I started getting BSOD a couple of weeks ago while my kids were playing jumpstart.com. It now comes randomly and always after the computer has been running for a while. I have Avast antivirus, AMD Athlon 64 processor 3500+ 2.21 GHZ and 3.0 ram but I don't know the make. The computer is home...

So last night I couldn't sleep and decided to log back onto my Acer to surf the web when I found 32-bit IE didn't work. It locks up instantly and can only be closed by ending the process from the process list in the task manager. 64-bit IE still works. Firefox and Opera both don't work. I'd be...

As a new member, let me say, I have searched the forum for a solution to my problem, and discovered many great ideas, but none have fixed my problem. I'm running Win 7 Home Premium on a home built desktop with an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe MB, and an AMD processor. It only has a single 160g HD...

I recently attempted defragmenting my registry with Registry Medic ( or smth like that), immediately after the restart I was not able to access my computer at all. Safe mode generates the same error massage as the normal start up. The Win 7 startup recovery can not fix the problem. I'm...

I got my PC infected with some spyware and virus from online. I used avast and AVG to get rid of the virus. Every time I try to open any program, my PC asks me to "Choose the program you want to open this file". So I have to go to run as administrator and use the file. I tried to go to...

I am attempting to clean up a friends HP PC which is running Vista 32 bit SP2. I believe she has contracted a piece of malware by clicking on a photo in facebook (Is this a picture of you?). One of the symptoms is preventing the computer installing updates for Vista and Defender. I have...

I am sorry to be so vague, but my laptop has started to do some strange things. I have been informed twice now since Saturday, by friends, that the e-mails that I have sent have been totally unreadable. They have been described as being in code? Yesterday morning I sent a single e-mail and...

I have two PCs - one with Win 7, Pro 32 bit and the other Win 7, Ultimate 64 bit. On the 32 bit machine I can easly provide Remote Assistance to others via a request coming in from Windows Live Messenger (ver 2009 - build 14.0.8089.726), but on the 64 bit machine I can 'accept' the incoming...

I recently upgraded my Avast free to version 5. When I tried a full system it crashed and the shields had to be reset. I tried several installs and the problem persisted. I finally found the problem was Webroot Spy Sweeper. I also had the same problem when I tested it on a virtual PC. Joe

Yeah for the past month I've been trying to switch windows firewall to some software that's on the market and\or free. Tried Agnitum Outpost, it caused bluescreens. Tried Zonealarm for a few days, it caused my computer to freeze. And Comodo is full of bugs, one being it wont start every other...

My problem may be the same as a lot of others that I've seen reported but here is my version. After booting I move the cursor to the 'Start' button and the hour glass appears. After several clicks I get the message "Windows Explorer is not responding" followed by another message about problem...

I got this last night and haven't found anything searching. In event viewer I have" Event ID 11 Wininit " and the following: "Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. The system administrator should review the list of libraries to ensure they are related to...

Hi, I have recently adquired a Dell laptop with Core 2 processor and Windows 7 Home Edition (64 bits) installed. Its seems to work pretty fine except for a little detail: sometimes Windows Explorer crashed a lot of times (it then restart and nothing else ugly happens but it is annoying:mad:) The...

I just installed Windows 7 shortly after Christmas and on Jan. 3rd I received my first bluescreen error. I downloaded Debugging Tool for Windows (x64) and tried going through the DMP files but I don't know what to make of them. I've only seen the system blue screen twice, the other 9 times it's...

Hello. This is my first post here but unfortunately it's problem related. I'm runing Win7 Ultimate edition, and today a strange problem has started to happen. My browser stops opening pages around 2 hours after the computer boots. If I reset the computer, I can then surf again. Before the...
