• I have Smart Defragmenter appearing suddenly on my laptop, is it a virus?

  All of a sudden when I put this market he said I have a lot of potential threats and that I should buy the solution for $79.99.  This is the defragmentation and only solve some problems but those remaining seem essential.  I'm tired because I down don't load and he wants my credit card information.

  How can I get rid of it safely?  What I have to buy something.  My current antivirus is through Microsoft Security Essentials.

  When something suddenly appear in the system or the other someone install it or it's threat. Applications of legiminate would ask the user before installing and from what you describe, it is WRONG.

• Help! Computer hangs during attempts to complete or defragmentation (MS) (MSE) virus scan or CHKDSK C: /f

  Help, please!  My computer freezes whenever I try to run a full scan or use the MS defrag it came with.  I have an important job who needs to back up, but I'm afraid that I shouldn't be where it is a virus.  I would really appreciate the help.

  Details:

  Windows XP Home Edition
  Microsoft Windows
  Version 5.1 (... Service Pack 3)

  Current system:
  Microsoft Windows XP
  Home Edition
  Version 2002
  Service Pack 3

  Fujitsu Siemens Computers
  Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 CPU
  T7200 @ 2.00 GB of RAM

  Info of current Disk Defragmenter:
  C: NTFS 112 free capacity space 47 GB space 43%
  (Was only 15% of free space at the beginning of the problems, before I removed or reduced the old files)

  Antivirus:
  Originally from Norton 2006, now uninstalled and replaced with the current Microsoft Security Essentials

  Browser: firefox version 3.5.9 (IE too but do not use)

  The story so far:

  FIRST PROBLEM: ACCIDENTS CAUSING SLEEP/HIBERNATE / SCREENSAVER?
  I am back from vacation and turned on my computer.  Soon, he wanted to upgrade me to the latest Firefox (must have been 3.6?).  He may have also updated my windows automatically.  Then whenever the standby/hibernation/standby screen came (not sure what was the culprit), the computer would crash - I would just get a gray screen when I tried to find by moving the mouse.

  'SOLVED' BY:
  I restored the system to a few points saved from before I agreed to install the new firefox.  I also stopped the computer goes on standby or into hibernation.  I couldn't work on how to disable the screen saver.  Standby/hibernation/standby order screen blocks the computer after that, and I took care not to upgrade to firefox 3.6, once again just in case, stay with the version that I was on, but continued to accept upgrades (now on 3.5.9).  I have always been accepting the automatic updates of windows however, because I was told that I should do.

  UNRESOLVED ISSUE: ANTI-VIRUS AND DEFRAGMENTATION DOWN EACH RUN
  So, I now had a more usable computer.  I tried to check virus, but the virus check (Norton, 2006) would be broken whenever I tried to do a full audit.  I analyzed in the MS Defrag tool that came with my computer and I saw that I had 15% free space, so I tried to Defrag.  Defragmentation has also crushed every time, usually at 3%.

  26 January:
  CRASHED ON THESE FILES:
  -Defrag crashed on A0044502.rbf
  -(J'ai remarqué que le nom était semblable à celle de la vérification de virus s'est écrasée avant)
  -Defrag then crashed over the other in a different file type, but I didn't note it (tmp.edb?)
  -Defrag crashed on C:/System volume information/_RESTO~1/RP320/A0045026.rbf (I think that virus check then crashed on this one too)
  -virus scan crashed on A0045030.rbf

  I ran cmd chkdsk_/f, as told to a friend.  He made 3 times and the screen went too fast to see writes said before he started.

  -defragged once again, it crashed on A0045107.rbf

  CLEANUP TO FREE UP SPACE FOR SPRING:
  I then had the end of emergency work, so did not have to try to solve this problem for weeks.  I just don't have the virus scan and did not try to defragment, therefore had no crashes.  When I had spare time, I went through removing unnecessary programs, deleting unnecessary files of old works and by reducing the great graphics work at smaller sizes.  At the time I had finished my rush job and could return to the problem, I got 43% free space.

