Cannot format disc disc HARD NTFS - Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3
Hi, I hope someone can help me to solve this problem, because it drives me crazy. I have Dell Inspiron 4500 which HDD is running out of space. There was also a problem with the disc essentially installed 2 new 1 x 120 GB Maxtor hard drives and 1 x 320 GB Hitachi. I installed Windows XP Home Edition on the Maxtor from scratch and load all the drivers and patches, etc... However whenever I try to put in place the Hitachi under NTFS, it falls on the formatting. If I use third-party tools all right until you try to access it through windows, then I get "cannot access the disk, the files are corrupted or damaged. In windows Disk Manager, you can see the drive, but the file system is empty. I can take out the drive and set up on my other machine without problem. I can set up the correct disk in FAT32? If I then try to CONVERT, switch again.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations. As Kevin has attempted to provide additional assistance, I left for vacation. I came back, I did a scan of Microsoft Essential that determined that my computer is infected with a virus called "Trojan:DOS / Alureon.A.
How do I rid my computer of this Trojan horse and restore my Microsoft updates and restore normal operation of the system?
Thanks, Ben
Run this Alureon is a rootkit . This can restore windowsupdate, once he removes the rootkit

Cannot install game or applications in Windows 7 Home Edition computer.
Original title: Windows Installer problems - Windows 7 Home Edition.
I am running Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit. I tried to install a game last night and at the start of the installer it disappears from the screen and I find myself with an icon in my taskbar tasks that wont open. Sometimes, if I'm lucky and let him go, he will open full screen and allow me to continue with the installation. I thought maybe it was just the game that I was installing. So I tried to install something else non-related and it appears the installer, but the bar never moves. I try to shut it down and he even used close. It will cancel, but even after I cancel, Setup is still used in the process. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a solution to this problem.
I tried unsubscribing msiexec and re-enrollment it and no luck

I have a Dell with Windows XP Home Edition system that uses the internet connection. Friday, he had a problem with images in line being "pixel-ed", which means that the image was blurred and boxes. So I did a restore of the system back as much as she would in July and concluded that the IAF has a program called accelerator that had been implemented to go faster, but eventually would make very good images. Then, I got that part fixed but now a game that I play "Mahjongg" won't play right and when I go to the area "help and support" to try to reschedule, so it don't open even now. Can someone help me please? Thank you
Thanks for the help. I returned and reinstalled everything, even if it was already installed and now everything works.

Start windows XP Home Edition with a RunDLL error
When I boot windows XP Home, after the Welcome screen and the office fills with icons, I have a RunDLL error box that says the right: error loading c:\windows\dlioneg.dll the specified module could not be found. I ran RegistryBooster2010 but it did not help. Any idea. The computer is a small netbook from ASUS.
This file was probably part of a virus or spyware infection that has been partially removed. Run a full scan for virus/spyware. If the problem persists, use the free Windows Sysinternals Autoruns tool to find and remove the reference to the file.
