How do I get rid of a pop-up associated with a program I had on my computer?

October 18, 2009

I had installed Business Pro and then removed it using the Add/Remove Programs — I also cleaned out the registry. But the Windown Installer pop-up keeps coming back when I visit certain websites that have a lot of pop-ups. It asks for Windows Installer and the original disk — I do not have this. I use Windows XP Home Edition and clean my laptop using Ad-Aware and another registry cleaner — this is of no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s really annoying and the pop-up only goes away after I hit cancel at least three times!

Windows XP install wont load past a certain point, can you help me?

October 1, 2009

Its a laptop, that had some kind of Windows test version, I guess the one right before they came out with Vista, because that’s what it looks like. It says "Windows 2007 Test version only". So I was just gonna get rid of it. I have a New Windows I wanted to load onto it.

It boots alright, starts to load some of the drivers, get to the screen where it asks you if you want to repair press x, install press ENTER.

Before I have the time to press install, the whole thing shuts down.
Every time.

Can you help me?

The stats:
Computer = Compaq Presario V2000
Software = Windows XP Home Edition (not a rip, store bought)
lol Can you explain how to do that innnnnn Simple Terms?

But its also not Vista. Its a Test Version of Windows 2007, that looks and acts like Vista. It says on the bottom of the screen

"Windows 7
For testing purposes only. Build 7000"
Also, the laptop may have a nasty virius from the previous owner. It shuts off if I boot from CD, but also Ive found, if I do disk clean up, the laptop will shut down as well. I think theres something protecting it self. Am I crazy lol

Desperately need Samsung SN-124 CD ROm Driver??

September 28, 2009

Anyone know where I can download the samsung sn-124 cd rom driver for free? I accidently deleted important system files using a freeware registry cleaner and now my cd rom driver is missing and it won’t let me do a system restore. I have tried uninstalling the driver and restarting and windows XP Home can’t find the driver. Here is the error code under device manager: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
That worked perfect, thanks!

What Is A Registry Clean?? Should I Clean My registry?

September 4, 2009

Okay well my pc is having problems(details below) & i got some recomendations to do a registry clean. I have ccleaner, & i dont know if i should delete what it detects under the registry clean? Should I? Will anything bad happen to my pc? Thanks

Pc Details-
Okay, I close everything down, and then I go to Start, & click shut down, then that little window appears with the options of turn off, restart, & stand by. So I click Turn off, & once i do that, it goes to the shutting down screen-"Windows is logging off…"-like that. But then 5 second later, instead of turning off, it goes back to my desktop. Then I wait 15 more seconds & A "End Program Now" window appears with the progress bars for 1.5 seconds then dissapears. & then after all that my pc just freezes, everything is frozen, even ctrl alt dlte. Does Someone know what to Do?? Is it a registry problem? Should I try ccleaner, what?? I have to hold down the power button in the end to turn it off. So Any one???? –I Have Windows Xp Home
