Two days ago, I noticed that most of my program links in my "ALL PROGRAMS" list is gone. The programs themselves are still on the computer but the links are gone. I run McAfee with updated virus protections constantly, a firewall, and SPYSWEEPER. Any ideads what the heck happened to them. Never...

I have the box unchecked in Outlook Express to NOT hang up the phone after sending and receiving. I can go back a couple of days later, and it's checked again. What keeps checking it? Is there a way to guarantee it remains unchecked? XP Home

FOUND IT!!!! The culprit was a little pop-up blocker program called NO ADS. I've been using it for years, but for some reason on this new installation, it started blocking everything. I haven't figured out exactly why yet. I'm working with SOUTHBAY now to try and find out why, but that was the...

I started from scratch again. And again I got the problem. This time though it appears to be either AD-AWARE or SPYBOT causing the problems as it started occurring right after installing those programs. On the final reboot I got a blank screen with a notice that something was trying to install...

I did it from MSCONFIG. There is NOTHING starting up under the startup tab in MSCONFIG. I have also disable all NON-MICROSOFT services in MSCONFIG. I ran AD-AWARE from the safe mode but it didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Very strange I think. I have a regular looking desktop, but when...

Thanks micker377. Yeah, for sure. I'm using Norton 2003, but everything is configured NOT TO START both the non-microsoft services and in startup. I'm unable to uninstall any programs so I can't start reversing things and of course there is no restore point to go back to. I don't have a problem...

Thanks Linney for the reply. However, I've tried all that's mentioned in those articles. About the only thing that changes is that even though no programs will start, at least I don't get the recurring data execution prevention errors. It kind of acts like a virus, but I had the newest updates...

From a completely blank 100GB WD hard drive I started a clean install of Windows XP Pro. I started putting all my programs on and everything was going along fine. After hours and hours of installing programs, updates, etc. etc. Now none of the programs will start. It will boot into Windows fine...

Has it ever worked? I ran across a new one the other day that for whatever reason had TWO JUMPERS on the pins covering both the CS and the SL. Whenever the PC was turned on the drive would open. Anyway, I removed one of the jumpers and jumpered just the CS and it worked fine. I have also run...

I recently installed Office XP. The recently used files list does not appear under FILES in any of the programs. Word; Excel; etc. In word specifically when you go to TOOLS/OPTIONS/GENERAL, the recently used files list option is greyed out. Anyone know why or how to fix it? THANKS

A friend of mine was experiencing the same problem. He unchecked the JAVA SUN box in tools/internet options/advanced and everything speeded back up again. Don't know if it's required to run anything else, but he hasn't had any trouble since.

I had that same experience until I lowered the video acceleration rate.
