Hi,

I received a second hand computer running on Vista from brother as he is now using a laptop.

Seems like the system is running fine, and I thought of that until I received a pop up.

I have right clicked my computer and clicked on manage, and the pop up that is asking me to login using the administrator.

Now, I do not know the admin password and my brother knows nothing about setting up an admin password before.

How can I get through this?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Okay, so I am currently doing a program check on my Vista computer. I need to clear up some space on my hard drive. I suddenly noticed a program that really eats up a lot of space.

In this regard, I would like to uninstall the program, however, it tells me that the program is currently in use and that I have to close it first. Everything was closed and even double checked it in task manager, but would not be uninstalled still.

Kindly help.

Hello!

I have checked my personal XP computer for some of the applications that are not necessary on my computer.

And, I have seen some that does not appear on my add/remove programs.

I have checked the software as well, and it does not contain any uninstallation pack.

How do I completely uninstall it?

Hey Guys,

I got a big problem with my Vista machine. I am trying to do a clean up on my computer. Unfortunately, I have used a shift + delete function and I have deleted one of the hidden files.

As of the moment, my computer is running smoothly, but I am worried that in the long run, I might get issue because of it. How do I deal with this? Can I get it back?

Thanks.

Hey Everyone,

My computer is operating in Vista and I got an issue with the command prompt. Every time I try to open it, it does not say a thing.

It just looks blank.

Blank Error on Command Prompt:

Please help me.

Hi,

We are having an issue with one of our software tools in our office PC. Pardon me, if I cannot specify the name of the tool, but actually it is not really the reason I posted.

Whenever the said software will not work on any of the profile, we have to do is to run the software in administrator, then once back on the normal user profile, it works. Now, it won’t even run on administrator. I am thinking this is related to administrator. Back profile I am seeing. Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am quite confused about what has happened with my computer. When I begin to restart or shutdown my PC, it takes about 2-3 minutes for “Saving your settings” to shutdown, and then another 15-20 seconds for windows.

This is not the only case; even my system takes about 2-3 minutes to boot and load. I have an HP Pavilion, Win SP2, Pentium 4, 2.6 GHz, 1024 Mb RAM and 80 GB Hard Drive. Help needed.

Thanks!

Hey there,

• I would like to ask help with my recently reformatted computer. My computer was attacked by virus, so I will need to reformat. From Windows 2000, I updated to Windows XP.
• I am happy with the new set up except that whenever it loads, the password screen would still come up even though I do not have a password.

Hi All,

I hope you can help me out.

I am having an issue loading my profile on my Windows XP computer.

Aside from the Administrator, there are two profiles in there.

One is my sister’s and the other is one is mine. My sister’s profile does not have an issue, while mine does.

I am seeing this error:

Cannot load locally stored profile

When I click on OK, I no longer see my stuff. What to do? Help.
