CTRL ALT DELETE
by Guest Bill- 4 replies
- 269 views
Seems like the normal function of the "CTRL ALT DELETE" key stroke has changed. Before when they are used it brought up a screen with three tabs. Now it only brings up one screen. Its the END PROCESS screen listing all proceses running with the % used by each program. The top tab with the simple list of open programs and the third tab are gone. Can anyone explain what happened?

Recycle Bin wants to delete WINDOWS
by Guest GianLuca- 2 replies
- 214 views
From time to time I see the Recycle Bin icon indicates content. When I attempt to empty it I receive a message that says "Are you sure you want to delete WINDOWS?" Once I called its bluff and clicked on yes. It did not delete WINDOWS. What is happening here and can it be corrected? This is not a virus.

stop: 0x00000050 error code
by Guest Ledesmark- 1 reply

I am using a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop computer, running Windows XP Pro w/sp 3. When attempting to install a Kyocera KPC650 wireless broadband card my computer immediately shuts down to a blue screen. I have updated everything that can be updated; have installed the card on another computer (to make sure it works), and spoke with the card manufacturer. The only help I am able to find is how to get the blue screen from appearing. I know how to keep the blue screen from appearing (dont install the card), what I would like to know is how I can get the card to work in my computer.

Downloading Updates 33% for ages.
by Guest Weatherlawyer- 6 replies
- 333 views
I have a yellow shield in my system tray stating that I am downloading updates. No idea from where. Presumably MS updates but why is it stuck at 33% it's been like that for a while. I have nVidia firewall that came with the computer and Avast free antivirus. I would have thought that WinPatrol or SpyBot would have warned me of any problems. Nothing from any of the above. I have the updates scheduler set to download and then let me choose what I want from it. Thanks to all in advance.

Has anyone used microsoft OneLive.com? It has a free service to scan your pc for virus and/or correct corrupted registry files. I"ve been having problem doing system restore. My pc might be virus infected already. Currently, I don't have virus scan installed. I done everything as suggested by the generous posters here. From taking ownership of all the files and folders of the corrupted administrator profile and then copying it to another administrator profile. All this done on safe mode. I still can't log in on normal mode, it always log me in in the system default profile, for the mean time its' building up enormous temp user folders in the s…

Can anyone tell me whether there is a way to force a Scheduled Task to run automatically at next boot-up (or some other time when the system is running) if the PC is turned off when the scheduled time occurs? I'm running WinXP (SP3) on a stand-alone desktop. -- Ian A Robinson
