WinXP - which seems to be a corruption of directory
Hi all
I ran into a problem with access to some files (perhaps due to the update of a program existing... not sure). Am running WinXP SP3. Here's what I found so far:
1. I have a subfolder that contains PDF files. If I'm in WinExplorer and I right click on a file name, I get a very short list of options. "Adobe Reader" and open Adobe Acrobat"are the first 2 (if I click on 1 of the Adobe options, nothing happens. However, if I open Adobe Reader and then try to open the file, I get "the name of the file above is not valid"... it's the same anme file I see in WinExplorer). I get about 4 or 5 other choices, but no editing options (cut, copy, paste, etc.). If I look at an adjacent folder (same level in the directory tree), if I right click on any one of these files, I get a long list of options (options above Adobe, AVG, WinZip, etc. and options publishing.
2. in the folder 'wrong', if I slow click twice on the file, 1st time that the name of the file is highlighted, 2nd click on get a beep as a mistake and nothing happens. Cannot change the name. I also can't exceed the copy/edit, either. If I do a Dir /X command, I can see the long names and short names. However, I can't Reader to open the file for each name (when I tried yesterday, I thought I could at least open with a short name). I also downloaded s good file with a name short but was unable to open it.
3. I did another folder plu high in the tree, believing that the problem could be related the number of characters allowed for the path/file name (although this has never been a problem before). I could not yet move the wrong files. This is the strange and possibly critical thing about it. After that I restored this new folder, I then tried to transfer file (including 3 subfolders) to the same directory level of the file with the wrong files. The result was that filenames in this set of folders was placed under the long file name short file name (8.3, 6 characters followed by "~ 1"). I tried to change the file names to long file names and, while I could change the name of the file, I was limited as to how many characters, I might add (maybe 8 or 9).
4. I have a disc into a drive C and D. This problem with PDFs is on my drive D. I also noticed that when I go to the station of work/properties and click the System Restore tab (all other tabs appear to work normally), I'm getting poured into request if I want a debugging session in Visual Studio... something about "an unhandled win32 exception occurred in run32dll.exe [
It seems that it is a sort of directory corruption, specifically related to the long short name/parameters by name. According to what I've done so far, I downloaded new versions of some files, and as long as I do not place these files/folders in the tree where are the folder (s)? 'bad' files are OK. I am interested to know if there is a way I can 'restore' files to a healthy state. I ran antivirus programs and malware and that you have not seen serious infections. I also ran chkdsk but no serious disk errors were noted. Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide. See you soon... Steph Hello stephr1, Thanks for the return of the response. I have included a link below from the Microsoft MSDN site which can help, I hope. Please let us know status. MSDN: http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247 (vs.85) .aspx Thank you James, Thanks for (finally ;) to return to me.) I solved two problems (I also had a situation with no enforcement system restore and enter directly into a session attempt to debug with Visual Studio).
As for the question of length of path/file name... Somewhere along the way, I have to (intentionally) increased the length of 1 or 2 of path names without realizing the impact that would have on the lower level directories and/or files. This apparently caused problems, I don't see until recently. I have reduced since the no. tanks in some of the names of path in addition to "flattening" the directory structure a bit to avoid this problem in the future. So far, it has worked.
Regarding the issue of the restoration of the system... the original problem seems to be related to access to the privileges of the folder System Volume Information hidden on the hard drives. To fix things, I temporarily changed the privileges to access these records to the appropriate volumes, their fame in "System Volume Information2" and then tried to run the system restore. When I did this, System Restore created new system volume files (without the ' 2') and then I deleted the files renamed (with a ' 2'). Everything is back to normal. I wonder if we the recent updates of Windows XP made "unannounced adjustments" to the access privileges for these files, and that caused my problems. Anyway, things are back to normal. I would like to offer congratulations to this forum to help me solve problems, but it seems that I have pretty well it matched out on mine (a suggestion initially was to reload the system... not the kind of response I can understand :( However, I appreciate you and anyone else who tried to help me. Thank you. See you soon... Steph Tags: Windows I need to change email provider? I get a fake Government attachments w which seem to be just a code I received two mails from the County Clerk telling me that I have to present to the Court. The email has an attachment that once opened computer code showed only. I went to court, and they said that they do not e-mail. The second, that I received this morning which seems very real and said it was the Internal Revenue Service < @irs.gov > and I got a refund and to open an attachment. I know that I don't have a repayment and did not open the attachment. The e-mail that I receive the email is that I do not as a rule. I think is no longer using Thunderbird as my email that I find these very scary fake e-mail. What can I do to prevent these fraudulent emails that change my email provider and to change my email address. As General precautionary measure do not open attachments from unknown sources and attachments, you did not or did not. From: e-mail address of spam almost certainly isn't the email to the original sender, it can easily be spoofed. You don't have an email account with your email provider, not with Thunderbird or Mozilla. It doesn't matter how you get the mail server of the provider, through Thunderbird or any other e-mail or via the webmail client. You will receive these scams by e-mail to your account without worrying. Change your email address and or your email provider may be a good idea however. And be careful for what and to whom you give your email address. I receive a "Low disk space" message and to free up space (d) car which seems full of backup files dating from when I got the laptop. Now I also have the message 'the last backup impossible' because I don't have enough space on this drive. He had originally 110 GB Local disk (d :)) and it fell to 7.44 MB of free space.) Can I remove the back of the 'safeguards' located in the 3 files and start on the 17/04/2008 right up to 2011-01.05 and just keep the last backup or removing the back will cause problems? Can someone help thank you. Hi KarenRoss56, You can try to remove the old files of backup from 2008 to 2010 and check. Note: When you delete these files and later if you perform a restore, you will not be able to get previous data. If you need one of these files, you can transfer the files to an external drive before you delete the system files. You can also use Disk Cleanup to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run more quickly. Delete files using disk cleanup Hope this information is useful. Issue. I have CS5 on Windows desktop 8.1 which I'm unable to update due to the repeated download error (no error number).

