• After that I did a system restore to get rid of antimalware doctor, I now have no desktop or start menu.

  I did a restore of the ordinary system, and when he returned to reboot, I have no icons the desktop or start menu.  This blank desktop happens in normal startup and in safe mode.  When I try CTRL + ALT + DELETE and then go to run explorer.exe, it does nothing.  When I reboot the computer for about half a second before it closed, I see the desktop icons.  I can't change the users because there is only one, I have not a system restore disk, it's on.  and my registry for explorer.exe looks right to me... anyone know anything else I can try before I take it to a store and pay for a fix?

  Also, I went through the instructions on this post: http://preview.tinyurl.com/answers-microsoft-com

  Thank you!

• Three XP Pro SP3 Desktops that start up on their own after that I have aparently stop them

  Hi all

  I can aparently stop XP Pro SP3 Desktop PC but they start all on their own. The only thing that has changed is that I had to replace my router yesterday as my old one had suddenly stopped working.

  I have three of these Machines XP Pro that all do the same thing!

  Can anyone offer any suggestions to help me find why this would suddenly happen?

  Thank you in anticipation

  Barney

  Hi ElderL,

  Thank you for taking the time to read my request for help and advice as well as for your answer which was more useful.

  The problem has been resolved. Basically, I tried what you said, a local network of disconnected machines cable and that it does not then restart on its own.

  Rather than deepen each machine BIOS I asked the router manufacturer if they could offer no explanation.

  NETGEAR responded and I followed the instructions which were to download a more recent version of the Firmware on the router (they sent me a link to make it go away) then to do a reset of the router and then re install. Since doing so stop now this set of the PC until we press the start button to launch their new.

  I must say I was a little surprised that Netgear was able to offer this much more recent firmware as I had already used the routers built in firmware update installations when I first set up the router. He installed a firmware update and then tells me that there were no new versions available when I checked again.

  Thanks for your help and I hope this information is useful to others in the future.

  Kind regards

  Barney

  Hi osterjo,

  1. When did you start to question?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  I suggest to start the computer in safe mode and check if it works very well.

  To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

  Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

• Arrow cursor freezes on the desktop to start OK in safe mode

  Compaq Presario laptop.  Windows Vista SP 1. Touchpad

  My wife's cell phone goes through a normal startup and about 5-10 seconds after the desktop appears, the arrow cursor freezes in its previous location.  It will not move.  It apppears that touch screen turns off.  To turn off the computer, I pressed the power button.

  When I start in safe mode the touchpad works very well.

  I reinstalled the driver touch screen safe mode ATP.  No joy.

  This has happened in the last two days.  After it happened, I did a full scan with a Norton freshly updated in safe mode.  Only a minor tracking cookie has been found and fixed.  The problem has not disappeared.

  Do I have to restore full or is it just a simple fix?

  2. D Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (include reinstalling the drivers for the touchpad).

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.
