Hi KAD Rebar,.

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?
  3. Are you having similar problem with all the files you are trying to move or remove it from the computer?
  4. You have security software installed on the computer?

Method 1

See the link below and run the Fixit tool available, check if it helps.

Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

 

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Right-click on the device with the triangle, select Properties, go to the Hardware tab, select the device with a triangle next to it, select Properties again and select Update driver.

    This should solve the problem, if Windows Update can't find a driver for you, you can always go to the manufacturers website and download it there, however, if the Windows Update does not find it there ' has a chance to the manufacturers Web site may not it as well, in this case, you can open Device Manager right-click the missing material or using outdated drivers, select Properties, go to the Details tab and in the hardware id select menu drop-down property search with id, you receive information about the device and so download the drivers the most up-to-date and appropriate from other reliable sources.

  • Can I delete the old name of properties?

    In Adobe Captivate 8, I created a group. Then I went to properties and baptized. I made a change to the Group and thought that I deleted the old name of properties. However, when I try to give the same name to Captivate 8 properties says I can't. Where can I delete the old name of properties?

    Thank you

    I'm sorry, that Captivate memory can be very stubborn. For most of the names, even if the object with the name has been deleted, you can not reuse them. They are stored in memory "file."

    There are a few exceptions (such as shared action names), but groups is no exception. My solution: change one of the characters of a capital, or insert underscore. Almost the same name.

  • unsolicited to pop up "Windows cannot find ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search»»

    Nearly a week there is a window began to appear during the first load of my computer. It's a black rectangular window marked taskeng.exe, but there is nothing in it. Almost immediately after that, a prompt appears that says "Windows cannot find ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe".» Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. ' It opens at the beginning, until I typed or even clicked on anything yet.  When I click 'OK', it closes and my computer works normally, a little more slowly than usual. It does not appear to be a problem, but I don't know there could still be something wrong that I can't see or know something about.

    I watched taskeng.exe and I understand that it is a task manager, but that it could be related to malware or a virus when it ceases to appear. I did a full scan of the disk C with Malwarebytes and, thankfully, he said I have no malware to remove. I do not understand why he started coming. I did a system restore, but nothing has changed.

    Can someone help me understand what it is and how to stop it without risk to occur?

    Thank you, Kateri

    What has happened is that your software antivirus or antimalware software correctly identified as a spam and removed program client.exe.  In this case, however, there often remains of the malware left behind this attempt to leave the now-missing executable malware.

    In your case, it seems that there is a scheduled task that tries to launch client.exe.

    • Click the start ORB, type the following command in the start search box and press enter
      Task Scheduler
    • When the Task Scheduler window opens, click on "Task Scheduler (local)" in the left pane
    • Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll down to "active tasks.
    • Use the inner scroll bar to scroll the active task list to find anyone trying to launch Client.exe.  Search for "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions in the"Location"field

    • When you have found the ticket with Extensions of research in the location field, double click it.
    • In the right pane ("shares") find "Delete" at the bottom of the list and click on it.
    • Close Task Scheduler and restart
    • You should not get the popup more

    If this does not work, or if you do not find the right task to remove, download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx -->

    • Run Autoruns and once the analysis is complete, confirm that the "all" tab is selected (it will have to use it) then click file > find and search for client.exe
    • If a line with client.exe is found, make sure the 'Image path' set to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions and then clear the check box at the left end of the line
    • Press F3 to search for other instances of the client.exe (I don't expect there to be no)
    • Autoruns to close and restart
    • You should not get the popup more

    If you've used autoruns, if you are convinced that the problem has been corrected and no problem has been introduced, you can run autoruns and this time 'remove' the line with client.exe inside.

    I suggest also using Windows Explorer to go to C:\Program Files (x 86) and verification of the contents of the file Extensions of research.  If it is empty, delete the entire folder.  If the files remain, are also likely to remnants of malware, but I won't tell you to delete them without knowing what they are.  If there are exe files, use your favorite search engine for names of files of research (or post the list here).

  • Impossible to delete the partitions or format C

    I have a mobile shadow Smart Power (a special Aldi 2004), which comes with no hidden restore disc, but it has a much utility and disk etc. drive OEM drive.  I need to reformat C and reinstall XP Home... nothing seems to work - after surfing several hours for a reply and try to all the ones I found!  I can not get an option to format using disk management, because it is grayed out, and if I use the disc provided as a boot disk, I can't delete the partition as it says that it is in use / mounted.  Can anyone help please... as I suspect that the XP disc resembles C and just by looking at him, he believes that it is in use, so it will not let me delete the partition or format C.  I don't know how to get around this problem with the discs that I have... and experience tells me that shadow are desperate for assistance to the user, so there is probably no point of contact with them.

    All I can understand about shadow is that it was an Austrian company which has since been bought by a Taiwanese company and has almost no information available online support (although there seems to be quite expensive telephone support lines).

    You cannot remove or format the system partition (the one where Windows) of Windows.  This is why there are bootable CD installation/restoration of the system, the idea being that if you run with an operating system on the CD, you can do what you like on the hard drive.

    Your drive "OEM", is supposed to be a system restore disk or just a collection of software and drivers?

    If it is a restore disk, when you start from it, it should just restore the computer to its original state, or at least give you an option to do so.

    Can you describe the screens that appear when you start from your OEM drive?

  • Impossible to delete the ghosts

    "ghost files", it's the best name I can get to those annoying files. I have 720 files, (it was a group of photos before they turned ghost) which cannot be deleted.
    When I deleted the folder, the files in the folder remained, stating that they were always fixed to the deleted folder. The files themselves, 720 all of them are on order, does not open and says that these files were deleted when I try to open them.
    When I try to delete them it does not say that these files do not exist. They are inaccessible in anything other than a search on the whole of the system. They claim to be in a non-existent folder under 'photos '. I do not understand where they are... When I search in 'pictures' alone, they come to the top, but it is only a single folder in 'pictures' and when I scan that they do not appear... So either they float data... or something is wrong... I'm getting a headache, and they are annoying me no end. For some they can be ignored, but I'm afraid, I'm a perfectionist and can't be beat there... any advice would be greatly, greatly appriciated.

    I am considering a system wipe, but it of unfortunately my system of work and has many paid programs assigned to this system alone which i could not with a thorough cleaning. It also has about 15 years of data on patients in it, which would be able to be saved, but that would require little time to transfer this im afraid I simply not.
