i already ran malwarebytes and theres no virus found.

i got xp pro sp3. after installing the free version of avast antivrus, i found that it was disabled. i found that the service was not running. when i try to start it, i get this error:

"could not...

hi niclo. yes i agree with you 100% about reg cleaners. i dont trust them either.

anyway, i uninstalled avast and deleted its folder. i'm using the find option in regedit to find anything that...

yeah i tried the removal tool. and its giving me problems. weird. i really need to delete these stubborn reg keys. any suggetions?

i read about Revo.. and the comments on it werent good. i read that Revo can mess up the registry, if i'm not mistaken. but if youve had good experiences with Revo and had no problems with it, then...

i installed avast anvtivirus program. and i uninstalled it. but i want to uninstall it ocmpletely. i went into the registry and deleted many avast keys. but there are some stubbron keys that wont be...

ok, youre acting in a passive aggressive tone which isnt necessary. i didnt mean to complain. i do appreciate your help. but to describe me as "going wildy" in disabling services is far from...

and who said i'm "going wildly and disabling parts of windows"? you wronlgy presume what i'm doing.

well disabling my services definitely has improved bootup and performance.. and its done well with my battery too.

but again, your link has nothing to do with the specific service that i'm asking...

how is that funny?

and your link isnt related to the question. i asked about what service is responsible for giving alerts since i think i may have turned off my services by accident. i dont know...

i turned off lots of service on my xp pro. i think i turned off one of the services responsible for alerting you of low battery. which service is responsible for giving low battery warnings?

well i deleted my prefetch folder. i didnt notice any performance boost. but unfortunately, my theme wouldnt start. so i restored the deleted prefetch folder. i did modify the prefetch value in the...

hi dude.. when you delete the prefetch folder, do you also modify the prefetch value in the registry?

but whats the best value to set in the prefetch registry to boot up faster? 1, 2 or 3?

hi steve and platypus.. i read somewhere that disabling prefetch would increase boot speed. but if you dont suggest this, i'll return all prefetch values to '0' in the registry.

!!!IMPORTANT!!! ...

i want to disable prefetching in my registry in xp. there are a few options below. what do these options mean besides '0' which is obvious?

0 = Disabled

1 = Application launch prefetching...

i've read this info before.. i understand what '0' obviously means. but what do 1,2,and 3 mean?

i disabled prefetching in my xp pro. everything is ok except that my theme doesnt load at bootip. is there a way to exclude all prefetch files except for the one responsible for loading my theme? if...

to be honest, i dont think i will.. becuz if my computer breaks down again, this could be the only way to powering it on.

if i did that, i wont be able to "power up" my laptop until i get a cable ribbon.

no, the reason i'm able to power up without a power button connection is that i think the bios settings isnt set up right. but its a mixed blessing in disguise since the only way to power up my...

thats exactly why i'm replacing it, cuz its damaged.

yeah i guess.. still not fair though for a 4.5 inch piece of plastic.

yeah thats the ribbon cable i was looking at...but $20?? are these idiots crazy for charging this much for a piece of crap?

well, the power button isnt even connected.. lol. you replied in my other thread about the ribbon cable that i need to coonnect to the power button.
