_2 and Raptor,
 I don't think it's spyware. I run Microsoft Antispyware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Ad-Aware, daily. Also have Spyware Guard, Hijackthis, and WinPatrol on duty. I'm also fairly adept at Registry editing (been forced to remove programs manually, amoungst other things). Always backup the registry before any editing. Run RegClean and ASO's Advanced Registry Optimizer about once a month. But merlin_2, this REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPL is new to me. I typed this in run and it came back to me with "DllRegisterServer in APPWIZ.CPL succeeded". I have no idea what that means??
Could this be the problem?? Thanks both of you for sticking with me.Have you tried the scanners as well?http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q266668

The other day my computer started RANDOMLY turning off in the middle of doing things, it's just POW, dead, gotta restart. Sometimes it TAKES an hour, sometimes it take 5 minutes. It doesn't happen at any specfic point i can tell. If ANYONE has any ideas about what might be causing this please help me out.The most obvious reason:

Scan for viruses, trozans, spywares, etc.Can you please give the full system specifications, AGE of the computer, operating system, and which programs you are using?

Also a list of the anti-virus and anti-Trojan programs which you are using would be helpful.

I have window xp with ntfs partition and made a folder private.
Suddenly ONE day the window REFUSED to START so I put my xp cd and reinstalled. All files and folders is accesable except that one I made private.

How do I again access that folder?
As I use same User name and password as before also I am unable to access.
Do Suggest in this matter.

UpeshTry taking ownership of that folder.By the way, how have you reinstalled WITHOUT formatting.

Just copies on the EARLIER system directory.

Hi,

How do i find out how much of my LAN is being used.
What process is using the most.

A typical one, but i need it.

ThanksVibhor:

That DEPENDS on WHETHER your local area network is set up as a workgroup or a DOMAIN, and on what operating system your local computer has installed.

How Come?

In the LAN you can have various OS's.

Further there can be a mixture of domains & workgroups.Install a TOOL such as DU meter.I'll give it a go.

Aren't there any commands like netstat, tracert, etc. by which i can get idea.

Hi, I read about my problem in one of the topics but I am totally new to this and do not know how to post my question on that specific topic.  My computer keeps looping during boot up (I have windows XP).  Yesterday we had a blackout and my computer shut off, today the computer kept freezing all day long today, it wouldn't even restart, had to shut it off manually.   However, i think i also have a virus in system 32 because AVG keeps detecting it but cannot heal it or delete it.  I have installed ewido, has been a lot of help but not ENOUGH.  Now I cannot get to my files.  Please let me know if you can help me and what type of information you need (remember I am totally new and need plenty of help).
thanks  Nailia:

Are you able to start your computer in Safe Mode?  Do you recall the exact name of the virus AVG DETECTED?

DocThanks for your response, no I cannot start windows at all, it just keeps looping back to the same page where it gives me a choice to start in safe mode, ETC....
the name of the virus is system32/rdrv  I have not been able to get rid of it at all, it seems to copy itself and it keeps popping up.  But the day before yesterday we had a blackout and my computer was shut off....yesterday I starting having too MANY problems and then I was not able to open up windows...

Hi! Do you know how can I MAKE in order to separate all the attachments of mails and STORE them in another directory? May I use a batch file? What do you suggest?
thank's
gb Right clik the attachments; choose Save as and POINT them to the Directory of your choice.

patio.  GB:

What e-mail program are you using?

Hello! Thanks for replying!
I think I didn't explain the situation clearly. So I hope I'll be more understandable this time.

My problem:

I receive every day about 300 mails, everyone has an attachment (a file Excel '.xls'). These mails are stored in a specified folder. As "e-mail program" I use Lotus Notes. I would like to separate the attachments from the mails and store the Excel files in another directory automatically. This means that I don't want to open every single mail and extract the attachment because it will take too long! I thought that maybe it was possible to accomplish this action with a batch file when I open the "e-mail program" or I boot my computer.

I've found that the "e-mail program" Eudora allow you doing this operation. The problem here is that this program doesn't distinguish between the attachments and put also unwanted attached file in the directory.

looking forward to your answers.
have a nice day

gb Will windows scripting help.

ok something happened to my computer this week and it's slowing it down majorly.  I've decided to do a clean install since it's been about a year since i last did one.  the only thing is that i want to save all of my music FILES and my pictures.  I am planning to use my ipods external hard drive function.  the reason for this is that ive discovered my partitions are pretty much a mess and i just want to START fresh.  is using the ipod for this a good idea?What's the capacity of your ipod?

