It could be you have software or even hardware problems, without telling us more or what you did. We just can't give you good advice!

Try use a reg. cleaner to clean your PC then use a disk defrag. utility to defrag. your hard drive first! Once you are done, reboot your computer then let us know it did any good or not. Also, if Windows give you any error message(s). Write them down!

[Krell]

Do you have any System Resore Points to roll back to?


Make a new shortcut


In it, put either:


WindowsXP has a program called SHUTDOWN.EXE which allows you to easily create icons to shutdown or restart your computer.

To create a shutdown shortcut on the desktop:

Right click on an open area of the desktop
Select New / Shortcut
Enter in " C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0 " - no quotes
Press the Next button
For the name, enter in anything you like. I just use SHUTDOWN. Click on the Finish button.

Then right click > properties > change icon.

Sounds like spyware to me and without more info I'd guess its:

Oin
Yazzle by Oin
Purityscan by Oin
Snowballwars by Oin
Cowabanga by OIN
or anything similar with Oin in it

but I am not a spyware scanner so if you don't have one get one even two and run them to at least get a starting point on what caused this.

heyyyy ppl thanx alot for the 3 of u for posting the comment and helping me .,....
krell i created a shudown button on the desktop,,, is there anyway i can put it on the start menu?

[-0-BACKLASH-0-]

did you install any new software recently or use any keygens? I had a similar problem after using a keygen that was tampered with. I used a restore point to solve the issue.

[maans88]

and how did u fix it after?

[silentscream]

are u running xp pro ??

if so has anyone else got admin rights on ure computer ??

those buttons and their accociated actions can be dissabled/removed by xp pros group policy program

its fairly simple to rectify if that is the problem

google will help u find info on group policy

Yes, browse to your user profile and place it on the root of the START menu.

ex: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Start Menu

It will be at the top, but oh well, at least you HAVE one!

Also, consider just putting it in the Quick Launch Menu, next to the Start Button. If you have selected the proper icon, it will be very easy to spot.

[maans88]

accese resourse C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Start Menu has been disallowed

thats what i got :S

[mfgbypooter]

What you got is an infection.

Tsk . . . If you had a copy of the " Mini PE v2K5.09.03Xt " cd, you could boot to it, and handle most anything, at all, including virus. But, im assuming you dont have one. With that CD I scanned FOUR drives at once recently, over a million files.



After you install and update Spybot, be sure to Click on IMMUNIZE the system

Then follow this guide for Advanced Mode. There are a few more things there I need to show you.
http://antivirus.about.com/od/securitytips/ss/hosts_2.htm (http://antivirus.about.com/od/securitytips/ss/hosts_2.htm)

Then be sure that the Spyware Blaster is updated and all protection enabled.

Then run Hijack This. Dont make changes with it yet.

[mfgbypooter]

you are infected with one or more virus spyware and or trojans so do what Krell says and deal with it.

find and get rid of the cause of your problem and the symptoms of your problem can then be corrected.

[Krell]

Your choices:

A) Try to correct the problems and resume normal operation

B) Get out that copy of XP Pro with SP2 and delete the partition, reinstall XP and drivers etc

C) 1\2 gallon of gasoline is only $1.09


dont forget the marshmellows

[Excrement_Cranium]

OH man... Krell's back in the trenches.


Thank god!

Pain in the ass for him, a wealth of knowledge for the ZP user.

Run is missing:

Right click on your taskbar.
Click Properties.
CLick Start Menu tab.

Then if your using the "Start Menu" click "cuctomize" and then look and tick "run command"

Then if your using the "Classic Start Menu" clcik "customize" and then look and tick "display run"

Let us know what happen

[maans88]

i tried that but when i went to the list run wasnt here.so whats wrong then?

[infoseeker]

my last bet for you

online virus and malware scan

[maans88]

[Uncle Nasty Fingers]

I took your button ... and no you can't have it back until I'm done doing things to it ... :hi

[Krell]

and what do i do after that?

What are you expecting? Magic button finder?

I gave you everything you need to work with.


Well except the gasoline of course.

[mfgbypooter]
