Another thing you might try is CHKDSK.
Here's how on an XP:

HI,I ran the CHKDSK and when i got to the end of it,it was gone before i had a chance to read all of is there any harm running again to catch what if anything was found on it.
I got a XP PROFESSIONAL INSTALL DISK should it come up on the screen right away, you know there are some days it is hard to get two brain cells to play well together.
My PC has not crashed lately,but it is just annoying that when you may see something that
may be wrong but does not really effect the running of the PC.(i.e. error code 1060)

 

I have been working with computers for over 50 years and it happens to all of us. LMAO

Go to Start > Run > enter " sfc /scannow " without the quotes in the box and click OK.

it will run and if it can't find a file it will ask you to insert the disk. At that point it will either find and install it or maybe tell you that the disk is not the correct system version or whatever... Don't hurt to try.. Any old port in a storm, I always say.

You would not have gotten anything out of the end of CHKDSK anyway it has done it's thing and if it helped, that's great.


Do the sfc /scannow thingy and let me know.

If you would have used step 3 of Tweaking.com it does the SFC/Scannow also.

 

yeah, but if you read tweaking.com had error message.. trying to find the problem by going through a window. LOL

need a disk to have access to the i386 cab file.

 

HI,JST1946,I tried step #3 but for some unknown reason can not get up and running it is
probably something simple & stupid i will go back into it and take notes and let you know
the sequence of events,thanks

 

He said he had a copy of Windows XP Professional in reply #23.

 

6 in one hand and half a dozen in the other lol
do you get a commission for promoting Tweaking.com?

 

No I sure don't.It worked for me that's why I suggested it.
I guess for the same reason you suggest all the other programs to help people out.lol

 

LOL, yeah, I know it works and I suggest it often, but when a simple command will work as well, if not better, then I suggest it.

 

its not a pc if it wont crash like every other week 8-9 times

 

Mine Don't..........

 

lol all the windows updates makes mine freak out hell its the only way i know its working

 

@JST1946, have you used step #2 in tweaking (CHKDSK)? I have tried it but doesn't seem to work.
may be a bug, I haven't posted anything with him yet. Waiting to see if it pops up on his site.

@deak91, you know there are ways to block all crap from getting into your computer, but if a new one does slip by there is a way to kill it without running any anti malware software and only takes about 7 or 8 minutes in my computer. As it is, I just love to get a Trojan or malware to see if I can defeat it... LAMO I very seldom get one but when I do I love to track it down and RUB IT OUT! LMAO

HI 2oldGeek,Well i did #2 got chkdsk to run got to the end it showed me what was done,but
it flashed off in about 2secounds so i could not see any good or bad about it.
Now that i have your attention you said you could block these annoying pop ups that i been getting please explain.
Also i checked with person that gave me this DELL E 521 and she thought you could upgrade it from 32bit to 64bit with the 64bit disk i have can you do this,thanks

 

HI,Well i fixed my GPU problem got the (GALAXY 61 TGS4HX2LTX Ge Force GT610 GC)from
WALMART cost about $48.00 and no waiting 3 months for reward card it seems to be working all right,i could have saved few bucks but did not want to put up with the reward card that would have taken about 3 months to get and if i have a problem with it i could go to
WALMART and exchange it maybe.
