I just took an older computer with windows 98 on it and put 2000 on it.Now when i try to open certain programs like .dll files and things like that,i get a box that pops up and says “open with” and it lists a few programs that came with 2000,like note pad,internet explorer, a few other basic programs,and a few basic programs/software that i just added myself.When i get the “open with” box i click on just about every thing thats in there and still cant open it.Is there a program that i need to download so i can use these programs?Also,now that i put windows 2000 on this comp,it has basically nothing on it,not even “java runtime environment”.What are some basics that i should get?I already added java,quicktime,and a few others,what else should i get?Thanks!

Reformat Windows Xp Problem?
Thursday, February 4th, 2010how come when i try to reformat my windows xp it says
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time(happens all the time) you’ve seen this stop error screen restart your computer (which i did reappears again). If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check for virus on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drives controllers. Check your hard drive Run chkdsk/f to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Windows Xp Blue Screen Of Death. Specifics Included In Question. Help?
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010I recently got a blue error message. I believe it was the Blue Screen Of Death (not the “Windows has encountered an error and will be shut down” message), and these are the specifics it gives me:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
(and here are the hex addresses it give me under technical information)
*** STOP: 0×000000D1 (0×00000018,0×00000002,0×00000000,0×0xF8…
*** iastor.sys – Address F813125D base at F8122000, DateStamp 422f3bcc
I know a few things about computers. I have a somewhat understanding of how hex works, and those hex values look like addresses. I believe they are literally the source of the problem. I believe my computer was accidentally shut down mid-update, or there might have been a program or driver (or possibly even a virus) that could have interfered with a Windows update and caused it to shut down without finishing said update. Also, I can’t start Safe Mode, I get a string of messages that read like this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WI… sys driver here*
It stops with the sys driver on agpCPQ.sys.
In other words, Windows won’t even start up. I know the operating system still exists on the computer because the logo pops up when I try to boot it normally. Plus, system restore doesn’t work; it just restarts my computer.
If anybody can tell me a possible way to fix this problem it would be wonderful. I do have two computers (both running XP) but I’m working on my masters degree and all my homework is on the broken computer. Its all due in just two days so I need help immediately!
Remember, I have two computers both running XP, so if there is a way I can use my working computer to fix my broken one then include that in your answer please. Thank you.
(Closing note, I don’t have the start-up disc.)
”windows Cannot Find ‘ctfnom.exe’. ”this Error Mssg Appears When I Log In.how Can I Get Rid Of This Error?
Monday, February 1st, 2010ctfnom.exe is a virus. The original file by windows is called ctfmon.exe.
What most likely happened is that your anti virus deleted the file and now whenever you restart, windows tries to load the file but cant find it.
Click start, select run and type in “regedit” without quotes and press enter.
Once the window opens select edit from the toolbar and click find.
Type ctfnom.exe in the find box and when it comes up just delete the entry. There may be more than 1 references so press F3 to look for the next reference once you delete the first. keep doing this until you have search the entire registry then restart.
