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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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".

xp still acting up?

i’m running xp home (unfortunately) and i actually have this problem on my laptop and my parents computer. i am not able to open up folders, ie my computer, control panel, etc. i’m also not able to open up IE or AIM or shut down via the start menu, i’ve got to hold the button down for a bit before it shuts down. i’ve defragged both computers a few days ago and just recently installed a registry cleaner. any thoughts? thanks

How do I uninstall programs not in Control Panel?

November 1, 2009

Some time ago I had a huge problems with adware, spyware, and a trojan. 3 of the programs I used for diagnostics and removal were Hijackthis, DSS (Decker Security System), and Smitfraudfix (the program not the malware). None of them are listed under the Start Menu along with an uninstall tab, nor are they populated under add/remove new software. I want to remove the whole programs not just the shortcuts so I can reclaim the memory. Can anyone help this computer moron?
