  If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Whenever I have turn off my monitor, and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.

  This issue just started.  Whenever I have turn off my monitor and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.  This happens when my system goes into power saving mode, or whenever I have turn off the monitor.  Even if I turn it back on just 5 seconds later, all of my icons are not where they were previously.  Help!

• Whenever I try to connect to my internet I get 'local internet only' and when I try to repair it it says that there may be a problem with your dns server.

  problem with connecting to the internet

  whenever I try to connect to my internet I get 'local internet only' and when I try to repair it it says that there may be a problem with your dns server, I looked for a solution for centuries now, and no one can seem to help me! Please someone help me?

  Hello

  First off I'm going to assume that when you say "local internet only", you really mean "local only". Also, I'll assume you are using a router for internet connection broadband. If I am wrong, then you will have to describe the answer how you try to connect to the internet more in detail.

  First of all, your router. The indicators show that there is an internet connection? Consult the manual, which probably came on a CD with the router. Internet connection led can resemble a planet with rings or a circle with a lower-case i in the middle of it, or some other symbol. It can also have a caption saying 'internet' or 'connected '. If the router is not connected while your PC will not have access to the internet.

  Click the Start button and type "cmd" then press ENTER. In the window type (mainly black) which results in ipconfig and press to enter. Transcribe the results of the command ipconfig for a response.

  Your (wired or wireless) network card is set to automatically get an ip address? Otherwise, set it to do that and also to get information from DNS server automatically...

  • Right-click on the icon network at the bottom right of your screen, and then click Network and sharing Center
  • In network and sharing Center, click on manage the network connections (on the left)
  • Right click on 'Connect to the Local network' or 'Wireless Network Connection' depending on how you connect to the router
  • Click on select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click the properties button
  • If things are not set to 'automatic', please note all numbers so that you can restore the settings if necessary
  • Make sure that "Obtain an IP address automatically" and 'DNS server automatically get an address' is selected, then click OK
  • Click on close

  If you are using a wireless connection, what happens if you try to connect to your router with an Ethernet cable?

  Please post back with your comments to the above and give more details about your configuration, i.e. router brand and model (or another material of Internet), if you connect wireless or with an Ethernet cable, etc. etc.