Do you have a CD writer.Reformat one PARTITION now, store the files there, reformat other partitions, PLACE files back.it's a 40 gig with about 20 gigs free space.  i have already done the copy and paste to the ipod and opened it up as an external hd everything looks to be in order so farok i just reinstalled xp i put all of my important stuff (pictures, music, movies, etc.) on a seperate partition, only now that partition is not showing up.  I ran the seagate CD and it SAYS that HD is not set up for use with this computer and that i have to format it   any way to get the files out without doing that?Was that partition created earlier to installation of XP.The partition that the files are on is on my slave drive and it's saying my slave drive is non existant.  but when i put in the seagate cd it finds it saying that i need to format it, is there a way to get to the files without formatting?i heard that a data recovery program may work, does anyone know of any freeware data recovery programs?http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm

No can do.Take some CLASSES in C++ or some other ADVANCED PROGRAMMING.

how can i calculate time of running a certain program?
(how much a program will run from now?)Tahaeiali:

What operating system is installed on your system?

For what program do you WANT to make this calculation?  

Are you INTERESTED in knowing who is using the program while you are away, or do you want to KNOW how LONG you yourself have used the program?

You can try TASK Scheduler.

I checked the advice already posted, but can't find a solution...I have drivers for my computer video (graphic adapter) loaded on 2 different floppies, in case one was faulty.  When I go to the advanced settings tab and point the download to the A drive, I get an error message...illegal operation.  (I reloaded Windows 98 on IBM 300GLs-2 of them).  How else can I get these installed?  It won't update Internet EXPLORER until the video is UPDATED. (??)
Thanks in advance, for any help.Hi

what about your other floppy?

you can also load the driver from certain sites.for that you need to note the version of your driver.

Go to your DEVICE manager and click display adapter and after selecting your video driver there go to properties driver --> update driver .

then point the exact location of your driver.

if it is a: drive , you will also need to point the exact folder location also like a:/win2k or like that.

after that restart pc and then right click desktop--> settings --> adjust your color.Thanks for responding.  I tried both floppies in both computers. Neither one of them will allow any selection past A:.  When I open the floppy, the symbol for the driver is there.  Perhaps I should not save directly to the floppy. (?) Save to the hard drive, then the floppy.you can save it anywhere it is better to save it in other H drive like d: or E: because floppies can be damaged anytime.

you need to now your video driver's name (look at the label on that folder and then search in sites about that driver. you can download it ( follow the system requirement)

you can not load going directly to the floppy ... you have to go to device manager( as described earlier)Thanks.  I will certainly try your suggestions in the morning and let you know the outcome.  The computers are at school.  I got the driver from the IBM site, so I'm relatively sure it's the right one for the IBM 300GL;but I will check to be sure.I was able to load the drivers.  The floppies I was using had the driver DOWNLOADED from a Windows XP machine, and I was loading them on the Windows 98.  Well, I found a Windows 98 machine and downloaded the driver, saved to the floppy, took it from the floppy to the problem computers' desktop and was able to launch and, using Device Manager, install the drivers.  What a relief!
Thanks for your helpful advice! Good advice, Shouvik, and welcome to the forum.

Okay guys, here is my issue.

I booted up my laptop today, and noticed some errors, sure enough I did a harddrive check and there is a currupt sector of my harddrive!

Un-fortunatly, when I bought my laptop I didn't get a win xp pro cd, ALTHOUGH I have one now, but I don't know the cd key. The OS on there is microsoft genine, i've done the website TEST, and I need to know, is there a application that I can boot from a CD to tell me my windows xp cd key?

Let me know!!

I'm running Windows XP  I have a HP DVD burner.  When I put in a new CD my PC doesn't recognize that there is a new Cd in the DRIVE.  When I go to My Computer and refresh "my Computer" it still shows what Cd was originally in. It only recognizes it when I load the whole PC.   When I try to install a game or something I can't use the second disk of my program.

hopefully some one can help?It only recognizes it when I load the whole PC?
Yes the whole PC.  It doens't recognize it at ANYOTHER time I put a cd in the CDROMThat means after changing the CD you have to reboot the system.

Rightoyes that is correct. It makes it difficult to install a game/program.  I even tried a new Cd rom and still the same problemOkay,

Reboot the system without any CD in your drive.

Now put a CD, does your drive recognize it.no I'm afraid it still doesn't recognize that there is a CD in the tray !  I PRESS the refresh key a billion times and it still doesn't regonize itCheck your cdrom in your device manager.That means there is something wrong with the lens of your CD.

Try the CD cleaning softwares.

Try opening the cabinet and pushing the wires.

Last try another CD drive, this will let you know whether there is a problem with your drive or not.

(I APOLOGIZE if I put this in the wrong forum.  I'm completely dumbfounded as to what the problem is)

I have recently pulled my computer out of a MOVING box and hooked it up again, and I have discovered that no sound whatsoever plays on my computer.  Nothing from typical Windows beeps to music.  My speakers were plugged in, I made sure the volume was set very high (on both the computer and speakers) as well as doublechecking to be certain that Mute wasn't enabled.  I even grabbed a pair of HEADPHONES to make sure the problem wasn't from the speakers themselves.  Still no sound.

I checked the sound drivers, and my computer claims they're all working perfectly.  In the Control Panel area, nothing sound-related is disabled or reported to have a problem.  This gives me absolutely nothing to go on for finding the source of the problem myself.
(It's not like I could get successful results in a search engine when I have no "symptoms" to look up for a problem)

My operating system is Windows XP, if that's necessary.

