    - Heuristic Malware Security: Cmpatable?; ADVISE on specific I have a Dell Dimension 3000 running XP with SP 2. To secure it, i have installed the PC Tools Internet suite, and also the Windows Defender antispy. Both PCT Internet Suite (its component named Threat Fire) and Windows Defender are heuristic. QUESTION: (1) are all heuristic security applications compatable? ; (2) I am considering also adding Dr. Web Cure It--is it compatable?; (4) I want some very light weight and intuitive heuristic apps--can you ADVISE on light weight and intuitive heuristic apps? They must be compatable. Thanks a lot! Best! Robb Tag: Why do the 25 character CD keys have to be random letters? Tag: 322304

    - Rundll - error loading ctccw32.dll Hello, My new laptop seems to have developed the following error each time I start up: "Rundll - error loading ctccw32.dll". Whilst by just clicking on the "OK" button to make it disappear, it's knowing that the system is not running correctly that's annoying. Can anyone advise how this can be corrected please? I searched the web to no available and the only info found was relating to the bluetooth on the laptop which is not used and hasn't been used since acquiring the laptop 4 wks ago. Would appreciate a solution please. PB Tag: Why do the 25 character CD keys have to be random letters? Tag: 322295

    - Suite Integration Toolkit When I shut XP down yesterday, I was told that it was going to install an update unless I clicked "close without installing update" I clicked this and it seems that XP installed it anyway. Today, Zone Alarm Pro is telling me that something called Suite Integration ToolKit is trying to access the Internet. After I deny that, I get Microsoft Installer is trying to access the Internet. What is this Suite Integration Toolkit? Also I am getting a pop up that says "the update was almost complete, but you need to restart your computer" I have googled Suite Integration Toolkit and most all the posts are old. I have found a few people who are asking the same question without an answer. Any help? Bill Tag: Why do the 25 character CD keys have to be random letters? Tag: 322292

    - Out of memory for image display I normally have 2GB of RAM but just now I am testing the four sticks by only inserting one 512K at a time. Now I thought that if XP required more memory it would use its page file and if the page file was not large enough it would increase it automatically as long as the default settings were in place. Today I tried to open an Outlook 2007 email which contained a 650K photo attachment. I got a message from my viewer which is IrfanView: D:\IE temp files\Temporary Internet Files\Content:Outlook\Beemer_20080408_6533_email.jpg : Decode error ! Error: Can't allocate memory for result image(s) ! Out of memory Are there certain applications which must use RAM and not paged memory? regards, Beemer Tag: Why do the 25 character CD keys have to be random letters? Tag: 322289

    - How to reinstall failed updates?? I have discovered that I have 2 XP Home updates from February that are listed as "Failed" in my Windows update log. I would like to correct the situation by installing them but I can't locate them among the Microsoft web pages. I followed a few links from the update log but they only took me to the Microsoft Update sign-up page and I don't want or need that as I don't use Office or Word . I'm happy with the Windows Update service. Can someone point me in the right direction to reacquire 2 of the Feb. 2008 updates? 'Drew Tag: Why do the 25 character CD keys have to be random letters?

    - Who's accessing the net? Is there a program, someplace, that will tell me which of my files is accessing the internet while I'm doing something else -- almost anything else?

    - Removing "Install" from "Shut Off" icon I have purchased a new notebook running XP Home SP2. I have set my Windows Updates options to "notify but do not download/install". When I use "Start >> Turn Off" to shut down the system, I notice that the "Turn Off" icon that next appears in the "Turn Off Computer" pop-up has a "Security Center" shield attached to its upper right corner and a text that explains that Windows will install downloaded updates when the icon is clicked unless I select the option (also in this text) shut down with installing. My desktop (running the same OS) does not have this option and I would like to remove it from my notebook. I cannot locate any setting that would do so. The Windows firewall is disabled in favor of another firewall. I am the only user account on the system so I assume that I have administrative rights.