How can I get the clips in record full-time instead of 25 seconds (that they seem to be defined) using windows DVD maker Hi LorraineDawson, Here's a walkthough troubleshooting on this issue: hope this helps B Eddie I talked about what I thought, it was the 'answer Desk' many x since 2/2013. The first time, I agreed to pay a fee of $99.95 for their support of prem. My space available on my C: drve (my primary internal HD) had suddenly disappeared from aprx 30 GB less than 7 GB and I was getting warnings in order to free up more space for the OS to work (Win 7 Hm Prem). I was unable to do a restore and ended up opting for the help I thought may be some kind of malware... I sat down and typed chat w the tech until the store has been w / I 10 minutes from closing. He said to go ahead and that it would update me when I got home. When I got home, he said that I had nearly 200 cases to be a site where a virus or something like that. He also had somehow freed more than 80 GB on my C: drive. I was exhausted and overwhelmed by the upheavals which went down while I was gone for 15 min. I made the mistake of thinking I could get additional clarification of all cela the next day when I had little sleep. I've never been able to get a detailed account of what he wanted by 200 close to infections or how he had gotten me 7 GB when I left at more than 90 GB, when I got home fr store. I found w / I a few days I still had serious w problems my free space on the drive internal dissapating too low levels and still not the ability to do a restore. I tried a recovery when the restore has failed twice. I had to do several laps when I got a computer laptop w Vista as a model of HP for my 1st purchase computer - a laptop given to nine (w. XP). As we know, Vista was raided in MS * until they came out SP1 SP2 for the confused, tired of the masses. In any case, I haven't had any apprehension on the restorations - bk to the top of your list of files, the software U wanted to reinstall. When I tried it on Windows 7 in 2/2013, I learned, I was given a key to sting that was incorrect because of sm. I bought 7 online after that Vista would not even restart files en lost because the registry (where they went are beyond me, maybe Costa Rica). Forgive my black humor, but it's what has kept me sane while devoting my life to constantly face w Windows for 1 reason or another. Fast forward to February. I was assigned 6 diff cases impossible since then because after I received a regenerated prod key and the reciovery, I had lost my CD burning ability. The last 2 times I called 'Office of response', literally, I spent 5 -7 w h. Tech that didn't charge me but also left me w no solution after having exhausted me while they were just travelling. All this has a cumulative effect and they play you w. that to mind. Following the last was a guy named Alex who swore that he would call me the next afternoon at 16:00 and I never heard from him again, haven't had no case, said that no Alex was there, etc... Finally, yesterday I called and when I unbalanced young woman in its attempts to prelim to guide the conversation, she got her suervisor, a type of very vigorous hyperconfident, which all of my history w recent them and resolutely focused on sell me either one another session extraordinary $ 99.95 w simply ignored another tech or an extended warranty program to cover me for mos how. I do not know. After refusing not to recognize my recent w purchase offers even no follow-up, no help to solve the problem at all - I said that, although it was of course polite to its mandate - closest high-power, he ignored the very relevant inconsistencies that I did clearly too many times and with a less-than-slick method called simply ignore the objection and try to talk me into submission. I have rfealize many of you in the forum must have had some formal w MS Assoc. and I am not condemning the whole anything. I don't get what support degenerated. The guy went yesterday to a few administrative event viewer screen and "showed me where I had turned off many vital MS service components, including 1 thatr makes no sense whatsoever - I told my update of Windows (which is set to auto-install every day without any special authorization) DO NOT to INSTALL ALL the DRIVERS...". Who does not at all any H2O. Why I set the update I have described and then send it to not do very well the tasks he would have apparently if necessary to update? If anone can begin in any sense of the madness, I really see how it was me that I screwed up over and over again. Thanks to all of you who have really tried to help me. At this point, I decided to save my $ for a refurbished MacBook Pro and pretend this never happened.

If it helped to solve the problem, then you can delete the renamed file cert8.db.old.
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the file cert8.db.old to cert8.db to restore previous intermediary certificates.
Firefox automatically records the intermediate certificates when you visit Web sites that send such a certificate.

You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

I suggest to start the computer in a clean boot state, and then install the update manually.
Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.
