How to fix my INCREDIBLY slow computer?

November 23, 2009

It all happened when I installed bitdefender antivirus on my laptop. But it didn’t scan and it was slow down my laptop so i removed it. But now the laptop doesn’t seem to be working. It can open start but can’t do anything apart from that.
my laptop has 1gb ram and a 2.2ghz cpu and this never happened when I had norton antivirus and kaspersky

Why did “Modify, repair, or remove” appear on my Windows XP Start Menu?

November 17, 2009

It showed up there during or after installing either Kaspersky AV 9 or Adobe Reader 9. Both packages were among the first software installed on a new Dell Latitude notebook. The next time I opened the Start Menu, "Modify, repair, or remove" had been added to the lower programs list immediately after "Adobe Reader 9".

I got a virus (XP 2009 antivirus) on my computer. What do I do now?

After i got the virus I downloaded Kaspersky’s internet Protection suite. Ran a registry cleaner and daily scans to clean my computer. I still have a problem with the computer shutting down in the middle of a search or every page i search gets redirected to another site.

No Sound after Windows XP Repair Install?

June 30, 2009

We had a virus problem last month. Our Kaspersky 6.0 wasn’t able to detect the virus because it’s not updated, we didn’t have internet connection until last week. The virus had corrupted important files of some applications and we ended up having trouble installing new softwares, so we then decided to repair the OS using the Windows installation CD. It went well. Programs are now running smoothly and we’re able to install new softwares. But here’s the problem: WMP cannot play audio files. We get this error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning properly." Volume control is also missing from the system tray. In the Device Manager, there’s a yellow exclamation mark on "Realtek High Definition Audio". We installed Realtek Driver from the mobo CD — No go. Got an onboard audio. Mobo is ECS 671T-M. Help please…
Thank you for all the response! I appreciate it! But we still got the same problem after installing the driver from the Realtek website. If this might help, here are the things under "Sound,Video and Game Controllers" in our Device Manager:
– Audio Codecs
– Audio Codecs
– Legacy Audio Drivers
– Legacy Video Capture Devices
– Media Control Devices
– Realtek High Definition Audio ** (with a yellow excamation mark)
– Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device
– Video Codecs

I’m not sure if one of these is causing the problem… Do you think I should uninstall/remove all of them and reinstall Realtek?