I'm SORRY that I have no real information to share about my problem, but on the slim chance that someone might have had a similar situation, I would appreciate any help that can be offered.Sarm:

Are you sure the speakers are connected to the correct jack of your sound card/motherboard?  Also, is the power LED on one of the speakers lit?

Yeah.  The power is lit and they're plugged into the correct hole in the back.  I checked again just now to be certain.The soundcard may not be properly seated. Quote

The soundcard may not be properly seated.

I have a VAIO MACHINE, was running XP upgrade setup.  Setup failed with a cyclic redundancy check.  Rebooting starts the setup process.  Starting in SAFEMODE generates the error:  setup cannot run in safe mode, setup will now restart....... how can I stop the loop?Try inserting a bootable CD/diskette and repair the OS or reformat the HDD.

Be certain to set the first boot device to the appropiate medium first.I would love to repair the os....  how can I get to the recovery console?
can't.  booting from the XP CD gives me the option to 1.  continue setup.  2.  Exit setup and install a freash OS.
3.  Cancel setup (which LEAVES the machine in the setup loop at next boot)  Install is looking for NT5.CAT  which is not on the CD.  
Any suggestions?Well,  ya see........
I used the XP pro upgrade to upgrade the Vaio from XP home.........
machine has been fine for a long time....
user lost some file associations installing an audio amplifier device......
Then tried to run the upgrade CD thinking it would reset the associations.......
The user has alot of specific software on machine and a rebuild for the Vaio from scratch will cost many many hours........  I was looking to stop the setup loop and repair the file associations. Quote

ok here goes i am trying to reformat my computer with xp it formats my hd then when it reboots i get message "couldnt open drive bla bla" when i take the xp cd out and restart it i have a blank screen with blinking cursor in left HAND side, i have 2 hard drives and i have tried with both and get same problem, i read that my bios might NEED to be changed but i dont know how or what to change, i have changed the boot from cd and then tried the boot from hd and nothing is working? im very stressed please any advice?? You need to set the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device. But first, insert the Windows XP CD-ROM. You should be prompted to enter the setup by pressing any key.

If you are using a poorly copied version of Windows XP, this may not work.yeah ive done that and pressed any key to boot from disk when that comes up, i get passed the partition drive stuff so it has copied the files but when it goes to restart the computer that message keeps coming up Quote

First of all I must say Hello to everyone.

Here is the issue. First time SCSI user. IM installing XP professional and all is fine untill the computer reboots for the first time. After rebooting, my computer will not recognize the drive. This occurs after it has been formated from XP install.

If i leave the cd in, the process will begin again. (no kidding)

I feel this could be a DRIVER issue. Its odd that the drive can be seen once windows begins install.

My MOTHERBOARD is junk. Soyo SY-p4vte. My controller card is unkown. I had it given to me from a Compaq server. The drive is a Seagate Cheetah MODEL # tST173404LCV. Im using and 80 to 68 pin adapter.

any suggestions? I appreciated any help.Did you choose to install Windows XP making use of the SCSI/SATA driver function which you are prompted to enter when you boot from the Windows XP CD-ROM?

I believe you have to press either F3 or F6.'I looked into that. Its F6, and its for third party drivers. According to the segate website I dont need any for the drive. I also never recieved any with the drives purchace.

Windows will see the drive and install to it. Its just when the computer reboots, and looks for the drive, it cant see it.

It will however see my contoller.

Thanks, for your suggestion. But im still stumped.Knowledge REGARDING SCSI/SATA drives ends there.

You have tried setting your first boot device to SCSI after installing Windows XP?Are you pushing that 'any key' that you are not supposed to push? (Step 13)

Hi, i have a PROBLEM with my computor, it seems to shut down of its own accord. I think it may be a virus that is causing it to do this. When i try and do a virus scan my computor switches off during the process of scanning. I USE AVG 7.0, spybot search and destroy and Ad-aware SE personal but my computor shuts down during all.  Also when i try and do numerous things on my computor it switches off. There are no warnings that the pc is going to TURN off either, the power just goes off. Can you help?What are your system temperatures, wattage use and specifications?The system specs and the operating system may help,to answer your question?this may sound kind of SIMPLE but you may want to go into your screen saver/ power save settings.  Your computer may be set to turn off after a certain time by accident.Check whether CPU fan is working or not.

You can also try BOOTING in safe mode.

Okay, we have Windows XP Home Edition, on a Dell Dimension 8200. When I did a full system scan yesterday with Norton Antivirus, it detected and deleted a 'suspicious' file. When I started my puter this morning, it said the following:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\Windows\system32\c_1252.nls

You can attempt to REPAIR this file by starting Windows setup using the ORIGINAL Setup CD-ROM. Select r at the first screen to start repair.

Well, we don't have our set-up cd anymore, who knows what happened to them.

So now I'm stuck, and I hate Norton Antivirus...

