[zism]

hi

 

the report didnt show anything.

 

I scheduled disk check for next time I powered on but nothing happened!

 

:confused:

[AdvancedSetup]

Yes, often Antivirus or other drivers can prevent the CHKDSK from running.

 

So is your system still running very slow? If so, then I do suspect maybe a failing hard drive.

 

Let's try this then to see if we can find any more details or issues.

 

Download

Deckard's System Scanner (DSS)

to your

Desktop

.

Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.

1. Close
   all applications and windows.
   
   
2. Double-click
   on
   dss.exe
   to run it, and follow the prompts.
   
   
3. When the scan is complete, two text files will open -
   main.txt
   <- this one will be maximized
   and
   extra.txt
   <-this one will be minimized
   
   
4. Copy
   (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C)
   and paste
   (Ctrl+V)
   the contents of
   main.txt
   and the extra.txt to your post in your reply
   
   

What DSS will do:

• create a new System Restore point in Windows XP and Vista.
  
  
• clean your Temporary Files, Downloaded Program Files, and Internet Cache Files, and also empty the Recycle Bin on all drives.
  
  
• check some important areas of your system and produce a report for your analyst to review. DSS automatically runs HijackThis for you, but it will also install and place a shortcut to HijackThis on your desktop if you do not already have HijackThis installed.
  
  

Notes:

The first time that the Deckard scanner is run, the extra.txt is generated in a minimized window. The second time you will not obtain the extra.txt. You must go to

Start

=>

Run

and copy the following

"%userprofile%\desktop\dss.exe" /config

in the line and click OK You will receive a pop-up box with options to check for the Main log and Extra Log and Options.

Well not much really stands out. The system does appear to not meet recommended minimum requirements for Vista. Did you have XP on this system and the upgrade to Vista? It certainly does not appear to be a system that was sold from a vendor with Vista on it.

 

So from what I can see you either probably have a failing drive which is causing very slow response or the system just is not powerful enough for Vista, in which case if you still have the original Windows XP CD you may want to consider formatting the drive and installing XP.

 

There are some other drive tools you could run and try to determine if its seeing any hard drive failures as well if you like.

[zism]

hi

I bought this laptop last April with Windows Vista pre installed! :eek: There is also has a Windows Vista sticker on it.

 

If you can tell me how to uninstall WIndows VIsta I could install XP as I still have the XP discs from my old PC ?

Thanks

 

:mad:

Edited July 6, 2008 by zism

[AdvancedSetup]

Well I would probably go with using some tools to check out the hard drive. If you were okay with how it ran before then a repair/re-installation of Vista may bring it back to that level, but if it has a bad hard drive then even installing XP won't help much and could prove to be difficult to do if the drive really is failing.

 

Give me some time to find some good tools to test the hard drive. If one of the other members has links to good tools to check the drive that would be help so that I don't have to look for them.

[RandyL]

Hi;

Samsung does have a utility to check quite a few of their drives. See if your drive is listed.

Samsung drive diagnostics.

[zism]

hi

Im afraid I cant see my drive listed on the Samsung site

:confused:

[AdvancedSetup]

I think you should be able to run it on the drive even if it's not listed.

 

You need to burn it to a CD though to boot from and use it.

Now I cannot get this to work! :(

 

It burns the zip file but then when you try and open it it asks what you want to use to open it :confused:

 

Im sorry Im not the best when it comes to technology!:o

Ok you need to use winzip to 'unpack' the file to a set location - say a *new folder* on the desktop.

and then you need to burn the files in the *new folder* onto a cd

 

*you could use another location*

[zism]

okay, when I try and save it to a new folder (c:hutil) I get the following message:

 

WinRAR: Diagnostic messages

 

c:\hutil\hutil210_iso_for_cdrom_drive.zip: Unexpected end of archive

 

WHen I then try and unzip I get

 

c:\hutil\hutil210_iso_for_cdrom_drive.zip: the archive is either in unknown format or damaged

Ok - can you try and download the file again from the site and save to desktop

[zism]

ok, ave saved the zip file to my desktop but when I try and unzip it I am asked to choose a program to open the file

:confused:

[Dalo Harkin]

do you have winzip - download the free version - thats what opens zipped files

[zism]

im having a bad day! with winzip all I get is a notepad document with lots of muddled text :(

[Dalo Harkin]

Ok right click on the winzip file you are trying to open - there will be an option saying open with......click that and select winzip.

[zism]

yup that is what I did .... then extract, and thats when I got the gobildegook!!:D Edited July 9, 2008 by zism

[Dalo Harkin]

Ok right click the file you are trying to open and select properties - tell us 'the type of file'

[zism]

its WinZip File (zip)

[Dalo Harkin]

winzip should open the file then - I am stumped if you are doing what I said previous and right clicking on the file and then selecting open with - and then searching and using winzip

[zism]

absolutely nothing happens when I click open! I can see the bottom of the screen moving but still nothing!

[Dalo Harkin]

Not open - open with

[zism]

Yes I clicked Open with then once it opens WInzip I then click Open

I can't see a free version of Winzip Dave, please correct me if I'm mistaken.
