Programs on all programs show empty

Hi bonjy03, got a virus trojan:DOS / Alureon.E and can't open some programs more missing icons on the desktop after the jremoved virus. How can I get back them

I'm not sure it's the virus you've had, but there was a malware out there that simply set the hidden attribute on the programs and the desktop icons.  First, configure your computer so that you can see hidden files.  To do this:
Double-click any folder, and then Tools-> Folder Options-> View (tab)->
Then click on the show the hidden... files"" button. "and clear the check from the box" Hide protected operating system... " ».
He's going to complain about it, but just insist that it's OK.

And search for hidden files in the following directories (they will appear "ghosts"), right-click on it, select 'Properties' and turn off the "Hidden" attribute  Look in these directories:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Menu
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu run\programs
C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu
C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop

Once completed, you can return to the display of hidden files for the settings that you prefer.

  • Infected by a virus and programs are empty

    I think we've got a virus. Of course, I can get on the internet, but in a weird way. My office is empty and "all programs" says "empty."  I need to try the system restore, but cannot access it. I've tried everything. I don't know that much about computers, but I'm trying to avoid taking it to be fixed.

    Try to run the restore of the system at the command prompt:

    "How to start the System Restore tool by using the option of safe mode with the command prompt in Windows XP"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304449 >

    It looks like your icons are hidden.  Change your settings to show hidden files:
    Panel-> folder-> View (tab) Options
    Check the box "show the hidden files and folders".
    Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"
    OK your way out.

    If you find that your files are hidden, and then right click on them-> properties-> uncheck "hidden". -> OK

  • Program shows just like a small strip at the top left after the resumption of the hibernation

    My program shows itself sometimes only as a small strip once Windows comes out of the hibernation.

    Everything seems to be the program. Only sometimes.

    I can maximize and it will go the the corner, but always shows only the small band.

    I can move it around, but it will show more than the small band.

    I can close it from the Task Manager, but lose all the data that I didn't save.

    It will open normally again.

    Hi Mark,

    Thank you for the update.

    If possible, I'd suggest to uninstall the program and re - install to see if that solves the problem. If this is not the case, because this application is developed using .net, I would recommend to post your query in MSDN.

  • Regulation the screen showing empty in iphone 5 s

    My settings > General > regulatory screen showing empty (check screenshot below) is there someone tell me why it's like that

    It may be a bug or something like that. Try restarting/resetting your phone. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  • New ink cartridges show empty

    Hello

    HP Photosmart C6380 All in one

    Despite the purchase of authentic HP ink cartridges from a reputable supplier, the ink is not recognized or shows empty as they do now. Eitherwayi unable to print. I bought several and still get the same message. I installed also the latest version of the software whicg was a nightmare in itself, I have vista on a machine, and there is no way I can load the software.

    I understand that manufacturers often include a date of birth on the chip in the ink, I thought was illegal, because it requires you to buy more ink, even if the printer ink is still usable. I tried to call help HP but they wanted to charge me for technical advice, hmm I prefer tray to the printer and completely avoid the HP products.

    I don't know if there is a solution to this or the printer / software is completely unsuitable for the use nor HP are trying to scam people with ink through illegal chipping.

    Hello world

    OK, if you started using this cartridge is it a date of guarantee on the cartridge. If the cartridge is considered defectiver we can replace the cartridge, as long as it's still in the warranty period on the cartridge. Please contact our technical support at the 800-474-6836.

    S set of standard print samples:

    HP publishes page performance data based on the industry standard to measure yields (ISO 24711) cartridge. Under the ISO 24711 testing guidelines, a standard set of 5 8 1/2 x 11 pages are printed continuously until the cartridge reaches end of life. For various reasons, these test conditions may not reflect what you encounter in everyday use. Standard ISO page yields should be used only as a starting point for comparison purposes, and not to predict actual performance, you'll get your cartridge and HP printer. Actual performance varies considerably according to the content of the printed pages, frequency of printing and other factors. Click here for more information on volume of performance and the ink on the pages. Click here for more information on the use of ink.

    What I need to do is print the printer status report just until you are ready to install your new game cartridges and then scan. Send this page to me using the line attachments in the message box. Once you begin to receive messages that the cartridges are low or need to be replaced I need to print you another status report, and analysis that he be sent to me. Once we have the front and after the reports, we can then take a look at what is being printed and how real pages you had with the cartridges. Let me know if you have any questions.
