Computer Troubleshooting And Repair

[wizard23]

the first two programs are needed by MS . NET. If you are not a developer, you can have these removed.

TablePCRT - is a software informer (i dont know what this does), by 3M. Probably you are not using it too. You may remove it.

 

 

 

 

you dont disable it, you remove it.

use an adware/spyware/malware removal tool.

 

just saw this now. 2 days ako walang internet connection. thanks a lot Google! :thumbsupsmiley:

[asagi]

no need to re-format your HD or re-install XP, just do this

 

if you have a Jack Sparrow Windows XP, do this

 

1. Click START then RUN and type regedit

 

2 Registry window will be opened

 

Then Go to

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\OOBETimer

 

…and double click on it. Then change some of the value, edit it or just add any numbers and letters

 

now close out regedit.

 

3) Go to start > run > %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

 

4) the activation screen will come up,

 

click on register over telephone, then click on CHANGE PRODUCT KEY

 

enter in this key:

JG28K-H9Q7X-BH6W4-3PDCQ-6XBFJ

 

Click UPDATE PRODUCT KEY

 

Restart your PC

 

Congratulations! You are now using a Validated copy of Windows XP

 

this may be a stupid question, but, what is a Jack Sparrow XP? does this mean a pirated copy?

[japlog]

Am using Windows XP SP2...

 

1). My PC wud not boot up so when I restarted it there was this window that allows you to choose whether to boot it normally or in safe mode. I chose normal boot up, the windows logo came out but after that the screen went blank.

 

2). I restarted the PC again and since the windows was abruptly ended, the same window came out asking me to select if I will boot in safe mode. This time I chose safe mode. Boot up was successful but in safe mode.

 

3). However, when I tried to restart the PC again, this time the windows logo came out but after that the screen went black again.

 

Question : What could be wrong with my PC? Probably hardware problem but no idea where to look at. Hope someone can help me

 

TIA

Dude, your startup could be overcrowded or it could be a virus.

 

Try Booting up in safe mode then run the "msconfig".

 

Un-check all programs in the startup which isn't really needed.

[howard_the_duck]

Is this for MS Office 2k3? afaik, you can get it from your installer CD.

yep. but i don't possess the installer CD

[brutus]

this may be a stupid question, but, what is a Jack Sparrow XP? does this mean a pirated copy?

 

Jack Sparrow is a Pirate

 

hence, Jack Sparrow XP is a Pirated Copy

 

hehehehehe

 

my Jack Sparrow XP with the Genuine Software Stamp

 

just look at my hardware

 

XP is working perfectly OK with that set up

Agree ako dyan. Lalu na nowadays bagsak presyo na mga External HDD. Just recently bought a 500GB Maxtor OneTouch 4. siguro sa current peso-dollar exchange rate more or less PHP3,000 lang sya.

Microsoft releases emergency patch for IE

 

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - - Microsoft on Wednesday released an emergency patch to fix a perilous software flaw allowing hackers to hijack Internet Explorer browsers and take over computers.

The US software giant said security update MS08-078 addresses a vulnerability cyber-criminals can exploit to their advantage.

 

"Microsoft encourages all IE customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible," said Microsoft security response communications head Christopher Budd.

 

The threat led Microsoft to mobilize security engineering teams worldwide to deliver a software cure "in the unprecedented time of eight days."

 

According to researchers at software security firm Trend Micro, attacks based on the vulnerability in the world's most popular Web browser were spreading "like wildfire" with millions of computers already compromised.

 

Microsoft typically releases patches for its software on the second Tuesday of each month and rushing this fix to computer users out-of-cycle is testimony to the severe danger of the threat, according to Trend Micro.

 

"People should run, not walk, to get it installed," said Trend Micro advanced threat researcher Paul Ferguson. "This vulnerability is being actively exploited by cyber-criminals and getting worse every day."

 

The IE software patch will be automatically applied to hundreds of millions of personal computers due to standard update settings in the machines, according to Microsoft Security Response Alliance director Mike Reavey.

 

Wednesday morning, business networks using IE began getting the critical fix through routine patching processes.

 

Reavey said Microsoft went into "emergency response" mode on December 9 after it first learned of the attacks on IE browsers.

 

A day later, Microsoft published a security advisory that "listed workarounds that blocked all known attacks."

 

"Over the course of the next eight days, this advisory was updated five times, adding newer workarounds and mitigations," Reavey said. "We also continually monitored the threat environment, noting when the attacks began to change in nature and scope."

 

Trend Micro has identified about 10,000 websites that have been infected with malicious software that can be surreptitiously slipped into visitors' unprotected IE browsers to take advantage of the flaw.

 

A major Internet portal in Taiwan is among the legitimate websites unknowingly tainted with malicious software aimed at IE's weak spot, according to Ferguson.

 

Hackers can take control of infected computers, steal data, redirect browsers to dubious websites, and use machines for devious activities such as attacks on other networks, according to security specialists.

 

"What makes this so insidious is it takes advantage of a big gaping hole of IE, which has the largest install base of any browser on the market," Ferguson said.

 

IE is used on nearly three-quarters of the world's computers, according to industry statistics from November.

 

Reavey said the patch consists of more than 300 distinct updates for more than half-a-dozen versions of IE in scores of languages.

 

Analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley said it was "amazing" that Microsoft was able to turn out a complex critical fix in a week when such jobs typically can take a month or longer of intense work.

 

"Even with that, the release Emergency Response process isn't over," Reavey said. "There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts."

 

Trend Micro urges IE users to heed precautionary advice from Microsoft, or avoid using the browsers, until the patches are applied.

 

The "exploit" is similar to one used recently to steal user names, passwords and other information from people playing online games in China, according to Trend Micro.

I believe there is a start-up background process that triggers a restart. Have you tried restarting Windows in safe mode?
