This is an antique system, but it's the one I prefer using, so I hope it's so old that everyone knows how to solve problems in it. Modified hp Pavilion 325c HDD almost all other hardware changed years ago WinXPH-SP3, auto updates Spybot auto updates auto scans scheduled Avast auto updates auto scans scheduled CCleaner auto I rarely boot the machine, but last night it seemed slower than normal, so before bed, I booted. I barely noticed the pending update symbol on the shutdown menu, and just hit restart before immediately turning the monitor off. I had just been browsing forums like this as usual (no other installs in the past few days, or any ****/gaming/P2P sites), so I can't think of anything I did that would have caused a problem. This morning, I found a blank desktop with a warning window saying the procedure entry point ReleaseSRWLockExclusive could not be located in KERNEL32.dll . Clicking OK (the only option) brought an almost-identical warning, this time about ObjectStublessClient29 in ole32.dll . Clicking OK there causes the system to reboot. My BIOS appears normal. LastKnownGoodConfiguration produces exactly the same results. SafeMode does too. I can get into the repair console using a W2KP install disk, but I don't really know what to do once I'm there. Being familiar with the VERY early versions of DOS, I'm surprised the reported file sizes for C:io.sys, msdos.sys, and several other critical system files is reported as 0, and the TYPE command says they can't be opened, but IDK if that's a significant part of this problem. I never had an XP install disk for this machine since it was a used/return/clearance at my local Sam's Club. I've also found C:windowssystem32kernel32.dll and ole32.dll, and their reported filesizes are ~1M each. Kernel's date is '09, and ole's is '11, so they don't appear to have been replaced recently. There are several hidden subdirectories of C:recycler including nprotect (Isn't that a Norton folder? He's uninstalled.) containing a lot of .DLL files, but their names have been changed to numbers so I can't easily see if any of them is a previous version of the indicated files. I have to assume the Windows auto update caused this, but can you confirm it before I go thru the hassle of fighting MS over it? Is there an easier fix? I have a WinXPP-SP3 system, but it has been even slower over the past year or so, and I only use it for e-mail background music. Currently, I'm on a Vaio PCV-RS710G running WinXPH-SP3 (similar to the problem machine). It was bought new full-retail and hasn't been modded, but I can't remember if I have install disks for it. I have a Sony recovery DVD Ver.V128.0 for it. View this thread

I have a Windows 8 (x64) box that I get Access is Denied and error 0x80070005 when running the task. The task should run an EXE file. 1) This file runs fine on this computer if run directly from windows explorer instead of through scheduled tasks. 2) The same scheduled task runs fine from my Windows 7 (x64 and x86) and XP boxes. I've tried all 3 settings under &quotConfigure for:&quot, including Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Run with highest privileges is checked as well. I've also tried exporting the task to change the priority from 7 to 4. Any suggestions? Thanks! View the full article

Hi everyone, I have recently installed Windows 8 (RTM) and noticed that it generates thumbnail cache files locally (&quotThumbs.db&quot file created in the local folder, as it used to be with Windows XP) instead of keeping the thumbnail caching features centralized as was the case with Windows Vista/7 (e.g. in the %LocalAppData%MicrosoftWindowsExplorer folder for Windows 7). Is there any way to change the thumbnail caching feature backed to a centralized fashion (e.g. by keeping some thumbcache*.db files somewhere in the user folder)? Some registry values changes, maybe? Just a couple of things: I am talking about a LOCAL folder (no network share with write access) and I do not want to disable thumbnail caching or to hide system files as some people might suggest.

I have a projector with an HDMI input. I ran a cable from my Windows Vista pc video card from the DVI output to the HDMI input of my projector. Windows will not recognize it and the projector wont recognize that there is an output signal on the DVI port. I plugged my regular LCD monitor in the same port and it works fine. The problem is that for my regular LCD monitor i want to use the RGB connection and use the DVI for my projector. Can someone help ? View this thread

I am having a video problem with my Sony Vaio Laptop Model VPCEB490X that I just installed Windows 8 Pro on (Core I-5, 8 GB Ram, 320 Solid State Drive, ATI Mobility Readeon 5650, upgraded from Windows 7 Pro). Video will not play except in VLC. I have tried the following programs: Cyberlink Power DVD 12 Corel WinDVD Pro 11 Corel WinDVD 10 and Nero 12. None of these programs will play either a DVD, a Bluray or video encoded as a Media Center file. Further, Media Center does not play any video either. All these programs do is play the audio. The only programs that do work with video and audio are Real Player using its own format, Itunes using its own format, VLC media player (but no Bluray support) and Netflix in either a browser window or in Media Center. I have reinstalled my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Series drivers from the Sony support site (as instructed by AMD) and the newest AMD Control Catalyst program from AMD. Plus I have also installed these drivers for Windows 7 compatibility and as the administrator as some have suggested. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Media Center as suggested by Microsoft. However, nothing works to get a Bluray or DVD to play in these programs or windows video to play in either Media Center or Metro under the video app. Any suggestions to fix this problem?
