I've encountered this problem after my computer was affected with the Sality malware.



You could check first for any virus and malware lurking in your computer.

1. Update your antivirus and antispyware definition databases. Download and install an anti-spyware software, if you don't have one, such as Spybot-Search %26amp; Destroy http://www.spybot.com/en/download/index.

2. Disable your System Restore, clean up all Temporary and Recycle Bins. Use ATF-Cleaner from http://www.atribune.org , or use CCleaner from http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Porta

3. Boot to Safe Mode, then run your anti-virus. Clean/Quarantine when necessary.

4. In Safe Mode, also scan for spyware, or malwares using Spybot-Search %26amp; Destroy



Also use the AVG Sality Removal Tool

Be sure that you are also using the latest Windows Installer

If this does not fix the problem, then you have to repair your Windows installation using the Windows Repair CD.

You need to burn it to the CD in VCD format, not as data.



Most of the CD writing applications nowadays support VCD creation. Check the help file of your recorder application to find out about VCD burning.How can i change windows media player format inot normal VCD format that is .DAT?

How can i change windows xp to windows vista?

i don't know how change it ?How can i change windows xp to windows vista?
there are 2 ways. the hackers way, and the typical person's way. most computers with XP dont have the memory for Vista, so you either open the desktop thing with a screwdriver, and replace the memory stick with a newer one, ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR buy a new computer. Ur choice...How can i change windows xp to windows vista?
Buy a copy of Vista.

Back up all your files on your computer.



Boot to the DVD of Vista.

Then install.
you have to buy the windows vista update for your computer.
Just my opinion but DON'T!!! Stay away from Vista is my recommendation. I purchased a computer with Vista and the operating system was TERRIBLE out of the box and just got worse. It is so slow at everything and everytime you do anything it just gets slower. I am doing very little on it (am not ';surfing'; or downloading things) and yet it bogs down and defragging does not help.



Just my experience but steer clear..
....u hav 2 choices- get a copy of vista installation(dat's the sucky way) or the easy %26amp; safer way...get the setup exe file of the vista transformation pack-that is readily available thru direct download on the net all over.....just google vista transformation pack %26amp; u'll easily get links, size is a mere 28-30MB.......works just fine-only thing is it's not full-on vista so it's a lot easier on ur curent pc config...u can also tweak it up 2 ur specs....

Can i change windows vista to xp?

Ok, I had Windows Vista for my laptop, but Im sick of using it, So is it okay if I upgrade XP from Vista, because my dad told me that if i change it it will lock the computer, but its all up to the Task manager so can you tell me how to change vista to Xp? Thanks!Can i change windows vista to xp?
You need to do a clean installation of XP which will erase all of your data (or you could dual boot Vista and XP see the end of my answer)



I have done this on my laptop and it was VERY difficult but I got it to work.



Here is the list of XP hardware drivers that you need:



Motherboard chipset

Coprocessor

LAN

Video

WLAN (wireless)

MS UAA

Audio

Modem

Card Reader

Web Cam (if needed)



You may need Net.framework 2.0 to get some drivers to work.



Also some drivers may need to be manually installed as opposed to using the installer (exe).



It literally took me several days to get everything to work.



Good luck.



To dual boot read this:

http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vistaCan i change windows vista to xp?
You would need to downgrade to XP, not upgrade. The Task Manager has nothing to do with downgrading.
you have to buy xp software

i personally like vista
You would have to completely wipe your hard drive and reinstall Windows XP as your operating system. You would also need to have Windows XP drivers for all of your hardware.
depends on your computer. many that are coming out now adays are very difficult to go from vista to xp. research your computer on google and see what other people have done.
I know that you can buy XP and install it, instead of having Vista. As far as I know it won't lock the computer the only thing that will be different is that you have XP instead of Vista!
I hate vista and our computer has it, we were unable to but I think on some computers you can put XP on but you have to have the certain ';drivers'; for XP.
You would need to get an a copy of XP of somebody if you don't already have one, uninstall Vista and install XP.
What you want to do is completely stupid.Replace a brand new operating system with one that is dying? Why, because the start button on vista is round and it does not say ';start';?Everything new takes time to get familiar with.
Format your hard drive and install XP like installing a new OS.



