How can I repair WINDOWS Xp without reinstalling the entire operating system?????!!!!
Okay, i was doing some computer cleaning, deleting junk files, uninstalling, etc… then when i restarted my computer, my operating system, windows xp media center, the whole interface was lost. in other words, i cant see my desktop start menu, everything was reseted as if it was in safe mode and the whole GUI, graphical user interface stopped working. SO i cant copy my files or other things that i want to save before i would install the whole operating system all over again. SO BASICALLY I THINK THAT THERE IS A REGISTRY ERROR OF SOME KIND AND I CANT CLICK, COPY, CUT, ERASE, OR ANYTHING, NOT EVEN START ETC. How can i repair the system, i already tried system restore but it gives me an error that it is corrupted. I think of either using recovey console in windows when ou boot it up, BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE THAT!!! PLEASE HELP !!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Video Thumbnail in Windows XP?

December 13, 2009

I am facing a similar problem on my Windows XP Home Edition SP3.

The thumbails for all types of pictures are generating, but not for any videos including .wmv .avi .mpg. I don’t know since when this is happening, I observed this recently.

I was using Windows Media Player 11, KMPlayer v2.9.4, K-Lite Mega Codec Pack v5, Format Factory v2, Nero Vision (Nero 8). I had uninstalled these softwares and then reinstalled them one by one as I was testing thumbnails between every installation, but even though nothing worked out.

I tried to correct it by going to Windows Explorer’s Folder Options and the restoring the defaults and applying it to all folders. I cleaned my tracks, junk files, registry issues using Ccleaner & Wise Registry Cleaner. But nothing really worked out.

Please Help !!!

how can i make my windows vista pc run faster?

ok. so i did some looking around. and downloaded some programs. and so far i have tried avast antivirus, avira antivirus, and avg antivirus and have come up with no virus results. i have also tried some spyware programs and have not had any spyware threats on my comp. i have tried to use glary utilities to clean my registry and remove junk files . this makes it worse. i have used ccleaner and that did absolutely nothing. have defragged my system even tho it said it didnt need defragged. and have advanced windows care installed.

some people have told me that the problem with my computer is that i download and install too many programs and have too many things running in the background. i have since uninstalled a lot of programs and have had no improvement.

is there anything short of reinstalling the OS, that i can do with my computer to clean up junk files, or find what the problem is? right now it takes 5 min to open a new tab in firefox. and i have maxed at 3,000 page faults/s
