Preserved Topic: computer problems =\

i've been having some trouble with my computer recently.

everytime i start up, i get an illegal operation. it's soooo annoying. it's some sort of 'svr32' (or 'srv32', whichever) error. i don't know what could be causing it. i've uninstalled all the programs i've gotten in the last month or so, thinking it could be a conflict, but i have seen no results. any help?

also, when i turn my computer on or off, there's this loud popping noise coming from my speakers...could it be that the speakers are getting old or is it something else? any help?

thanks.

For the error message you could either reinstall the software and then uninstall.

Or you could go and delete all references to the software from your registry.

What operating system are you using?
What kind of computer?

i'm using windows 98 (first edition). it's an hp pavilion 6460. celeron 400mhz, 96mb sdram, 8mb ati rage pro turbo graphics. pretty crappy if you ask me.

i wouldn't feel too comfortable deleting stuff from the registry, mage...i could really screw the sucker up.

Do you run a home network? Cause that driver (servr32), is the 32 bit network driver for winblows. Try uninstalling your networking devices, including your modem and TCP/IP and then reinstalling them again.

If he's using DSL, he'd have a NIC installed.

i'm not on a network and i'm on a cheap 56k winmodem. is that any help?

i uninstalled the microsoft family logon, tcp/ip, and dail-up adapter from my network settings, then reinstalled them. i STILL get the error.....this is so annoying! so much stuff that goes wrong on this thing...maybe i should get a mac?

you could try start>>run>>msconfig>> startup(tab) then look and see what it is trying to open that would give you that error.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

i haven't reinstalled yet. that's gonna be a last resort.
