Let me start by saying i've read several other related threads on this topic, and so far none seem to fit my case. Turned PC on one day to find a log on prompt that I had not set up.. I'm unable to log on as admin, or even start my PC in safe mode. Only thing that seems to work is bios setup. I've also tried a password breaker program on blank disc, but my comp won't boot from the cd.. gives me option.. but then acts as if i have no keyboard plugged in. Also XP HE was preinstalled on my pc and I have no backup/install discs! help plz -b

Two Copies of mrt.exe?
by Guest Mike- 9 replies
- 348 views
A little while back, one of the Windows Updates contained a download for the Malicious Software Removal Tool (mrt.exe), so I downloaded it, along with the rest of that month's batch. Since I thought I had that already, I did a search and found it in two different places: 1.) Where it's supposed to be: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Size - 15,876 KB Date Created - 5/15/2005 Date Modified - 6/28/2007 2.) AND I ALSO found it in: C:\c6f23b84c9e (etc., etc. - a long string of (seemingly) random numbers and letters) Size - 14,620 KB Date Created - 5/9/2007 Date Modified - 4/27/2007 I looked everywhere on the net and from everything I could find, it'…

Hello, my Explorer.exe has been crashing after doing file searches and I'm not sure what to do. According to the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900004/en-us it says that I should uninstall the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit however, I can't seem to find it on my system?

Can't find files on hard drive
by Guest Newbie- 6 replies
- 321 views
Hi, I have a very strange problem where the "search" in Windows XP doesn't always find the files I need. I have changed the viewing in Explorer so it shows all hidden/system files. I did, however disabled Indexing service. But from what I understand, indexing should only speed up searches, correct? In this case, it goes very quick and returns 0 found. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Advice about editing register
by Guest Jack Crane- 3 replies

I received this advice from a Kaspersky forum: ======================================================= You must install KAV before Comodo... Or you can do this.. open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall \COMODO Firewall Pro export the full key then delete it. afterwards you should be able to install Kaspersky. after the installation just reimport the key. ===================================================== I would like to do the edit he suggests. I've found the register key using regedit, and see how I could export it. But I'm uncertain how to import it again after I've deleted it. I'm reluc…

My mom has a computer running Windows XP. She installed some software for an active desktop that bogged her computer down because of the memory required for the active desktop. She has removed the software and selected the Windows fall theme for her desktop. When her computer boots up, you can see the theme then her screen changes to orange. It looks as though the theme is behind this orange screen. Any advice to get rid of the orange screen?

Windows XP home, Quick Basic V4.5 and port(s) access
by Guest PSRumbagh- 1 reply
- 200 views
I have a Compaq Presario V2000 running Windows XP home SP2 that has two USB 2.0 ports and no built in serial (RS232) or parallel (IEEE 1284) ports. I have a Radio Shack model 26-183 USB to RS232 serial adapter cable and a LPT-PCM PCMCIA CardBus to parallel IEEE 1284 that supports SPP/ECP/EPP modes. I am running Quick Basic V4.5 in conjunction with TameDos on Windows XP. Will Quick Basic V4.5 allow me to access these two adapters from inside a ..BAS program while in the Windows XP environment? If not, can I do this using Visual Basic Express 2005, which I have yet to learn? Also, is it possible to access the USB ports in Quick Basic and / or Visual B…
