Last night I had problems with my puter. Nothing would load... I couldn't get into Contol Panel, or open My documents, couldn't get online, recycle bin wouldn't open Favorite phrase: NOT RESPONDING, and had to do a three finger salute. Norton Anti virus worked, (nothing turned up) Spybot and Adaware worked, my cdburner program worked, but not much else.
A run through with Nortons Utilies brought up something it couldn't fix.
C:\Program Files\CommonFiles\installShield\Professional\RunTime\oa\oi\Intel32\DotNetInstaller.exe
cannot access file
mscoree.dll
Spybot brought up something it couldn't fix :
C\\Windows\St_Trace.log was active
Have had those two problems for weeks now, but never a problem.
I gave up trying to get anything to work, shut everything off and went to bed.
This morning everything seems to work. KNOCK WOOD
My puter is 5 years old, and I have never had any real problems.
Is it time for a tune up? I don't have the funds for a new puter, this one seems to be doing just find, and I hate the thought of someone monkeying around with it.
