drip_lizard Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 For some reason today I have 4 of everything in my control panel. I have system restore dis-abled. I am running windows xp pro with sp2. Any help would be great.
N1K Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Did you do something before that happened (installation of some software or drivers)?
tiredoflogins Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 i am not very happy with windows XP either.
Jito463 Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 i am not very happy with windows XP either.How does that help?@drip_lizardHave you checked to see if you have any viruses? Open Task Manager and look for any suspicious processes or run a virus scan if you can. Maybe check your RAM for problems. www.memtest.org is your friend If that passes, download the trial of Ontrack Data Advisor (or buy it, it's only $20) and scan your HDD for errors. Barring that, I'd suggest a full format/reload of the system as something has obviously corrupted Windows.
drip_lizard Posted September 23, 2004 Author Posted September 23, 2004 the only thing i did was install NAV2005. I ran hackthis and the ultimate troubleshooter on it. and came up with nothing. I also ran ad-aware pro and spysweeper. I also ran acronis privacy expert and advanced registry optimizer. And never came up with anything. So I used drive scrubber and formatted my drive to department of defense standards and then re-installed windows with my disk i slipstreamed sp2 into. Which I learned how to do here, and everything is working great now.
