The problem seems to have started after loading sp3
HP Pavilion zd8000 Pentium 4 3.2 G Htz. Windows xp pro was sp2 now sp3
80 G harddrive 40G free
Typical error :- Runtime error
Do you wish to debug
Line : 7 ( and other various numbers )
Error : in loading DLL
Clicking the "yes" key 2 or3 times clears the box, sometimes desktop icons go to white and gradually come on to colour again, this also happens sometimes when closing a folder. ???
When restarting desktop goes to 640x480 (or similar) before going to my selected Resolution 1280x768
AVG 8 free running updated daily. windows firewall on, automatic update on ???
-
When exactly does runtime error pop up? Whiloe using specific program?
As for video problem....did you try to reinstall video drivers?
-
Occurs on different programs, some Video eg wmv, mpg etc. Also eg Photoshop elements 5
Yes i have tried a new driver in the radeon x600 from Driver Detective, but the whole system seemed unstable, all sorts of wierd blue screen stuff and a memory dump so I ran the original HP driver recovery disc again.
Also had a previous Blue Screen:-
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
I think this and a few more came even before loading sp3
can't seem to get the smileys to work, but sad is the mood
-
can you rememberany of the blue screen messages, and if you see any more, try and write them down
-
Go Start>Run, type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK.
Have Windows XP CD handy.
-
You guys are great ;D ;D The scannow fixed The runtime errors, many thanks.
But a problem which may have been related>>> When formatting a cd for InCd the blue screen again :- Technical info ATIPTAXX corrupt file C:\ $Secure corrupt
oxoooooo77 (oxoooooooE, oxoooooooo, oxo2A5Dooo)
Beginning dump of physical memory
Dumping to Disc : Numbers counting from 1 upwards to about 70
Then shut down. Since then I have restored most things but there is no CD/DVD drive
showing in My Computer and cannot read any cd/dvd rom at all, even in the BIOS its not there
perhaps the drive is past it's use by date ???
-
I'm glad, ithelped :)
The drive may be dead. You may try it in another computer.
Give this a shot:
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
or...
2. http://aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip
or...
3. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstal. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.

Terrific CD/DVD drive back again :)
But woe is me, there seems to be a software problem, caused by the Microsoft updates. Office 2002 is only partly working, Word & Power Point, the others have a blank icon.
Can't uninstall or reinstall, "Windows installer patch package could not be opened" I have installed windowsInstaller KB893803-V2-x86.exe , no joy :(
-
You tried uninstalling with the Office CD, right ???
Alan <>< :D
-
Yes I had tried to install Office using the CD, however I must have been clicking on the wrong file.
I have found the file to click on now in the CD contents: STD.MSI and it installed, it now seems to work ok
Thanks again ............. it's great to have the help you provide, hope this has helped others too.
Do I now close this thread?
