Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: Please help me. Tuesday, September 10, 2002 at 1:14 am Posted by Ms. Eagle (33640 messages posted) You can't delete Windows, so you'd need to reformat and wipe out all your data. There are things to try that might help, but it's hard to say. It won't hurt anything to try! Btw, Kernel32.dll is the core of the operating system. You can run the I.E. repair tool, and you may need to reinstall it, if it says it can't be repaired....no big deal. Then you can clear out temp files, run scan disk and defrag.....just for starters. Repair I.E. Go to Conrol Panel (start / settings / Ctrl. Panel) 1. Add-Remove Prog. 2. Highlight MSIE & Tools 3. Click Chg. or Remove 4. Click Add-Remove 5. Repair I. Exp.---OK---Yes 6. Will prompt to restart PC Or: IE Repair Tool-- Start - Run - (type) msinfo32 - OK --Tools - IE Repair Tool -- Repair IE. Hard disk maintenance: Go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - Internet Options Under the General tab click the Delete temporary internet files, choose to delete all Offline content and click Clear History button. Go to Find - Files or folders - in the named box type: *.tmp and choose Edit - select all - File - delete. Do the same for *.chk. Then type: temp. Empty the contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder. Empty Recycle bin Normal mode: Close all tray applications and hit Alt_Ctl_Del and end task on all items except for Explorer and Systray, disable your screensaver by setting to "None." Run scandisk, then defrag. Reboot. Or: Run Scan disk and Defrag in Safe mode, if necessary. To get into safe mode press and hold the Ctrl. key after starting your PC. Plus, check in your startups and uncheck unnecessary items loading. Right-click on the icons in the tray area, open each, go through the options to turn off the "tray" or "run at startup" feature. For the others, go to Start - Run, type: msconfig. Under startup tab....Leave Systray, Scan Registry, Load Power Profile (if using power schemes), your virus scanner and firewall if you have one. These are basics, so post back and let us know how it goes. It should help something. Plus, do you have quite a few third party programs installed?

Friday, September 17, 2004 at 11:07 pm Posted by owenrudey (3 messages posted) Hi carol, I've been trying your suggestions, even though my problem is nothing like those of the original poster. Thought you might have some insight of some files I found in c:\windows\temp, of which there were many. But these stood out:C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\jkill.exe C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\tt_reco.exe C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\alchem.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\flujzifa.exe This last one keeps showing up with regedit, and my policy is never trust dwords, strings, etc. that are indistinguishable as human words. Not even real letters. I deleted them, so I can't give an example. Hope it wasn't an important system file(oh, oh ,it was in win\system) My problem is my inability to right click context menu, or even paste, on all iexplore pages. Toolbar o.k., systray o.k. I've been scouring the registry hoping to find an answer. I mean I can live w/out right click, but, by now, it's become the principal. Some other suggestions have been: 1. updated ver. mshtml.dll. 2. C:\windows\web\folder.htt. 3. some "malware" called stcloader. 4. x-setup Internet\Internet Explorer\Interface Lockdown\Appearance Options And make sure the Enable Right-Click Menu is checked. Nothing worked. Please be my guru and say it's something stupid I've overlooked. I've changed internet settings so many times, well.. Thanks for your time. This is my 1st time here, and I will check back. If any more info is needed, email me, I've kept this problem very well documented. Again, thanks. dave owen On Tuesday, September 10, 2002 at 1:14 am, Carol J wrote: > > >You can't delete Windows, so you'd need to reformat and wipe out all your data.

Saturday, September 18, 2004 at 12:28 am Posted by owenrudey (3 messages posted) carol, I found some of those wierd registry entries I was discussing. ’›–‚ÀÀÍ‚ŠÁ�‡–›‹ŸŠŸÌ‘•‚Í“Õ¢—žŽ†Ì�›œ I hope it's not like playing a record backwards, chanting to the devil. Well, my registry is cursed.
