If you are using Win XP then go to Start-Control Panel-User Accounts. If you have no password then go to change  account option and then follow the instructions and create yourself a password and give yourself administrator privelages. Make sure your Guest account is turned off. That way you will have your account pasword protected. This does not however prevent the person from entering the setup and probably playing havoc with your computer for which you could press either del or F2 immediately on startup and then go to the option of supervisory password and user password and give yourself the passwords. That way you will be asked for a password when you switch the computer and will also ask for a password if you want to enter setup. Some CMOS chips dont have this options. Another peice of security that you will have to put in place if you tend to leave your computer alone in between is for you to set up a screen saver by right clicking on the desktop and clicking properties and then going to screen saver tab and setting up the required screensaver with the required time delay and password protected. So every time you leave the computer the screen saver will turn on after the delay and when you get back it would ask for the password. However this does not ensure a foolproof method as the person can still take control of the computer immediately after you leave the system and before the screensaver turns on. In such a case you always have to either set the delay very small or start the sreensaver and then go. Setting up a small delay might be irritating as every time you are idle before the computer the screensaver takes over forcing you to keep entering the password. \nHope this info helps. All the best

I had the same problem on my computer a while back. I tried everything to get rid of it, but I eventually broke down and bought a windows product key. It was something like $150. I'm still pissed about it.

I did a Google search and found a site that makes some suggestions.  I see it includes an idea posted above ( Start/Run/appwiz.cpl ), plus other ideas:\nhttp://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/windows-xp/13705-missing-add-remove-programs-option.html\n\nI have had problems with other applets not working in the past, and Google helped find solutions.

Probably the version of windows you are running is corrputed and you need to reinstall that version of windows.

Make sure your the administrator. If you already are, try running them in a different mode. Right-click, Properties, Compatibily and play around with them for a while.

If you are getting illegal operation errors, I'm assuming you have Windows 98SE, as this is a common occurance with IE and 98.\n\nIf you actually have XP, then I suggest doing an online virus check at one of the sites I've listed below.  Both are great virus and spyware programs as I have both, one on my home PC and the other on my Notebook.\nSecondly, make sure you have all your microsoft updates too.  These are very important. \n- I hope this works.  Good luck.

There are several possibilities, including malware, spyware, etc.;  ALSO, overheating, lack of RAM, too small "paging" file, windows "glitch", etc.\n\nNOTE: regarding "BABE 19" suggestions.  You should NOT run more than ONE (1) of each type of protection on a single computer at the same time.  Doing so can cause problems!!\n(I wonder when she is going to learn to capitalize!!)

I would suggest reloading your dvd software.  This should fix the problem since it installed for a different OS and you upgraded the files might not work on the new os so you will have to reinstall to get  it to work on winxp  \n\nOS = Operating System

I would check your direct X version and make sure that you are running the most up to date version.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx

Do yourself a favor and buy a licensed copy of XP.  \n\nAnd when you get it, reinstall Windows doing a "clean" install.  You'll be surprised how much of a difference that will make.  Look into making backups onto DVD or a second hard drive as well.  Once you do a clean install and reinstall all the apps you use the most, make a backup right away.  That way you'll have a quick restore disc you can go back to anytime you have problems down the road.

Sorry, don't really have a solution for this.  Did a quick Google search and came up with this:\n\nhttp://www.updatexp.com/0xC0000005.html\n\nWhich says:\n\n"The error 0xC0000005 is generated by an illegal "memory access violation". This can be caused by anything from faulty RAM, an incorrect/corrupt device driver, poorly written/updated software and more commonly under Windows XP Service pack 2, malware/adware installations."\n\nThats all I could find.

XP W/ SP 2 IS ACTUALLY (man, that's annoying) quite stable.  With problems like that I'd try reinstalling Windows--this'll give you a fresh install and wipe out stuff running in the background.  If same thing happens with fresh install you probably have a hardware problem.
