acuariano said:well i'm still waiting for a response for microsoft..now..i did a "windows repair"..and when it was installing it brought me to errors one for outlook express[that i never use]and the other one for "windows update" c:\windows\system32\inetcomm.dll . maybe damage or corrupted.. ok when it brought windows back,, SP2 was deleted..i installed the SP2 and got another error message..it couldn't installed "service pack2 setup error" windows xp has been partially updated and may not work properly...i log onto windows update ,,it takes some time..and then i get "error#0x8007005" the website has encountered a problem and can not display the page you're trying to view.
so i'm going from back to worse..what can i do..i think that if i get a fresh copy,,i'll get the same error about windows update..oh.i'll bring this to the technician..last STEP
note:..also now i had problems opening my WORD program,,nero...and limewire..
1. are you using IE?
2. it look like they are locking your computer for a bootleg key. you are describing the symptoms here. they have lock legit computers in the past
if it is no.2 you would have to use powermax that in my signature to wipe the hard drive clean and start over
also copy your dell drivers for C\dell folder before you reformat
you need to learn how to slipstream sp2 into a xp disc. google autostreamer.
PS zonealarm has this vector thing, so even if you turn ZA off it will still block stuff. the purpose of this was so no hacker could disable your firewall
