    - Disk Defragment Error Its been a long time since I defragmented my hard drive. Recently I ran a defragmentation on my drive then an error message came up, and said that Disk Defrag. cannot continue becuase the defragment cannot view certain files. It recommended me to do a ScanDisc. I did it, but when it was so close to being done, it froze and restarted. How can I complete a full ScanDisc (Through) without it freezing or restarting? P.S.- What is the best software to remove unnecessary files and clean the computer of junk and clutter so the computer can run more efficiently? (XP and ME Computer) Tag: windows Tag: 290903

    - nvidia GeForce 2 440 MX not cooperating My ME box must have heard me talking about replacing it with Linux.. the standard Nvidia GeForce2 440 MX display is (once AGAIN!) only booting to a blank screen now. The only way I could initially fix that was to boot to SafeMode, then force the setting to 16 colours there, then do a full shutdown (not restart! but a full OFF). Then at next bootup, I could at least get a non-blank display, albiet in 16 colours. :(( I tried reinstalling the nvidia 440MX drivers from a saved set of files on the hdd. The install reports "successful", but at next bootup - blank screen! I had found a set numbered as version 81.98 for the 440MX card a few years ago from the Nvidia site. What to do? Trying to do anything on the net (even email) is absolutley awful in 16 colours! Could it be that the Nvidia reinstall doesn't overwrite some of the key files that it should? How could I purge the system of all Nvidia 440 MX driver files and try again? I know this isn't a hardware fault because Linux (Ubuntu, PuppyLinux) boots up into a very lovely display.

    - The Color 'Red' is missing If this is the wrong 'forum', please let me know and also where to turn. Since I'm using WinME, I figured it would be worth a try: In Properties/Settings under 'Colors' the color red is now completely missing, while at first it sporadically changed back to 'normal' with all colors present. This makes the display appear greenish and the former blue purplish. Otherwise no changes. It seemed to coincide with the loss of my 'WinZip' (just a guess). Does this indicate the monitor going bad'? Or is the cause somewhere else? If it can be fixed, please let me know. Harry. Tag: windows Tag: 290817

    - Retail version I did have a Compaq pc that had ME on it and i dont think a full version was installed on it . Something happened to the OS that even the recovery disc that came with it wouldnt get it running again .The pc was out of warrenty -OH around 2002 .but i liked ME .It didnt give much problens . I purchased the retail version .Didnt have to hunt for drivers plus it ran much better than the OEM . Other features with the full Retail a repair install could be done.Full installover bad OS or a Custom install .Pick what you wanted to install . But that was only through the seperate boot disc could those options be chosen . Since then i built my own PC from scratch . But i hate buying software cause of MS making us do so . Buy a newer OS and also buy new Hardware . Thats BS !! Tag: windows Tag: 290800

    - heather, alias, mike, sidj,,, adaware problem hello all,, specially heather the 'hill roaming tourist'. hi guys, if you recall, i mentioned a couple of weeks ago that i was having problems getting adaware updated, it would get to 5% then simply say Error. since then i have re-installed it many times, but i still get the same flipping error,,,,,,,,, its like a boomerang, just keeps coming back. as it stands now, it seems i am 794days out of whack with updates,, which is to naturally be expected after new install. am i missing something, or is it now impossible to use adaware unless one updates to the 'troublesome' 2007 version??? i refuse to put this one on due to the many problems i've heard about it, and the fact that the adaware personell seem to be distancing themselves from it? i dont know at all. any help out there heather??

    - Rundll32 Problem Rundll32 Problem Box Pentium 2 36Xmx Creative Intel Pentium 2 Start up disk scan runs then Rundll32 Damon box appears saying restart computer. Rebooting does not fix it. Cannot bring up Dos Promote suggest fix was. (snapped) Solution: You should find the place where this unwanted program starts itself and disable this start up item using more sophisticated algorithm. 1. Choose Start -> Run... 2. Type msconfig.exe and press Enter. 3. Switch to the last tab of the dialog appeared and turn off (uncheck) EVERY item listed in this startup section. 4. Click OK and restart your computer. The problem should disappear. However, many of your resident programs will not load. This is OK by now. 5. Go to the last tab of msconfig.exe once again and turn on one of the disabled items. Reboot. 6. Repeat step 6 until you find the item which triggers the problem (until the problem comes back). 7. Uncheck this malicious item forever and go on with steps 5-7 until all "good" items are checked again. This algorithm will take some time (and you should restart your PC a lot of times) but it solves almost 100% of all problems which can't be solved using two other methods described. (end of snapped) Have switch keyboard plug in there are two plug ins at the back of the box. Have read google Usenet posts on Google, and have the Mellennium Dummies Book but cannot fix problem. Before junking the box I though I would try in here. Any suggestions. Thanks Tag: windows Tag: 290758

    - Ad-aware Plus 2007 Okay, I don't like saying 'I was right' - after all it usually means something negative. But I was - Lavasoft have gone back on the promise of lifelong updates to those who bought Ad-aware Plus back in, in my case, late-2000. They call it a different product - as I predicted they would - which those like myself may - whoopee do! - upgrade to at a 40% discount! Funny, because it's going to cost them more than they save with this cheap attempt to renege on the original deal they made with, among doubtless many others, me. It really is time everybody realized businesses in the security field that renege on their deals are as bad as the people they supposedly protect against. It is the same reason as why a 'bent copper' is worse than an ordinary crook. Shane Tag: windows Tag: 290742

