  1. If I do Run> regedit.exe it works! However, just regedit makes it want to do regedit.com However, I did not find a regedit.com file, so maybe a virus changed the command from perceiving it as .exe to .com... tricky little buggers...
  2. Wow, well... I didnt install that free antivirus yet... but I just tried using Word and Excel (my Office programs werent opening either without freezing) and they work just fine now... let me try regedit.. Okay regedit still doesnt work, but MSConfig does (and I've already had it set up so nothing starts at start-up) dxdiag works... Everything but my regedit... and I showed you the error I got.. Shall I post a new thread for that seperate error or can anyone help me here?
  3. Oh wow, this time an error popped up when I tried using regedit...check it out... The cmd title says "C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.com" and the error that popped up with the cmd is: _________ 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem _________ C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.com The NVIDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:014b IP:007f OP: 8e 8f 90 92 92 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. |Close| |Ignore| I installed and used Norton Antivirus, only one piece of adware was found from SaveNow.. got it removed... still cant do regedit it seems though... Will try updating video drivers and trying that freeware and post again. Okie dokie... video drivers changed nothing, still getting that regedit error... will try freeware antivirus now.
  4. Well, I wonder if it has ANYTHING to do with my Norton saying it has expired... half a year early... Let me reactivate it and do a scan...
  5. I followed all your steps except one of the first ones that asks for me to create or edit a registry.. When I run 'regedit', the DOS black screen window comes up and disappears and nothing more happens... I think this may also coincide with none of my Microsoft Office products no longer working.
  6. Why would it be hardware if it only reboots itself upon closing a full window program or LimeWire? By full window, I mean no other program can run ontop of it, it stays on top and takes up the whole screen so if you alt tab out of it, it minimizes... And no, no bugcheck.. just straight reboot...
  7. Hey guys, Sometimes when I am using a full screen program (like, for instance, EverQuest) and I Alt+Tab out of the game, my computer restarts itself. This only happens once in awhile but as you can imagine, it gets pretty aggrivating. Also, if I am using Limewire, and I exit the program, my computer also does the whole restart itself thing.. once again, only once in awhile.. Anything I can do to stop this?

  8. Okay, this is my first post... Anyway, I have Microsoft Office 2003, SP2... Windows XP Home... If you need my dxdiag or any other information, let me know... All my other programs work great except for most of the Microsoft services... Windows update freezes after I click Custom Install OR Express... Also, all my Microsoft Office files freeze when I open them.. If I try opening an existing Office file (Powerpoint, Word, Excel, etc) or if I create a new one and open, it freezes at either the banner or it shows an empty workspace but freezes... I already tried getting help from Microsoft, but I did not want to pay per incident. If you need more details or any other information, please let me know... I didn't find another post with the same problem.. Thanks.
