Re: Operating system langauge But for Windows Vista, is the same process in effect? I read that vista ultimate gives you the power to change the operating language. Is this true?

XP Stalling during boot screen
by Guest LaSalle- 6 replies
- 234 views
Just curious if anyone had any ideas. My XP service pack 2 is stalling every time I boot it up (the black screen with the XP logo and the progress bar below it). The progress bar just gets frozen and nothing else happens. The only way to get anything going is in safe mode, which still works fine. I have tried a couple of system restores (back 10 days or so) to no avail - the same problem persists. Any ideas.

file>send>shortcut to desktop option doesn't work
by Guest Frank F- 4 replies

When I use, file>send>shortcut to desktop option (in Internet explorer) , an icon does appear on the desktop but it doesn't have the blue "e" in it and when I try to use it, it just asks what program do I want to use. I noticed in Control panel, folder options, file types, that when I select different items, the info changes but it does NOT for HTM & HTML so maybe these 2 are corrupted ? How can I fix this ? Thanks Frank

Visual C++ Runtime Library Error
by Guest Phil_D- 0 replies
- 120 views
I have just begun to experience a Microsoft Visual C++Runtime Error during two separate operations. When I try to open my internal “D” drive (RAID 0 - mostly video AVI files) in thumbnail view I get the message window: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library / Runtime Error! / Program: C:\Explorer.exe / R6025 / -pure virtual function call. When I close the window, explorer closes and I lose my desktop icons and taskbar briefly, but they return within about 30 seconds. If I open the “D” drive in list view, it does not occur. The second instance occurs when I open Adobe Encore DVD. Upon initial opening of the program there is no problem, but as soon as I op…

Securing my XP pro desktop.. index.dat?
by Guest jc- 1 reply
- 124 views
Running XP Pro at work. Domain Admins are able to access my Desktop. I can tell some users have accessed my machine from new directories in \documents and settings. I've removed some of those directories, but one of them tells me the file index.dat is in use, but I can't find that file in the Documents and Settings user subdirectory. What does this mean? How can I tell the last time a user has logged into my machine?

service packs
by Guest Nate Rosenthal- 3 replies

I am having difficulty adding a few components to my computer. I have XP and had it up to SP3. I have cleaned things by unistalling and removing through Add/Remove. Included in this were all the updates along the way over the past five years. For example in trying to add fax service, it is asking for my CD of SP3. I don't have that, only the original CD. I am guessing that I may have deleted some important files in previous updates. Should I be going to Microsoft's website to reinstall updates that go all the way back? Should I reinstall SP3 or even go to SP2 and then SP3. Any thoughts

Automatic Updates - Windows XP
by Guest LenC- 3 replies
- 177 views
I have automatic updates set to check daily for updates and to download them automatically. I noticed in eventvwr that windows checks for updates every hour all day long - every day. Should it be doing that? I would have assumed it would check one time each day at the time specified.

Something Seriously Wrong
by Guest MargarineFly- 4 replies
- 166 views
I have no idea what is wrong with my computer. But it just keeps getting worse. I keep getting these adware or spyware or something? It's like Windows XP Virus Detector things that keep popping up. Now I got one that said Windows Vista, and I don't even have Vista. I think it got removed when I ran the Anti spyware program I have. The computer seems to be working better. Except now when I go to start menu, there's not options for programs, or run, or control panel or anything like that. Anyone know what is going on, or have any advice to fix it? :[

Removal of braviax.exe
by Guest AllenH- 5 replies
- 234 views
I inadvertantly opened an email which has left me with an icon on the toolbar which constantly pops up telling me my computer is infected. Windows OneCare appears to have removed the infection (or tells me it has detected and removed it) but the icon is still there and I get constant pop-ups. The thing seems to be lodged as Braviax.exe in C;\windows\system32 and is 9kb. I've tried deleting it but it won't move. Has anyone any idea how I can get rid of the thing? It's in XP, by the way (not Vista). Allen -- Now enjoying Vista after 8 months of frustration!
