Do not know what this message means, can you help?
*Good afternoon:
I need some help to solve these problems on my computer. I tried to copy and paste into this forum but for I was unable to do this function. Is this possible here? And how do I do it. It might not matter because I have typed what the pop boxes indicate.
There are 4 boxes that come up on my computer after I have logged on and I do not know what they mean, what they are doing to my computer and how to get rid of them. The only way to get them off the screen is to close the boxes. Click on the "X".
1. X Windows cannot find ' Then 7 little boxes, a space and then 7 more boxes, and then 6 more boxes." Then the words Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search. Okay box dialog box.
2. Could not load or run.... then 7,7,6 little boxes with the words along side them, specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the referrence to it in the registry.
3, 4, these both messages repeat themselves again.
I sent the messages to my email at work but I do not know how to attach them to this email so I just typed out their messages for you.
Can you also answer the question, what is a registry?
Someone told me I could download for freeSpyware Doctor for free. When I ran it, it found 7 infections. When I went to fix them, it told me I had to buy the program or continue to use the free copy. Well it would not let me run the free copy, it kept popping me back to the purchase page. Can you assist with this? Is there one for free or do I need to purchase it. Then I loaded Spybot search and destroy because someone at work told me that this would get rid of the 4 boxes above. It did not. Now I have this other box that says Spybot - Search and Destory has detected an important registry entry that has been changed.
Category - System Start-up global entry
Change: Value Deleted
Entry: User fault check
Old Data: % system %| system 32? dumprep O-u
The only choice is to close out the box. When I close off the box, a pop up comes which states Resident denied by change. I do not know what all this means. Can you explain this to me? What do I have to do to get this message to go away. Or what action do I take?
And the last question is as follows:
This was also popping up on my screen. "Spooler Subsystem App--- Spooler Subsytem App encountered a problem and needed to close. Can you tell me what this means?
This is what I need help. I need help to see if something is infecting my computer and how to get rid of them. Preferably free downloads if I can.
Thanks so much for your anticipated help and guidance.
Thanks!
