View Full Version : Urgent Issues Needing Resolution!

Hello all, and thank you in advance for any input on these errors. I'm having more than just malware issues, although I know my most prominent problems are with malware. If this thread needs to be moved, I apologize, I'm just very much at a loss of what to do with this. I frequent forums a lot (for general role playing though :)) and I understand all the formalities that must be taken with a thread in the wrong area, but I'd really appreciate if we could skip that. Not trying to be rude or pushy but, I am taking my courses online and I can be booted for lack of attendance, so I need a resolution to the first issue as quickly as possible. Sorry to be making demands like this folks. :(

I'd first like to mention as many of the issues I've been having with my laptop as I can remember. I am more than certain that many of these are coincidences, but there's only one that I really need solved urgently, which will be the first and bolded issue. Of course, aid with any of the other issues would be appreciated too. :)

I don't know what exactly everyone needs to diagnose me, so if I'm missing anything, speak up! Running Vista Home Professional on an Acer Aspire laptop.

So, let's get to the problems, shall we? The first and most obnoxious would be my issues with my web browsers. My Browsers (I've tried multiple to see if it was just firefox or not) all crash spontaneously, without warning. It also seems to happen when I access certain sites, but they're not sites that I would pin the issue on, as I've been using this site for a very long time and this issue is recent. Regardless it still never ceases to crash eventually, those sites just make it more.... frequent. <_<;

Now, on to other things.
-Can't uninstall programs from the control panel. All programs get the same message, "An error has occured when trying to uninstall _____. It may have already been uninstalled. Would you like to remove _____ from the Programs and Features list?"

I get an embarrassing amount of error messages upon start up.
Symantec User Session "a necessary file could not be loaded: fwAlert"
Symantec User Session "a necessary file could not be loaded: NAVProd"
Symantec User Session "a necessary file could not be loaded: NisProd"
Daemons Tools Pro "This program requires at least Windows 2000 with SPTD Kernal Debugger...." sorry that one closed on me and I don't want to restart quite yet. Bug me for it if it's relevant.

I also used to get a message saying something along the lines of "cannot locate missing file system32.dll" or something like that. It didn't come up this time. That one scares the life out of me. I'm not a computer pro, but I know your system 32's are just a little important. :P

All messengers refuse to work, for whatever reasons. MSN gives me "Contact list not available" and also tells me I need to update to the newer version. But when I try to do that it says the install failed.
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance. Please try installing Windows Live programs again. Unknown error occurred. hr:0x80070641"

errrr. k. Similar messages for Yahoo, Trillian, ect.

Occasionally when I try to shut down the computer or put it in sleep mode (never when I restart) I get blue screened, telling me something along the lines of "an unknown thread has failed to connect to it's host". Or something like that. I'll post with more on than next time it comes up.

Here's one that's left everyone stumped. My computer randomly plays sound. Maybe once a day, for anywhere from 5-30 seconds, it'll play something random. It usually sounds like very corny infomercials or the news. o_O;;

On to hardware for a moment. My build in touch pad has had a mind of it's own for months. Once every 3 hours or so, it will do any combination of the following.
-Move on it's own.
-Lock up so I can't move it (it can still move itself sometimes)
-Lose the ability to click with the touchpad
-Click on it's own

Most commonly it just whirs about, clicking pretty much everything in it's wake and making my life a mess. I can't stop it or anything. My old solution used to be to disable the touchpad in the system tray in the bottom and turn it back on. But for some reason, where the touchpad used to be there's now just an empty space in the tray. It disappeared after I used a program recommended by a friend called Smitfruad. Haven't used that again. <_<;;

I was also told to post with this, my Hijack This report. It's really large, I apologize if it was unneeded. This was done upon start up, immediately after clearing out previous error messages.

So this about wraps up what I can remember being my issues for the moment. I'm at a local internet cafe for the time being, but I don't think I can rely on this too long. I'd appreciate some swift actions here if possible. Don't hesitate to tell me what I've done wrong or what else you might need to diagnose... Just please, keep in in mind I only need my browser, if nothing else.

I'm getting a new computer in 3 weeks so I'm not too worried about totally fixing this all if it's going to be terribly confusing.

Thanks for your time ladies and gentlemen. :)

Ahh, I did forget one very annoying issue. I apologize for the double post, I can't seem to find the 'modify' button I'm used to using on proboards.

I frequently get routed from sites I try to access to stupid little search pages. As an example, when I type anything into google.ca, and click ANY link, it brings me to something really stupid, like those sites with domain names purposefully picked to be similar to frequently used sites. This happens with pretty much any site I try to access that isn't some kind of forum, which I find rather strange.
