I cant download.

hey falks.

a fewdays ago ,some one did a diskclean up on my computer without my permtion.....
And I dont know what he had deleted from my computer,now I cant download any thing,not anything...
So, any idea what would be missing out of my computer that i cant download i am using Windows XP profissional
CIAO.

 

Hello vitalForce,

Could you be more specific about what "diskclean" is - was it using a 3rd party cleaner or XP's cleanup tool?

Have you tried a System Restore just prior to "a fewdays ago" ?

 

yeah man ......i tried system restoring ...
and its windows system tool disk clean up.

 

Hi vitalForce,

I was hoping it was a 3rd party tool - they usually have an option to backup what they clean.

And it also may be coincidence, may not be the problem unless your friend went one step further in the Disk Cleanup dialog and removed some Windows Components.

Forgot to ask, by chance do you use ZA Pro as a Firewall? If not, what firewall do you use? The firewall may be a culprit as well. To test that - disable the 3rd party firewall and enable XP's.

Another test - if you're using IE, do you have another Browser installed, and if so, have you tried with another browser like Firefox?

 

well,sir ...
I tried all of those above you mentioned...
Yeah i used W.XPs firewall....still no improvement...
Do you think removing Direct X will cause that...I think he removed or dmaged Direct X I tried to download direct X but unfortunatly I cant download DX neither.

 

Could be, but I doubt it, it would cause problems with the display, can't think how it would affect downloading.

You can go thru these actions with IE that I mention in this thread:

If you answer Steve's question that I should have asked - thanks Steve maybe we'll know more.

 

well,folks...

nothing worked I reinstalled the windows XP....now I am All good but ,sure i have to do some downloading and reinstalling..

BTW thanks for the help...GOD bless you guys.
