Hi experts,

I am the local administrator of a computer on which Windows XP Professional is installed. I have several applications installed.

When i try to set up some of these applications, i get an error message which states that, the windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file and that i might not have appropriate permission to access the application.

As i said earlier, I am the only administrator on this computer and do not understand how i do not have permission to access these applications.

I need to be able to start up these programs and make certain standard settings changes.

Help me out.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Not too long ago I received a message on my computer informing me that my computer was infected and that i should download and install a security application to remove the infections. I did download  and install the application. However, I found out later that the application was actually a fake. It was not a real antivirus nor security program.

Thankfully, I was able to remove the fake security application, but since then I am not able to open any programs. The only way I can open programs is by using the task manager.

I have also noticed that, i cannot install applications.

What can be the cause of this and how can it be solved?

I have Windows XP Professional installed on my computer. 

Thanking you.

Hi all,

After updating to Mozilla Firefox 4.0, my computer started to act strange. I was receiving different types of errors and Mozilla Firefox kept crashing. To resolve this problem I did a system restore.

The system restore restored my computer to the previous day.

The problem is that now ,when I click on an icon on my desktop, I get the option to open the icon with the "Open With" dialog box.

I also tried opening icons via the Control Panel but I get an error which says:

"C:WINDOWSsystem32rundll32.exe application not found.

Could my computer be infected or did the Firefox installation corrupted my operating system. Is there a way to solve this problem without a clean installation?

Hi friends,

Strange things are happening in my computer. It sometimes restarts automatically. It daily for three to four times presents this message to me

Unknown error

Windows has encountered an unknown error.

The error is unknown because the guy who wrote this part of the code quit a while back and he was like really smart and the rest of us are not really sure how this works or what to do.

BTW, if you are that guy, Please give us a call and let us know what to do.

Good Day

For the past two days, I'm a DC voltage that is given by my operating system.

After the latest windows updates, I am continually receiving some Popups and hollows that are saying,

'You may be a victim of software counterfeiting'. Then say ' this copy of Windows is not genuine. Click this balloon to resolve now '.

Also show an error saying

This copy of Windows is not genuine

Hi everyone,

My computer was hanging at a certain point and became unresponsive. 

I could not restart it because it just was not responding to anything that i did. I therefore turned it off by pressing in the power button.

When i placed it back on, i got an error message saying:

I restarted my computer several times, but each time i still get the same error. 

How can i solve this error without having to reinstall my operating system.

I have lots of valuable information, and I cannot lose.

Thanks!

Please see a picture of this error below.

Hi,

I have a very simple question. I accidentally deleted the recycle bin from my desktop. I have looked for the recycle on my computer, but have not been able to find it.

I would like to know where the recycle bin is located and what the steps are to restore the recycle bin.

I did a system restore on my computer and expected it to restore my recycle bin, but it did not. 

Since that i deleted the recycle bin, will i also loose the information that was in the recycle bin? Or will that information still be available once the recycle bin has been restored to its original location.

I have Windows XP Professional installed on my computer.

Please help.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have a computer on which Windows XP Home Edition was installed. I took my computer to a local hardware and software store and asked them to upgrade my Operating System from Home to Professional.

Lately, I have noticed that when I start up my computer, I get an error saying that; my copy of windows is not genuine. How can this be possible and what exactly do they mean. I called the hardware store and was told that this is not a big issue. I will still be able to work. 

Thanks!

Please see error message below.

This copy of windows is not genuine.

I’ve been suspecting that my registry is corrupt due to the occurrence or error dialog every time I launched an application.

This may be due to some viruses or a malware that causes this kind of error. I have run my antivirus scanner and detect some viruses, and I assume that this is the one that causes the error.

I have installed Tweak UI on my Computer running Windows XP Professional Edition. 

After using the Rebuild Icons feature in Tweak UI the icons become so ugly (such as the 16 color mode).

Take the look of older windows version such as Window 95 or maybe a bit older than this. It turns my icons into a lower resolution maybe Tweak UI made changes to my screen resolution but that would be my assumption.

I capture some of the icons for you to look at.

Here are the ugly icons after using the Rebuild Icons Feature in Tweak UI.
