Documents and Settings problems again/still

[djkwik]

Me yet again,

I had written about a problem that nobody seemed to know anything about and it seems to be spreading.  Previously, when I would go into the Documents and Settings folder and open the All Users folder, it would open then almost immediately I would get the error report telling me IE has to shut down.  Now it is doing it when I open the Home folder.  I am running Windows XP home edition with SP2 and have gotten all the updates that I know about.  I also update and run Spybot Seek and Destroy weekly.  I also used to like House Call, but lately its getting on my nerves...its listing problems with two of my Office Suite programs (Word and Publisher) but tells me I have to manually remove them, when I click on the link to learn how to do that, my pop-up blocker is activated.  when I click to allow the pop-up, the whole damn thing starts over again and I am expected to wait another 45 minutes for it to run through its scan!  In any event, it doesn't seem to find any viruses!

So back to the main problem, this is getting real irritating...I want it to stop and don't want to have to resort to a total re-load of Windows.  I've also gotten a few Dr. Watson error reports when this happens.  i finally discovered that Dr. Watson is an actual Microsoft product but don't ever remember loading it.  I also checked running processes and the thing is listed 3 times!  Is there a reason that thing seems to have 3 seperate runing processes???  Also:  I was told by a friend that AVG free Ant-Virus is itself spyware.  any truth to that story?

Here is my latest hijack this report:

AVG free Ant-Virus is itself spyware

I've never heard that before, I would like to see proof
I have it installed on one of my computers and never here arguments from my spyware scanners that AVG is spyware?

Is that why you no longer have it installed?
I would go back and immediately reinstall the free version if that's what you used

Also, can you post a different log
If you have an older version of Combofix>>delete it
Download this file - Combofix.exe and save it ONLY to your desktop
Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Post the log from Combofix please
It's default location is C:\Combofix.txt

Also, what happened when you went to safe mode and signed in with the Adminstrator account
Did you have problems accessing your folders?
Any other user profiles on this computer?

I did reinstall the latest version of AVG and ran the full system scan...it found nothing.

Please remind me how to log in under safe mode.

Yes, I still get the "windows Explorer Encountered a Problem and needs to shut down" when I went into Documents & Settings > Home.  Also, this time (and it's happened before) some of my desktop icons got moved around when it "refreshed" the desktop after closing the page.  Note:  I logged on in Safe Mode and was given a choice of Home or Administrator.  I chose Home...went to Documents & Settings > Home and did not get the error report.  When I turned off and logged back on in regular mode, I got an update notice immediately (even though I was no longer online) for Adobe reader.  I went online and downloaded the update, ran Windows Clean-Up and then came here.  This is driving me nuts.  i swear I am near ready to dump the PC altogether and get a Mac!  Bill Gates needs to be shot!  Here is the dss report:

Amazingly enough, No I had no problems under the new account.  Now, last question:  can I copy all of the contents from the "home" account that I want to keep (documents, etc) into the new account (I have already gone into documents and settings, copied all of the the favorites list into the new account so I am assuming I can do the same to everything else).  After setting up the new account with everything I want to keep, can I change the name of "home" to something else, then change the new account's name to "home" and delete the old one so I only have the one?

Personally, this is what I like to do
You have 2 Profiles right now, plus Administrator account seen in safe mode

Leave the Admin account alone
Try the following
Create another user account and give it Admin privileges

So now you have 3 accounts + Admin

You have the corrupt account>>Home
Your new account>>Let's call this "djkwik" < or whatever you named it
And another new account you just made>>Let's say you call it "Transfer"

Log off of your Home and djkwik and log into the newly created account>>Transfer

I am willing to try that, but have already realized I will have a problem with my Outlook Express.  i cannot for the life of me remember the password to my LAN email account.  Since that is the account that Oulook Express uses, I figured I could just go into their home site and follow the instructions to the "can't remember password".  From your reply above, I see there is a way to just export the account into my new windows profile?  Is that correct?  Let me know.  Also, as I was trying to move some files around today, I got a Windows Live ID sign-in prompt.  I googled it and found one place where someone had asked how to get rid of it, but there was no response to their question.  I am hoping once i establish a good user profile on Windows and get rid of all of the other's (especially the corrupt one) all of these problems will disappear with that corrupt profile.

Move the files/folders as I described above

See if this helps in remembering passwords
Download SIW.exe from here
http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html

Save it to your Local Disk C: folder
Go to MyComputer>>Local Disk C:
open SIW.exe
Click on Secrets on the left hand side
See if that helps

Well, I have everything moved and everything seems to be working ok except one thing.  under the "home" profile, some windows would always open at their maximized size and some wouldn't..I never found a way to fix that....now however, under the new profile, the windows that used to open fully maximized under "home" profile now do not open fully maximized.  I have maximized the window, then exited the window (and have tried several different ways of doing both) and I still get the same crap.  Do YOU have any idea of how to fix it so that every window I open does so in its fully maximized size?