    - Microsoft Document Imaging (MDI) just Discovered I am brand new to the built-in XP Microsoft Docuemnt Imaging tool. It is my understanding now that a multiple sheet FAX (tif) or several scanned document may be manipulated by the XP MDI tool. Until now, I have been scanning individual sheet documents and saving as jpeg files with page 1, page 2, etc. With MDI, will I be able to merge additionally scanned in document sheets into an existing MDI file ? For example, I try to keep a running file on one of the several medical clinics that I visit. Once I have scanned in several sheets and closed the first MDI file, will I be able to append additional informational sheets into that existing MDI file ? Also, are the files created with use of MDI readable from other image viewers, such as IrfanView: will either application be able to pull in and display their inddependantly produced TIF files ? Also, is is possible to get a TIF image that is saved on disc into a MDI (empty) window, e.i., without scanning the original paper document? Thanks.

    - Use of Partition Magic Hi Folks, Thanks to several of you people responding to an earlier question that I had asked re: "one drive, two partitions", I have chosen to use Partition Magic to solve the problem. However, because I honestly don't know what I'm doing, I'm needing some more help. Partition Magic has identified my computer's drive configuration as follows: II. Existing Configuration: A.

Local Disk (D:) a) Type: NTSF b) Size: 11076.0 c) Used: 882.1 MB d) Un-used: 10193.9 MB e) Status: None f) Primary/Logical: Logical Partition Magic gives me the following choices: I. Options A. Tasks: 1. Create a new partition 2. Create a backup partition 3. Install another operating system 4. Resize a partition 5. Redistribute free space 6. Merge partitions 7. Copy a partition B. Partition Operations: 1. Delete Partition 2. Resize/Move partition 3. Convert Partition 4. Split Partition I've used a lot of space here, so I'll just simply say, I want one drive, with one partition labelled C. How should I proceed?

    - IE7 This is a continuation of a post on 3-7-08 with PA Bear. Greetings: I just installed the new IE7 on my Dell Dimensions 2400. It works, but not too well. It has slowed my computor down. When I click Start it is several seconds before the menu appears. Sometime it will not appear at all. When it does and I am able to open a program it will open partiatially along with two or three other programs that I did not ask for. They are in pieces. They will not close. Then I may get a box telling me the program is not responding. I just put a new Seagate Hard Drive in for these same reasons. I was advised by members of the Dell forum that the HD was the culprit. It apparently was not. It appears IE7 is the culptit. It works properly with IE6. I like IE7 and would like to keep it but not under these conditions. Can anyone advise me about how to make the IE7 work properly. Your help will be appreciated. Thank you. James I just put a new Seagate Hard Drive in for these same reasons.

Between Norton and SpyBot it seems to have been fixed. In the course of working the problem, I manually deleted numerous files from various temporary folders, especially exe and dll files modified at the time of infection.

I assume no real system file is ever stored in a user's temporary folder. Everything seems to work after acknowledging the alerts so I'm hoping these files were part of the virus. I assume the alerts are the result of some residual crap in the registry. Can someone tell me how to get rid of the alerts?

    - Get Problem Free PC Performance With Windows Registry Cleaner Windows registry cleaner should be regularly used to keep the PC registry up to date and free from errors. Window registry is database file maintained by the Windows operating system to keep the software and hardware configuration and system settings of the computer. Windows registry is a more organized way of storing the vital information as the system can access them in less time and with better accuracy. Microsoft introduced the registry in their Windows 95 version. In previous versions of Windows these information about system settings was stored in the INI files. As these INI files were stored all over the hard disc in a scattered way, it took the system more time to access these data that made the system slower. As Windows registry is meant to store the settings of the PC it generated a new entry each time you make any changes to your PC settings through the control panel and install or uninstall a program. As you keep using the PC that requires you to make regular changes to the PC settings, the number of registry entries keeps on increasing. All these entries especially the outdated and old entries are no longer used by the system. For better performance of your PC you should remove these unimportant entries with a Windows registry cleaner....

