Icons in Windows XP have been enlarged.

Original title: icons and fonts are jumping around the system of Windows XP

Hi all.  My Windows XP system is dated (acquired in 2002), but is function very well. Problem > I turned on my system and the icons and the pages of site web/internet access are "too large". It seems to be a display setting that I need to check or uncheck it. Does anyone know how to correct this vision problem? Thank you

  • Error message - Windows files have been replaced by unrecognized to start Windows XP, files.

    Original title: unrecognized Windows files at startup.

    I recently installed XP Service Pack 3, which included the so-called "Power Shell". Since when I then boot up, I get a message box that Windows files have been replaced by unknown files. I gives me the opportunity to continue with these files not recognized or not. If I choose "Yes" to continue, the message warns me that continue with those unrecognized files could make Windows unstable. If I choose 'No', I received instruction to insert the correct CD and install the files. Problem is the only drive I have is the Operating System CD that came with my Dell Inspiron 530 s. The message then told me that it's not the correct CD.
    I thought about uninstalling Power Shell, but I get a message that it could lead to things like updates of IE and do not work. What should I do?

    The messge comes up saying that it is not the correct CD as Service Pack of the CD must match with the Service Pack installed on your computer. However, there was a similar question was asked here - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/in-xp-getting-error-files-that-are-required-for/f7433993-e5c2-454c-8f23-ddd7fdb3630b

    Please refer to it. The solution may be the same as far as I KNOW.

  • I think that my system of basic windows files have been changed and currupted can someone please help!

    I get major errors that led me to think my windows files have been modified and currupted I just can't install microsoft updates they download, but I'm unable to install, I'm unable to use the Disk Defragmenter and disk scan as it said my system is already in use. I am also unable to use my acer factory restore settings because it loads but never finishes running can someone please help! I am not in a position to buy or pay for a new cd of windows so that I can make a new clean instalation as I can't afford it can someone please help!

    Download of updates of work but the installation of updates arnt working
    installation of games arnt working cd - I get errors
    disk defragment simply does not work I click top but nothing happnens - perhaps sumthing to do with priviliages admin, but I am the administrator.
    Scan disk does not work as it says system is already used but works if I put it to run at reboot
    MY acer DEFAULT factory restore setting does not work it loads but never short - that led me to believe I have no control over my privliages of basic windows system, but I am the adminsitror.

    I already had major problems when WIndows would break and stops working when you start up, I managed to solve this problem in safe mode and disabling some start up programs to check the malware was eventually attached to my system using windows scanner and malwarebytes defnder, I managed, but it seems that it is undetectable.

    I am unable to afford a new cd for a new clean instalation of windows, I think I need. can someone please

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    It comes to the use of the partition Recovery of Acer to restore factory settings.

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means that all of your files, such as e-mail and photos, will be deleted. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all data before starting the recovery process.

    To start the system recovery:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
    3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
    4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
    5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
    6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
    7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens or the recovery Partition is damaged, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Windows files have been damaged. Do I need a Vista 32 bit repair disc?

    Hello

    Our laptop has recently screwed up by a 'technician' and I managed to get it working again, but it seems that some windows files have been damaged or corrupted.

    I did the sfc/scannow, and he has repaired some but said that some are not repairable and I tried workaround renaming on these files and it did not help.

    In the end, I think that the best option would be to use the 'fix' that I used with previous computers but this laptop had the OS pre-installed.

    I tried to use the option via F8 startup repair and, once again, it seems have suffocating somrthing but yet, there seems to be having trust damaged or missing.

    I looked on the web of th for repair dics and I'm not sure that those that you can download and burn it to a DVD/CD are what I need as they seem to refer to commissioning repair function rather than in "repair mode" full I thought I had used previously.

    Can someone give me advice on how to do it (without return the laptop to factory settings) to try to fix / replace these files corrupt / missing?

    Yes, I'm trying to see if someone has a 32 bit Vista DVD disc and I'll try to use it to get the repair feature, but like I said nobody has this disc I know.

    Will just persevere with the question and if it gets really bad enough to return to the factory settings.

    Hey biggie eddie

    These are the choices

    I hope you can find the correct microsoft vista dvd to repair installation

    good luck with it

  • Windows credentials have been disabled by your system administrator problem

    Windows 7 PC to c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is not accessible.  access is denied.

    checking my account 'owner' has of credentials have been disabled by the windows system administrator.  There is no other account on the PC, except 'owner '.

    I can't make another account apparently because I have no right to system more.

    can someone help me out here?

    Suggestions:

    1. If you go in Safe Mode, will you be able to run a full scan of your account?

    2. in safe mode, find you the admin rights at all?
    If so, do a system restore. Choose a date when you don't have a problem as your restore point.

    3. in safe mode with networking, you have administrator rights to download?
    If so, please download Malwarebytes. It is very good for fishing to the virus. Use it.
    If you are unable to download, you can go to your friend who has a computer, download the Malwarebytes and burn it to a flash drive or a CD, take home and run it on your computer.

  • Delete all the files/folders of old install once the last series on the window updates have been installed?

    I have everything, if records of installation/uninstallation and newspapers since I installed XP.

    I'm sure that the last set of Windows updates work.

    Is there a problem with the removal of old files/flies and connects using CCleaner?

    If not all, can I at least remove those older files that the SP2 install date?

    What problems can I hire after cleaned?

    I guess that the answer to MS Office updates also apply.

    If your PC behaves properly, you can remove the hidden Windows hotfix backup files that start with $NTUninstallKB to the WINDOWS folder. There are two ways to do:

    A. manually, but copy files on a CD/DVD first to enable their restoration has a fix must be removed thereafter. Now delete the folder \WINDOWS, but leaves the orphan entries to add / remove programs intact. Remove only the $NTUninstallKB files that relate to corrections, not those for applications such as Word, WMP, etc.. In addition, DO NOT DELETE THE folder$ $hf_mig.

    B. my preference goes to run a script that also removes the corresponding entries in Add / Remove programs. Once they are deleted by the script, they cannot be restored. Download, extract and run this little scripthttp://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm creating a system restore point first just in case something goes wrong when the update of the register.