  Wednesday, April 8:
  BACK TO ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
  -J' uninstalled Norton 2006 and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it would take viruses.  QuickScan revealed no.  Full analysis has crashed every time unfortunately.
  9 April:
  -CHKDSK C: /f or crashed was working incredibly slow (1/2 hour on the same file) both times I tried to do.  Both times it crashed on 66% to check the data of the file (4 of 5)
  SFC - typed term: the black box will Flash up but then disappears so fast, you can hardly see.  Nothing else happens.  I tried several times.
  -J' restarted the computer in "safe mode with command prompt" and tried SFC/scannow and got the following error:
  "Windows file protection could not initialize a scan of protected system files.
  The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable]. »
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and typed SFC term.  Same thing happened as has happened before in the windows.
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and tried a full analysis of the MSE virus.  After an hour of working, it crashed in this file: C:/System Volume Information/_restore{5C5FC002-5FB5-4560-96DA-E32D8569FB2E}/RP320/A0045038.rbf.  This happened just after I clicked on a tiny with my notes Notepad document, although I don't know if that's what he did or has not already been blocked.  I managed to take a break and he reactivated just before it crashed.  The complete virus check was almost over, guessing 80% to the green bar.
  -J' tried to Defrag in 'safe mode', which soon crushed on C:... A0070595. MSI
  All these accidents April just cause the screen appearing to freeze because the virus check or defrag did not move from the file it says that it was on... then when I would try to stop it, the screen completely freezes so I have to manually shut down.

  Please help me solve this problem!  Should I save my work?  If I back up and there is a virus, then my backup external hard drive could be infected.  But if I do not support, I could lose a lot of work.

  Thank you very much.

  Speedlauncher Adobe is a legitimate program, while orangefirefox.exe presents itself as an infection by the worm on a google search.

  It's a little unusual that Kaspersky would freeze even in SafeMode... perhaps running a chkdsk might help take the files that programs AV and defrag crash on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

  You may disable the system restore: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and this should get rid of all the restore points and then hopefully no longer break when scanning, but make sure you turn it!

  But sometimes I come across systems that had infections as well as at the end of all the damage that has been caused, it is better just to do a reinstall.

• Disk defragmentation repeated after you install a Registry Cleaner program.

  Original title: Disk Defragmenter

  Hello.

  I use Windows XP Prof and IE 8.

  "After" install a Registry Cleaner program, a disk defragmentation task was executed, and he indicated that the volume needs to be defragmented. Subsequently, the task of disk defragmentation was performed again and he said that 'always' volume must be defragmented even if there is nothing to defragment (no red line showing).

  'Before' installing the program Registry Cleaner, disk defragmentation task was performed and she would declare that the volume needs to be defragmented. Subsequently, the task of disk defragmentation was performed again and he said that the volume was already defragmented (no red line showing).

  Why the registry cleaner would lead the program Defragmenter to 'think' that he needs to defragment even after this has been done (and no red line showing)?

  Thanks in advance.

  I will not bore to 'clear all' regularly because I can see the red error icon and the yellow warning icon clearly by scroll.

  Bottom line: Defrag works so I will continue to "analyze" and defragment every day when there are red lines in the graph, but not worthwhile to defragment a second time, unless the red lines still appear.

  Thank you 'a lot' to work on this issue with me - It is much appreciated.

• Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter Hangs

  The DISK CLEANUP and DISK DEFRAGMENTER freezes when it COMPRESS OLD FILES

  Agreed - you must remove the option compress old files:

  Compress old files comes from the good old days, when hard drives were weak and slow, and he had to each byte, you can get on your hard drive for programs and things.  Today, thanks to modern technology, it is almost superfluous.

  If you want your cleaning disc to run faster, I would just remove the option compress old files on XP because it is known to crash or give the illusion of being hanged.  If you have 1 million files on your system, you'll wait a long time and your system may appear to be hung (maybe that's really).

  I really don't think that with the technology available today that compress old files is necessary.  It would have been slow you if XP needs unzip a file.  Besides, nobody seems to be able to tell me at what age an old file is in the XP terminology... what was simply a file become old?  I just remove this 'feature' and never see him again and my disk cleanup runs in a Flash, since it doesn't have to search for old files to compress (some old way).

  It is a 'problem' for some systems that Microsoft made an article on how to disable it (mine is disabled)

• iTunes appears in the taskbar for 5 seconds when starting upwards

  iTunes makes its appearance in the taskbar when starting this past 2 weeks now, also the image of the desktop appears and then disappears leaving a blue screen with icons showing only. Running Windows XP

  Best regards, Michael

  Good day to you Jacques, thank you very much for your help.

  I deleted the old account (corrupt) via the new account, control panel > user accounts is the normal way to delete an account, but maybe not with an account that is damaged? This account has not entirely removed, I guess there's about 34 GB hard disk!

  I was then looking for another way to remove the remains via my computer > properties > Advanced tab > user profiles click settings, this also not failed to remove the remaining files.

