Ok, first let me say that I just finished cleaning up the aftermath of the XP Antivirus 2012 malware.... so this may be related. I am left with a firewall that won't run and applications that can't connect to the internet. The Windows Firewall/ICS service is not running and will not start - says file not found. My question is - WHAT file is not found?? I have verified that svchost is where is should be as well as two other files I was directed to in another post.... IPNATHLP.DLL and IPNAT.SYS... both are where they should be. Any other ideas??? Continue reading...

Windows 7 Professional Not Genuine after system Restore
by Guest Happycoop- 0 replies
- 134 views
I came home one day to find my computer in limbo after a power failure. I tried the system restore and eventually I was able to get the operating system working, however nothing else worked. I had an IT person help me get all my programs up and running and what he did was uninstall frame work and reinstalled it back and ran an SFC on the system. However now I get a notice that the Windows is not Genuine. I've played phone tag with the computer manufacturer and have tried every other support I could think of. I'm really tired of seeing this message and don't know how to resolve. Here is the diagnostic from the computer Diagnostic Report (1.9.0019.0): --------------…

My internet explorer closes every time I close a page I am viewing even when others are still open. I get an error message when I try to access "iTunes" that says it has been moved or changed and the shortcut doesn't work. I have run Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Disk Cleanup, and Disk Defragmenter. Nothing shows up and it continues to do this. When I checked Problems Reports and Solutions, there were many cases of Internet Explorer being closed and several problems with this file client_manifest.txt. Anything anyone can do to help would be greatly appreciated!!! Continue reading...

I have now finally removed the various stages of "Mr Fixit" as it would not work. It stated that as it was not supported by my computer it could not work. However "Power Shell" will not allow me to remove it until I reinstall "Mr Fixit" but I do not intend to do this, so there must be another way I can remove "Power Shell" Continue reading...

I'm trying to get 7 to install and I'm having a bear of a time. It has taken a tremendously long time to cycle through the steps and after a little more than an hour, it was only at 6% of Expanding Windows Files. I've taken a stick of RAM out bringing me down to 2gb, have tried three burns (one at the slowest speed and verified), neither has helped. Please help. My system specs: 5400+ Black Edition (non-OCed) Abit AN52 Motherboard (nForce 520) OCZ PC-6400 4gb (2gb during install) XfX Geforce 8800GT Western Digital Raptor x2 Continue reading...

Wireless Network - Secured WPA - Help
by Guest Miha_Lela- 0 replies
- 198 views
need help setting up a computer on my wireless network. The network has WPA2 encryption. The computer has XP SP3. I have used two wireless USB adapters - With a Dell adapter, I can't see any options for WPA in the Wireless configuration utility (only WEP and Disabled). If I broadcast my network SSID (which I prefer not to), I can find it, click on it and - get into an endless loop of acquiring network address (it doesn't ask for the "passphrase"). With a Trendnet adapter, I can see the WPA option in the Wireless Configuration tab - but there is no place to enter the passphrase, so same thing happens - I can't connect. I tried to get the most updated driver…

ERROR_NOT_FOUND 0x80070490 while trying to install SP1
by Guest odyssey555- 0 replies
- 117 views
I've been trying to install SP1 on my Windows 7 x64 Enterprise all day, but got nothing but failures. I get the dreaded 0x80070490 ERROR_NOT_FOUND error, which seem to indicate that something may be corrupt, so I ran the KB947821 System Update Readyness tool and sfc.exe /scannow, which both doesn't solve the problem. The logs can be downloaded here: http://db.tt/Ux7buE2 (includes all from C:\Windows\Logs\CBS and setupapi.dev.log in addition) I should probably mention that I initially was about to install SP1 when Windows already decided that it wanted to install it's updates, so while shutting down it installed 89 updates, and on the 89th update it just kept on "instal…

load winpe environment from DOS
by Guest althurm- 0 replies
- 104 views
I've been playing around in WinPe environments lately. Right now I currently have a usb stick that I have configured to boot to a dos environment. So when it boots it just comes to a command pronpt (c:>). I have an Acronis WinPe boot disk that I would like to copy to my stick and call the acronis software from DOS. Normally you boot to the Acronis disc and it loads the winpe environment, then it runs its software. So actually i think i need two steps: 1. Load the WinPe environment while in DOS. 2. After its loaded call the executable (I'm sure this will be easy once i figure out how to get the winpe environment up) I'm just wondering if there is any simple command t…
