I have an HP desktop computer (with XP on it), and I'm having some issues with it.

Yesterday, it was being very weird -- not letting you click on anything, freezing in the middle of doing nothing. Then all of a sudden, an error popped up on startup, saying the shell32.dll file couldn't be found. After that, Windows won't start, and I can't even get it to start in safe mode without the error coming up.

Is this useless, and is my harddrive irrepairably corrupted? When I called the tech support line, their only suggestion was to re-install Windows, but in any event lose everything I have on there. Help!

i have just got a new computer a faulty one it doesn't work it wont display anything either so i moved my processor over and my graphics card and 1 of my ram sticks to it to test it and still nothing so i move them back and now my working computer will not display anything either so i got a new processor to see if that solved the problem it id definitely booting because i can feel the hard drive spinning and i have tried it without that particular ram card in it .

So it must be my graphics card i guess but this has an arctic cooling fan on it and this still works which is powered through the card so there is obviously power going through it

i cant work it out any help would be appreciated cos im going nuts

thanks

I want to donate my old computer but I have somethings on there that I don't really want others to see. Can I ruin the hard drive by running a magnet over it? I have heard that you can't delete things permently from a hard drive. That a professional can find it.

I have installed a new hard drive as the Master and I installed my crashed hard drive as the Slave. I booted up the computer and looked under My Computer hoping to see the other hard drive, but it was not showing up. As the computer was booting up the old drive was making noise and it seemed like the internal parts were moving.

How do I get my computer to recognize the Slave drive(I do have the jumpers set correctly)???

I've got something crazy on my computer. I'm trying to open my disk drive [C:\] simply by double-clicking it. It shows me the Open With...... Dialog Box to choose from the list of softwares on my computer. How the hack will I be able to change it? I've tried changing it from the
"Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types -> Drive - Advanced"
thing. Searched all over the net. Now I'm asking you people and counting on at least "ONE-OF-YOU".
Thank You.

I had a custom made computer for my kids at Christmas. Someone took down the firewall and it became infected with several viruses. I finally removed all of them, but the damage to the computer seems to be with the OS systems and missing drivers. So there is no manufactures restore cd. I had a compaq that came with that, and it was nice. But I'm stuck at what to do.
1. The only way to gain access to the internet is to create an new administrator and you will have brief access and then it can't seem to do anything. I was told by the guy that built the tower to wipe the hard drive and reload everything. I'm not sure how to wipe it, or fdisk it. I assume the drivers are on the motherboards CD or is that the bios? I have the OS XP cd. I also obtained a cd from Western Digital which is what the hard drive is. I also need the order in which you reload the software. PLEASE HELP.. I can not afford to pay someone $175 to do this. So I would be very grateful for anyone's help. TY
