An unusual problem faced by one (or may be some) of our visitors that the
Windows Logon displays the following Logon Message in a box:
“The system cannot log you on due to the following error:
The program issued a command but the command length is incorrect.
Please try again or consult your administrator”.
What I found is that the [...]

Unable to delete a file and annoyed by Windows giving this message “Cannot Delete Folder: It is being used by another person or program”? Don’t know which process to kill?

It happens many times that we want to delete a file or a folder but can’t do so and get an error message that the file [...]

This is a problem that happened to one of our viewers. His system got infected with a virus but his Anti Virus cleaned it successfully. But what was strange is that during the next startup his system showed an error message “C:\recycled\SVCHOST.exe not found”.
I came to know that this problem is mostly caused when scanned [...]

So let me guess you have infected your system and tried many solutions to clean it. There are many ways to clean the system and of course the final step is to Format the PC which no one of us wants to do.

After receiving a problem from a user, I think I should discuss what [...]

Strange but true, there are times when we decide to get rid of some virus or a worm by reformatting the system but even after formatting the PC we are shocked to see the virus back in our computers. This is what happened to my friend who formatted the PC just to get it cleaned [...]

It happens most of the times we just like to listen to the audio of a video file and add it into our music library. This is not a problem any more as this can be done using many tools available and of course without using them as well.
We can easily convert the video to [...]

My PC was working all fine until I figured out that Group Policy gpedit.msc was not opening on my system. I wanted to open the Group Policy editor for some work and I was shocked to find that not only the gpedit.msc, even the other commands with msc extensions, were not working like services.msc, devmgmt.msc, [...]

My Antivirus (Symantec) and I are good at finding any virus or any suspicious file and removing it successfully. I am able to remove any virus from the system or a pen drive without any tool and have been doing it for a long time now but there are several files that we feel suspicious [...]

Never thought that this can be a problem but it is true that one of our readers wanted to know what to do when System Restore does not open.

You can also open system restore by typing %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe in Run box (try running this command before trying following steps).
So to keep it short and specific, here [...]

OMG!! You have accidentally deleted a file that you wish to use further, instead of another that you actually wanted to delete. What’s more you have emptied the recycle bin as well! This is the common thing faced by almost all of us some or the other day.

Wondering what to do when Windows have no [...]
