DELL Dimension 8400. HD not found when trying to install XP

Have a dell dimension which has had a bad run for a virus, and a large number of spyware, needless to say that his does not work very well. Have tried to use the dell support to reset the settings by default, but when you try to open any application, you get the box that asks what you want to open with so that you can not run any other programs on the computer. I tried the safe mode... etc. Tried to boot from a windows XP CD go through all the stuff material then when inviting you to install, repair or out after install it say there is no hard drive found. I know that there is not a problem with the cause of HD, I can then release the CD and start back to windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Error: ' ATL. DLL was not found"when trying to run any application.

    Original title: ATL. DLL was not found.

    I can't run applications in my pc someone in my house could not get into the computer and changed operating system to windows xp, which allows to be decommissioning of this t. Now, I get this message when I try to run an application: the application failed, because ATL DLL is not found, re - install the applicationmight solve the problem, but I get this message after you have re-installed and I don't know what else to do. Slow computer charges and freezing, something he has never done before. Same IE you have a problem, the only thing that works well, it is the remote assistant who helped me to get here and to him intermet, actually all of this with the dll thing started after I deleted the firefox browser because it froze the computer. Unable to restore my recovery utility, I tried a TI ran and told me it is impossible to get it back before I uninstalled firefox.

    Unfortunately, the support engineer technical 'expert' who is hired by the tips from Microsoft to run sfc/scannow will not help you.

    I would say that, as usual, the technical support engineer has not bothered to reproduce the problem and tried their own suggestion.

    If the atl.dll file is missing, sfc/scannow will launch but it does not work.

    It's just another wild goose chaseSupport Engineer.

    A lot of things will not work if the atl.dll file are missing.  System Restore will not work, Event Viewer do not work, you will not be able to get on the Internet, etc., until the file has been replaced.

    You try to run the system restore, you see the following message is displayed:

    Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate component
    The application has failed to start because ATL DLL not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Try to open the event viewer, you see a message like this:

    MMC could not create the snap.
    MMC could not create the snap.  The snap-in may not be installed correctly.

    Name: Event Viewer
    CLSID: {975797FC-4E2A-11D0-B702-00C04FD8DBF7}

    Running sfc/scannow will be launched, but it will not run if the ATL DLL file is missing and you will see events like this in the event log (when you arrive, it works again):

    The server {8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820} is not registered with DCOM within the required time.

    You can't get on the Internet using any browser.

    You have to somehow replace the missing or damaged file.

    The file might really be missing if he has been quarantined (actually deleted) by your antivirus not specified.  If the file is simply missing, you can just replace it and then later determine what happened to the file and decide what to do about this.

    You can search Windows on your system for ATL DLL and replace the missing file.

    THE ATL. DLL file must be in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Check and see if you can find the ATL DLL file in this folder, or if he's really missing, you will need to replace it:

    Depending on what applications you have installed, when you search for your ATL DLL system, you can find ATL DLL in several places on your system.  You must be sure get you the correct that belongs in c:\windows\system32.

    The most likely place to find a good copy of Atlant. DLL will be in one of these folders:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
    c:\windows\system32\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Locate a copy of the correct Atlant. DLL from the file in one of these folders and copy/paste in the folder c:\windows\system32.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    There is a copy of the file on my SkyDrive, you can download a system not affiliated and then copy the file to a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and apply it on the afflicted system c:\windows\system32 folder.  Here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called atl when the name of the file should really be called atl.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  • no pilot of the aircraft were found when trying to install windows 7 on a new construction

    It is a new construction: card mother Asus M4A87TD/USB3, Phenom X 4 965 processor he's, with 1 64 GB Soild State drive which is where Windows 7 Pro must be installed, Raid 2 500 GB SATA hard drives that I use, total 8 GB memory Dual Channel DDR-1600 and an ATI Radeon HD5830 1024 GDDR5 video card.

    I am now trying to install windows and I get an error message saying that no device drivers found when you try to install windows 7 pro, so I tried to put in the disc that came with the motherboard because that's what I found during my research on this subject and it won't read the disc. I also learned that I should use a USB however, I don't have a large enough to copy documents from the disk device drivers.

