Did you disable the virus scanner when you installed Ashampoo? Many programs recommend temporarily disabling the antivirus program to do the install, so that the antivirus program does not attack parts of the program you are trying to install.

My recommendation is uninstall Ashampoo. Disble the antivirus scan , then reinstall Ashampoo. Once installed enable the virussccan.

If this does not solve your problem, you are looking at a reformat.

Trying to clean the machine can take a while.

Like 5 minutes ago I enabled my task manager because it was disabled, and it contains very weird files :O

As you can see there are like 4 IEXPLORERE on the system, but I never use iexplorer, only firefox, and the readers_exe, oep7.tmp they are all weird...maybe I have to uninstall nod32 or something I really dont know what to do anymore bro...

Well...its strange, my computer is going crazy, with no problem I burned last night 2-3 dvds, and now everytime I burn a dvd my computer restart automatically...and after 2 hours my connection is not available, and everytime I restart him the connection comes back again...I dont know what to do anymore, I formated my computer like 4-5 times...I always get the same problem, I never been through this before, never had problem with him...looks like I have to get a new computer or what?

Oh man I hate image hosts that require you to disable adblock. You can upload your images directly to videohelp or use a service like www.imageshack.us to host your images.

Something wonky is definately going on.

What I have to suggest is kind of a last resort if you can't figure out the problem.

If all else fails then I would recommend wiping the harddrive clean with dban and then reinstalling your OS and all your programs. Sometimes a complete fresh start is the only way to solve some problems.

Keep in mind that dban will completely erase your entire drive so back up any important data and have your windows disc and other software ready for a complete reinstall.

Thank you very much freebird for the nice post, it looks like that dban can help me solve my problems, but I never used it before and never heard about dban before, can u please explain me more how I can use him and all that, so he does erase allllllll the data I have installed on my computer?
So I dont have to format him after he delete em all?
Im just asking, because I really have to fix my computer
Thanks again!!

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect

so he does erase allllllll the data I have installed on my computer?

Yes it erases absolutely everything. You are just left with blank hard drives.

So I dont have to format him after he delete em all

Yes you will need to reformat/reinstall windows and all software.




I have used dban for some of my customers before. Wiped the hard drive with dban then re-installed windows so that they could sell their computer and be safe knowing that it did not have any of their personal info left on the pc.

I can not stress this enough... DBAN will completely erase/wipe all hard drives in a pc so make sure and backup all important data and also make sure that you have your windows disc and installation discs for all your software as YOU WILL NEED TO REINSTALL EVERYTHING

Just dowload the dban iso and burn it to a blank disc. Then reboot your system with the disc in the optical drives tray. DBAN will give you options on how to proceed.

Here is a pdf that is included with the dban download that gives more specifics on how to use it.

I've have similar issues in the past when trying to run various appilcations or simply install software. My problem was bad RAM.

Okay my friend, thank you very much, now I get it all.
I will give it a try tonight.
Sorry if I bother you with my problems hehe *turnsred* I have one more question.
Im an adminstrator in a inet caffee/club, and every computer has his own connection, but my "important" computer lose his connection after 2 hours...I cant open firefox, iexplorer turns out to be on my system "task manager" but in fact I never use iexplorer, only firefox, and after I restart my computer the connection comes back again and gets lost again after 2 hours...so it does have somethin to do with the viruses and other?
Sometimes I get this message... "Generic Host Process For Win 32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close.We are sorry for the inconvenience "Send error report" or "Dont Send".
My father says that it has somethin to do with the program "utorrent" he is wrong, I use utorrent for 5 years, never had a problem with him or somethin like that, when I get this error and trying to log in on msn messenger it says "invalid IP" impossible, I even changed the new network card.
I will download the dban program, no doubt, I have to fix this, once again, thank you very much for taking your time to fix my problem

...inet caffee/club...so it does have somethin to do with the viruses and other?

My "guess" would be yes. Especially in an open environment like an internet cafe...

Good luck to you. Hope you get it fixed. Like I said before though use dban as a last resort after you have tried all other possible fixes.

It could just as easily be a hardware issue like bad ram as suggested by KrispyKritter.

Where are you getting your IP? It could be a problem with your router (if you are using one) and the way it's handling DHCP. Most likely the result of a duplicate IP on your LAN. It could be that you have more than one router on your LAN, in which case only ONE of them should be running DHCP.
