I wish I knew .... that's exactly what I'm trying to find out. If you have any ideas, let me know. I might add, the laptop does function normally during this "noisey" period so it really isn't a problem as much as it is an annoyance.

I do know that "highjack this" is a "program". I am samiliar with it. My stupidity does extend that far. I did download the program but when I tried to install it all I got was a series of error messages. I downloaded it a second time and tried to install it again but with the same result. Can...

Pardon my stupidity, but what do you mean by "Post a hijack this log"?? I have no idea what you're talking about!

When I boot up my Sony laptop PC it takes about 15 to 20 minutes after it's been fully booted up before it stops accessing the hardrive as evidenced by the continuous clicking sound. This happens even if I don't touch anything on the laptop during this time. It seems as though some program is...

Woops ... I neglected to click "explore all users" rather than just "explore". When doing so, all the program shortcuts were listed. Sorry about that. Problem solved.

Thanks for the reply Osiris. I checked out the ling in your reply and did as instructed at the web link Vista Tips, and when I click on Explore it brings up a Start Menu Explorer, but only a few items listed in the Start Menu are shown there. There are many more shortcuts listed in the Start...

Does anybody know how to organize the "All Programs" in Windows Vista. In XP you had to merely right click on the task bar, select the start tab, click advance, and it would display all the programs included in Start Menu. You could then create new program categories and drag a drop whatever...

Thanks for the reply Makaveli213. This sounds reasonable. However, why does this happen every time ... is there always a problem connecting to the mail server every time I boot up my computer? Why does this not happen when I use my laptop computer which uses the same email client connection and...

When shutting down my computer I get a popup window called DDE Server Window and it states "program not responding". It offers the option to "end task". It eventually closes by itself so I normally ignore it. My computer is a 7-month old Sony Vaio running Windows XP with Service Pac 2. Does...

Approximately 2 to 3 minutes after my computer is fully booted up I get a popup window that asks me to log in to my Outlook Express mail client. I am using two separate identities of which one is password protected so when I intentionally launch Outlook Express it askes me to log in. This is...

Thanks for the reply Warez Monster. I downloaded and ran "Hijack This" and located the files you mentioned above. Problem solved !! Thanks again. Jim

Thanks for the reply Shawn .... negative .... no such files listed in startup.

Recently, when I boot up my laptop computer I get the following error messages. Error Loading E6F1873B.DLL Error Loading DOCEOC16B1 After clicking "OK", in each window, the bootup completes without any further problem and the laptop functions as normal. I have conducted several google searches...

I recently had my desktop computer re-formatted and Windows XP operating system re-installed. Everything is working well. However, unlike before, the computer does not shut down automatically when I click start, turn off computer, turn off. Now when I go through the same procedure it eventually...