    - Questions on anti-virus programs Hello everyone: After 2 years on being on dial up, I Just switched to high speed MSN with DSL. The package came with McAfee AV & Firewall. After installing *McAfee AV* I noticed a complete slowdown in my computer. Had to remove it. (Did not install the firewall). My questions are: 1) Am I right in just trusting Avast4 as an AV? I haven't had any problems while on dial up & none in the few days with DSL. 2) Are there any other AV programs someone may recommend that are not "hogs" in using computer resources? (I know Norton is "out"!!). 3) I'm also using CCleaner, Spywareblaster, Spybot Search & Destroy, & Ad-Aware SE Personal. Shouldn't all of these be enough? Running Windows ME , IE 6 SP1 on Broadband MSN DSL. Thanks, Ed Tag: windows Tag: 290685

    - Sudden Abnormal mouse erratic behaviour My computer, running WinXP Pro with 128 MB RAM, today has started acting very strange. Although normally it has to be double-clicked to open a file or folder, now it sometimes opens files/folders/e-mail with only one mouse click, not two. However, it is very inconsistent, sometimes requiring two clicks as normal, but sometimes requiring only one click. Another symptom is that when a window is open, while browing the web, the scroll bar on the right is very herky-jerky, but sometimes not - again being inconsistent. Both these problems occur pretty often - enough to be very annoying. Another symptom is that it when I try to capture text by holding down the mouse right-click button, it sometimes captures the text, but sometimes refuses to, or will capture only a a small part of the text. This occurs on web pages, but is even worse trying to capture text in this message I'm typing right now. Also, when I click and hold on the to blue line of a window, such as this message I'm now typing, in order to move the non-maximized window, often instead of moving the window it'll open it completely. Also, when the cursor is placed at the edge of a non-maximized window to re- size it, it often will not re-size it. If I try repeatedly, sooner or later it will. I use latest AVG AntiVirus and update it at least daily, and did an entire system/computer scan, but am virus-free. I ran spy bot search and destroy, anti adware, pest control tools, anti spyware, anti rootkits, and also tried changing various mouse options but the problem is still happening. Can anyone please shed some light on what is happening, and a fix for it? Am not very technical, so please be specific. Thanks in advance, very much... Tag: windows Tag: 290667

    - How to open downlaoded files? Options To open a downloaded file: 1. Follow any instructions the file provider has given to place the downloaded file or files in a specific folder on your computer. If your file or files are already in this specific folder, skip to step 2. If you did not receive instructions about placing the downloaded file or files in a specific folder, create a new folder on the desktop, and then copy the files into this folder: a. Right-click the desktop, point to New, and then click Folder. b. Type downloaded_files, and then press ENTER. c. Copy the file or files to this new folder. To copy a file, right-click it, click Copy, right-click the destination folder, and then click Paste. After you copy the file or files to the downloaded_files folder, verify that all the files were successfully copied. After you verify that all the files were copied, you can delete the original copies of the files. 2. Open the folder that contains the file or files (or the downloaded_files folder), and then double-click the file you want to open. If you have a program installed on your computer that is capable of opening the file, when you double-click the file, the file should open in the appropriate program. For example, if you double-click a document (.doc) file and Microsoft Word for Windows (any version) is installed on your computer, the file should open in Word. If you do not have a program that is capable of opening the file, you receive an "Open With" dialog box that prompts you to select a program to open the file with. If you receive this prompt, it indicates you do not have a program that is capable of opening the file, and you should obtain and install a program for this purpose. For information about which program to install, the provider of the file should be able to confirm which program is needed to open their file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag: windows Tag: 290506

    - Unauthorized credit card use Quite recently I was alerted by my credit card company that there appeared to be several unusual charges on my account (for which I thanked them profusely). My wife and I have our identically-numbered cards in our possession, so I knew they hadn't been lost. I know well that when one hands his card to a server in a restaurant, for example, one temporarily loses all control over any security he may have had, and that's a definite possibility. I also know that there are keylogger programs that may exist on my computer (although I don't know how they might have got there). My suspicion was raised a notch when Alwil's avast! antivirus program detected a Trojan horse yesterday. (I regret that I immediately deleted the Trojan and cannot, therefore, provide any information about it.) Can a Trojan horse be responsible for this? Does it sound at all like a keylogger problem? And lastly, if so, does anyone have a recommendation for keylogger detection and removal? TIA.

    - Ad-aware Well, it's been weeks now. I've e-mailed them twice asking how I'm supposed to acquire my copy of Ad-aware Plus as per my 2000 purchase that included lifetime updates. I've had initial acknowledgment of both e-mails but no further response. I shall henceforth consider Lavasoft to have become a new Symantec - their products don't work and they don't give a puck about their customers. I shall assume they have decided lifetime updates promised in the early days was a mistake. I expect that in court they will try to argue that Ad-aware 2007 is a different product - and, indeed, that that is why they named it so! I shall spread the word that they - like Symantec - are not the sort of company it's wise to trust your valuables with! Of course, it doesn't seem to hurt Symantec - which is what the cynical puckers will be counting on. Like with NAV and NIS there're always plenty of mugs who will argue that it's the best product on the market! Plenty of customers for the medicine show! Shane Tag: windows Tag: 290356