Should I just take this thing to Future Shop or something? Is there any WAY to find and load that one file? (I'm now on my Dad's work laptop).youll never see the file again. unless you can access the program...wait, that wouldnt work. take your harddrive to a shop or somthing. they could probably find that file in the quarintined file from norton. but then youd have to get another box to put your hard drive in. oh wellGatika.......Well first of all , I don't think Nortons anti virus is the problem .........unless someone using the dimension 8200 visited some site which infected the PC . In that case the file you are looking for will be (or should be in the quarantine folder ) .

Are you able to boot it up in safe mode ?

I honestly don't know. How do I check/change how my drive is formatted? What is the difference?

Hi there,

I have a fairly new computer with Windows XP and up until yesterday it was running perfectly but then when I started it up I received the following error message:

"Windows cannot find C:\windows\system32\dnuadum\csrss.exe"

Can someone please give any advice on how to resolve this?

Thanks,

LisaSounds like it could be a virus...

SECURITY Task ManagerHi,

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded that software and ran it but the problem still persists. Is there any way to replace the missing file?

Thanks again for a very prompt reply! I have downloaded all the antispyware ect and run it all but when i start up my computer I am still getting those error messages. However, apart from that the computer is running perfectly and according to all the scans I have run my computer is not infected with anything!

Is there a way to replace this missing csrss file because it keeps telling me the path is incorrect and windows cannot find it.

Thanks again,

Process File: csrss or csrss.exe
Process Name: Microsoft Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem
 
Description:
csrss.exe is the main executable for the Microsoft Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem. This process manages most graphical commands in Windows. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

Note: csrss.exe is also process which is registered as the [email protected] worm, the W32.Webus Trojan, Win32.Ladex.a and more. This virus is distributed via the Internet through e-mail and comes in the form of an e-mail message, in the hopes that you open it’s hostile attachment. The worm has it’s own SMTP engine which means it gathers E-mails from your local computer and re-distributes itself. In worst cases this worm can allow attackers to access your computer, stealing passwords and personal data. It is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately. Please see additional details regarding this process

Hi there,

Yeah, I'm using Norton, and all latest updates of various trojan removal software. I only bought this computer in August and until now, had no problems with it. I had never even heard of CSRSS before then!

I am trying to install a game. I have windows XP and i am  inserting the game into the CD Drive and it auto runs then i press the install button on the game screen and a window pops up SAYING " C:\WINDOWS|SYSTEM32|AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and MICROSOFT Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application." It then gives a choice of Close or Ignore. Neither of which do anything to help.   Please can someone tell me how to install it. P.S it is compatible for XP!! as it runs on our other XP computer.Right click on the installer and click on properties.

On the compatibility tab use the win 95 or 98 tab.I had the same problem with other programs too. After repairing my Win XP this problem recovered.
That's because of your WInXP you have not installed properly or done some harm after installation.
You need to retrieve a good copy of autoexec.nt from the repair directory and install it in the system32 directory.

From the command line:

copy c:\windows\repair\autoexec.nt c:\windows\system32  

OR

You can use Windows Explorer and copy the file from one directory to the other.

OR  

You can use the Microsoft METHOD (XP disc needed)

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324767

Good LUCK. Thanks ever so much sidewinder. Ive managed to get it working by copying the file from the repair folder and pasting it in the system32 folder. Your help is much appriciated!!!!!

While on the internet, a program was downloaded onto my computer that is now covering up my windows background.  I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of it, but to no avail.  When I right click and click on properties, it lists none.  Is there a way to remove this off my computer so my real background shows up again?

I tried to copy a a screen shot, but unable to do it.  Does not give me the option to do so.  It is just a blank white screen, over the background, but my icons are visible over the white.

Whenever I TRY to delete or check for properties, comes up with nothing.  It is as though there is nothing to grab onto.  Is there anything in Add-Remove programs which shouldn't be there, or in your msconfig startup?I do not see anything unusual in Add-Remove programs.  Not sure what to look for in msconfig startup.You need to use more than ONE program.

Creating a screenshot can be done using the print screen button.Did you try a restore to a previous date?Sometimes simple themes cover your desktop.

Rebooting takes care of these.

Hi all,
I have TWO separate HARD drives and would like to MOVE
win 98 se to the other HD.
I can easily back up everything on D to C and format D then Rearange the connectors and change the jumper settings.
My question is once I have installed 98 on the "new C" i will have my other drive with all the files installed as D but 98 will be installed on it also.
How will this effect my COMPUTER?
After the drives are installed and working I plan to then format the "old C" (now D)
I'm just worried that I will get conflics because 98 will be installed on 2 drives (untill I can format the old one)
Any help would be apeciated.
Thanks, DarrylWhat you need to do is create an image using software such as Norton Ghost. You can then create a complete image of your system without the chance of damaging or loosing important files.

Simply copying all the folders will most likely result in a damaged operating system which could be beyond repair.

Have a Gateway computer running Windows XP Home EDITION.  When I turn my computer on it starts to a blue screen and starts doing a memory dump with a countup.

