Win2000 pro, upon boot up, it goes to a blue screen with a window in the center stating, Windows error, need to install antivirus program and shows two different names of a virus or a trojan. It also locks up the system. Went into safe mode and the window does not appear. Any help would be appreciated.

I plan to do some testing which will require a baseline (clean install of Windows XP with SP2) image that I can restore to an newly formatted partition multiple times. I have Norton Ghost but thought I'd try True Image (the 15 day free trial version). Question is, does the trial version allow you to create a True Image boot CD than can be used to restore a partition from a baseline image file stored on another partition. If the trial version does have this feature any tips on creating the boot CD would be helpful. JS

could some one please tell me how can I find what folder the form data (form password) are stored in ?

Hi there, I wonder if some kind soul could help please? I have a bunch of computers on my home network with various usernames such as Administrator, Admin and some using my own name. As I use RDP to zoom around my network both locally & remotely I would like to standardise on the username to make it easy to remember which computer has which username. For example my MediaCenter PC was originally setup with a default account of Administrator and all of my program settings, preferences, folders etc are defined as such. Now if I setup a new user (my name for example) I am going to lose all kinds of things as detailed above including probably the…

I scheduled a check disk from within XP, it freezes on the 4th part at 66%. I have tried a repair which runs but then on the reboot, it runs check disk again... and freezes at 66%. How can i cancel check disk before windows loads. From the command prompt chkntfs is not a valid program. I can not open in safe mode. Thanks in advance.

I have a laptop. I used AOE 2 on it, which automatically resizes the window. It even boots up small so it seems to affect the BIOS settings possibly. I can't get it back to how it was. I have connected the lappy to my LCD and it shows smaller screen with black border, ruling out the lappy monitor. I am convinced there is a really easy setting somewhere but can't see it for the life of me. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Windows xp Pro (SP-3 and all updates applied) Dell Inspiron B130 Celeron 1.5 GHz w/ Samsung SN-S082D CD/DVD-RW Nero 7 How can I reset xp to use DMA for the drive? Previously, Nero burned at the true rate (8x) now, even though Nero says it will use 8x it is actually 1.2x Obviously, 53-minutes to burn a data or video DVD is crap. IDE controller Advanced Tab...... Device 0 says Ultra DMA Mode 5 Device 1 says DMA * if available* (current mode - PIO Mode) Thanks

Hi All, We have approx 30 terminal servers where I work, and we are having some issues with users trying to use command prompt. We have disabled cmd.exe, however the users are still able to create a shortcut/batch file to access command.com. Was wondering if there is a way to disable this through group policy, as I would like to apply the same restriction to the pc's that we have as well. I have tested changing the permissions on command.com, and it seems to work well, however, am not entirely keen on having to visit each computer/login to each server separately. Thanks, Gavin

First of all, Norma, do all of us and yourself a favor by answering some questions: 1. Do I want or need to upgrade and why? 2. Do I really need an upgrade or do I want a new machine with new hardware so I can run cool new games, run Itunes and other stuff? Suggestions:Why not just keep your old Windows 98 machine and if you don't want it then donate it and or recycle it because I think Norma you are the user who wants to run the latest stuff. 3. Do you want someone like Falcon Northwest, Dell, Toshiba, etc. to build your machine, or do you want to build it or a friend ie. system engineer to help you build it, etc. Please correct me …

After replacing my laptop I reloaded MS Office (Home) 2003 and am missing some fonts. I just uninstalled the SW and reinstalled it again (requesting the complete install this time) and still some fonts are missing. Any ideas? HELP!!

Old timers here will know that I simply love Dave's Quick Search Deskbar - http://www.dqsd.net. And that there was a semi-custom solution to running it in 64-bit that I used. Well, with a lot of hard work and persistence, we now have 64-bit support built into the mainstream of DQSD. Whenever we build a new version, we'll be building a 64bit version side by side. YIPPEE! The installer is still a batch file that has my hands all over it, though with a lot of excellent suggestions from Kim Grasman it is cleaner and a bit smarter. But it works, and appears to be smart enough for general use. So please - go download it and check it out. It's one of those littl…