    Any input would be appreciated because I was a machine now for a week only to find what I wanted and then in construction and now this problem - please help

    Suggest you only begin by installing a configuration non-RAID first. Also since this is a new construction, you need to do some test equipment to verify that you don't have a hardware problem. Connect a SATA drive to a standard SATA connector rather than the RAID connector.

    Set of utilities to test for computer HARDWARE manufacturers:

    Note: If you are OverClocking or use any automatic overclocking BIOS features, Intel EIST or Turbo Mode (turn off).
    then back at the speed of stock as a starting point.

    Disconnect the other internal hard drives and external USB devices.

    First try running Memtest86 +:  It runs from a floppy disk or CD, you must remove or
    confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  • Search page does not. When I click on the blue writing take research, it says server not found after trying to connect.

    I am running XP using firefox (SERVER NOT FOUND) also tried IE (PAGE NOT FOUND or some THING LIKE THAT SAME PROBLEM AS FF WORDED DIFFERENTLY) only the address bar will allow me to do the research. When I click on the blue writing on page research he always says server not found. Need to copy and paste website address or manually type in the bar. System Restore said I need to contact my domain administrator to access, what's new. Also even when you use the firefox address bar began to plant on a regular basis. Clean the cookies and cache without change. Tried a few other things start and run reset win socks or something don't me remember now has failed. Also a CBC site I just think appeared at a closed point, but he continued to hear that it works with no visual representation on screen had to reload. Tried changing to IE and changed to yahoo from google without change. This server not found - cannot find 1clicksearch.p.info or something. Check the line workoff checkbox is not a factor. Any help would be appreciated. Also, using service pack 3. I also tried an older version of firefox before IE, I noticed also wasn't yet cleared all the info like bookmarks which would focus on the old version. Not looked at proxy made no difference to no automatic option tried proxy. I did a lot of research using the address bar and search pages site address I found similar problems on son but not what I treat exactly. Also when I type in the box on the google page often the google search button and the button enter won't take me to the search page and I have to use a top bar or hit, I feel lucky. This last problem, according to me has been on for a while, but not much more than a problem.

  • Install Win XP 64-bit on Dell Dimension 8400

    Hi all

    I want to install Windows XP Professional 64-bit on Dell Dimension 8400 (64 bit PC). But I don't know what "SATA Operation" mode to choose. However, when I tried with "RAID Autodetect / AHCI", "RAID Autodetect / ATA ' or 'RAID ON', I could not install because there was an error message saying that the hard drive not found: (.) But I know that the hard drive works fine. I note that there is another option "combination".

    1. can you please anyone suggest me the correct installation with the correct Sata Mode? Please note that I basically need to install Windows XP Professional 64-bit only, and I don't have a floppy as well.

    2. in addition, I don't have a company CD for drivers or operating system. I can upload them in the DELL site with serial number of the PC. But I noticed that there are many readers for the same category, for example: 12 drivers for the video. How to select the corresponding drivers exactly between all for this particular PC?

    Although I noticed similar/alternative problems addressed in this forum, but I could not find an adequate solution to these answers.

    Thank you!!!

    Frey

    Since the drive was part of the front table, it can automatically start (should be able to confirm to CTRL-I), but if not, then you need to start manually (made in CTRL-I, or even the operating system management utility).

    You can also get another cable... they are usually no more than $2-3 to any computer parts store.

    I have a NetGear Wireless - N Dual Band, but dell WNDA3100 USB won't pick it up. The flash player is on, but it will not install the new software. It is said there was a problem and it probably won't work correctly.

    Hello

    Anyone had any experience with installing Windows 7 in an older Dell Dimension 8400 with 2 GB of Ram?

    Will it work?

    Thanx

    Mike

    Not on an 8400, but on a XPS G4 with 3 GB of RAM - which is just an amateur version of the 8400 from the XPS gaming PC line.  Windows 7 installed with no driver needed and worked like a dream for almost a year now.  The only thing is the game on the Z port Audigy sound card is not supported by Windows 7 (but the sound itself card works fine), was not a big problem for me.  Since W7 will eat a Go just to stay alive, 2 GB may be enough if you don't do any substance really hungry as core memory hard games, video editing, modeling, etc.  My kids play Age of Mythology all the time and my wife is a photographer - she is its main user, and rarely it strikes a wall at 3 GB.
