have Windows XP Service Pack 3 / What clogging to the bottom of this screen persists / WDS_SL / does not respond cannot eliminate it / what is it?

I have a Dell Dimension E310 Windows XP Home Edition - Road Runner server.  When I want to close it I get a WDS_SL screen which I can check by

Cancel (do not answer) or by clicking end now, who's going to lose all the data (not responding) what is this & how do I get rid of the program? Help, please

That belongs to Windows Desktop Search.

You can uninstall WDS issue, reboot, and reinstall and that could help, but if I were you I would uninstall and never install it again.

WDS is a famous memory and CPU hog and I'll bet you dollars to Donuts, that your system performance suffers from installed WDS.  If you uninstall WDS, your system will reward you with increased performance.

If you are forced to reinstall WDS, after you uninstall and reboot, you can download WDS 4.0 from here:

You don't describe symptoms suggestive of a need to run the System File Checker.

Suggesting he looks like to say "I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.

I don't see how one of these other Microsoft committed ideas expert technician for technical support will help you either, but you can of course give them a shot - you will get maybe lucky.

  • Error when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

    Windows XP SP3 problem

    Recently, I met a problem with my PC and was forced to use the system recovery. Now I'm back to factory settings and try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my computer. Windows Update won't work for me, that whenever I try to update I get [error number: 0x8024400A]. I think it's because I use Service Pack 2, or that's what I concluded after researching the problem, anyway.

    This is not my real concern, however. Because I could not get the update automatically, I tried to download and install the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers" myself. The first time I did it, I restarted the PC after the installation and was met with "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "  I went into safe mode and went to a just system restore point before SP3 was installed, but now I don't know how to install it correctly without encountering this problem after reboot. I'm hardly the easy just stick with SP2 when there are potentially important available updates. How can I get Windows Service Pack 3 is installed on my PC?

    It's certainly interesting!

    If the cause of your problem is to have a HP PC with an AMD processor and an original image on your hard drive (and of course it sounds like this is the case), the solution should be to rename the file intelppm.sys and launch the sp37394.exe patch. Once done, the SP3 file that you downloaded from here:
    SHOULD work!
    I'm puzzled why there is no intelppm.sys file in your directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.
    Since you recently returned to square one with your PC ("return to factory settings"), then you may as well run the patch from this page:
    and try the SP3 Setup file again.
    But, first, let's be absolutely sure that we are both using the same terminology. Please answer the following questions:
    1. have you safely backed up ALL your data?
    2. what method did you use to ride "back to factory settings? I think that your choices have been a destructive restore (full) and a (partial) non-destructive recovery. The first erases the disk and leave you with a pristine image and NOTHING ELSE (which means that all of your programs and data get deleted). The other (which does not always correctly) is supposed to leave programs and data intact.

  • I have windows xp service pack 3. Driver 4.150.29.0 version broadcom 802.11 wireless lan adapter must be reinstalled.

    XP service Pack3, broadcom 802.11 wireless lan adapt 4.150.29.0 version needs to be reinstalled. The pilot had a mistake and while t/s one of the final solutions to try it was to uninstall the driver, then restart the computer. The pilot never reinstalled, same when I searched the Web for this with the installation wizard. Broadcom program still shows in the uninstall programs, but when I go into the Device Manager it shows device unknown, no driver installed. There is no option to roll back to a previous driver. I tried to do a system restore, and it doesn't work anymore. When I did a scan of the system with detective driver that he showed that no driver has been installed for her, but I do not have the cash flow when paying for this to have the wifi. I searched online and not able to find the driver I need on the Web site of microsoft or broadcoms. Don't know where to go from here, other that a cable ethernet... any help in getting this reinstalled driver would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!     If more details are needed let me know what you need to know.

    Hello

    I guess that you have a laptop, if your copy of Windows was preinstalled on it there is a big chance that the driver is built into your computer. To check, click Start > double click on C: > double-click the files to program files > (locate) double-click the folder of the cabins. From there, you can install your wireless driver.

    However, if the instructions above does not work, then download the driver from the website of the manufacturer of your computer, they should have ALL the drivers for your computer. :-)
