The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

windows xp shortcuts and programs do not run

Asked by cataleptic_state in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: windows xp

my windows xp pro does not work when I try to run programs and click on shortcuts.

The icons do not come up either.
If I do run it, Spybot comes up to do a scan, does not find anything.

I can see the files in Program files but only firefox and photoshop work at the moment.

I tried to search the net for a solution but I cant even get into msconfig, regedit or HJT

I cant even change the registry with a .reg file.

Is there anything I can do?

Please help, this PC is at work and I have also tried doing a repair install and still nothing.

During the repair install the graphics card drivers ask to be installed and then it said run32.dll not found and gave me an option of what program to run it with.

Thanks in advance
