deanrit Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 I have similar problem as above mentioned Cache Access Denied error code. It pops up every time I try to use IE 7. I can use FireFox to access the internet but can't use IE at all. This popup keeps me from doing anything at all. I tried the 5-step procedure for cleaning up my computer, but the process requires you to use Internet Explorer -- which I can't. My System Restore will not work either. It keeps saying to restart my computer then try again. Did that twice and still cannot remove previous restore points. Can someone help? Quote
deanrit Posted August 29, 2009 Author Posted August 29, 2009 BTW BTW, this all started when I did a windows update - my computer said that updates were available, so I clicked the icon... I guess that was a big mistake. Quote

Jelly Bean Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Hey welcome back. Have you tried a system restore to just before you installed the updates? Click start/all programs/accessories/system tools/system restore. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Jelly Bean Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Open IE and click tools/internet options/Connections/LAN settings button and uncheck Proxy Server and leave all feilds empty. Close IE and reopen. If that doesnt work check the box Auto detect settings. Close IE and reopen. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
deanrit Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 Thank You! Hey Jelly Bean, it worked! IE is up and running again! Thanks!!!!! How did those settings about a proxy server get put into my computer? Quote
Jelly Bean Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 That is excellent. I am glad it is fixed. It may of been a glitch or the updates. Did some one else touch your PC at some point. Did you update to a newer version of IE? It could be a number of things,but hey its fixed now. JB. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
deanrit Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 About System Restore When I try to go to system restore, as you advised above, I get an error: System Restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer, and then run system restore again. Quote
deanrit Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 Sys Restore I tried to do system restore a few times, but got same error message each time. Quote
deanrit Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 IE Update Yes, I did update from IE7 to IE8, then back to IE7 because one of my SEO software programs would not work with IE8. Do you think I have Malware running around my computer? Quote
Jelly Bean Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I dont think it is malware but lets see if we can do a bit of a service on your computer. If you have the install CD I sugest: Click start/Open run box/Type in run box cmd and hit ok/Type in the command window sfc /scannow and hit enter on your keypad and pop in the install disk and run system file checker. Let it run and see if it helps. You dont need system restore now as the IE issue is fixed. I do not like IE8 and I stayed with IE7. Ok you can then do the following once sfc /scannow has finished. Please disable your resident security applications (such as AVG, Spybot, WinPatrol, etc.) before performing the below procedure so that they do not interfere with the process. Perform all the steps in the order listed to avoid any conflicts. If unsure, please stop and voice your doubts. You might be required to go offline during the disinfection process. Therefore, it is recommended to print off the instructions below for ease of reference. If you stick to the above guidelines, all should go smoothly. ================================================ STEP 1 Download ATF-Cleaner by Atribune. Save the file to your Desktop. Double-click on the file to run the program. On the Main tab, check the Select All button. Next, click on the Firefox tab (if applicable) and check the Select All button.

Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen and click Next. Give the restore point a name then click Create. The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a note of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore. Next, click on Start > Run, type Cleanmgr and click on OK. Click on the More Options tab. Click the Clean Up button in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the most recent one. This will remove any infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in "System Restore" are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only foolproof way to ensure the deletion of those files. Note: Do not clear restore points on a regular basis as doing so will clear all previous restore points even those that you may need. System Restore is a useful tool to revert your computer back to a working condition if something goes wrong. Re-enable all your security applications and please return here and tell us how the computer seems to be operating.

deanrit Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks! Thank you very much Jelly Bean. I'm doing these procedure now... Quote
Jelly Bean Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Excellent. They will take time you dont have to do them all now. I will say I am off to bed shortly though as its nearly 2-30 am. But please do not worry I am subscribed to your thread and will pop on and check when I rise.Oh and had a cup of tea first. If you are worried of any reports the the software,s show you can copy and paste the logs into another post to be looked at. I think you should be fine and that XP has just become a little glitchy. Chat to you later. JB. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
deanrit Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 Steps 1 through 4 OK.... Hi Jelly Bean, Thank you for all of your help. I really do appreciate it! All scans went OK without finding any significant threats, just a few tracking cookies. My only challenge now is to complete "Step 5" -- deleting the restore points. When I try to do step 5 I get the error message: system restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer, and then run system restore again. Restarting doesn't fix it. Is this a serious problem? Quote
Jelly Bean Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Hello and welcome back. This maybe a silly question but are you sure System Restore is turned on? Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. In the System Properties dialog box, click the System Restore tab. Is it on or off? Or try the following: Restore/Enable System Restore - #278 on the left. http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Right click on it and save the .reg file to your desktop. Then, double click on the file icon (on your desktop) to merge it into your registry. You may need to reboot your computer for the changes to take affect. With any fix like this you should create a new restore point and backup the registry first. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
deanrit Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 About System Restore yes, system restore is definitely on. Quote
Jelly Bean Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Have you tried the fix I posted? Try this: Start > run: msconfig >> select "launch system restore" and follow the prompts from there. Choose a date that precedes the problem. Does system restore run from there? Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Jelly Bean Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Ok let me post a few of these I found: Check to Make Sure that Your System Restore Service is Running (it should be)....to do this click Start, then Run, then type services.msc Then scroll down and find "System Restore Service" , and make sure it is Started and set to "Automatic". System Restore Requires this to be running. One sugestion was are you using Norton?If yes that could be the issue. Repair install: Perform a Repair Installation Or even backup all data and run either recovery console or reinstall windows. I have gone through many many pages trying to find a fix.
