I might have to reformat? Everytime i start up i get this box that pops up that reads " Windows File Protection: Files that are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognised versions To maintain system stability Windows must restore these original files Please insert your windows XP Home Edition service pack 1 CD now" I want this to go away!!! I refuse to reformat because i have far too much data to lose. I also have done this before and i lost all the work i did for 2 cds and i lost over 400+ albums. |

Please insert your windows XP Home Edition service pack 1 CD |

the message does not say it will format your disk, only replace missing files. When you say you have done this before and lost data, do you mean this message has appeared before, you did what it said and lost data? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why dont you empty your hard drive and then format? im going to do this one of this days...that is if enemies dont invade to quick |
||||||||

you have your night vision on? |

"the message does not say it will format your disk, only replace missing files. " That is what i thought ...... until i read the disc. "use this CD to reinstall your operating system" Those damn enemies have even created a disc to fool me!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd go ahead if i were you, true the disk can be used to reinstall your os, but in this case it is only being used to copy original system files for replacement. |

by the way, when was the last time you visited microsoft's windows update site? I just did a search for the problem that you are having, some people are having the same problem due to a virus/worm. If this has caused your problem then there is a patch available at MS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just cant get up the courage. It is all such a big ploy! All the work that went into my new album!!! 18 hour days here and there. The time and the dedication. The careful tinkering here and there. Making the same effect 20 different ways and trying each out to see which best fits. If i fucked up and this reinstalled it would kill my ambitions. |

Interesting. I have removed 5 virii. 4 detected by norton. Then norton expired and i left it and got AVG 6.0 which later detected some sort of virus. Maybe this has to do with it? Could you maybe link me and do you think it could help *is horrified* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok, can't you work around this problem? If you close the box does windows function ok? I'd still check the update site, this will NOT cause any data loss and may actually solve the problem :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did AVG remove the found viruses? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When i click cancel it says "you chose not to restore the original versions of the files. This may affect Windows stability. Are you sure you want to keep these unrecognized file versions?" then there is that yes and no box. If i click yes it will be back in like 3-5 minutes. Which interrupts disc burning and cancels it resulting in the disc being trapped in the damn burner forever until i reboot this bitch and take it out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When i scan now i am supposedly virus free. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, if you are using microsoft internet explorer... 1. Click 'Tools' at the top 2.Select 'Window's Update' from the menu. 3. Follow the instrutions on the page. Only instal any critical updates, like security issues or stability fixes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you have recently updated AVG (like in the last week) then you should be virus free and safe...for now ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok i did that..... New Windows Update Software Required The Windows Update site has been updated. To update your version of the software and begin using Windows Update, click Update Now. i can click that forever and it really doesn't seem to do anything. It brings up that box like "do you wanna run and install" and i am like "shit yeah bitch" and nothing seems to happen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm, have you got as firewall running? if so then turn it off just for this update process. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes sir! I did as you mentioned and turned it off and then did this twice to no avail. someone will pay the ultimate price $24.94 plus shipping :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is there any error message or error number? can you tell me exactly what you can see(what box, what does ot say) and what happens when you click what button. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

" Windows File Protection: Files that are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognised versions To maintain system stability Windows must restore these original files Please insert your windows XP Home Edition CD ROM now" then you can press "retry" "more information" and "cancel" --------------------------------------- When i press cancel it pops up with "you chose not to restore the original versions of the files. This may affect Windows stability. Are you sure you want to keep these unrecognized file versions?" yes/no yes results in it going away for a short time (between 5 seconds and 6-7 minutes) Hitting no goes back to the same message |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Clicking on more infomation brings up "possible reasons for this problem: - You have inserted the wrong CD (i.e., a different Windows product CD than the version installed) - The CD-Rom drive in your system is not functioning." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, i meant when you are on the update site. Can you run through the actions you take up until you reach a problem with the update process :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok i get the Security Warning. Do you want to install and run "windows Update" signed on 8/25/2003 7:19 pm and distributed by Microsoft Corperation Publisher authenticity verified by Microsoft Code Signing PCA Caution: Microsoft Corperation asserts that this content is safe. You should only install/view this content if you trust Microsoft Corperation to make that assertion. yes/no/moreinfo |

|
Clicking yes shows me on the webpage New Windows Update Software Required The Windows Update site has been updated. To update your version of the software and begin using Windows Update, click Update Now. and clicking that starts the process over again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, bare with me a minute... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you running any software called Guard-IE ? if yes, you will need to uninstall it for the Windows update process to work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I went to add/remove to check and i didn't see it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i have found this suggestion on the site, to a problem similar to yours. 1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 DISPEX.DLL" (without the quotes). You should see a popup message that this process succeeded. 2. Connect to the Windows Update site and see if the download hangs. (remember to turn the firewall off) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok i will try it out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok. I followed that advice. That run .dll worked because i got a pop up that said it was sucessful. Went to the update site. Clicked update. It had that green progress bar thing fill up and then it went to New Windows Update Software Required The Windows Update site has been updated. To update your version of the software and begin using Windows Update, click Update Now. i clicked it a couple of more times and the same green progress bar |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By the way i must thank you tremendiously helpful during my nervous breakdown! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to offer me advice!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, try this, you may want to print out these instructions before you continue.... If you know how to empty all temp internet files then do it. Let me know when you have DO NOT TRY THE UPDATE AFTER YOU DO THIS!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No problem, i just hope we sort this and i don't end up wasting both our time :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait..... print out what instructions? and why? before i continue |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, i havn't posted the further instructions yet! have you deleted all temp internet files first? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
after you empty your temporary internet folder then follow these instructions :) If you need help 1. Close Internet Explorer. 2. Delete files IUCtl.dll and IUEngine.dll from both the system32\dllcache and system32 folders. 3. Delete the registry string value “SelfupdateStatus” present in the HKLM\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\windowsupdat e\IUcontrol key. 4. Delete iuenginenew.dll, if it exists. 5. Restart your pc, try the update process again with the firewall off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry, i didn't finish that sentence up there... if you need help with the registry step (3) let me know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i deleted the files by going under tools>internet Options and i cleared the files and three makes no sense to me :D hahah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also what is going to happen when i delete this .dll's? in step 2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, so have you searched for and deleted the files mentioned in steps 2 & 4? When you have... 1. Click Start, Run and type 'regedit' into the run box without the quotes, Run it. 2.You should now see a new window open up with a folder structure on the left. 3. Follow this path on the left... HKey_Local_machine\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversio n\windowsupdat e\IUcontrol let me know when you are in the folder IUcontrol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
these .dll files will be regenerated with their default data next time you boot windows |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It appeared that i didn't have a system32\dllcache folder i found em under system 32 and deleted them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am under IU control |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's ok as long as the ones you found are gone only from those two folders! Do you know about hidden files and folders? Are you sure that folder is not hidden ? Check this before moving onto the 3rd step. |
