Need help fixing DH laptop

14 years ago

Hi, haven't been around awhile. DH's HP laptop is getting slow so he has been coming in and using mine. Could someone...Zep, Raven....get it up and running again..do the Hijack thing. This was my late Mom's that I gave to my hubbie. All he really does is play solitaire with it and search Craig's list. I've seen a couple things on here that I don't know anything about. Let me know what I need to do...thanks in advance

    Sorry, but can you give me the link to that. When I did a search, CNET has Mini Trend Hijacker....is that the same thing?

    Help setting up DH's new laptop

    Q

    Snidely - good point about not removing things if they're not causing trouble - lest they turn out to have been needed. So I have left some things that I have no idea about. I did delete Dell Stage - bc. it's a real pain - gets in the way all the time (my daughter who's had this on her laptop for 2 years confirmed that it's just in the way). I did all the microsoft updates, ran a few antivirus, got rid of what I want to get rid of, and it's mostly good to go. Here's the trouble that remains: I can't get the printer working. It's a Canon Pixma MX850 - on the home network. I did not want to install the Canon disk bc. it has a ton of it's own bloatware. So I went to Canon and downloaded the driver - as well as the IJ utility software (I think that helps the computer find a printer on the network). Went to devices and printers, added the printer and made it the default printer. It shows up in printers and devices, but when I go to print something, it fails. Troubleshooting says the test page didn't print bc. something else is in the queue. But there is nothing else in the queue. I opened the queue from my pain desktop (that's connected to the printer) - and there's no documents in the queue. Went to the printer queue on DH's lapto; - it also shows nothing in the queue. I can print from other computers. Don't know what else to do. And I just remembered that I did not see Java. It didnt come up as needing updating when I ran the Secunia scan. I am not sure which programs need it, but can imagine my husband being stumped if he tries to do something that needs Java and asks him to install. I'd like to install it for him. Got to remember that. I also have a question about Microsoft Security Essentials. Twice now it found something bad - and I selected to remove the couple of files. Does this AV just run in the background or do I also need to run scans? Thank you. Lynn.

    Desperate need of help. Laptop has Fatal Sys Error

    fwiw I've run startup repair on win7 a few times. It needs to be run back to back without trying to boot into windows, or it looses count and runs the same first run repair process each time. With my laptop, when startup repair finishes and restarts the computer, then I have to push my boot from cd key quickly again or its lost that ability to count. It would tell you in the reports run once, 2x or 3x. First run is I dont remb, 30 or 40 minutes for win7. Second run is maybe just 2 minutes. Third run would be the same quick, or slighly quicker than 2nd run. And it aways says something about 'startup repair can not repair this computer automatically' I assume it says this because nothing was wrong. I just wanted my partition tables/names microsoft style after using a 3rd party tool to resize partitions.

    My uncle says it doesn't look like water penetration, but since it's going to rain tomorrow I'll wait to see before I fix it. Now, he said don't cut through and remove the back of the sheet that's there b/c the vapor barrier is right on the other side? I always thought vapor barrier was over insulation and sheathing. Maybe he was talking about the paper on the drywall being "treated" and not the Tyvek? Do they make special drywall for exterior walls? Also, I never sealed under the windows after the new stool was put in. I pulled out the builder's fiberglas and used low-expansion foam around the windows before we put the finished casing up. I was wondering if I could just fill the hole with the same stuff, since it's toolable (is that a word?) and then either mud over it (don't fill all the way), or tape and mud. The DAP stuff is paintable but it would likely be a different sheen/texture than the surrounding wall so I wouldn't just use that - it would have to be skimmed with mud. But I was thinking it would be easier to apply as a backer material to fill the 1/2" deep hole than the setting compound, and I'm not comfortable with just taping and mudding over the hole with no insulation or backer under (not that the original gypsum is a great insulator, but it's better than air). I'm afraid my patch would sink like the original paper did if I leave a void behind it.

    I'm needing help with DH

    Secondguessing, welcome to THS and a big hug to help you get through the day. I disagree with castiron, BTW. You are desperate for outside opinions and we don't know you or or DH, so there is no need for anyone to be embarrassed. People who are totally healthy get overwhelmed with a renovation. I can't imagine remodeling my parent's house, especially if I had fond memories. If you own your house full and clear, and own the house you are remodeling, you can take your time. If you do not have the funds for the remodel, I would ask your DH if he prefers to put it on hold for a while. If your DH blew up about $2k, it does not sound like he is comfortable with the projected cost of the remodel. Note - they always go over budget. Is your DH retired or is he also working full time? That would make a difference. My DH was once totally stressed out over a job that was more time consuming that expected. This was back in 2000, when it was easier to get a job. I recommended to him that he quit and look for something else. He did and was very grateful. Sometimes men need "permission" to back away from something. Do you think your DH would simply stop the remodel if you were OK with that? Saving his health and your marriage seems like it would be more important than the remodel. Best wishes, whatever you decide.

