I am trying to uninstall Norton to my system to change it to a different version.

After uninstalling, I made a reboot, but this error appears.

 Autochk program not found – skipping AUTOCHECK

This is the first time I've seen this. I kept rebooting, but it keeps on relooping and I can't access my windows. My computer would not even boot to safe mode, or it did not accept the recovery disk either.

My problem with this computer is, when I open it, I got stuck with the welcome screen of windows vista with the loading bar. The loading bar stops and then the whole system will froze, and I have no choice but to reboot again by pressing the power button on my CPU. I try to repair it by using the recovery disk, but it won't work.

I tried reformatting my system with a clean install, but I can't seem to get out of this loading bar.

I recently updated my Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 to Service Pack 3. After successfully installing the updates, the computer prompts to reboot my system, after rebooting, Blue Screen Stop Error flashed to my screen with stop error code: STOP: 0x0000007E.

I cannot run my windows since this error keeps appearing every time I restarted my computer. But I can access my windows normally if I booted to safe mode.

My computer was recently attached by a virus that destructs my system, so I decided to reformat for me to start anew.

Everything else is going great except for one. My sound system does not work.

I am using a Windows XP Service Pack 2 machine and a Realtek device.

I do not know if I missed anything right after the reformat, but I am sure that the Realtek Audio driver was installed already.

I have checked the Device Manager, and it shows that my Audio device is working properly, but when I clicked on the volume control, it is grayed out.

Checked the Sound and Audio Devices and it is grayed out as well.

Need help please.

Its' always been my option to use system restore when something messing up with my computer but the only idea I have regarding system restore is it will let you go back to your last configuration settings. I want to know more what actually happen when I use it.

Here’s my question:

1. Does using system restore make changes to my installed program which are installed after I set my restore point?

2. What is the thing that is being restored when I use it?

Hi,

Here are my computer's specs:

Windows XP Home Service Pack 32-Bit OS

Motherboard: Gateway

RAM: 4 GB DDR

Audio Sound Card: SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

Graphics Card: Intel(R)

HDD: 300 GB

Error message: A disk read error occurred

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to Restart

My computer crashes whenever it goes to the hibernate option. I have found this problem only with Windows Vista Operating system. Since I have been using Windows XP, recently I have upgraded to Windows Vista.

When I try to browse using my Internet connection at my home, I frequently get a message stating that, Cookies need to be enabled for the website to be opened.

Is there anything I need to do with the Internet connection that I have. Or is this a kind of error message that am getting? I have no idea on what it is. Looking for a solution for this problem. Could someone help me? Would be very thankful for your time.

Hi,

Some days back I have installed Windows 7 on my computer. Before that I had Windows XP on it. After installing Windows 7, I made sure everything, including my wireless network works fine with it. But after some days I found that my computer was not able to connect to my router. It is able to connect to all the other unsecured networks and to say I am a good time user of the computer, but not too technically sound in troubleshooting it.

So could anyone provide me a solution please?
