by Guest Hari- 5 replies

Hi, Im having lots of issues with my computer and virtually unable to work. Logging to windows XP (SP2, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB SATA hard disk) takes atleast 30 minutes and that too after navigating through couple of errors (blue screen, autochk.exe missing and so on) etc. Im not able to run any programs after logging on (associations lost). I have copied relevant files (my documents, favourites, personal excel macros) from C drive to other drives in the same disk and now would like to reinstall XP in C drive. When I try booting through CD drive, the set-up begins and I get a message in the bottom saying "press F6 if you need to install any third-party or RAID…

Strange problem
by Guest Ronin4444- 2 replies
- 240 views
I gave my old computer to my sister. I did a clean reinstall of XP home edition and had some problems with some logon files not getting copied (msgina.dll was one of them) XP wouldn't start. I did a repair from the CD and cleared the problems up. I then couldn't activate the OS over then net. Called Microsoft and got it to activate over the phone. Then it wouldn't do any updates. Trying to get this solved I noticed that the Hard drive was 75% full. This should be impossible since I just reformatted the drive during the reinstall. No files show in My Documents, My Pictures, My Music or anywhere else. Nothing shows up in program files either. BUT…

Digital certificate trustability
by Guest Jaelani- 11 replies
- 449 views
Hello, Many program files such as EXEs, DLLs, OCXs etc. have embeded digital certificate viewable from their file property dialog. I know that when a file's certificate is no longer valid (not expired), it means that it somehow has been modified. Correct me if I'm wrong. But any programmer that know how to properly embed a certificate can use fake names in the certificate (e.g. Symantec, Google, Microsoft, etc.) or look-alike names since anyone can make their own valid certificate. So my question is, how do I know if a certificate really does come from the intended source? What can I do to check the trustability of a digital certificate? Here's an example…

Re: Over 4 million highjacked PC's My little broadband icon in the system tray sometimes sometimes lights up with activity even though I'm not on-line - my wireless router is always on with my PC by the way. I've read that way over 4 million PC's have been highjacked. My question is: how can one tell if one has been highjacked and how can we stop them doing it again? Thanks - Andy