But I prefer Vista over XP anyday.

How to change windows sound everytime windows starts up?

i need to know like a playlist umm instead of keep on going into the windows sound and changing itHow to change windows sound everytime windows starts up?
I was thinking about that once. But what I was thinking about would actually require me to create a program to run on windows to do that. Sort of a program that would randomly, everytime windows starts, change the start-up sound. Don't know if there's any software like that yet. Kinda not practical, as it wouldn't be so necessary that a company would create a software for that.

But you could suggest it to Microsoft to add that to their next OS.

Other than that you'll still have to go to Sounds and keep changing the start-up sound.How to change windows sound everytime windows starts up?

It certainly is. Just go to

Yes. Simply purchase the XP Home media and Licence. Boot from the media.



Remember that XP Home is just like XP Pro, but without all the features.



If you want a complete change from Windows, try Ubuntu - its free!



http://www.ubuntu.com/
Why would you want to? Pro has everything that Home has, and more. You would have to completely format and install the operation system. I strongly suggest that you keep Pro, though.
If you have Pro version it is also contain all of the features that Home version has.

There is no way to change unless you install the simple Home version.
pro is the upgrade from home.if you wan to change,just buy a xphome cd and install it.its that simple.

How can I change Windows 98SE so that the NumLock will default to ';off'; when the system boots up?

Solution #1:



* In any computer made since the late 1980's, you can set the default in your CMOS setup. This screen, usually accessible by pressing Del, ESC, F2, or some other key when your computer first boots up, is where you also define your fixed and floppy drives, memory settings, the clock, and other system parameters.

* If the setting isn't obvious, refer to the manual that came with your computer or motherboard for instructions on changing this setting.

* If you find that the Num Lock light obeys your wishes until Windows loads, at which time it is turned off or on, try one of the following settings.





Solution #2 (Windows 95/98 only):



* Include the command NUMLOCK = OFF or NUMLOCK = ON (depending on your preference) somewhere in your CONFIG.SYS file (on its own line).

* CONFIG.SYS can be edited with any plain text editor, such as Notepad. If CONFIG.SYS isn't there, just create a new file.How can I change Windows 98SE so that the NumLock will default to ';off'; when the system boots up?

dont! Windows Vista sux..
Don't do that! Haven't you heard? Vista is plagued with problems. If you are having problems with XP maybe its time to reinstall it.
DONT DO THAT , vista is hopeless if you must , upgrade to vista for free and then to Windows 7 or just do a clean install off Windows 7 , DONT GO TO VISTA
For free, you don't.



There's downloadable themes that will make it LOOK like vista, for free.



I believe there are upgrade disks out there, not sure. if not, you will need to delete your entire hard drive, and install vista from a disk, which would be turning on your computer in xp, putting the disk in your commuter, shutting down, and starting it with the disk in. Then follow the steps, its not hard.



Vista is a nice OS once you get the service packs in. People that are anit-vista generally hopped on the band wagon of people that don't know what a service pack is, and/or are using a sucky machine, or are too lazy to relearn where stuff is. the thought of My documents being under the folder ';user'; instead of ';documents and settings'; scares them.



I do recommend 7 unless you have the vista disk already. skipping vista and going to windows 7 si a good choice, I've run 7 for a while, it is more efficient than xp and vista. I have 7 currently on a system with 512 mb of ram and penile 4 processor, cruddy graphics card. Vista won't touch it, xp laggs in it, 7 is happy.

XP over-wrote the W7 Boot Loader. You have to start over and install XP FIRST.



Then, when you re-install W7, it will create the missing Dual-boot screen.
