Two problems

[Guest]

For some reason I do not have the "Run Command" on my start button. The run
command is checked in task manager, but no joy. What can i do to access the
Run Command?

The second problem is that my Windows firewall is not running and when i try
to start it, I receive a message that Windows Firewall settings cannot be
displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to
start the Windows Firewall/Internet Sharing (ICS) Service. When I click on
yes, I get the message that Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/
Internet Connection Service.

What do I do now? I am running XP with SP2, media Center Edition.

Before doing any thing try these cleaning steps:

1... First, try to clean up your caches, Internet files and delete cookies
by doing this:
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options.
On the IE properties windows you will see these Taps:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs |
Advanced
Under General Tab clear your History, Internet Files and Cookies.
Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.
Then click on Programs Tab and click Manage Add-Ons and Disable all non
Verified Add-Ons (You should Renable them later one-by-one and see the
culprit and update it or remove it.

After the scan run disk cleanup on your drive.


Problem 1* Right click on the Start Button on the taskbar and select

Click [OK] after you done.

Problem 2* You didn't elaborate on if you do have a protection software like
a Internet security software or Anti-virus with firewall, if you do have one
then the Anti-virus firewall will Disable the Windows Firewall by default.

I tried the start menu properties fix and the run command was already checked.

I un-checked it, rebooted, re-checked it and rebooted and still no joy.

Anything else I can do for this part of the problem?

As for the firewall issue, I recently received wireless broadband service,
day before yesterday, and I was told that the Belkin wireless router now
supplies my firewall. Any comments as to that?

Another issue I just discovered is that I no longer have any sounds, other
than an annoying beep when an error occurs. No sounds for games, etc.

When I go to where the settings are for my Conexant (?) mixer is supposed to
be I see a message that tells me that there is no sound mixer, but the
properties in device manager tell me that everything is working perfectly.

What now?

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:

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

Firstly, you didn't answer my Qs about did you run a scan and made sure the
system is clean, because there is a vulnerability issue somewhere in your
problems?.

Secondly, do you have a GPO installed or implemented on this machine?, how
many users are on this machine?.
Do you have an Anti-virus with Firewall?.
Why are you using IPV6 not IPV4 for your IP address schema?, is there is a
reason for that, like ISP implementation.
Do you have a printer/scanner/camera or any Peripherals attached to this
machine?, have a look in the Device manager and see if there is any conflict
in USB/Port or malfunctioning.

Troubleshooting steps under each error, please answer back with your exact
findings and also if you need further clarification about any thing did or
didn't make sense.

Try to start with Clean Boot and see if some of the issues will cure and
Note down which start program been causing this issue.

Firstly, you didn't answer my Qs about did you run a scan and made sure the
system is clean, because there is a vulnerability issue somewhere in your
problems?.

Soory about that.

Yes I ran the scan and in addition I also have Spybot Search, Ad-Aware ,
SpyWare Blaster and Super Anti-Spyware . All of which i ran.

Secondly, do you have a GPO installed or implemented on this machine?, how
many users are on this machine?.

I don't know what a GPO is, however I have AVG installed and running.
I have two people on this machine, myself and my wife, both with seperate
identities. My wife's is a limited user type. In addition, I have one other
identity as an Administrator and the Administrator account.

Do you have an Anti-virus with Firewall?.
Why are you using IPV6 not IPV4 for your IP address schema?, is there is a
reason for that, like ISP implementation.

As stated before, I use AVG, current version and current update.

I have no idea what IPV6 or IPV4 is, nor why any of them are being used.

Do you have a printer/scanner/camera or any Peripherals attached to this
machine?, have a look in the Device manager and see if there is any conflict
in USB/Port or malfunctioning.

No printer, scanner, etc. attached. I do have a USB wireless mouse attached
and when I want to offload pictures from my digital camera, I use a
Super-Talent, USB card reader.

Troubleshooting steps under each error, please answer back with your exact
findings and also if you need further clarification about any thing did or
didn't make sense.

I will try the trouble shooting steps and if I have problems will get back
to you.

Thank you for all your help so far.

Incidentally, what about the regedit steps where you asked me to look for
entries labeled No_run, and all I could find were Default and No_Drive?
Should I be looking for something else?

I tried the start menu properties fix and the run command was already checked.

I un-checked it, rebooted, re-checked it and rebooted and still no joy.

Anything else I can do for this part of the problem?

As for the firewall issue, I recently received wireless broadband service,
day before yesterday, and I was told that the Belkin wireless router now
supplies my firewall. Any comments as to that?

Another issue I just discovered is that I no longer have any sounds, other
than an annoying beep when an error occurs. No sounds for games, etc.

When I go to where the settings are for my Conexant (?) mixer is supposed to
be I see a message that tells me that there is no sound mixer, but the
properties in device manager tell me that everything is working perfectly.

What now?

:

Did you perform the cleaning steps as described in my previous post?.
If you did, what the result?.

If you could open a run command by doing this:
Hold down the Win Key + R if it comes up with the Run command try to type
in:
regedit click [OK] and locate these Keys and make the changes:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer = Locate and Delete "NoRun" in the right-hand pane or change the value to 0

[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

For some reason the entire post does not show up, hence the top posting.

My connection is with a Belkin Pre-N router. The signal comes to that from
my provider, Velotech.net, via wireless internet.

I can't really use a manual mouse, however there is a touchpad I can use on
the laptop.

I followed your directions regarding the properties of the wireless
connection and everything was as you stated it should be, so I didn't have to
make any changes there.

I don't use external speakers, just the built in ones on the computer, which
is a HP, Pavillion dv6000.
