XP sp3 works almost after virus hit and scan.

The machine starts but displays the box "open the file with" instead of running programs or utilities.  I cloned the drive and compares the files system with those of a double system.  I searched in the Windows folder and comparing a file set to the other with a program called Beyond Compare.  I find a lot of differences, most expect OK.   Suggestions of places to look?   I don't really want to reset this machine.

OK - had to repair.  I couldn't run programs, but found I could run programs by clicking and using "run as".   I used the program to restore the system with the trick "run as" and got things working again.

  • After that my virus clean my printer does not work I have windows xp and my printer Deskjet F 300 said

    After that a virus clean my printer HP Deskjet F 300 quit working they installed Windows XP from Windows 2000 and I can't make it work help

    "they have installed?  You had somebody "clean" your computer and they have also installed Windows XP (you used to have Windows 2000)?

    The first thing you need to do is to determine if 'they' a legitimate version of Windows XP installed.  Download and run the MGADiag tool.  If the tool does not report that Windows is "genuine", take back it the computer and demand that 'they' install an authentic version, paid Windows XP.  While they are at it, tell them to install a driver for your HP Deskjet F300.

    If you do not have a genuine version of Windows XP, then go to this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=1128298
    You have several choices to this page.

    • The top line, which only says: 'Pilot' is the complete set of software including software HP's Photosmart printer drivers and the scanner of your Deskjet.  As the HP notes, this is a very large download, so if you want this package, you must have a high-speed Internet connection or order the CD.
    • The second line, which says "Driver - Product Installation software" includes the basic print and scan drivers.  HP has said, "not all product features are supported with this installation package."  I don't know what "features" are not supported if you choose this option.
    • It should not necessary the "Patch" because or the other of the first two downloads is dated after the patch and so should be included.  After things are installed, you can download and install the most recent of the 3 "Updates".

    When you wrote that the printer "will not work" after a new installation of Windows XP, I assume that the printer is not installed at all.  Just in case, however, previously, you use the package that you download from HP, follow the instructions here to clean all traces of a failed attempt to install it.  (Note: remember "Step 4".)  "Step 6" refers to the directions outlined in the upper part of this post.)

  • Some keys on the keyboard does work not after the suspect virus on Tecra

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and the end of the keys no longer work after a suspected virus attack. I found the same problem on the net record but apparently this guy fixes his problem after stop scroll or NumLock on found him.

    This isn't the case here, but it's something with numlock - registry Watch 2 and not 0. switch to 0 but when reboot 2 times.
    Suspect has changed through the bios. I thought that I couldn't get to the bios because DEL key does not but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset the values default to the bios but then can't save and exit it in accordance with the EndKey to work.

    I was running XP at the time of the (alleged) attack and could not correct the problem so to put the computer OEM as I hoped would help - there no, same problem, so instead of installing all the software on the computer with XP I upgraded to Windows7 - charge install.

    Keys still don't work - it was a real pain first as my computer was created for ctl + alt + delete to log on and I had to do with the keyboard of the screen - XP - it showed also that numlock performed before and after windows starts.

    The reason why I suspect a virus - my wife was watching an of its tv shows on the line of the country of origin (an another toshiba laptop) and I needed to use this laptop for something else, so I asked to use mine - then we turned off laptops and the morning turned tham back on again once , the other laptop with virus protection AVG reported several hits and this one with Norton (FAMOUS and completely up-to-date) flagged nothing - once I got the screen keyboard.

    Problems with this computer were found after scanning with different antivirus.
    Anyway - I find myself with 4 keys that don't work not on my keyboard (in fact they work after I have connected to the computer for the first time, but I had to hold them in place for a long time - and then the next time I rebooted, not at all and did not since)

    Here, any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm working on this all weekend with no joy at all.

    Thanks in advance.

    Having a virus attack, the Windows files will be destroyed. Try the scan with kaspersky on Nod 32. If not help, reinstall os because it is the best solution in your case.

  • I can work on after effects being coded by best practices and Media Encoder file

    I just found out that after effects files can be returned outside the program using the media encoder.  I had been made in after effects of .mov, then open the file in photoshop to render the .mov to a mp4.  Not the process faster, but it worked.  If I use media encoder to make my legacy model would still be able to work in AfterEffects and edit and save the file rendered in media encoding, or it is locked?  I hear also the media encoder is slower than the after effects encoder.  What are the best practices for a comp sequelae which makes a mp4 (h264)?  Thank you...

    Depending on what you do the SOUL can be slower than using index rendering, but that's the only thing that you must use to make H.264 files.

    When you send a model to the SOUL a virtual copy of this composition that is the source for this rendering. You can continue to work on the same computer and additional changes but if you want these changes appears you will need to send this model to the SOUL again after making the changes.

    Almost without exception, I'm working on plans not and certainly never movies sequences in After Effects. My average computer is probably seven seconds, my average film is probably 30 minutes so I use AE to work on plans for effects which cannot be treated in my NLE. I almost always send a model to the SOUL to render a h.264 or a suitable production master, or both, and then I continue working in AE because I can't afford to wait for a rendering time. On almost all of it is the more efficient workflow.

  • Satellite P850 almost nothing works correctly after Windows update 8.1.

    Model: Toshiba Satellite P 850 part number: PSPKFV-00H002AR

    Machine is purchased in UAE (United Arab Emirates) UNITED with Windows 8 installed at the factory. Doesn't have a 3d screen. Doesn't have the capacity of Blu ray.

    I have the following problems: most of the stuff does not work properly after that I updated to Windows 8.1 Although I followed the manual of Toshiba.

    Some of the function Fn keys do not work.

    Eco button does not work (even if it does not work in Windows 8 also)

    Accelerator drive HARD does not work. says "caching works correctly", but when I go into the history of the use it has not been used since the day wherever I've updated to 8.1 Windows

    There is NO driver for the built in LAN card (manufacturer Realtek)

    The following solution is possible: uninstall all the drivers/utilities Toshiba and registry clean (with backup of course)

    Go to download Toshiba Driver and select the 64-bit Windows 8 operating system (I guess that's for computers with pre installed Win 8.1 at the factory?)

    Download any supplied drivers and see if everything works.

    (I always download my drivers on Toshiba EU website (no question of machine is bought from UNITED Arab Emirates) because I don't see any difference in the files and Toshiba MEA Middle East and Asia Web site is slow and does not work most of the time.)

    Also is there a manual with good order with installing the drivers? I guess that's something like Chipset driver > driver for Toshiba system > Toshiba flash cards Manager > then all the Toshiba Utilities > drivers for LAN, WLAN, sound, video, fingerprint reader?

    And one last question made Office Toshiba assist include the last HARD disk Accelerator utility? If not, where can I download the latest version of work for my model/brand computer laptop that works with Windows 8.1?

    null

    > Some of the function Fn keys do not work.

    To get all the keys FN works, installation of all Windows 8.1 tools is very important.
    Tools such as: * System Toshiba Toshiba function key utility, utility Support Flash Cards, driver *.
    You must look for each driver in the Windows 8.1 update 8.1 Windows 64 bit box

    > Eco button does not work (even if it does not work in Windows 8 also)
    You need to update/install the Eco Utility for Windows 8.1 update

    > Drive HARD Accelerator is not work says of "caching works correctly", but when I go into the history of the use it has not been used since the day where I've updated to 8.1 Windows

    Have you installed the utilities of the accelerometer and HDD Protection Utility for Windows 8.1 64bits?
    Where n t, the mentioned tools are located in the area of 64-bit Windows 8.1

    > There is NO driver for the built in LAN card (manufacturer Realtek)
    It's the same local network as for Windows 8

    Hi Knbrown,

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    Most of the online games use Java and Flash Player. If Java or Flash Player is not updated, you can get this error message.

    I suggest that you install the latest version of Java and Flash Player and make sure if you are able to play, you can see the link to download the latest version and install it by selecting the appropriate operating system:

    http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/

    http://www.Java.com/en/download/index.jsp

    If the problem persists, I suggest that you check with the manufacturer of games for assistance, you can check the link: http://bigfishgames.custhelp.com/app/home

    Let me know if it worked.
