GymJunkie Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Problem 1: It started a couple days ago when I found out I was unable to use Right-Click in FF anymore. Problem 2: I also noticed that whenever I tried using Lockbox to unlock some folders it would pop up saying missing shortcut and it would never find it and the files remained locked/invisible. I tried uninstalling it and going to the lockbox control panel but got the same missing shortcut message both times. I tried uninstalling in the add/remove programs but that wouldnt work. I deleted all folders I could find relating to it and tried reinstalling and its the exact same issue. Problem 3: Now FF keeps crashing with a Runtime Error, I thought perhaps I really needed that update to 3.6 so I installed it and no change. Problem 4: The computer is running painfully slow lately, videos freezing, transfer rates to my external hard drive that should only take a maximum of 20 mins are lasting 5 hours. Problem 5 MOST IMPORTANT: I was told to do a system restore to an earlier date before the problems started occuring, but every single time I choose an earlier date it says "System cannot restore to " any date I put up. Ive gone as far back as Feb and its always the same thing. I have windows XP and AVG found nothing, I deleted it and finally registered nortons 60 day trial, all it found was a tracker cookie which it got rid of. PLEASE HELP!

newls1 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 honestly, the most effective way to correct all your issues is to do the dreaded FORMAT! I would format the HDD and start fresh.....

GymJunkie Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeeeaa, I did have to to a full restore but now I have another problem and I hope someone can help. I did a complete restore so EVERYthing is gone and when I am now installing everything again this is the response I get to installing PC Suit for my phone's ringtones.

Guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 i dont really want to say this but your HDD might be starting to fail. try doing an error checking on the hdd. IIRC you right click my computer (or go to control panel then system) then click on the performance tab or something then click error checking...im not using a windows machine right now so its not 100% accurate.

GymJunkie Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 No, just looked throughout that area and found nothing relating to error checking. Checked google and it involves command program so I am running it now Now also my show is freezing worse than before I even did the restore, and its a brand new never used disc, literally just opened the case and my cpu is only 2%-7% Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

GymJunkie Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 It said it couldnt finish in read-only mode and needed to restart, it finally finished but it found nothing. My Lockbox still isnt working either, everytime I click on it it says its missing the shortcut and I cant uninstall it either. What the hell is going on? Im going crazy Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Jensen UV10 DVD HU Two 12" Sony Xplode (temporary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psx2p Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 do you ever notice any ticking sounds or HD thrashing (excesive reading and writing to the HD). Quote 01 GMC Sonoma 4x4 RF T1500.1bd DC LVL 4 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