[guestolo]

Try this, see if it's any help

Close down all windows
Go to Start>>MyComputer>>Tools>>Folder Options>>View

Select "Reset All Folders"
Yes to the prompt

Open a Window such as "My Documents">>Maximize it
Close then reopen it, does it stay maximized?

NOTE: I seen this in your log from dss.exe
Total Physical Memory: 254 MiB (512 MiB recommended).
Is it possible to add more Ram to this computer, you are running on minimal for XP in my opinion
another 256 mb would make an improvement

Well, that worked for all of my folders...now what about Internet Explorer windows.  I would like to be able to go to a page on the web and not have to expand each and every one I go to.  Are there any settings to open all web pages in full expanded view?  Also, everything seems to be working, can I get rid of the old "home" profile now to free up space on the hard drive?  I will get more memory when I can afford it, but as for speed, the computer works fine for what I use it for.  I just really hate that all the internet explorer windows won't open in full view.

Try this
Open IE window
Click on TOOLS>>Menu bar

Ensure the IE windows is maximized
Next click on FILE>>New Window
Drag the corners of the new Window to fill the whole screen
Then minimize it to the taskbar
The original IE window, click on FILE>>Exit
Open the minimized window and click File>>Exit

Does that help?
I don't use IE that much, so I hope so  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Don't forget about IE7 tabbed browsing
You can set up options to suit your needs
In IE go to TOOLS>>Internet Options>>Under the General page
Select Settings under Tabs
You may like to set :: These are all optional
Always swith to new tab when created
Open new tab next to current tab
Open new tab in current window

Regarding the Home account

This is what I like to do
Shut down the computer
This is to ensure every profile is logged out
Restart the computer and sign in Only with your new account you are going to hold onto

Go into User Accounts in Control Panel and delete the Home account and the Transfer account
You can Delete files at prompt now that you have everything running smooth and in order
Up to you

Thanks.  I somehow managed to get the explorer windows to open fully maximized (can't remember what I did, but every window I try fresh opens fully...but links from those windows dont...not a problem)

New problem:  I am trying to make sure all my things are updated before getting rid of the extra profiles.  I went to Windows Update and it once again is prompting me to download and install the Office XP SP3.  I tried this before and it failed...I am apparently missing s file called PUB.MSI  I have already run repair on Publisher, I only have one version of Publisher on here.  i do not have the disc that I installed it with either.  Isn't there ANY way i can get that file without having to go an buy a disc for it?  I have been browsing and it seems there are a LOT of people having this problem.  I downloaded the previous service pack and update for Office XP just last month, so i don't know how or why the PUB.MSI file is now missing.  I've done a complete search including hidden and program files and still nothing.  You would think that with so many people experiencing this problem that someone out there would be able to provide a free download of that file.  Any suggestions?  Again, its the PUB.MSI file for MS Publisher 2002 as part of MS Office XP.

I'm not sure if this will help
As it may prompt for the CD also, even though it claims it won't

Try the full download of SP3 from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en
OfficeXpSp3-kb832671-fullfile-enu.exe
It's 57.5 MB in size

Edit>>Did office come preinstalled on your system?
Do you need Publisher?
Can you borrow a Office XP Cd from a friend/coworker?

i don't know anyone with the XP disc that I can borrow..its on my home computer and was installed by a friend that I no longer have contact with.  I used to use Publisher a great deal, but lately it has been acting strange...everytime I try to put a picture in it...even from the publisher clip art file, it shows up very blurry once in the publication.  I've run the repair for publisher itself and nothing.  The Office XP download that Microsoft is labeling a critical upgrade for security reasons will not install without it.  I will try the link you supplied and see if that works.  I may just end up having to go and shell otu hundreds of $$$$ for a new Office XP program....of course...knowing Microsoft, that will be outdated within a year and require more hundreds of $$$ to replace.  In any event, I at least need Word, since the business world does not recognize Microsoft Works documents...anytime I apply for a job online, they require a resume done only in Word format.  One of the Office SP3 critical downloads is also for Word...but if I don't have all of Office XP, I guess I don't get the security updates...more of the typical Microsoft Bullsh--!

Your going to have trouble getting updates without a full legal version of Office Xp
You can try manually downloading individual updates from here
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/download...0224911033.aspx

Or try Open Office, it's not a bad Office suite
Take a look
http://www.openoffice.org/

and/or for Publishing program, also take a look at
