help

suddenly i cant install any programs in my computer beacuse my video card f**ked up i dont know the reasons.. is says like this
"16 bit WIndow SUbsystem"
"C:\WIndows\system32\autoe xex.nt. The system file is now suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows application. Choos 'CLose' to terminate the application.. i also try switching the video modes and switching the color quality to true color.. i really dont know what to do.. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP

 

that doesnt sound like a problem with the graphics card to me but if your mobo has built in graphics try booting up the pc without your grfx card in and the monitor plugged to the motherboard to see if you still get the same problem

if you do try doing a system restore (if you have win xp) or reinstalling windows

Also let me know the specs of your system (processor, motherboard etc)

 

CPU :Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz 2660 MHz
RAM size :494.73 MB
OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

syncmaster 753Df(X)/703df(x), syncmaster magic cd173a(t) on intel(R) 82865G graphics controller

i think all of this happens when my sister tried to install the dvd shrink.. then she tried to burn some movies but she didnt know the we dont have a dvdr instead we have a cdr.. nxt the nxt day the screen fuk up.. i dont know if this is the reason though?

 

sounds like windows got corrupted try this:

adaware
system mechanic
avast anti-virus

they are all free....peace

 

it may be that your sis has infected your pc with a virus or some spyware when trying to install dvd shrink. you should try doing a system restore. you do this by going to

start> all programs> accessories> system tools> system restore

that will bring up a window that gives you the option to either create a restore point or restore your computer to an earlier time

select the option to restore your computer and pick a restore point off the calender (id reccomend goin to one of the "system checkpoints" from any date before your pc screwed up) then just let it run its course.

all being well when the whole process is complete evrything should be fine

hope this helps

 

Sounds to me like Windows got corrupted and maybe your video drivers where affected.

Right Click My Computer> Properties> Hardware Tab> Device Manager> On the drop down list can you see anything with a little yellow exclamation mark on it?

Or it might be a good idea to pop in your Windows CD and run a repair.

can i sys restore it even that happens for a month now?

 

Run a windows repair m8.
Pop in your cd, reboot, hit delete to enter the bios, Change primary boot device to CD, Save Changes, Reboot, Hit enter to start installation, then hit F8, then R for repair.
Should take like 35minutes

 

yes system restore can take you back as far as the furthest restore point which may be from the day you bought the pc. Give it a try youd be amazed how often it works and it really is the simplest solution to most of these kind of problems.

it only takes about 10 mins max for the whole process

thanks but there's a problem... sys restore is like a roll back ryt? so if i do that on certain point.. what will happen to to all the things that ive install after

 

gone!!!! u have to rinstall them...

 

u jus ave 2 reinstall any progs beyond that date but if you have the installers they will stay on your system. you wont lose any work or anythin u downloaded

 

alternatively

boot from xp disc
choose repair
choose o/s
press enter for admin
type chkdsk /r thats chkdsk space /r
this takes about an hour and checks and replaces corupted windows files
mostly means all the gear you've installed is still there

 

thats funny...i write corrupted and everybody follows behind...had to write that so funny...lmao...peace

 

you can do a repair

but its a lot less time consuming and a whole lot easier to system restore

yeah i see a exclamation mark now after i used sys restore how do i fix it now?

 

Simply double click on the driver in device manager and update searching windows update.
If that doesn't find the driver then tell me ur motherboard model and ill find u the drivers
