Big problem with Windows XP, IE8

I have a big problem with windows xp. Many things do not work as they had passed him. For example the personal setting are not recalled from session to session. IE 8 does not funtion properly (icons on the desktop are re-arraged, toolbars cannot be deleted or I'm unable to load pages from the internet). Programs do not work, the files will not open. When I look at my hard C disk folders and files are hidden.

Recently, IE has been upgraded to IE8 and I installed Norton 360 but I don't mean that they caused the problem. However, whenever the Norton scan executes a "error 8 506 421" stands up and says me that I have to uninstall and re install Norton.» But I lost the ADMIN privileges so I am not able to uninstall or go back to a restore point.

I can't go in safe mode. Pressing F8 takes me to the quick screen C not the windows safe mode screen. I can't go in safe BOOT mode. INI or the other.

If I switch to another user, everything seems fine but I don't have ADMIN privileges with this user to be able to make changes.

Is this a problem with norton? IE8? A virus?

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Lost without a computer

It sounds like you have a corrupted for your user to administrator user profile.

You may be able to recover using System Restore to restore to a point in time before your problem.  Based on the F8 key, you bring in a command prompt window, try to start restoring the system to the command prompt by using the following procedure:

"How to start the System Restore tool by using the option of safe mode with prompt theCommand in Windows XP"

<>https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304449/en-us >

If this does not work, you can still be able to recover by performing a check disk to your command prompt window operation (after that you press the F8 key).  Enter the following command:

CHKDSK c: /R

If you are in the Recovery Console, it can simply begin, or you may need to restart before it will start.  Corrupt profiles are most often caused by the Corruption of system files, so a chkdsk operation should be performed little matter how you end up recovery.  Note that this can take a few hours to run.

  • BIG problems with Windows Live Mail

    I am running Windows Live Mail on Windows 7 Professional to access my AOL email accounts, which are on a basis of IMAP.  I use a laptop brand new have a 1 TB HDD and 8 GB of RAM, so the size and speed are not a problem.  The first annoying problem I have is that whenever I close by Mail, I get a message saying that it is the purge of records.  Five seconds later, I get an error message from the server is offline, so the work has not ended.  Then, I need to close the windows.

    Secondly, when I reply to messages, sometimes it takes 5 to 10 seconds or more for the wheel stops.  If there is an attachment to the original email, the message that I send doesn't go away, even after they are sent, which makes me wonder if it was sent.  There are also an excessively long time to delete messages.

    I've used several other e-mail programs in recent years, including Outlook Express and have never encountered problems in using the same accounts AOL and format.  Are there changes I need to do, or are these problems known glitches between Windows Live Mail and an AOL IMAP account?

  • problem with windows

    Hi, I just got a phone call, saying that there is a big problem with windows.  I was invited to turn on my computer, but said too busy right now.  They are apparently call later this afternoon.

    Has anyone else had this information or is it a scam

    It's a SCAM.

    Microsoft does not get in touch with you to tell you that you have a problem with Windows.

    Don't give them remote access to your computer, or to follow their instructions and let them know that you contacted the Police.

    See you soon.

  • Problems with Windows Installer after using System Mechanic.

    I had a problem with my Dell 2 years and was told by the Support Dell buy iolo System Mechanic. However, now I have problems with Windows Installer (it is not installed correctly) and I've read that this can be caused by the registry cleaner in the iolo System Mechanic.

  • I don't even know what to call this problem with Windows 7! Can someone please read and help?

    Hi all

    What is c?

    I have half a dozen problems with Windows 7 right now, but let's start with the most irritating.  Screens disappear and reappear.

    I'll open a window and then open another (at the same time) for a reason, and if I don't have my mouse entirely on whatever the window, it "disappears".  That is, it will become transparent with just sort of 'framework' around him.  The content is gone.  But they come back.  It makes the idea behind 'Windows' laughable.

    And try to block and the copy is a nightmare of one window to the other.  Or even on the same page.  I try to block something and move away, and the "block" disappears.

    I thought it might be my mouse, which is your ordinary Microsoft Optical Mouse 2V.0, I went to devices and printers and formatted my mouse (I've never done this before) and my Microsoft Keyboard and recorded.  Nothing wrong with the keyboard.  The mouse just kept screwing as it did before, and I used your basic standard settings - nothing fancy or different.

    Now I write in this little place and nothing is to move, the mouse behaves - what IS IT?

    I am getting this problem in Windows 7 because honestly, I have no idea where else to put it.

    And I have just started with the problems.  Can you please, please, please help?

    I can't help but think that all the problems are related, so I'll put one little summary of what else is happening.

    1 out of nowhere part, I got a notice saying that I had to change the settings to allow Windows update immediately and without my permission (I think that's what he said and I know that there is a setting in devices and printers? or something like that where I allow edits without review)

    2. I can't convince my printer there is NO residential group and that I am the administrator and the only person using the computer.  This screw with my settings (wired) network too.

    3. I have a four-in-one printer (print, copy, scan and fax).  I am at home lately and will be years apparently, so I decided that I wanted to get the printer scanner and fax.  He was already printing and copying.  I turned off, unplugged and did not know that I had to uninstall all software and then reinstall it.  I don't have the time to do it again; I want a clean computer before you set up the printer.  Well, it seems to create small problems in the world.  I keep getting directed to devices and printers, but I want to read all the information before I uninstall just in case.

    4 modules!  They are the bane of my existence.  I do not understand what they are doing when I go and look at them individually. I tried to use IE10 without addons and it's just a big headache.

    5 constantly getting a yellow banner at the bottom of my screen asking me if I want to run * some * and I wanted to know the risks involved.

    6. constantly asked about Active X.  What is it and what does want of me?

    7. all of a sudden an hour ago, my computer has decided to go to "sleep" mode and wants me to change user for myself and when I do, it says it is locked, but I hit the beautiful image and it opens on the regular Windows screen.  WHY?  I don't use a screen saver and I got 20 minutes sleep mode which is just the entire dark screen until I touch the mouse.  No more!

    Guys do you see why I'm going crazy?  Help, please!  I spend all my days this last week and one before that trying to move things.  All this because I wanted my printer to scan.

Could you please confirm if there is a problem and if the contact was authentic.

    Thank you

    You have made the right choice to reject the call. It's a SCAM well known and is FALSE. Microsoft and partners will NEVER user calls unless you ask them to call or to open a support case. On the other hand there is no way for Microsoft to know who has a problem with PC. Take a look at:
