Super Sparks,
Thanks for your response. I have printed the whole thing and will pass it along. My friend will post back eventually under her own name.
Really appreciate the help.

A friend downloaded this rascal and can't get rid of it. Anyone know a good utility to accomplish this?
I googled it and most of the cures appeared to be worse than the disease.
Thanks for any...

Thanks to all who responded. As suggested, I ran the Trend Micro scan, which turned up only four tracking cookies.
I have turned off System Restore, booted, and then turned it back on. If this...

Running XP SP2, have used system restore in the past, but now it is not reliable. I have checked the Microsoft site, and done everything listed in their "Troubleshooting System Restore" article.
If...

Thanks for the info, Sparks. I am one step ahead, as my XP disk includes SP 2!
That helps a little.
My programmer son will be here next week, and I am sure he will help.
Thanks again.

Sorry, Sparks, the typo is in my message, not when I tried to run sfc \scannow
(says he, hiding his red face).

Noticed the other day that right clicking MyComputer in the Start menu accomplished nothing. Also, System Restore,which I turned, off, restarted and had been working for about ten days, will no...

Iiam, you are right again. I cannot play wav files, either from files on my comp or from CD's. The pattern s the same: the media player shows the selected file, the animation works, the slider moves...

Liam, you're right. I found theTools, Options, but all the choices are checked. Also, I found a CBS News video which I ran on Media Player, and it played both audio and video. Now I am baffled.
I...

Liam, my Media Player 10 does not have a Tools menu. I just downloaded it, so I must have at least a very recent edition.
Boy, am I now confused!

Train, how do you "run your browser just above your Media Player"?
Hate to be such a pest, but I just don't understand that one.

Liam, Tools, Options -- where? Media Player doesn't have a Tools --
Also, I downloaded the codecs and no change. I don't have any video files on board --
Thanks for your interest

Using a Dell 4700, with XP Home, suddenly my Windows Media Player 10 will not play; more correctly, it plays but makes no sound.
I downloaded and installed a new copy, but no change.
Sounds from...

Thanks, Big John & Liam for your responses. I have turned off the Symevent process and we'll see what happens.

I recently posted a stop error 8e, and was referred to some helpful resources. It appears the problem is with SYMEVENT.SYS, a driver file apparently included in a Symantic update on May 13th, since I...

Thanks for responding; there was a Symantec updae on May 13, which may be the culprit.

I have recently had two occurances of the same stop error:

STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xEEE852B7, 0xED27C93C, 0x00000000)

SYMEVENT.SYS - Address EEE885287 base at EEE7A000, DateStamp...

In trying to resolve a shut down issue, I note that Task Manager shows no user name on any of the services. I am running XP HE SP2, and Policies are not available. Is there a method to assign...

Steve, the error is gone. You headed me in the right direction; it is a Quicken file, and Quicken support provided the cure (I disabled the quicken background driver).
So, thanks for the lead: all...

Sorry. Steve, that is one of the first things I looked at.
Tough little bugger, huh?

Sorry, no Quickbooks. I do have Quicken 2005 installed, but a search for "mrt*.sys" doesn't find anything. I have already searched the entire computer for mrtRate w/o success.
The thought of this...

Yes, event viewer shows this error at every startup (I turn my comp off at nite)
Thanks for your interest --

In event viewer, I am getting this error at every system start: (Paraphrased)
"The mrtRate service failed to start because the file could not be found"
According to Microsoft, "mrtRate" is the new...

You are, of course, correct, and the keyboard is working. My issue involved the "extras" such as a volume control that does not work with the standard XP drivers.
Meanwhile, I searched Dell's...

Photolady.
I tried Dell for keyboard downloads. They have only four, two of which are for USB keyboards (mine is PS/2) and the others are not my keyboard.
Trying downloads for Dell 4700's, they...