  I had a look at your mode of deleting an account; In my version of Windows XP after system tools > there is no local users and groups to see what has been so far I could go. What makes an operating system recovery (reinstall the Windows XP operating system) is called for as the only way forward, this issue goes into a new question/answer see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system/error-signature-bccode-1000008e-bcp-c0000005-bcp2/2ce5c688-927f-4c00-be83-562ad75e6b82

  The answer

  I was slow to identify this problem; the installation was corrupted. The iTunes updated in November and it was when he started and created a big problem. I realize now more important to uninstall iTunes and QuickTime as soon as it is noticed.

  iTunes gives assistance with uninstalling, they fail will add or remove to remove, this is the link of web http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925#1 you will probably need help deleting the non movable files use the following links.

  The first http://www.ehow.com/how_8526319_delete-locked-dll.html site that led you to the second site http://www.gibinsoft.net/gipoutils/fileutil/index.htm that you need to leave this window open until the installation is complete, then it works fine.

  Use GiPo@MoveOnBoot to plan a DLL file for the next time that you start your computer to ensure that the software deletes the file before deleting. The GiPo@MoveOnBoot utility is included in the defined GiPo@FileUtilities that allows you advanced operations of the system, such as installation disc and read the error checking.

  Set a system restore point and use the registry cleaner to remove iTunes and quick time etc. Leverage research as well find and remove these obsolete entries, make sure you delete the entries for other programs and My Documents or Favorites can use the tools new in C Cleaner registry cleaner will allow you to remove the entry from QuickTime remaining via Add / Remove.

  When you are done I suggest run Disk Cleanup, and then Disk Defragmenter open via accessories command prompt and enter sfc /scanonce press the Enter key, it should say that after the next startup it will start checking files.
  It scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with versions appropriate Microsoft see the following link;

  http://www.TomsHardware.co.UK/Forum/59402-35-scannow%20

  You may need to verify these points by searching on the web to confirm these actions. I'm still not aware how know when reinstall iTunes installation is good, so for now I have not reinstalled it.

• Disk Defragmenter error - CHKDSK /F tried many fixes listed in this site & they do not work - please help! Windows XP

  I have the problem of error Disk Defrag as described in many articles on this site and I tried to use your method of repair twice, both times which could not solve the problem.

  I have a "dirty Bit", as shown in the second line, but your other directions does not solve the problem.  Please note that after your direction to type chkdsk c: /f /r ask Y / N question which you note in your direction.  the system won't let you leave without answering the question. I tried both Y & N responses and both failed to solve the problem.

  My problem started with me updating my Itunes program.  I tried to do the update, but for one reason or another that the update would not take, I took all the update prgrams (new) is installed.  That's when all my problems.

  I lost half of my available disk space on my c: drive even if I removed the additional programs, and more I can't defragment my c: drive as I continue to get the chkdsk /f error code.

  I'm running an old Sony Vaio PC with 60 GB of available disk space. Windows XP.

  Any other suggestions?  I searched around on google and there are all kinds of software "for sale" and repairs that do not also work that supposedely will solve the problem.  I don't want to lose money on something that should be an easy fix.

  Help, please!

  We'll walk though...

  You cannot run the defragmentation on a volume where the dirty bit is set - you must clear the dirty (somehow) bit first before running chkdsk.

  Checking the sale but with fsutil is a good idea and you said that your disk is dirty.

  He probably got the dough to a power interruption (in general), aborted restart or an abnormal termination.  None of this happen or familiar?

  When XP starts, it checks to see if any volume is dirty and if any volume is dirty, XP automatically start chkdsk on it because she would like to fix it for you.

  The only thing that can clear the dirty bit is a successful execution of chkdsk/r.

  The following idea:

  chkntfs /x c:

  That puts a bit in the registry that tell XP to not even check the volume dirty bit... never, so if the disc is dirty, the auto chkdsk will not work on the disk since you already told him not to do so and it remains dirty.  Maybe this isn't a good idea unless you plan to undo it someday.  This part seems to be absent from these instructions (how to cancel it).

  If I were you, I would that result than now because it it really in your best interest to leave XP check the volume and try to fix it if the bit of impurity if she set, right?  Why do you want to tell XP not to check your volumes when they could really need to check?

  To cancel this order, enter the following command:

  chkntfs /d (you don't have so specifies a volume).  That sets everything back to the 'normal' and also removes all pending the command chkdsk, you may have said YES to previously.

  Now your volume is still dirty (you can check it again).

  If your chkdsk to run at reboot and it's not clearing the dirty bit, you can see in the Event Viewer Application log to see what happened:

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart, the results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.  You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems. If it looks like nothing, look at the report in the event log Viewer Application.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Look in the Application log for a Winlogon event, something as a source (yours may be different):

  Event source: Winlogon

  Please wait while your computer restarts.