    - XP Installation problems- please help! I have a laptop which was runnning Windows 2000 and I'm trying to install Windows XP on it. I did manage to get it on but I must have made some mistake somewhere as on startup it was giving me the option to boot into either XP or Windows 2000. Before explaining the current status I should just explain exactly what I'd like to acheive ideally. One hard drive (C) with the full amount of storage space (10GB) running Windows XP. That's it! Nothing more, nothing less. So I have tried to do a few things- deleting partition, re-installing XP and now I'm really confused! When I startup now, I get 3 choices from the boot screen: Windows XP Home Edition Windows 2000 Professional Windows XP Setup If I select Windows XP Home Edition it says: Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. COuld not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows documemntation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information. If I select Windows 2000 Professional it gets me into Windows 2000. If I go to Computer Management>Disk Management there it reads: C: 5GB FAT32 - Primary Partition Unallocated 4.36GB Right-clicking on either of these doesn't give me an option to either delete or format. If I try Windows XP Home Edition Setup it says: Welcome to Setup To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER Insert the CD labeled Windows XP Home Edition CD ROM I then put in the disk and press enter. I then get the following screen: The following list shows the existing partitions and unpartitioned space on this computer 9586MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MPR] C: Partition1 (VAIONOTE) [FAT32] 5122MB 979MB free Unpartioned space 4463MB If I press 'D' on C, it says: Setup is unable to perform the requested operation on the slected partition. This partition contains temporary Setup files that are required to complete the installation. 'D' doesn't work on the unpartitioned space. If try to set up on C, it says: The partition you have chosen is too full to contain Windows XP which requires a drive with at least 1033MB of free disk space. I also have the following options: To repair a Windows XP intallation using Recovery Console, press R To quite Setup without installing Windows XP press F3 So, what do I do????!!!

Eventually I have to download a utility that is scheduled to automatically adjust time several times a day. But still the computer still switches time to a wrong one sometimes. I try to check and uncheck different options (e.g. "automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes", "automatically adjust clock via internet") in XP's "date and time properties" dialog. It doesn't help. Is it a hardware issue? Any help is much appreciated. I am quite frustrated with recent Dell's quality. JD Tag: Why do the 25 character CD keys have to be random letters? Tag: 322030

    - Problem opening a picture in an email I have two computers, each using Outlook Express 6 and WindowsXP Home. On each I tried opening a picture embedded in an email by right clicking the picture and selecting Save As. On computer 1, the file opens "Save Picture" and allows a normal save as JPEG. On computer 2, I get an error message. "Can't find the file specified". The help button identifies the missing file as c:\windows\sysyem32\mshtml.hlp I checked both computers' folders and find that each contains two files: mshtml.dll and mshtml.tlb. In other words, neither has the "missing" file. What's the explanation? -- PT Tag: Why do the 25 character CD keys have to be random letters? Tag: 322025

    - back slash key not working can anyone tell me why my back slash key doesn't work. I thought my keyboard must be faulty so I went out and bought another keyboard but the back slash key doesn't work with the new keyboard either.

    - White screen freeze Hi my lap top has devleoped some problem on boot up. It just freezes onto a white screen on boot up before I see any graphics. It looks as though it can access the DVD/CD drive but any attempt to boot up with a recovery disc fails in the same white screen and it freezes. I have tried the manufacturers advice as powering up with the F12 key pressed and another suggestion on the CD to hold the C key down whislt turning on the power brings the same result. Nothing bu the white screen. I have treid F8 to see if I can get into safe mode but it won't move on past the initial clunking of the drives and then silence. I can't think of any way to get this to allow me to move on. I am sure you can though? I would be happy to format and reload but if I can't access the drive then how can I do that?

    - Resizing pics to e-mail When right clicking on a .jpg image and selecting "send to e-mail recipient", I used to get a pop-up "Send Pictures Via E-Mail - Windows can resize the pictures you send so they transfer faster, etc. etc." It no longer appears, so I have to edit each image and change the attributes manually after Outlook Express opens with the image attached. How can I get it back so the function is automatic. Thanks for any help. Tag: Why do the 25 character CD keys have to be random letters? Tag: 322013

Such simplistic keys are too easy to decode.
