Log in Windows XP problem - unable to access normal range of 'My Documents'
Hi, I have an old Dell from 6 year with Windows XP. When I turned it on today and logged on to the main user account, everything was different in that the desktop screen saver is the default and all the documents that I store under 'My documents' have disappeared, including my itunes. Is it possible that I can get this information again? Thank you
Simon
You have the classic symptoms of a corrupted profile. It is not too difficult to recover. Follow the instructions here:
"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >
Usually, a corrupt profile is accompanied by too many damaged disk sectors. After recovering, perform a check disk with the /f or/r option

Windows Firewall problem - unable to start service. [FIXED]
THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED! Thank you! SEE MY LAST POST FOR MORE DETAILS.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for a while and we had no problems with the software.
I tried to start the Windows Firewall service for the last couple days. After some research (with no response), I tried several steps.
Evertime I try to turn on the Windows Firewall through Control Panel, I get this error:
"Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings.
0x8007042c error code. »
First, I checked the Services. This is what I found.
-Windows Firewall (automatic)
-Engine of Filtring basis (Auto)
-Windows Firewall authorization driver (missing)Then I tried sfc/scannow in a prompt (run as administrator). This was the result.
"Start system analysis. This process will take time.
Start of the phase of verification of the scanning system.
Full check of 100%.Windows resource protection found no violation of integrity. »
Then, I went in the management of the computer and found that Windows Firewall authorization driver has a yellow top brand scream icon. Right click and clicking on properties gave this:
Under the general tab:
Device type: drivers Non Plug-and-Play
Manufacturer: unknown
Loactaion: unknown
Status of the device: this device is not present, is not working properly or is not all its drivers installed. (Code 24)
Driver tab:

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\mpsdrv.sys
Provider of: microsoft Corporation
File version: 6.1.7600.16358 (win7_rtm.090713 - 1255)
This error appears whenever I try to start the Windows Firewall authorization diver:
"The system has encountered the following error trying to start the service.
Cannot create a file when that file already exists. »
Then I tried these commands in the same command prompt, with the results listed after each command:
netsh advfirewall reset
Unable to load the programme of assistance following DLL: WSHELPER. DLL.
An error occurred while trying to contact the Windows Firewall service. Make sure that the service is running, then try your request again.

I also tried "regsvr32 wshelper.dll" and got the following error message:
The "wshelper.dll" failed to load module.

I have found wshelper.dll in C:\Windows\System32 (20KO) and folders C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (15KO), as mpsdrv.sys in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers (75.5 KB).
It is all the information that I recall gathering at this time.
If a similar problem like this has been asked and answered, please point me in the right direction.
-Thank you.
Thank you all, but I got it working again. It seems to be related to the Google redirect virus. I downloaded ComboFix and it got rid of the problem.

Unable to access Windows Update page
I am running XP Service Pack 3 and were unable to access the Windows Update page for a few weeks now. I get an error message saying that "Internet Explorer can not locate the page". I tried several routes to access the update page, but they all fail. Analysis of virus and malware picked up nothing. I am running Internet Explorer Ver 8.
It turns out that the problem was software malicious. After the last post, more I tried to do at least I could do: Internet Explporer wouldn't start again, I could not copy files from one drive to the other and my backup software has been disabled. I have reinstalled Windows to solve problems. Scans of my files from backup using Quick Heal has revealed the presence of Trojan.Gen, who may have let in some other bad guys. I can now access the update site.

The message I get when trying to connect is simply that I cannot connect you at this time and that I should follow a link to reset the password - what I've done without result. The computer is connected to the internet.

Hello! I found a problem with my system: when a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet, until restarted network card. Reinstall NIC driver did not help. Problem appears on a built-in adapter, in the motherboard and a separate PCI card too. Same router via its web interface is not accessible. Windows cannot automatically fix this problem after trying to diagnose a problem with his problem Diagnostic tool. After the diagnosis in the DETAILS window, MORE tests, it displays a message like this "computer remote can not receive a connection via the Internet (HTTP) Service Port". "Unplugging" a corresponding Local network connection and then reconnect solves the problem immediately. Switching between users, when two of them are connected do not cause this problem. Important: the problem occurs in the account of the user who was logged on the system FIRST after the PC was on, when the user disconnected on newspapers of a SECOND. If the SECOND user is logged in and the FIRST user disconnects, SECOND can still access the internet. It depends only on the sequence of the user's record, not on the particular user name. And one more interesting fact: after each user registered on and outside just for once, the problem seems to disappear until the PC is turned off and turn it back on!
System details:
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-VLK
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 K
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 7 x 64Hi, Mahesh,
and thank you very much for your help! Update firmware driver and router LAN did not help me get rid of my problem, but greatly improved my experience of networking in general. Anti-virus software was not guilty, also, but! I found the "iControl" network software, installed as part of Sogiciel 'AI Suite II' (that came on the CD of motherboard ASUS driverssoftware), runnning and causing not only the problem mentioned above, but would also decrease upload speed up to 0.3 MB/s, when download passes to nearly 100 Mbps! Moreover, searching the Internet, I have found a lot of complaints about the behavior of this software, so that people watch you the occasional installation of this piece... sweet ;) As "iControl network" has been uninstalled (not only turned off in the settings of 'Ai Suite II'!), I'm totally happy with my system performance.
Best regards
