What exactly is TeaTimer, anyway? And yeah, I forgot I had BitTorrent 'cause I never use it, so I'll chuck that.

I've had my laptop since June or July of 2008 and realised I've never posted a HJT log anywhere, nor even downloaded it until tonight, so here's my log. Anything I should get rid of? I'm trying to...

While shutting down my laptop before going to bed last night (technically this morning, heh), after I had hit Start then Shut Down, before the window (or whatever it's called) came up asking if I...

Okay, so I have WMP10 and I tried WMP11 some years ago and absolutely hated it, the reason being was that editing media info in 10 was about seventeen billion times easier (in fact I don't think I...

Okay, now I have two more questions:

1. How do I get the Wireless Zero Configuration to say "started" permanently?

2. I can connect to the internet (i.e. access Firefox without my homepage...

Sorry for replying to my own post, but I can't edit and I figured out the problem. After an hour of googling everything I could possibly think of, I finally found the solution: I had to go to...

I'm not entirely sure if "window" is even the right term. Okay, here's the deal. I finally figured out earlier how to get my laptop to connect to the router and got online wirelessly. I started...

It seems to work if I plug the drive in before I turn my laptop on, although it seems to take a minute or two longer to start up. I always have my laptop plugged in (I don't have anywhere to take...

I'll probably buy a powered USB hub (they don't seem to be very expensive according to Google) but in the meantime, is it going to do anything bad to my laptop (e.g. fry the mobo or anything)?

Last night I bought a 160-gig Toshiba external hard drive at Circuit City for backing up my current files and for storage of future downloads. When I plug it in, I get a message that says something...

How would I know for sure that it's the motherboard and not merely a loose connection somewhere? I'm not skilled enough to take apart this thing.

There's a computer repair shop not too far from...

My Compaq Armada M700 laptop has been giving me an error message that says "103 Charge Circuit Failure" right after the "bootup" message, before Windows starts, and the battery is not charging (right...

I bought the laptop second hand and it worked perfectly fine for two months--then one day when I was taking it out of the closet I keep it in at night, I accidentally bumped the corner of it on the...

I recently bought a used Compaq Armada M700 with Windows XP because the main computer turned off by itself one day and won't turn back on (we're pretty sure it's the power source). Anyway, for the...

Okay, I think I finally got rid of it. I've been on the computer for several hours and it hasn't popped up once.

My bad, it's actually WinAntiSpyware 2006, not 2007. Apparently it's part of something called UltimateCleaner 2007, which I guess installed itself on my computer automatically. I can't find that to...

I seriously cannot get rid of this damn thing. I've tried KillBox-ing it, I tried Ewido, I tried SpyBot Search and Destroy, I tried SpywareDoctor, I deleted its prefetch files, I did a Hijack This...

No, I just hit that combo twice and it didn't do anything.

My cat was just in the computer room with me and he jumped on the keyboard, and suddenly my browser closed and I was logged out! Well, not "logged out" exactly, it was like I'd clicked "Switch User"...

Okay, I tried to delete all those files again and after using Pocket Killbox and then HijackThis again I got rid of them (at least I think I did--they are not showing up in HJT anyway). Here is the...

Sorry for another bump, but I still need help with this...

bump

Here is the new HJT log (I think one or two files may not have been deleted when I clicked Fix Checked):

Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at 3:15:59 PM, on 6/15/2006
Platform: Windows XP...

Sorry for the double post, the whole half-an-hour limit thing you know... Anyway, I tried to do something in Microsoft Word, and it would not open. I kept getting a message that said "This...

I don't know if this is the same type of virus as last time, as it was my mom who first encountered it and not me. Right now the Avast is turned off so the pop-ups won't come up. Here's the HJT...

It didn't work. I double-clicked it and it restarted the computer, but nothing else. I checked the Task Manager and everything that was running before is still running.

I'm not sure what vb runtimes are, so I don't know if I have them installed or not.

Xp.

I downloaded this thing and unzipped it, and clicked Setup, but it keeps saying "Insert Disk" ... does that mean I just have to insert any old 3 1/2 or do I need a special disk which I in all...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this; feel free to fling as necessary.

I have a TON of stuff running in my Windows Task Manager (the little box that comes up when ctrl-alt-delete is...

Sorry for the double post, can't edit, more that 30 minutes, etc., etc.

I was going to use AOL Instant Messenger today, but for some reason the shortcut on my desktop is missing (and I didn't...

We've recently upgraded from Netscape 7.1 to version 8.1. I've gotten used to it and like it fine, except for the fact that 7.1 saved recently visited sites in the pull-down menu below the URL bar...

Yay, worked! Thank you. I think everything's been fixed now.

Okay, I think I got it fixed; however, if I need to hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete to exit a window or whatever that won't close, I get a message saying "Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator." ...

I just checked, and I don't see a blue globe. I'll try restarting the computer.

EDIT: Restarted, and still no blue globe. However, I did click on "Windows Update" in my Control Panel under...

I visited Windows Update and it said I needed to be in IE5, and I know I have IE5 so I went there in that browser and got a "Page cannot be displayed" error. So I went back and tried it in Netscape...

Messenger Plus 3! was not in the list of Add/Remove Programs, so I went into Safe Mode to look for the folder and it was not there. I did find a Messenger Plus 2! folder which had only one .dll...

I would uninstall Messenger Plus 3, but I don't know where it is exactly on the computer (the file path).

What is Service Pack 2?

For some reason, WinPFind isn't working for me. It only seems to be scanning one file, which is a .txt file so it shouldn't take very long, but it seems to be taking...

Stop was grayed out, so I couldn't do that.



Did that.



Done and done.
