    Losing Desktop navigation

    Thanks Linney- This machine is only 3 weeks old. It was installed with SP2 and I reinstalled it with the SP2 disk that they provided me. So after reading this thread and posting my questions from work yesterday I went home and was ready to do battle against this again...taking the link from...

    Losing Desktop navigation

    What confuses me about some of the information I received by following your link above and reading some of the material is that I have not set up a UserID and Password for the router and I even Reset the router to be sure of this. The best response that deals with my router specifically is here...

    Losing Desktop navigation

    Well, the saga continues. I have completely reinstalled WindowsXP and for the last two days I can not connect to the internet. I ipconfig'd and am getting a IP address from my router (now..anyways...at first after reinstall the driver for the ethernet card wasn't loaded and I wasn't getting...

    Losing Desktop navigation

    I will try some of this when I get home. I am assumming that it has something to do with what is in the admin priviliges though and I will still have my problem. Is there also a way to just make this profile have admin rights?

    Losing Desktop navigation

    One thing to add to all of this. I just came home for lunch and started the computer to make some more CDs and I decided to try to log on. Yesterday when I was having some problems I was so convinced that it was something in the Startup that I made another account and had the system go to the...

    Losing Desktop navigation

    I've done a repair on Windows XP and nothing has changed. I can get into Safe Mode, but I still can't get into my Normal windows. I found some threads about other people having the problems...most were a virus that I can't seem to find on my system. Another pointed to a faulty Nvidia driver that...

    But HiJack is not seeing them.

    Losing Desktop navigation

    I did what you said above, but am still getting the same result. One thing to note about it was that when I went into msconfig and clicked on the Normal Startup and after my restart I am noticing kykytk.exe file under the Startup tab again after it had been deleted. Also there is the vyvyrv.exe...

    Losing Desktop navigation

    Also another thing to note here. I had only one User Account and thought that maybe if I made another that it would have some untouched options that maybe it would start up okay. That didn't work. It took a little longer for the icons and Start Menu/bar to disappear, but they eventually did. One...

    I downloaded the Giant Antispyware, but it will not let me install it in Safe Mode.

    I tried the repair before posting here which still leads me to believe that it is something that is happening at start up. I am looking into the kykytk.exe file that keeps showing up even though I thought I got rid of it on the last round with Hijack. Any thoughts?

    Losing Desktop navigation

    well, i tried the steps above (ran through HiJack and fixed the file..while still in Safe mode I tried to get on with the xifre file and downloaded the fix). I was to the point of restarting to be able to delete it's file and now I can't even boot into Safe Mode. I'm stuck now....looks like I am...

    Losing Desktop navigation

    Thanks Greg, but I can't bring up anything when booting up normally...no key commands work and there is no navigation. I have been following some steps to take care of all possible virus type problems seen here (except for what requires you to boot up in normal mode...all of my changes have been...

    Losing Desktop navigation

    I have been having some virus troubles that i thought i had fixed today. I have downloaded and ran CWShredder, AdAware and HijackThis to troubleshoot. I thought everything had cleared and been operating fine. I left for about a half hour to come back to my monitors that just had the wallpaper in...

    Could this happen from a virus?

    Losing CD ROM and other happenings

    Hello- I've been experiencing some weird problems the last couple of days. First of all I was having a mouse/cursor issue. I would be moving around on the desktop and the mouse would suddenly hang up about every 6"or so. I restarted and it seemed okay. I then ran Adaware just to be sure...

    Quickbooks and Fonts

    I inherited a Windows 98 machine that is really quite weak and haven't had time to upgrade because some of the old software on it does not have original CD's (and I can't afford to replace them right now). I took some fonts and Adobe Illustrator from my machine and installed them onto this old...
