Do you have php available to you?

It's possible to password using javascript, but it's not as secure, so a server side method like php is the preferred solution.

free or pay? personal or commercial?

I was under the impression xhtml 1.1 was simply xhtml 1.0 strict with a few minor tweaks.

Probably, yes. A developer who's 'on the ball' should at least be able to write xhtml, even if they prefer to stick to HTML 4.01 strict.

looks cool.

how about fading that with more white? e.g. white with just a trace of pink. I don't have to tools to get a code for that on this machine.

Have you tried updating Norton? and the two online scans?
If none of them can fix your problem we'll have to do it by hand, in which case hopefully one of our more senior members will drop in and tell you exactly which ones to delete...

Other than that maybe I'll post a list of what I consider you should be deleting and ask someone to check it.

Have you updated your virus definitions? You appear to have a worm.

You might want to try an online scan from http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/ and/or http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

edit: 2 worms!

log looks clean as far as I can see. a few minor things but nothing that should affect your problem.

if the images have small color palettes try a png.
if they have large palettes (i.e. photos) try jpegs.
then reinsert them and see what happens.

part of your problem is that you're using frontpage... if you really want it to look interesting you need to either know how to manipulate the source, or you need to have one of those graphics intensive sites with massive download times.

I suggest you learn html first, then look at css. Css is what will probably make your site more interesting.
http://webdevfaqs.com/ - check out the rollovers section under css.
http://www.w3schools.com - learn html and css

My personal standpoint is that new sites I build will be xhtml, the old sites will be whatever standard was popular at that time. I won't be going round every site to update them.

Personally I rarely if ever use javascript. However the official standpoint on that is that if the function of the script is critical to the operation of the page, then it should be done server side.

Congratulations - I think that's called taking the initiative!

go to the file on your hard drive, right click on it, and see if you can open it with notepad. If not, go to notepad and navigate to the file. Either way, remove the extra code.

Does that help?

Do you have two counters there or is this part of the one you wish to remove? if so delete it,

<div id="Layer13" style="position:absolute; width:200px; height:37px; z-index:13; left: 134px; top: 579px"><!-- BEGIN WebSTAT Activation Code -->

and

have you googled this? There's a few useful links there:
http://www.google.com/search?q=asp+generate+csv+file&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

well deleting duplicate files is kindof a silly thing to do, so I don't know why that feature is in there...

In actual fact I was looking for free software for reg cleaning... ;)

could you boot from a second hard drive and use easycleaner's undo feature?

If you go into msconfig and tell it to load normally
or
selective startup with everything ticked

Then what happens? i.e. a new log? or does it still go back to selective? or what? msconfig has something to do with the lack of entries.

have you rebooted before posting that log? it looks kinda thin on the ground...

Did someone else tell you to remove it or did you just decide to? I cannot find any information on the file, so you could use your backups to restore it if it was not related to your problem.

I recently started using a program called easycleaner, from www.toniarts.com though I got it from major geeks. I've used it a number of times on different pcs, without any trouble, but I'm a bit cautious about software that edits the registry... Does anyone know anything about:
a) easycleaner
b) Toniarts?
Basically I'm happy to use it on my own machines but I'm not too certain whether I should use it on other people's machines or recommend it...
Cheers
Dave

yes if you're careful but wouldn't it be easier to uninstall? e.g. via add/remove in the control panel?

edit: personally I use easycleaner: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download414.html
Note that this is not a download endorsed by the forum. I've used it a few times and not had any problems. Beyond that you use it at your own risk.

either:
1) get a new designer
2) if you're IT literate then you could ftp in and change it yourself. (I can probably tell you what to delete.)
3) Find someone you trust who's it literate, give them your ftp details, and get them to change it.

I have 19 and I affect others by 1 point too.

small mind -> idiotproof

I was going to start pulling my hair out. :mrgreen:

Not a good idea...
:cheesy:

add
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
to your body declaration (yes it was that line!)

hence:
BODY {background-image: url("Images/Sideline.gif"); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: 0% 0%; font-family:verdana; margin: 0; padding: 0;}

You should also have a <body> tag after your </head> tag.

Your style sheet is being addressed on your c drive...

<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="C:\BobbyRags(New)\BobbyRagsNew.CSS" TYPE="text/css">

Not having access to the contents of your harddrive I will have considerable difficulty reading it...

Upload it into the same folder and try:

<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="BobbyRagsNew.CSS" TYPE="text/css">

You may wish to have it all in lower case.

use a 1 pixel paintbrush?
OR
set the canvas size to be the width of the left bit, paint bucket fill, expand canvas, 1 pixel brush?

if you write your own css it's less confusing than computer generated stuff ;) same as html actually.

I should have looked at your previous posts in other CSS realted threads... Just thought you were confused... Sorry... :o

lol what can I say? my favourite passtime... :D

its a rotation setting deffinatly trust me on this. it would be correct all the way up to the loading of the video driver because the monitor display's in VGA mode when booting up so that it is compatible with all forms of video cards.

Catweazle's virus would load at about the same time though wouldn't it?

does that make you happier?

so how on earth could someone as childish as that get enough rep points to affect yours? :(

ah not to worry - I had half of them disabled in msconfig, so I re-enabled and they're clean now.

I've been cleaning this log up in accordance with the tutorial file from merijn, but most of the entries keep coming back. Adaware cleaned 1157 entries off this earlier, and Spybot a further 50...

Can someone take a look and tell me what's reinstating all these problems?

yeah I was just increasing his general knowledge of css ;)

you can also use left/right/center instead of justify.

why not head in in safe mode and delete the files you think are neutralised?

ps: the "do not post hijackthis logs in this forum" at the top of the page is to stop people just posting a hijackthis log for analysis, as they should be in the security forum. I was just interested to see if any of the entries had been changed/removed.

You can alternatively just uninstall the msbb one by uninstalling the 180search assistant as I mentioned earlier.

The msbb entry is the 180search assistant. If you did not intend to have this on your system you can uninstall it by following the instructions here: http://www.180searchassistant.com/uninstall.html

Maybe you read it before I edited it to add that in - I didn't want to do too much double posting!

Glad you've fixed it.

Would you like to post a new hijackthis log so we can see which entries are left and which have been removed?

I did end up getting the membership btw.

Congratulations. :) I won't ask any more details. ;)

have you tried using css?

<span style="text-align: left;">text</span>
You can use any element you wish, and other than 'left' you have 'right' 'center' or 'justify'. If you wish to use most of them you'll probably need a block level element like a div or p.

btw can you create a restore point with your system restore? perhaps the problem is that there are no restore points to return to?

have you run adaware from www.lavasoft.de and spybot from www.safer-networking.org? I can see a spyware entry, which either of those might clean up.

The msbb entry is the 180search assistant. If you did not intend to have this on your system you can uninstall it by following the instructions here: http://www.180searchassistant.com/uninstall.html

There are a few other entries in there but you'd have to get someone more experienced than me to tell you how to remove it 'just in case'.

actually I did, but it still didn't work.

ah well. maybe I'll have to do productive things instead. :(

and assuming I really want to play the game?
It starts unpacking and then says no directX, so there's no easy way round it...

try this:

Boot to DOS
Put the Windows ME disk in the cd drive
goto cd rom drive (ie d: )
Type:
cd win9x
Extract /a *.cab rundll32.exe /l c:\Windows

Hopefully that will work.
