Why are all of my documents gradually being reclassified as 'read-only'?
This has only just started, too, and was not instigated by me. Are they being encrypted, or compressed to save space on an old machine? View this thread

No audio until I downloaded a driver.
Since I had no sound I download an audio driver from a Microsoft website which fixed the problem. However, after I turned the computer off, there was no audio after rebooting it the next day. Day 2 the same things happened as I updated the audio driver again and audio worked as long as the computer remained on. But after reboot it didn't ' work again. I think it was a Sigma Tel audio drive that I downloaded from your site. Then it disappears on reboot. View this thread

Slow start up with XP, can't get updates - problems related ?
I am running Windows XP Professional. About a week ago, system start up became very slow, about 10 minutes or so. Once started everything runs fine and shut down takes the usual amount of time. I ran a defrag on the hard drive and a disk clean, but the slow start up has not improved. I noticed that I have not received any updates in a while even though I have automatic updates turned on. I went to the update web site and tried to check for updates and got an error 0x80070424. I then tried to run MS Fixit which said it found an error, but could not correct it. I'm not sure what to do from here, so any help would be appreciated. View this thread

My HP Pavillion Desktop computer recently crashed. I attempted to recover it and it stated Missing NTLDR, I contacted HP and they informed me that Since I purchased my computer form Costco they do not support it. I contacted Costco and they told me that it is out of warranty, I caalled HP back, and they informed me that all fo my computer was a RE-FURBISHED one(I did nto know this when I purchased it from Costco), so I was stuck. i dug through my old software boxes which my operating systems date back to windows 3.1, and found my old copy of windows XP Professional, i installed it and now the Microsoft updates will not update stating that my software is too old. I am a disabled vet now ona fixed disability income and cannot afford a new computer or to purchase a new operating system, I was recently enrolled in college through the VA vocational rehab program to upgrade my jobskills to adapt to the new job market starting on June 6th, and I need a working computer to take my classes. How can I get service packs to update my computer please? View this thread

Having to run Microsoft Security Essentials 2 & 3 times a day
I run Microsoft Security Essentials daily because no matter how often I run it, it always says my computer is potentially unprotected. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the Microsoft website. I also have IOBIT Advanced SystemCare Pro and IOBIT Malware Fighter v1.4. Should my computer require a daily and sometimes 2 and 3 times a day cleaning? This happens even on days when I am at work all day and the computer is not on. Could some malware be in my computer that is not being detected by any of the programs I have for protection. Also, I have run the Microsoft virus scanner and it too, says my computer is safe - so, what gives? View this thread

Possible computer crash
I received a call from Microsoft Dallas, stating my computer was about to crash and they wanted access to my computer to resolve the issue. They sounded foreign (spoke broken english) and connection was like a cell phone about to drop the call. I basically told them due to identify theft and rampant fraud I wouldn't give them access. The first individual put on his supervisor who was just as foreign sounding as the first man. What should I do? View this thread
