A strange thing has started to happen when I start my PC, it boots up as normal, but a box comes up in notepad which says
[.shellclassinfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787.
I have tried various registery cleaners, but to no avail. Has anyone else come accross this problem, and did you find a cure?

Help please

I recently opened a file on my friends usb drive, and now whenever i try to open my hard drive it says can not find script file MS32DLL.dll.vbs or something like that.
Also my mozilla firefox keeps freezing every 2 minutes.
My computer is also a lot slower.
Do you know what virus this is (if it is a virus)? and how i can get rid of it?
note that i dont think that it is the hacked by Godzilla virus,
and i have also used an outdated version of trend microffice scan (it wont update) and updated norton antivirus scan, spybot and AVG and they show nothings wrong.

How well does all of this go together? I already have the PC...just deciding on a video card and a power supply now. I've narrowed it down to this combination. What do you guys think?!

Computer: HP a6152n

Video card: ASUS EN7300GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121021

AntiVir Guard has detected a virus and gives me options to delete, quarantine, deny access etc. Initially I denied access but the notification kept popping back up again, so I tried Delete, quarantine and deny access but I still get the pop-up notificaiton. So the virus is still there and I can't seem to get rid of it. One other thing I have noticed is that it only happens when I try and access a certain website (Metcheck). Others, like Yahoo answers for example, are fine. Can anyone give me advise? Has anyone heard of this virus? Thanks in advance.

It's second time that I've bought a HD and it's capacity is not even close to stated one. Disk Management shows only 2/3 or 1/2 of disk capacity. I would expect maybe 10 or 20 GB's, but not half less. Is it an old BIOS problem? PC is 4 years old.
What's funniest - If I format the 250 GB HD in external disk case over USB port, everything is OK. But when formatting it plugged in PC (on IDE) capacity is downgraded.

I'm trying to open one port, TCP+UDP, for file sharing. I have a static IP, disabled windows firewall, disabled the router firewall, and applied forwarding in my router's admin. Still any simple connection test on the web times out. What am I missing?!
I can ping myself using the WAN address, thought I don't know if it means much.
I have WinXP SP2, and a Linksys WRT54G v3.03.6.

Im looking to buy a new laptop-i like the idea of a tablet, and I love the idea of the touchscreen feature. I would like the screen to be at least around 15 inches, with high def. I need the finger scroll and touch mouse pad. Money isn't really an issue-I would like to stay under the $2500 range though. I also need to have wireless internet anywhere I go, and a long battery life. Nothing too heavy either cus I want to haul it around a lot. Webcam and the fingerprint password verification are interesting, but optional. CD/DVD burner would also be nice-but optional as well/ If anyone out there could help me and maybe make a few suggestions as to which products you think I might like-that would be absolutely great. I've been shopping around, but don't always know exactly what I'm looking at, so any help would be great. OK-thanks!

So I'm about to buy the ASUS EN7300GT off newegg.com and I need a power supply to go with it. I don't have much experience with power supplies. What should I be looking for in terms of specs of the power supply? I know I need a 400+watt power supply, other than that I don't know much. What are good reliable brands? I was considering these three:

On some of my windows, I get little black lines(dashes) in them. When I scroll up or down they either go away, or new ones replace the older ones. If the window is colored dark, they show up as white lines(dashes). I just upgraded my video card. Is there something I can do? Has anyone ever experienced this? I have an Nvidia card, and a dell 20 in. monitor using the dvi cable.

There is an old computer emulator I use frequently that runs under DOS. The sound worked fine on my Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card under Windows ME, but since upgrading to XP, the sound is now noisy and unclear. Oddly enough, the same program runs fine on my laptop under XP. The laptop has a built in Altec Lansing sound card. Would changing to a non-Sound Blaster card that is 5.1 compatible in my desktop computer possibly clear up this problem?

I am SICK TO DEATH of my Dell XP MCE and I wanted to get Windows XP Pro - WITHOUT the MCE, unfortunately microsoft can't do it without totally wiping out my hard drive and reformatting my laptop.

So I guess my only other alternative is Vista Premium. But my question is will Vista wipe out my current hard drive? I want to keep everything in tact! I just got this laptop reformatted because of a virus and it cost $$$ and lots of time and I don't want to go through the hassle.

My drive is already partitioned because of the reformat from the virus? So how can I keep everything on my laptop? I HAVE to get XP MCE off my laptop! All my audio drivers etc aren't working right because of the compatibility issues. I checked on my hardware and there are updated drivers for Vista - now all I need to do is find a safe way to install Vista.

Is this at all possible or am I stuck with this F'd up Dell XP CME?

Thanks!

It's a generic Dell model that's about a year old now. I guess leaving it without a screen saver or hibernation killed it. How much would it cost to fix it because it won't turn on at all. If it's too expensive, how much is a lower end replacement model?

Hi. Recently, when I go to turn on my laptop, the screen has black and white lines through it. When I plug it into an external monitor, it works. But I cant continue to use the external monitor since Im on the go quite often... Any ideas on what this might be?