My questions are....What is this?  Why is it doing this? How do I stop this?

Thanks for any HELP offered.

EricWhat have you done prior to the incident?two things downloaded update  to Windows media PLAYER and installed a new modem.Try reinstalling the modem. See to it that you are using the CORRECT drivers and remove any obsolete drivers from previous modems if these were present.

Does anyone know what this is and how do u get rid of it:-
"EZULA Top Text" it appears in my Internet Cleanup as spyware but have run all the checks on spyware and show nothing. Have tried a seach for it found nothing. Any ideas?What is Internet Cleanup? I have never heard of this program.

It may simply be detecting a tracking cookie. Quote

After a few weeks of working perfectly, my computer SUDDENLY decided to break down yesterday. At the Windows loading screen (where the windows logo comes out and the little green loading bar comes up) it would just stop and stay at that screen.
After checking online, I finally decided to just reformat the entire thing, so I popped in the Windows CD, GOT NVidia Raid Drivers, deleted the old partition, and tried to reinstall. It said that it needed to reformat my hard drives, so I did.
But, during the formatting, it would go to 100% and then do nothing, even if LEFT on for a few hours. So I turned the computer off, and tried again. This time, the formatting WENT to 58% and would then do nothing. After trying this many times,  and flashing the BIOS to the one the motherboard came with, it still wouldn't work.
My specs, if needed, are:
Athlon 64 4000+
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
1gig pc3200 RAM
2x 74.5 WD 10000rpm hard drives
Have you tried Western DIGITAL's drive diagnostic diskette on both drives to see if they are OK?

Look for loose wiring in the cabinet and re-seat your RAM modules, cards, etc. before trying again.

Click the link below for more info.I bought my Hard Drives OEM, so I didn't get a diskette. Could I call them and get one or something?You should be able to download one from the WD site.Western Digital Service and Supportoh cool, thanks

Hi folks. I recently bought a new Dell computer and would like to  TRANSFER into OUTLOOK my e-mails and address book from my old Outlook in the old computer, which runs on Windows 98.

Is there a way to do this automatically without having to manually type everything in?

Thanks.

While I'm on the subject, I have other files I'd like to transfer from the old computer, and wondering if there's a quick and dirty way to do it without having to burn them onto a disc and uploading them into the new computer that way.

Thanks for any help.

David
[email protected]I used a JUMP Drive for my transfer (driver NEEDED for the 98 machine). It was pretty quick, just drag & drop.

My 2½¢Copy your archive files and address book to the new comp.

For this you will need a CD or a flash drive.

When i run command.com, it runs but ntvdm takes 99% cpu.

What's the diff. between command.com and cmdThe SHORT answer.... I have no idea.  
I use cmd.Great work Fed!  

Keep it up.  I use cmd because it's more 'linux'.How come?It 'feels' more like linux.Any other tips, because in some of scripts i have used 16 bit dos functions.

I've been cleaning up my hardrive and I've noticed files named index.dat are scattered around my computer. They look like their listing every internet site i've been to. Any idea what this is and why it's logging every place I go?Thats the whole point of index.dat. no matter how much you clean your temp folders, there still will be a record of what sites you been to.. If you really dont want anyone to know where you went i say use this TRIAL program called evidence eliminator. Btw I don't think you can delete index.dat. Evidence eliminator will just clean it up and erase itI've just got an idea, anybody know how to make a program run at shutdown (after everythings closed)?You cant run anything on shutdown, shutdown starts exiting everything... What were you THINKING of doin? You can run in DOS.. If thats what you meanWhen I tried to delete a index.dat file it said that another process was using it. Probable IExplorer or something along th elines of that. If you could make a batch file that, on SYSTEM shutdown, deleted the index.dat files, SINCE everythings already closed it should have no problem deleting itFrom what I know you cant erase index.dat yourself you need some special  program. Of course they are only trial I do not know any full versions out yet free. Anyways you shouldn't be worry about it unless someone checks you computer everyday HTTP://www.ccleaner.com will delete it on the next reboot.Have a look here  http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/windowstips/story/0,24330,3668551,00.html
command prompt

cd\ to get to c:\

then type: del index.dat  /s use /s to get all the sub directorieskatdaddy - that won't work 'cos when Windows is running some of the Index.dat files are in use.  They are hidden system files so cannot be deleted when Win is running.

I think you can delete it.

Just close all the programs and then via command prompt try it. Quote

does anyone know if there is a PCI card that has 2 or more INTERNAL usb connections?http://stores.tomshardware.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=933845//Every half-decent computer store should be ABLE to sell you one. Even our ex-con computer store can.

Hello all, I am trying to play this GAME www.rfonline.jp and I cannot get a language pack for it, I Have tried absolutely everything.

How do I prevent Windows disk defragmentation from compressing older files? I have seen Mac post a registry entry which you had to disable, but I can not remember where it was.Will I run into more than one key that way? Could you specificy the path? I do not feel like reactivating Windows if I delete the wrong entry.Disk Cleanup Tool Stops Responding While Compressing Old Files Quote

I do not feel like reactivating Windows if I delete the wrong entry.

