    cannot get rid of Acrobat 2.1

    I followed a similar approach and got to the bottom of the defect. I investigated all program file entries on the system and came across an old Acroread.exe which I deleted. Not only did I get rid of the launching of Acrobat 2.1 for all pdf files, but also obtaining appropriate references in the...

    cannot get rid of Acrobat 2.1

    On a pc running under XP Home SP2, Acrobat Reader 6 was installed and running occasionally whenever required. Recently, whenever I double-click on a pdf file, Acrobat 2.1 is launched and hangs. I noticed that no PDF entry exists under Tools - Folder Options - File Types. I got rid of all...

    Boot process hangs

    I am late in briefing you because of other separate problems with W2k and DVD burner. This is not the place, but don't buy a Lite-On 1633. It's junk. Go for a NEC 3500. I was unable to repair the W98 problem thoroughly without going through a re-install. The Fixboot was unsuccessful. I would...

    Boot process hangs

    I used Partition Recovery to back up the MBR. Then, I copied a recent backup version of Windows 98 over the defective version with PartitionMagic. At boot, I could choose Windows 98 or Windows 2000 without a hitch. XP was no longer a choice. I then restored the Boot.ini file referring to the...

    Boot process hangs

    I really can't see how InCD could have done that much damage to the system. Rather than reinstalling, I can use a recent copy of my Windows 98SE which is stored on another physical disk on the system. I can restore it through a PartitionMagic copy. W98SE, W2k and XP are installed in separate...

    Boot process hangs

    I carried out a Clean Boot but I ended up with the same black screen. I replaced the current registry version with the previous one. No improvement. Two System Files were pinpointed as defective by the Checker : Lmouse16.dll and MediaPlayerV2.dll. ASPIcheck gave the following results ...

    Boot process hangs

    In the bootlog, I spotted the following items :LoadFailed = ndis2sup.vxd and INITCOMPLETEFAILED = SDVXD, but apparently this is not necessarily erroneous. I tried scanreg /restore, I installed a previous registry to no avail. I uninstalled InCD and Nero. I also ran dumpASPI followed by...

    Boot process hangs

    I've been using this Windows 98Se for years. Now, I hang just before the Windows UserId and password display request. I can go into safe mode. I ran antivirus, spybot and ad-aware. I ran the registry checker from the Accessories Directory. I ran the Scandisk. I even unchecked all the startup...
