HELP!
What's happening!?
Friday, July 22, 2005 by RPGFX | Discussion: Windows XP
OK, I know this is a shot in the dark, 'cause there are a million reasons for these things happening, but I was hoping there was some PC guru out there who might have an idea... These things have happened to my computer in the last few weeks, one by one...
-CorelDRAW 9 no longer opens. I've tried reinstalling. It starts to load, then just quits.
-when rightclicking on a picture file, and saying open with Paintshop Pro 6.. it says "Windows cannot locate the file..." However PSP6 opens, and the files can be opened from there... and all files can still be viewed with Windows picture and fax viewer. This same thing occurs with CorelDRAW files.
-When going to Control panel, accounts page... only a blank white window opens with the back and forward arrows in the corner... no account info appears... same thing happens if I click my icon on the start menu.
-Windows Media Player 10 will not run... says "Internal Application Error"
-HP Scanner program will not open... similar to CorelDRAW 9, it starts to load, then just quits.
I always have virus protection running and a firewall. And I've done these things... Virus scan, defrag, ran a cleanup program, reinstalled HP scanner software and CorelDRAW 9, nothing has changed.
PLEASE DON'T TELL ME I NEED TO REINSTALL WINDOWS...

| "ain't", if it is to be used at all, should be used as a contraction for "am not" |
I think you ain't right there....
He ain't ever gonna convince me otherwise....
Stick "am not" into those and you ain't gonna quibble no more..... 
As for 'beating me to it'....sleep happens rarely....

wikipedia: Ain't is a contraction originally for "am not", but now typically meaning "is not", "am not", or "are not". The word is a perennial problem in English usage.
These times, they are a changin' SD (i still have ruler marks to prove you used to be right)

Naw, I sympathize. Not that that does you any good right now.
Do you have an IT dept, where you work? They should have a copy around somewhere.

ain't. early assimilation of amn't, contr. of am not; later confused with a'nt (are not), i'nt (is not), ha'nt (has not, have not) [colloq.] am not: also a dialectal or substandard contraction for is not, are not, has not, and have not: ain't was formerly standard for am not and is still sometimes defended as a useful contracion for am not in questions (I'm going too, ain't I?)

Of course, my edition of Webster's is 1982. Seems like yesterday, but I guess it's 23 years old.

Can't...they still have a protection order in force from the last time I wandered in and said: "Hey, look..I need help...my BIT's broke."
In my defense... I honestly thought the PC after the name meant computer. I swear. Really.