    Well, I found out that the Trend Micro download is what I needed and I did it. But I got the following message:
    For some reason your system denied write access to Hosts file. If any hijacked domains are in the file Hijack This may not be able to fix this. If this happens, edit files yourself. Click Start, run, and type notepadC:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Enter. Find line(s) Hyjack this reports and deltet them
    Save files as "hosts" with quotes and reboot.
    I'm not sure what I should do but if you could help me tomorrow nite I'd appreciate it. My battery is going down and this machine is getting so slow. I really appreciate your help. Please adavise what I should do. Thanks

    Yes tomorrow nite will be good for me too

    One other detail when you start Hjackthis using Vista you need to right ckick on the hijackthis Icon on the desktop and then choose Run as Administrator that will stop the host file error message you're getting.

    Click Here to download HJTInstall.exe
    Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
    Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop. Right click the Hijackthis Icon and Run as Adminstrator if you use Vista or Windows 7
    By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Click on Install.
    It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
    Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
    Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
    Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" and Paste the entire contents of the log into your next post.

    Zep, had a chance to get on here earlier, don't know when you will be around...
    I uninstalled Hijack This and reinstalled it using your link above. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. I tried the right click on the icon but there is not a "run as administrator". I opened the program and it asked if I wanted to do a scan and save to log which I did but I got the same message.
    I will look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

    Casi if you right click on Hijackthis then click Properties in the pop up a new window appears.

    Click the Compatibility tab then near the bottom of that page is a place to click to run the program as an administrator. Click Apply - OK, then run the program.

    One more thing to do,

    Please download MiniToolBox http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/farbar/MiniToolBox.exe and run it.

    Checkmark following boxes:
    List last 10 Event Viewer log
    List Installed Programs
    List Users, Partitions and Memory size
    Click Go and post the result.

    Here is a link that might be useful: MiniToolBox.exe

    Hi casi,

    Take your time we can work over next few nites, we should probably do basic stuff like Ccleaner, TFC, a disk clean up using windows, a defrag too. I have a list of Hijackthis entries to remove nothing big though. We can do that last.

    If all your husband does is play solitaire and check out Craig's list, why not just reformat the hard drive and put the operating system back on. This would not only deal with any potential virus, but anything else that is slowing the machine down.

    Hi casi,

    That's ok I'm in and out too this week. We can just do a few things at a time like we are doing....

    Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files.

    Download TFC by OldTimer From here click Here
    to your desktop.

    Double-click TFC.exe to run it.

    Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator

    TFC will close all programswhen run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin

    * Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process.
    * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.
    * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished.

    Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning.

    Let me know when that's done...

    Thanks Zep. Okay, I did the cleaner. It said it cleaned out 244mb of files. Did the re-boot had to help it manually. I also did a defrag yesterday and I did the disk clean up earlier this week. So far it is still pretty slow. What next!

    Hi

    We will use hijackthis to stop some startups from running,

    Can you view this information on another computer or print it out as you will not be able to see it.

    Close all browsers windows including this one, right click on the Hijackthis Icon and choose "Run as administrator"

    Do a "System scan only" wait for the scan to open.

    Now place a check mark in the following bold entries.

    O2 - BHO: Google Toolbar Helper - (AA58ED58-01DD-4d91-8333-CF10577473F7) - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Toolbar\GoogleToolbar_32.dll

    O3 - Toolbar: Microsoft Live Search Toolbar - (1E61ED7C-7CB8-49d6-B9E9-AB4C880C8414) - c:\Program Files (x86)\MSN\Toolbar\3.0.0560.0\msneshellx.dll

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [StartCCC] "C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CLIStart.exe" MSRun
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UpdatePRCShortCut] "C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\Recovery\MUITransfer\MUIStartMenu.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\Recovery" UpdateWithCreateOnce "Software\CyberLink\PowerRecover"
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WirelessAssistant] C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Wireless Assistant\HPWAMain.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Java\Java Update\jusched.exe"
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [swg] "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe"

    O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-19\..\RunOnce: [mctadmin] C:\Windows\System32\mctadmin.exe (User 'LOCAL SERVICE')

    O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-20\..\RunOnce: [mctadmin] C:\Windows\System32\mctadmin.exe (User 'NETWORK SERVICE')

    Once the check marks are in place:

    Click FixChecked
    Close Hijackthis.
    Reboot your computer.

    Post a fresh Hijackthis log, that is do a system scan and save a log file

    Let me know if anything is better, not really seeing much here all basic items but lets see how it goes..

    Good luck and let me know.

    Could you after hijackthis stuff, is to Click > Start > In the start menu find "Computer" right click on it and choose "Properties" look in the list for "Installed" Memory.

    Please post that! I know I have it above, but I want to double check the amount being reported by windows.

    Okay, I did what you said to do.

    Installed Memory is 3.00GB with 2.75GB useable

    fwiw
    Recently cleaned up a computer with very slow opening and running programs.... saw a log in c/ root, its indications were a CHKDSK (checkdisk) run might be good idea.

    That was the fix on it. 1609 security descriptors cleaned/fixed.

    Here is a link that might be useful: how to run checkdisk

    I'd follow mikie's direction for sure!

    Has there been any improvement?

    Zep,
    Sorry for not getting back to you. I did the check disk thing. I think it is running better but I haven't been on that computer since I did it. My husband has been using it and not complaining. Thanks for all your help. I need to get my Sony laptop worked on too but too much going on right now. It has Vista which I hate.
