2009-01-12T18:50:00.000+05:30

When the computer is booted, everything looks fine initially with all the Desktop icons and the Task bar. The programs appear to be running fine. But all the icons and task bar disappears suddenly. Then it all reappears and this process continues without letting the user to perform any tasks. This problem recurs always when the computer is booted.

When the computer is booted windows xp loads and the wallpaper also appears but there are no icons or the task bar that appears.

explorer.exe is a process which is registered as a trojan. This Trojan allows attackers to access your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system.Determining whether explorer.exe is a virus or a legitimate Windows process depends on the directory location it executes or runs from.The explorer.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows. In other cases, explorer.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!(W32.MyDoom.B)

By removing this process the graphical interface for Windows will disappear. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer.This is the user shell, which we see as the familiar taskbar, desktop, and so on. This process isn't as vital to the running of Windows as you might expect, and can be stopped (and restarted) from Task Manager, usually with no negative side effects on the system.

INTERNET TROUBLE SHOOTING DSL PART3-dsl link

2008-07-05T09:43:00.000+05:30

“DSL LINK” (sometimes marked “ADSL” or “WAN”) should be lit solid. The DSL Link light will flash when the router is trying to connect to your DSL service. In most cases, it should take less than 30 seconds for your DSL router to connect and display a solid light. If the DSL link light continues to flash, try the following:

With the exception of your DSL router, ensure that all devices plugged into the phone line, including fax machines, satellite receivers, and alarm systems, have a DSL line filter on them. These filters prevent interference with your DSL signal. The DSL router should be the only unfiltered device on the phone line.

In case of PPOE login into the modem and check if the PPPOE id password are correct.

More information on logging into the modem and PPPOE will be posted later

The phone cable coming from your DSL Router should plug directly into the wall outlet. Try bypassing any splitters or other devices as they can sometimes cause interference with your DSL signal. We suggest you remove and re-plug the phone cable into the DSL Router and the wall jack to ensure the cable is plugged in securely. The cable should ‘click’ when it is pushed into place
Try moving the DSL Router along with it's power supply and phone cable to a different telephone wall jack. There may be internal wiring issues causing problems with a specific wall jack or group of wall jacks at your location.
With your DSL Router turned off, check the phone line for line noise. Audible phone line noise might be interfering with your DSL signal. If you hear snaps or static when making a phone call, it is likely that the phone company will need to repair your wiring or the wiring in your house will need to be checked.
Running your DSL Router directly into the telephone Network Interface Device (NID) can eliminate the possibility of inside wiring issues. Please contact our technical support department for information on how to do this.

INTERNET TROUBLE SHOOTING DSL PART2--OTHER DEVICES

2008-07-01T09:29:00.006+05:30

Remove Any Inrtermediate Devices

If possible, remove any Inrtermediate devices that sit between your computer and the DSL router.

They may be

Hubs

Wireless routers

Network switches

Vonage phones

VOIP phones

Wired Routers etc........

Connect your computer directly into the DSL router so that you can eliminate the

possibility that another device on your network is causing the problem.

INTERNET TROUBLE SHOOTING DSL PART1 POWER RELATED PROBLEMS

2008-06-30T09:02:00.005+05:30

Restart the Computer

It seems trivial, but you should always begin troubleshooting computer problems by rebooting your computer! This is particularly important if your computer has worked fine in the past and only just began to give problems.

Reboot DSL Router

Rebooting the router causes it to re-synchronize the DSL signal and the network connection to your computer.
Turn the DSL Router off and unplug the power cord of it. Then wait 30 seconds
Plug the powercord back into the DSL Router and turn it on. Wait another 30 seconds

Power LED Status
Check the status of the LED lights located on the front panel of the DSL modem. “POWER” or “PWR” should be lit solid. If the power light is unlit or is flashing, tryhe following:
Ensure that the power supply is plugged in securely, both at the wall outlet and at the back of the DSL router
You may need to try a different wall outlet.

SLIPSTREAMING SP2 INTO XP CD

2008-06-15T14:01:00.003+05:30

Slipstreaming a Service Pack, is the process to integrate the Service Pack into the installation so that with every new installation the Operating System and Service Pack are installed at the same time.

Microsoft added the ability to Slipstream a Service Pack to Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It not only has the advantage that when you (re)install your OS, you don't have to apply the Service Pack later, also if you update any Windows component later, you'll be sure that you get the correct installation files if Windows needs any.

Download the "Network Install" of the Service Pack (English version [266 MB]), and save it to a directory (folder) on your hard drive (in my case E:\XP-SP2).AVOID using spaces in the folder name!

Next copy your Windows XP CD to your hard drive. Just create a folder (I used E:\XP-CD), and copy all the contents of your Windows XP CD in that folder.

