I'm using Windows XP servie pack 2, and have run anti-virus programs I'm
having multiple issues with my computer. The most common one is the runtime
error messages I keep getting. A common one is : Object doesn’t support this
property or method", but there are many different ones. They don't cause any
problems that I can directly ascribe to them, but they do come up often,
usually in 3 or 4's, and occasionally infinite, whereupon I have to reboot.

Other things on my system are also giving me problems, and i'm noting them
here because I don't know if they could be related or not.

- Installed a broadband card, but can't get it to work. It's been tested on
a laptop, so I know it works fine. When I try to run it, I just get the
message Sprint Smartview has encountered a problem and needs to close. I've
uninstalled/re-installed a few times, includiong d/ling the software from the
Sprint site. The problem IS with my system, but I can't locate it.

- My Canon scanner which previously worked now cannot be located by Windows.
I've re-installed it a few times, but I keep getting the message "No
configured device found"

If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. Are these problems related?

Then run disk clean up and this command:
Open a run command and type in:

Open a run command and type in:

click on each of these:

Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.
