| 490129 | 2006-10-08 09:19:00 | Hi all, My control panel has been rather hard to use lately... It streams black and white lines as I scroll down (or up). Please see the pics at the below address (a picture says a thousand words afterall!) homepages.ihug.co.nz homepages.ihug.co.nz homepages.ihug.co.nz I've virus scanned (AVG & Trend Micro), i've search bot'ted and destroyed, adaware'd and a few others...spoken to Compaq on the help line (I think they thought I was seeing things). I'm normally fairly careful with what I download, who uses the computer and such. I really don't want to re-format it (i've assignments coming out of my ears and don't have time atm). If anyone can shed any light on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! TonesMalones |

| 490134 | 2006-10-08 20:38:00 | try searching your computer for this file appwiz.cpl and then double click on it Had two copies of that file (one in ...system32 and other .../system32/dllcache). Opened them both up and still yeilded the same problem! I had that some time ago,tried many things to no avail,ended up reformatting. Maybe a reformat is the way to go, not for a couple of months yet though! Thanks for all of your replies, much appreciated! |

| 490136 | 2006-10-08 21:36:00 | Have a look at this thread www.windowsbbs.com you could try using the "add remove pro" just to get a listing as apparently it can remove entrys from the windows addremove screen (you may be able to remove the entry that causes the problem) aha heres the link I was looking for windowsbbs.com the post by goddez |
