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!

Why are 2 of my files not deleting after a disk clean up is run?

October 18, 2009

I run Windows XP and tonight when I did a disk clean up, which I do weekly, the Web Client/Publisher Temp Files and the Compressed Old Files did not convert back to 0, they remained at 32KB and 164KB. They have always converted back to 0 before. Does anyone know what’s going on here and how I can get these file to delete?

My mates windows wont startup HELP PLEASE?

October 16, 2009

Right my mates windows wont startup. It starts in the screen which says "start windows normally, safe mode, last good configuration".

He says the computer restarts after the windows loading screen , whichever option he chooses.

He did not reinstall any hardware yesterday (when it was working )

the only software he can think of that was installed was his dad installing a media player or something so he could listen to BBC radio 1, through the site.

Thats all the information I’ve got, ive advised repairing his windows installation/reinstalling windows, but have you lot got any better suggestions?
This is windows XP by the way 🙂
He cant do system restore….because windows wont startup
Anyone else available for answer?

the first answer just stated that he couldnt do anything else, and the second didnt know what they were talking about/hadnt read the question 🙁
