    How to disable error 0xc000007b - Win XP Home ?

    Indeed, the error messages were caused by a virus, which apparently got in when I was using my USB flash drive. Cleaned them and no more annoying pop-ups. Thanks

    How to disable error 0xc000007b - Win XP Home ?

    Hi all, I have an Asus eePC netbook with Win XP Home SP3, and I'm having some issues with the error messages: This usually happens after I open the web browser ( FireFox ). I did some research and they point to either a virus, a .NET or other program uninstall. This is a new netbook, used from...

    find all duplicate rows using awk

    Maybe something like this: awk -F, '{ a[$2,NR]=$0; c[$2]++ } END { for( k in a ) { split(k,b,SUBSEP) if( b[1] in c ) { print RS "TIMES ID" RS c[b[1]] " " b[1] RS delete c[b[1]] } for(i=1;i<=NR;i++)...

    Can't copy files from external drive

    Hi, Linney, in my situation I've no password or certificates saved, I don't even recall being prompted for one back then - so for me all the encrypted files are not recoverable. Tlcscousin, thanks for your advice, but my backup consists only of my documents ( books, music, pictures, etc )...

    Can't copy files from external drive

    Well, the methods described in the links you provided help when the certificates are saved ..., actually I don't remember having saved a certificate somewhere though, and surely I have all the files. Thanks anyway. _____________________________ Correction in my previous post: should be:

    Can't copy files from external drive

    Hi all, Definitely Freestone. One of the hidden ( and very poisonous ) culprits of the files' access denial. While searching I saw many other people with the same problem and as the story goes I totally forgot I had encrypted my partition, and it badly bit me back now ! So I have to do the...

    Can't copy files from external drive

    I think I'm making little progress...upon closer inspection of the properties of the good files and the other ones, I see that the bad ones have encryption checked ( in Advanced Attributes tab - Encrypt contents to secure data is checked ), and in the Details tab of Advanced Attributes I see my...

    Can't copy files from external drive

    Hi, I followed your advice, gave full control to my id, made sure it goes down the tree of subfolders and files, selected Copy ..., but surprisingly those files still refuse to open :( Example, I have some pdf files in the same folder, one opens normally whereas the other one does not. I...

    Can't copy files from external drive

    Hi dippncope, yes they are same files as in the external drive, ( files themselves are of different types, ie .pdf , .doc , .txt, .jpeg, .mp3, and so on ). Hi Ben, I'm following exactly the steps described in your link, but for some strange reason is not working. I'm going nuts ! It's been...

    Can't copy files from external drive

    Hi, I have a SimpleTech external hard drive ( formatted as NTFS ), and a few days ago I needed to reformat my PC ( Windows XP ), so I copied my docs, my pictures, etc, to this external drive. So far so good. After I reformatted my PC ( again installed Win XP ), I tried to copy the files back...