You should make a drive image.

TERABYTE

Defragging doesn't compress files.
File compression can be unticked in disk cleanup.
Ccleaner does the same and more than disk cleanup but is 1000 times faster.

sup? The other day my system stopped functioning properly. When I turned on the system everything would seem to function normally except that the monitor won't show anything. I tried some other monitors but they didn't work. I opened up the system and everything would seem like its functioning normally. I tried my sister's vcard but its the same *censored* thing. It wasn't until I removed the power connectors(molex and so FORTH) from the various devices that I realized the power connector which connects the power supply to the mobo was fried for the most part. Unfortunately it made some burns in the powerslot in the motherboard as well so I'm guessing its USELESS too.

The motherboard that got burned was a Gigabyte k7 Triton 400 GA-7VA. I do have another motherboard but I'm guessing its unfortunate that its not the same one as the one that got burned. The spare one I have is an ASUS A7N8X-X. The system I had was running windows xp pro at the time which brings me to my main concern, recovering the data that was on that 80gig hard drive. I HEARD stories that you can't just use xp on another motherboard. I don't have an xp pro cd, never got one with my system. I do have a windows 98 cd however and I also have a spare hard drive that's 40GB.

Here are more detailed specs on my sys that died the other day.
Mobo: Gigabyte k7 Triton 400 GA-7VA
Chipset: VIA KT400
CPU: Authentic AMD Athlon 1.92Ghz
RAM: 512MB
VidCard: Radeon 9600 Pro
HDD: 80GB
Partitons: About 3
OS: Win XP
Filesystem: NTFS

Spare parts that haven't really been used yet.
Mobo: ASUS A7N8X-X
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1600+(came connected to the mobo)
HDD: Maxtor 40GB

I already know I need a PS but I need to know how to get my hard drive operational again or at least access the files that was on that hard drive with the other things I currently have. Any help would be appreciated.If the Power Supply Unit nor Motherboard did come with an additional +12V connector (4 pinned) you should consider buying one that does.

If you are into DIY, you may be able to repair the mainboard by replacing the main power connector. I would advise against this, though. Especially if you consider using the same Power Supply Unit. It's probably not all that safe.

Once you have partition a hard drive in most cases you cannot recover data I tell every one never partiton your hard drive always have a back up drive say 40GB so that rather then partition -  reformat the main drive.

If the Power Supply Unit nor Motherboard did come with an additional +12V connector (4 pinned) you should consider buying one that does.

If you are into DIY, you may be able to repair the mainboard by replacing the main power connector. I would advise against this, though. Especially if you consider using the same Power Supply Unit. It's probably not all that safe.

You can mount it as a slave in your sisters computer and transfer the files.

HI all, I have a U beaute MMC flash based mp3 PLAYER.

The last unit I had had defective earphone jacks, and so I removed the sandisk card, and sent the player back for replacement.

The replacement came back, and when I stuck the card into it,  I tried to overwrite / delete the old tracks, and also to copy new tracks onto it.

However, the bloody thing spat back at me "Cannot delete / overwrite / format / etc. because the drive is now write protected.

I have searched through about 120 posts on the subject, and tried everything I can think of, etc., and there are lots of sites saying "remove the write protection" but none of them actually say how to do it....

There is NO clear "turn write protection off" anywhere in XP and there is as far as I can tell, no DOS commands etc., to force the disk to be overwritten / brought back into service.


It seems to be enough of a common problem with thumb drives, cameras and such like to produce many posts, but no clear, concise and working solutions.

Any one who actually knows how to crack the "write-protected" function for a flash drive?


I don't mess with pen drives but...... If the drive is present in MY Computer, right click and select properties. If the read only attribute is checked, uncheck it and "apply". From DOS you should be able to use the attrib command. attrib -r *.* after changing to the drive.EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (said in a low scottish accented growl)

Ok .... XP, computer management, disk management, properties.

No "read only" attribute in PROPERTIES, only "Share this folder on Network" + "Allow network users to change my files" - both checked.

Jump into "Command Prompt"  CD D: attrib -r, a pop up says: "THE DISK CANNOT BE WRITTEN TO BECAUSE IT IS WRITE PROTECTED. PLEASE REMOVE WRITE PROTECTION FROM THE VOLUME IN DRIVE D:." [cancel / try again / continue]

I hit any of the three commands and it comes back in dos:

D:\attrib -r

Unable to change attribute - D:\001 (file name).mp3
Unable to change attribute - D:\002 (file name).mp3
Unable to change attribute - D:\003 (file name).mp3

etc.

So I have tried all this and similar before... and I am honestly STUCK.

It won't format, delete, overwrite, respond to DOS commands.

There may be an issue with the card it's self, it may be a matter of having formatted the card as a FAT32 instead of a FAT filing system (we live and learn???) cause the former MP3 player was playing up and or a whole heap of causes...

But it's a 512M Kingston MMC card, reading as 483 Meg FAT32....



