I decided to delete it since it wasn't a great picture anyways (although my aunt I'm sure would disagree) :D
I have tried twice to run the scan and it won't get past this jpg file even though I deleted it and emptied the recycle bin. Sooo, now what???

find a file
Please copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the following text in the quote to Notepad.
Save it as "All Files" and name it findfiles.bat Please save it on your desktop.

Please put the name of the picture where it says INSERT NAME HERE (Below) you don't need to add .jpg
This will tell us if there is a copy of the file somewhere else.

Apparently we don't have an operational Notepad. It is under programs/accessories, but it doesn't open. So the documents I have been saving to the desktop are WordPad. The "all files" isn't an option for WordPad. What should I do next?? Let me know if you get annoyed and want to chuck it. My husband's IT guy at work said he'd look at it if we want him to, so whenever you feel that this is too annoying, let me know. :lol:

Don't worry, I'm not fed up yet :lol:

It sounds from that as if your OS has become corrupt.
There is no valid reason why Notepad shouldn't run

Click "Start >> Run" and type "Notepad"
Press enter and see what happens

Ok, so I found notepad and this is what it said

Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 88DE-7FFE

Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop

Somehow, as computer illiterate as I am, I'm thinking this didn't resolve anything and that the computer is out to get me... :roll:

As to other issues-
I right clicked on the desktop after this scan and went to properties and it still comes up w/ the original mssg that started this whole thing.
We also have been unable to download the service pack 3 for xp. We purchased xp directly from microsoft online, so I'm not sure why it won't download.
There is a yellow shield in the bottom tray today that says there are updates are ready to install on my computer, but I'm not sure who this is from? My mother did that once and it really jacked up her computer, so I've yet to try it.

I will say that after cleaning w/ the ccleaner, it runs faster. We just got fios about a month ago and haven't really been all that impressed with the speed thus far. After the cleaner it did seem to load pages faster.

Thanks for all the help!

A friend built it for us and we periodically take it out to him when we want to upgrade components or he will walk us through things. He couldn't figure out why we were unable to get the service pack three and he didn't really seem to have the inclination to figure it out, so we just left it not having it. And yes, we do have the XP Install CD w/ service pack 2.
Here is OT Move It:

C:\Documents and Settings\David\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\file moved successfully.

Make sure you have your XP Disc handy

Click "Start >> Run" and type sfc /scannow

This will check to make sure all your system files are valid.
If it replaces any then when it has finished, you will need to go to windows update and check for any updates.

Let me know how you get on, and check if the problem is still there.

Well, it got about 2/3 through the verification and then proceed to tell me that the CD provided is the wrong CD and to please insert the WindowsXP Professional CDRom into the CDRom drive. I am so annoyed. The Cd is genuine and clearly the Windows website recognizes that the computer has the authentic version since we are set up for automatic updates (according to the update history, it just updated active x on4/9). Oh-and it is the Microsoft Word 2003 service pk that fails to update. It looks as if there is an attempt daily to update the Word service pk.

Another strange thing that it does that I forgot to mention: I changed the desktop screen picture a couple of months ago. When the computer is rebooted, the original desktop picture comes up first and stays up until almost the end of the rebooting process, then the screen and icons all go blue, and then the newer desktop pic come up w/ all the icons. I've changed pictures before on the desktop and never had this happen before. Just seems weird, and not an issue for me unless it is symptomatic of a problem.

It sounds like either the OS on your machine has become corrupt (which is possible from the errors you are getting), or the OS on your machine is not the same as the one on your install disc.

Does the disc say XP Professional, or XP Home ?

The Microsoft Word 2003 is because of
Office Status: 114 Blocked VLK 2
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 - 114 Blocked VLK 2
Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 - 100 Genuine
OGA Version: N/A, 0x80070002
Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002
Office Diagnostics: 025D1FF3-171-1


114 Blocked VLK 2 means a Volume Licence Key that has been blocked by Microsoft.
If you paid for Word/office 2003 then you need to contact Microsoft and ask them why it is blocked.
If you didn't pay for it, then you need to uninstall it.
