Hi What cable are you using to connect the pc to the lcd tv?

Hi Go to this page and download the one that says windows xp emergency boot disk. Burn it to a cd/dvd. this will allow you to boot from this disk. Also look at this website. actually look at the bottom site first before trying the boot cd.

Thanks for the links.

Hi Do anyone know of a good site to learn advanced html and all levels of java. Well java to work with html i think its called something else. I want to create my own webpage so i want to learn all the tools needed. What can you recomend. :) Thanks

Acer normally partition the harddrive with 3 partitions, one for windows one for storage and a hidden recovery partion, witch you use when doing a system recover using alt+f10 at startup This restores it to factory default. It normally wipes everything of the c: keeping everything on D: . I have done this with my acer (though not same model). I copied everything i needed to D: and then reinstalled windows, You will then need to reinstall any other programs aswell. This is usefull if you have all the disks for the programs you are running.

Hi i would recommend bitdefender. Also read this by seth.

Hi You can check out this page See if that helps

If you press alt + ctrl + del and the task manager pops up but with no tabs, just dubbel click anywhere on the task manager.

Success!!!!! :) updates installed. all 70 of them. So first installed bitdefender and did a complete scan. Twice. Then when it found nothing i did a repair install of windows. Then whent to the update website and it installed all the updates. Thanks for Everyone's help

If all else fails then your only option really is to re-install windows and that means you LOSE all the data. Cant you save all the files you need to a CD/DVD and do have you all the disks for all the programs you are using. If you got all the disks for the programs and u can copy all your files that you want to a CD or DVD or flashdrive and then reinstall windows. But i'd also just wait until you hear what the admin and mods have to say about this idea. Good luck

No not yet. I bought a decent antivirus thought. Bitdefender 2008. i am installing that now. Thanks for all the help so far.

Ahh. Dont worry i know what they are. Go here

Yes there is a $ infront of the name and all of the folder looks like it says $uninstall_(on of the KB files which i know is windows update files) Maybe i must delete these folders and then try update. Or not? Thanks

Hi thanks for the replay. So far ive done all the scan i can including trendmicro(online),bitdefender(online),AVG(installed) and superantispyware. Seems to me is just the updates now. What i am doing now is i downloaded all the updates one by one took forever to do, and now i am installing them one by one everyone says successful after each installation but i'll see when i am finished, coz i need to restart after each install been busy for hours now. I'll post back if this worked. Thanks again

ok ill do that now. also i noticed in the windows folder some of the folder names are blue is that normal?

sorry about that, i'll keep to this thread.

Hi ok i turned off system restore. ran the scans (trendmicro and superantispyware). Deleted all the infected files. Turned system restore on again. When the little icon in the right corner says updates are ready to be installed i click on that and choose express install. it goes and says installing updates. a few seconds later it says the following updates failed to install and lists about 60 files. Maybe i should install it one by one. thanks

Thanks for that :)

I dont want to sound stupid but how do you get smiley's in the post's and make a link I know some html code but tried it once and it did not work on the post. thanx hope this is the right section.