SLIPSTREAMING SP2 INTO XP CD STEP2

2008-06-14T14:11:00.002+05:30

Next, open a Command Prompt

(Start > Run > cmd), and go to the folder where you downloaded SP2 (E:\XP-SP2).

Type the command: servicepack filename /integrate:drive/path.

In my example the command is WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU /integrate:E:\XP-CD.

SLIPSTREAMING SP2 INTO XP CD STEP 3

2008-06-13T14:32:00.000+05:30

First, the files will be extracted, and next they will be integrated in your Windows XP files:

When ready, you should get a confirmation. Windows XP Service Pack 2 has now been Slipstreamed into your original Windows XP files.

FIXING UP INVALID PAGE FAULTS

2008-06-10T23:02:00.002+05:30

An invalid page fault is caused when the operating system or a software program attempts to store or call a segment or block of the computer's memory that does not exist. Because of the invalid call, the program will generate an invalid page fault error message and terminate the program or process to prevent additional issues.
There are several reasons a computer may generate an Invalid Page fault error. Below are few of those possibilities.
Incompatibility or issue with the software programs.

Issues with the computer memory.

Delete all program temporary files

Delete all temporary files that may still be residing on the hard disk drive from currently or previously running programs.
Run Scandisk / Defrag
Attempt to run scandisk / defrag on the hard disk drive as it could be possible your hard disk drive may have an issue causing the swap file or data files to become corrupt or invalid
Update software or check for software patches
If you are experiencing invalid page faults in only one program, verify that the software program is compatible with the operating system you are running the program within. Also verify with the manufacturer or vendor of the software program that there are no available patches or updates for the program that may help or resolve your issue.
Recently installed software / hardware
If you have recently installed new software or hardware, attempt to uninstall or reinstall that software / hardware to verify it is not causing your issue.
Bad Memory, invalid bits or physically bad memory
It is possible that bad memory can cause Illegal Operations. If you have recently added memory to the computer it is recommended that it first be removed to verify that you are not experiencing conflictions with the recently installed memory.

Memory Upgrade to Speed -up your PC

Memory upgrades is the cheapest upgrade that you can make to improve your computers performance.

REPAIRING A SCRATCHED DVD

2008-06-05T21:35:00.002+05:30

Scratches on a disc are a common issue with children these days. They play games continuously and recklessly running the same disk over and over again. This excessive usage of a particular DVD can damage it in the form of scratches or gauges. Though the players are well adapted to regular use. They are remarkably resistant to casual scratches. It may cause a CD player to skip or in case of DVD show odd video artifacts. While players are remarkably durable it is impossible to prevent it from scratches and scuffs from occurring from time to time. So there must be adequate measure too to keep some control on such misuse. There are various processes to repair scratched DVD may be temporarily or permanently. Though at times if it is hard damage it may be not remediable. The extent of repair possible depends on the amount of damage caused to the disc.

To repair the DVD first of all we need to thoroughly check it by ourselves. We need to see if the scratch is beyond repairing by holding the disc up to light. The light should not be very harsh, as it would spoil the disc. If the light can be seen passing through the scratch then the disc is permanently destroyed and cannot be fixed.
If the scratches are not too deep, we might make an attempt at fixing the ailment temporarily. Scratches on the upper label surface are impossible to repair but the shiny playing side of the disc is curable. As a hard and fast rule a CD should be cleaned with thin linen only. Water can also be used to lend a helping hand. If the process produces no results we have a secondary option of polishing the disc with toothpaste, which should be paste not gel in its form. Then cleaning with a wet and clean linen cloth will do. The thing worth remembering is we must not try cleaning by rubbing in circles but from inside the ring of the disc towards the outer edge. The repairing of the disc also depends on the amount of damage caused to it. As the scratches on the label side can prove to be a death sentence for them because most discs do not have an additional protective coating on the label side. Applying a layer of thin wax used in automobiles can also be helpful in polishing the disc and can smoothen the scratches to make it audible or visible. We can give it to a music shop to repair it. Sometimes they remove the upper coating of the disc removing the light scratches and lightening the deep gouges. This helps us restore our discs in the safe form to be played again. But if these methods are not effective then there is only the method of repairing kits and polishes or disc refinishing machines, left to try. These are available at game shops where they can industrially repair the disc in a mechanical way.
It has also been seen sometimes that there are differences from one disc player to another in the sensitivity to damaged discs. They can handle scratches better than others. Computer CD drives best handle this. If all these methods prove ineffective then the disc is not worth a repair and has to be forgone. It can be used no further if not repaired by any of these methods. If it still plays on abruptly we can keep it or destroy it according to our wishes.