I might have a crack at throwing the card into a camera, or  hooking the MP3 player up to a different computer.

No good - same thing in the laptop, might try a friends camera....

Dunno... I shall send the substance of this formum off to Kingston and the MP3 player dealer, and see what they have to say about it.
I think this might be it....

You Cannot View or Change the Read-Only or System Attribute of Folders
View products that this article applies to.
Article ID      :      326549
Last Review      :      June 2, 2005
Revision      :      5.2
This article was previously published under Q326549
For a Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98, and Windows 95 version of this article, see 256614 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256614/EN-US/).
SYMPTOMS
You may experience any of the following symptoms:
•      You cannot view or change the Read-only or System attributes of a folder by using the Properties dialog box for the folder. For example, you may experience the following symptoms:
•      When you view the General tab of a folder's Properties dialog box, the Read-only check box is not available, and there is no check box to change the System attribute.
•      You click to clear or click to select the Read-only check box on the General tab of a folder's Properties dialog box. When you click OK or Apply, you receive the following message:
Confirm Attribute Changes
You have chosen to make the following attribute changes:
unset read-only
Do you want to apply this change to this folder only, or do you want to apply it to all subfolders and files as well?
If you click Apply changes to this folder only, the Read-only attribute is changed for all the files in the folder, but the Read-only attribute is not changed for the folder, its subfolders, or any files in its subfolders. If you click Apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files, the Read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder and all files in the subfolders, but the Read-only attribute is not changed for the folder or its subfolders.
•      Some programs may display error messages when you try to save files to a folder with the Read-only or System attribute. As a result, these programs may not be able to save files to the folder.
CAUSE
Unlike the Read-only attribute for a file, the Read-only attribute for a folder is typically ignored by Windows, Windows components and accessories, and other programs. For example, you can delete, rename, and change a folder with the Read-only attribute by using Windows Explorer. The Read-only and System attributes is only used by Windows Explorer to determine whether the folder is a special folder, such as a system folder that has its view CUSTOMIZED by Windows (for example, My Documents, Favorites, Fonts, Downloaded Program Files), or a folder that you customized by using the Customize tab of the folder's Properties dialog box. As a result, Windows Explorer does not allow you to view or change the Read-only or System attributes of folders. When a folder has the Read-Only attribute set it causes Explorer to request the Desktop.ini of that folder to see if any special folder settings need to be set. It has been seen where if a network share that has a large amount of folders set to Read-only, it can cause Explorer to take longer then what is expected to render the contents of that share while it waits on the retrieval of the Desktop.ini files. The slower the network connectivity to the share the longer this process can take to the point where Explorer may timeout waiting for the data and render nothing or appear to hang.

Note In some previous versions of Windows, you can change the Read-only attribute for folders by using the Properties dialog box for the folder, but no versions of Windows permit you to change the System attribute by using Windows Explorer.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use the Attrib command at a command prompt (Cmd.exe) to view or remove the Read-only or System attributes of folders. Type attrib /? at the command prompt to view the syntax for the Attrib command.

Warning If you remove the Read-only or System attribute from a folder, it may appear as a ordinary folder and some customizations may be lost. For example, Windows customizes the Fonts folder and provides a special folder view that permits you to hide variations, such as bold and italic. It also permits you to change the folder's view settings in ways that are specific to fonts. If you remove the Read-only and System attributes of the Fonts folder, these customized view settings are not available. For folders that you have customized by using the Customize tab of the folder's Properties dialog box, the folder icon and other other customizations may be lost when you remove the Read-only attribute.

If a program cannot save files to a folder with the Read-only attribute, such as My Documents, change the Read-only attribute to System by using the Attrib command at a command prompt.

For example, to change the Read-only attribute to System for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:
attrib -r +s c:\test
Note that some programs may not operate correctly with folders that have the System attribute set. To remove both the Read-only and System attributes from the C:\Test folder, use the following command:
attrib -r -s c:\test
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows stores file and folder attributes in the file system with the file and folder name, extension, date and time stamps, and other information. The Read-only check box for folders is not available because it does not apply to the folder. You can use this check box to set the Read-only attribute for files in the folder. However, you cannot use Windows Explorer to determine if a folder has the Read-only and System attributes set. To determine the attributes that are set on a folder, or to change these attributes, you must use the Attrib command from a command prompt.Umm no actually the previous split posting doesn't work cause the constipated flash drive neither accepts nor responds to the attrib command in DOS.... - this might work.

SYMPTOMS
You may be unable to remove the Read-Only attribute from a folder using Windows Explorer. In addition, some programs may display error messages when you try to save files to the folder.

