How to fix a computer that is stack up? My friend has a problem to her computer. She told me that when she open her computer and gets into the desktop it suddenly stops and she moved her mouse but nothing happen. The mouse stop too. She restart her computer to fix the problem but unfortunately it stops again.

So she called me up for a help and told her the same thing that she did, that's the only way I know. She asked me why her computer stack up or stops whenever she open it. What is the problem of her computer?

I recently installed windows vista on my laptop and used it for 2-3 months.

Now after experiencing a lot of bugs in the windows vista I want to install my old XP back but the problem is that I can’t.

When I insert my XP CD and try to install it the system says you already have the latest version installed. My friend told me to format my pc and then install it but that means re installing all my required software and also taking a huge back up.

Is there any easy way to get my XP back without formatting my computer.

I am trying to repair my computer using my Windows XP installation disk but the windows installation cannot be detected so I cannot repair my system. This is the message I get upon starting my system:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing 

or corrupt

Please re-install a copy of the above file.

Hey guys,

I'm using Windows XP SP3 for about 2 years, then some of my friends used Windows 7. Now, I'm just curious if it's possible to have two operating systems to my computer at the same time. Do you think installing Windows 7 won't affect my old Operating system (Windows XP)? And also can anyone tell me how to install another operating system without losing my old files? Is there an advantage having two operating system? I'm Hoping to hear from your suggestion guys, so if ever possible I can start trying to install the Windows 7 immediately. Thanks much!!

My Laptop speakers are on strike because I don’t hear any sound from them when I play the music. Even when I play a video I can’t hear anything. I checked the volume settings. It’s correct. I also checked whether it’s got muted; it is not. So what should I do to fix this problem? Answer please.

Hey everyone!

I found this phrase in the computer when I finished reformatting. "Replace boot.ini file". The computer can't load the OS because after the beep sound, it automatically restart? What is this mean? And I am very worried this time because this is not my computer I only borrowed this one. How can I fix this problem? I don't know the techniques and idea about boot.ini file. I need help please I don't know how to fix this one! Please post your answer right away I will be waiting for your answers! More options and solutions be posted the better.

Thank You.

I am having a very annoying problem. Some programs i have installed in my PC comes at the startup. Every time i open the PC and those comes and some times those makes the PC slow due to their starting.

My PC need more time to start due to those unwanted programs though they are important but at the starting they are not wanted.

I am using Windows XP professional service Pack 2, and now my question is that what is the way to stop them from coming at the start?

I mean how can i remove those programs from my startup?

A detail answer may be helpful to me as i have not enough knowledge of different tabs and tools.

So please describe the process step by step. So i can understand and follow your instructions.

My computer will not start. It shows the XP logo but then startup is canceled, I get the choice of safe mode, last known good configuration and start windows normally but none work. I have been told it's a hardware problem and I should delete the new hardware from my computer to fix my initial problem. I test hardware to install another computer and no problem there. I try to repair windows by chkdsk command but problem is same. Occasionally my computer run and I can work but most of the times it’s occurring this problem how can I solve this?

Many of my games require the CD or DVD to be inserted before launching the game. For some reason, my computer will not read the autorun.inf files and launch the auto play menu upon inserting the disk in either drive. But others software which have autoran.inf is run properly.
