    Question about Unmountable boot volume

    in General Windows PC Help

    Posted

    He wont have a copy of that and I'm not sure what it is, I don't live that close to him so its via phone calls that I was trying to help him :(

    I don't think he will have much data to loose, he doesn't have many photos or films or music that I know of, he just uses the PC to browse and do a little online shopping so possibly any passwords he will have might be lost but I'm sure he can get those back.

    I think finding a copy is he only hope, he is phoning Dell in the morning to query it but I doubt they would send him a disc out free.

    Thanks for the help :)

    Question about Unmountable boot volume

    in General Windows PC Help

    Posted

    As I mentioned in another post my friend got this blue screen this morning saying "Unmountable boot volume", Googling this seems to come up with a fairly easy fix, that is insert the XP disc, but he cannot find it and as the PC is 6+ years old we are not sure that it came with a disc as its from Dell and sometimes they just preinstall it.

    Any way of fixing this without the disc or if he could get his hands of say a friends XP copy will that work or does it have to be his copy to match with the key?

    Thanks :)

    Thanks for the link, it might have been something else that broke it while he was trying to upgrade, his PC froze and crashed I think and now it has that issue but it might be something to do with it being a old machine, its 6+ years old now but its good to hear FF4 works on XP I will tell him and send him the link

    Thanks :)

    My friend was upgrading to FireFox v 4 and his PC crashed, he got a blue screen saying "Unmountable boot volume" which he got even in safe mode, I googled the anwser for him so he is now trying to find his disc to repair it but seeing as he runs XP I think I remember seeing on the FF site that v4 was for Vista upwards so that might be the reason it crashed? If so I need to find the old and latest v3. for him so it wont happen again.

    I have searched on the site but I don't seem to be able to see it, is it still available?

    Thanks. :)

    Hi a few days ago I changed the settings on my router to WEP and then a few hours later changed it back to WPA (though working out how to do this took time)

    My PC was not connected to the net at this time as it disconnected when the router was changed.

    But after this on start up things were either totally unresponsive or taking up to 30 mins to open.

    FF and Thunderbird took up to 30 mins, though Opera will take 10 mins, Open office likewise is taking ten mins.

    The icon stated that I am connected to the net, its just that nothing would open for 10-30 mins.

    Once it did open it was fine so I have no idea why it is took so long for this, all I can think of is it is something to do with the router setting but that still would not prohibit FF at least trying to open.

    I gave up and did a system restore which fixed the issue and now my PC works perfectly.

    I have scanned with MBAM and it found nothing.

    GMER keeps crashing my PC after stalling during the scan. (It has always crashed on me from previous tries at running many months ago)

    DDS likewise will not run, this post has the PEV wordpad that the log produces http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=77172&pid=397816&st=0entry397816 (This is the first time I have had issues with DDS though)

    Should I run the Defogger and try again?

    I ran a HJT but I think it is a out of date version.

    I know my Adobe is out of date I do not really use it and so I have forgot to update it.

    Do these seem to point to something like a infection?

    Thank you for the help.

    edit to attach dds logs, I ran it in admin and it worked this time. The GMER however still freeze-crashes my PC even in admin :)

    PC not opening FF

    in General Windows PC Help

    Posted

    While it was "loading" for 30+ mins I opened the TM and nothing was in it. I decided I had had enough and did a system restore and that has fixed the issue. I dont think I am infected as it happened while just trying to get my PC back to recognise the router, I have a feeling that somewhere down the line I might have clicked something and changed something, I really have no idea, I don't have a shared folder as this is the only PC in the house and the DSi which I made the router WEP for was not on.

    I think I might leave it and see what happens as it seems "fixed" for want of a better word.

    If it was a virus would SR have fixed this? Or mask the symptoms?

    How do I disc check again? I have a feeling I have done it wrong in the past.

    Speech recognition in vista

    in General Windows PC Help

    Posted

    I have been trying to use vistas speech recog with some success, normal things like note pad and opening files is fine, but i would like to use it to browse and possiblt type in IRC/Messenger.

    You can sometimes get it to work in IE but its hit and very miss, plus I don't like to use IE. Should I give up using it or is there a way? If not is there another program that allows this?

    Thanks.