  Sometimes it seems that even if XP running chkdsk for you, the dirty bit still is not cleared for any reason, then simply start it yourself from the XP Recovery Console.

  What I do in cases like yours to run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console you can actually see what happens and watch him run (waiting).   When it's done, you can't question the impurity of the RC bit, but you can run chkdsk/r again until he come clean, and if he can, it clears the dirty bit too.  It does not hurt anything either to run chkdsk/r, even when there is no 'need' to be executed.

  You can get in the RC since an authentic Windows XP installation CD, or you can make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console if you don't know what kind of CD, you have (no XP media required).

  I'd just a console RC bootable CD, so there is no doubt about what you have for a bootable media.  You can always use it again another day (it might be quite useful).

  Here's how:

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

• I am unable to run Disk Defragmenter.

  When I try to defragment I get an error message that says: "cannot run because Disk Defragmenter scheduled Chkdsk /f..  If please run Chkdsk and try again. "I tried to run Chkdsk, nothing helps.  Can anyone help?

  It's a shame that we don't know anything about your system, or you would be probably done now (it's not your fault), so the first response to a new problem is a bunch of questions.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  What usually ends up happening, is that you will need run your chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.  That's the short answer.

  If you do not have a bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can boot into the Recovery Console, you can create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there (no media XP required).

  On your question (simple copy/paste for me and a lot to read, but you will understand things when you're done and prevents you from losing time trying ideas that will not work):

  When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
   
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

  Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

  Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

  A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

  If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

  The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

  You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

  Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

  If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

  If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

  Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

  You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

  This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk
  .
  These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  Cannot lock the current drive.

  Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.  You want to schedule this volume to be
  check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  Is there a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

  When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

  You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Checking file system on C:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.

  A disk check has been programmed.

  Windows will now check the disk.
  39070048 KB total disk space.
  25151976 KB in 78653 files.
  48256 KB in 10264 index.
  0 KB in bad sectors.
  237080 KB in use by the system.
  65536 KB occupied by the log file.
  13632736 KB available on disk.

  Windows has finished checking your disk.

  If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

  If you need help interpreting your event, post it here for analysis.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

  If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

  If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

  Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?

• My disk defragmentation will not start or analyze. What I would do.

  When I press start it will be bot do anything. I tried to go to the drfr.inf press on install that nothing the DCOM thingy is in automatic mode. What should I do?

  Hello

  · Were you able to perform before defragmentation?

  · Do you remember all the recent changes on the computer before the show?

  · What is the service pack installed?

  Check is it y of error codes and error message appears in Event Viewer: how to view and manage the event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427

  Run chkdsk on the drive, and then perform a disk defragmentation. Link, you can refer to the procedure: how to perform disk error checking in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

• I get an error message whenever I try to run Disk Defragmenter

  original title: I get an error message whenever I try to run the Defragmenter of disck

  It says disck Defragmenter is already programmed to run on volume C please run Chdsk/F I checcked my schedule the task and it does not appear as being planned how to fix this?

  Disk Defragmenter may not work on a drive when it detects errors on the disk.  If you need check your drive for errors.  This is usually by running "chkdsk" even if a disk check can be scheduled graphically as well.  Because the disk check must be performed when nothing else is using the drive, reboot and chkdsk runs before Windows loads on this disc.  For more information:

• I ran Trend Micro Internet Security Pro when a mistake also appeared as the "Visual C++ Runtime Library" what does that mean?

  Original title: problem of the Visual C++ Runtime library

  I ran Trend Micro Internet Security Pro when a mistake also appeared as the "Visual C++ Runtime Library" what does that mean?  I called Trend Micro, they said it was a mistake by Microsoft and get in touch with them. Microsoft seems to think that it is a problem of Trend Micro... Someone knows who has problem, is it?  How can I get rid of this thing of C++.  I have Windows XP thanks

  Hello

  The message appear when you run Trend Micro Internet Security Pro?

  I suggest that you follow these methods and see if they help.

  Method 1:

  Step 1:

  This could be the result of a virus. I wish you put your computer into safe mode and run a scan and check if that helps.

  Step 2:

  In normal mode, Uninstall and reinstall software Trend Micro Internet Security and check if the problem persists.
  
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable/uninstall your antivirus software. If you must temporarily uninstall to solve a problem, you must reinstall as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is uninstalled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Step 3:

  Perform disk defragmentation and check if the problem persists.
