Everything gone wrong!

[matrix0978]

OK well many things wrong right now.....

1. Ok well Something went wrong with a .dll file so i couldnt get to the desktop. I had to restart everything. I tried everything to try and fix it but they all wouldnt work.

2. I then had to reinstall ALLLL of Windows XP. Once i got done with this i got to my desktop and everything was back to normal. Kinda. All the settings were default and there was nothing on the desktop just the recycling Bin. But i still had all my files in C:\.

3.I then start putting things back on the desktop. Took a few tweaks out of regtweaks.reg and then ran it. Got all that done. But then when i tried to put FireFox and AIM on the desktop But you can rename it to a normal 'AOL Instant Messenger' or 'FireFox'. They always have the extention '.exe'.

4. I tried to run them and a message popped up saying, ' This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.DLL was not found. Re-install this application may fix the problem.'

5. And so i was going to delete then and the install them again. But then when i tried to do so a message pop up saying. ' 0 : Uninstall log folder not found. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\[Product CurrentVersion]\Uninstall/Uninstall Log folder'

6.Oh and everytime i scroll down on something whether it be a website or a file in notepad or something. It doesnt scroll down smoothly. It scross down page by page. ?

7. And when i got to Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs. Nothing shows up. Its just blank!?

How if devils name do i fix this!?

well a quick serach in google for your missing file will fix that one. the scroll thing is in control panel under mouse there are scroll settings.

[matrix0978]

No. For the scrolling thing. Its not the scroll on the mouse. ITs like, when i scroll up or down on anything it doesnt go smoothly, it like stops.. and then scrolls down inch by inch....

[soldier1st]

ah quite simple, you have smooth scrolling turned off,if you got tweakui there is a setting that turns it on in there

[matrix0978]

Aight ill try it!

But also isnt there anyother way in control panel?

1 more problem....

i tried to uninstall firefox and message pops up saying. ' 0 : Uninstall log folder not found. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\[Product CurrentVersion]\Uninstall/Uninstall Log folder'

Your un-smooth scrolling may also be caused by the use of microsoft's generic video driver....check to see if you are using the latest driver for your card

[matrix0978]

Ok, but i got the cheap intergrated ProSavage 8 video so called card :)lol

If it is you did a complete re-install then the registry entries for these programs would be non existant. Your best bet is to salvage whatever data you can from the old Program Files directory, and re-install those apps.

[matrix0978]

Yeah, I got firefox and AIM to work. I re-installed Firefox I might have to do it with AIM. I got AIM to work but now 100% correctly. But im still having trouble with the scroll problem.

[bart of borg]

Did you change your video driver? I notice on my system that the scroll is very jerky until I install the proper drivers.....

[matrix0978]

Ill try and install all of the drivers.

[matrix0978]

OK well i downloaded the drivers and when i ran the set up to install.. It says 'Setup can not complete the installation. Pleae check your log in your Windows Directory'. ???

[bart of borg]

well......that doesn't sound too good! what does the log file say?

[phoenix_nf]

OK i had this same error and problem this sunday.

soln.. i had to first install my VIA 4 in 1 driver..then i installed the drivers for the graphic card.

and the problem IS your graphic driver.