NOTE: Some programs do not operate correctly with folders that have the System attribute configured.
1.      Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2.      Locate the following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer
3.      On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then type the following registry value name:UseSystemForSystemFolders
4.      Right-click the new value, and then click Modify.
5.      Type 1, and then click OK.
6.      Quit Registry Editor.
7.      After you make this change to the registry, you must change the Read-Only attribute for all affected folders by using the attrib command at a command prompt (Command.com or Cmd.exe). Type attrib /? at the command prompt to view the syntax for the attrib command. For example, to change the Read-Only attribute to System for the C:\Test folder, use the following command: attrib -r +s c:\test

I looked for "Dummy2K" in the user database and was unable to find any mention of him registering or creating an account, unless he attempted to create an account under a different name I don't believe he REGISTERED. The activation e-mails are automatically sent out and should not encounter any type of issues, unless our e-mail server is down. Some users however do have SPAM filters or verification programs enabled, unfortunately we cannot verify our e-mails so users must have these disabled, otherwise they will not receive a notification.
 
If you run into him again you can always have him e-mail [email protected] and I'll see if I can do anything further for him.

 I can't GET my A-drive to work, so I decided to TRY re-loading Windows.  Are there steps that I can follow to do this?  In the past, I've ALWAYS called Dell SUPPORT which takes a long time.
 Also, do I have to make backups even if I'm not reformating my hard-drive?Why can you not access your Floppy DISK drive?

How to erase my Hard Disk Drive and start over.I would try a new floppy drive first of all. US$ 9.00  I've never replaced any internal components before.  Is it easy to replace a floppy drive?  Are there step-by-step instructions and schematics somewhere?Just connect the new FDD the exact same as the previous FDD. Can't go wrong. Do remember where the red line of the FDD flat ribbon cable went into. Right or left. Red line indicates pin 1. This is important. Quote

 I've never replaced any internal components before.  Is it easy to replace a floppy drive?  Are there step-by-step instructions and schematics somewhere?

With a new Abit AW8-MAX board, 2x300gb Sata drive, after installing W2K adv server with the 2 drives in Raid 1 (MIRROR) using either the INTEL ICHR raid or the additional Silicon Image 3132 raid controller, performing new install, in newly formatted disks, after a few REBOOTS the C drive appears twice in Explorer , as C and E. In the Disk administrator it appears only once, randomly as C or E. Of course, then system has all kind of problems. Latest BIOS is installed on motherboard.
Any help very welcome. I have tried for one week, re-installing from scratch, PROBLEM still there.

Hiya!

I have a problem with all of my INTERNET browsers. Whenever i put in a web site it would tell me could not be found when i have an active internet connection. This happenes with all 3 of my web browsers. I have IE, FireFox, and Opera. Could Somebody please help me?
(Thanks in advanced)Some DUDE.....You will probably get timely responses if you only post your issue once ........NOT 5 times ........that simply wastes peoples time and pisses them off ...... So how about you give us some info .....for example ......what operating SYSTEM are you using ?
When did this all start ?
Do you have all the suggested updates for your o/s ?
Is your AV current ?
Have you ran scans for pests ....and what apps did you use to do these scans........?

let us know

dl65    SORRY i didnt know it did that. If a MOD could please delete the other 4, thanks. Ok my Os is XP home, it started yesterday, i did hae all te updates for my PC, my AV is up-to-date, i ran a scan with AVG and SpySweeper. AVG found nothing, and all SpySweeper found was a cookie.Open up a webpage,

go to tools,

Internet options,

Advanced,

then restore defaults....


That will probs fix it up!

I am using Windows 98SE and in the PAST have been able to move icons on desktop using drag and drop. Can no LONGER do that. What does it want?Right click pn your Desktop and unselect the functionthat causes it to auto-arrange icons.
I did do that and auto arrange was not checked. I did CHECK it and then uncheck it and rebooted and now all is well, I have no IDEA what Bill Gates did! Thanks for your reply.
later

DottieGood to see you resolved the situation. A program may have changed it for you, but PERHAPS did not tag it.

When i log in to my computer it says something about mcafee is corupt and im suppsoed to find the backup copy. if i just cancel mcafee then lots of stuff doesnt work like msn:( and i want to know how to fix itI dont realy know wut im talkin about but its says mcafee privacy service
ok i will in a few minutes
Now you're confusing me lol  Do you use McAfee as your virus protection or firewall?

[glb]Flame[/glb](Your mcafee Privacy Service database is either missing or corupt. The database stores all your SETTINGS and user information. This problem is ussualy caused by a user thrying to circumvent the application or accidentally deleting the database. To fix this problem, chose one of the following options

-To restore the database from a backup copy, click BROWSE to find the file and then enter the backup passward.
-If you do not have a backup off the application database, please uninstall and reinstall McAfee Privacy service.)



it didnt EVEN let me copy and paste it so i had to type it. and McAfee is my privacy protection and firewallsending that post took forever because usuualy it didnt let me get to the spot where u type the post and when i got there it ussualy wouldnt GO any farther
Poo flinger?Reinstalling or reparing the Macfee is the ultimate option.

But if you want to work, for the time being try disabling its service in control pane-> sevices and rebooting.Removing mcafee & installing AVG is a good option.  disabling it WONT do anything because its not doing anything thats the problem. i dont even know if thats wuts wrong with my computer tho any suggestions?Is your computer clean?
