Have a look at this site [url]www.outlook-tips.net/[/url] and on the Microsoft support knowledgebase. There are articles on how to remove the password request issue. there is a timeout glitch in Outlook that needs resolving.

What can we say from a distance? If I properly caught your drift, you all but admitted that your vacuuming of the PC interior may have been a bit on the rough side. All of a sudden the PC gives trouble. So what could have happened since the PC half …

I think we need a whole load more information to diagnose your problem at a distance. Exact message text would help; also exactly where in the sequence does the message occur? Can you now log on to your user account? One of the things we have to establish is what …

We need two pieces of information at least: 1/ What's in C:\Program Files? Prolly the programs you're missing. 2/ What's in the Registry? Prolly NOT the programs you're missing. You might be able to restore to the last known good configuration via F8. Your future father in law should use …

On my Dell laptop (Sigmatel Audio) I found the Sigmatel icon in COntrol Panel. Clicked on it and found the invitation to enable pop-ups for the jack. Hopefully you can do likewise with your audio system icon.

Well, we don't know what you mean by a blinking screen. Screens don't blink. Cursors blink. So a fuller description of what's happening is necessary. Including the URL concerned. otherwise how can we help you?

I can see you've tried to get rid of some trojan or other (Winser.exe) as they are listed file missing in the HJT list. -------------------------------------------------------- O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2429C56A-A701-43E5-B355-95BAA8F13158} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\mllmn.dll O2 - BHO: (no name) - {6DB3F881-19A2-4085-ABD0-DBD56E71F4F5} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\yayxyab.dll O20 - Winlogon Notify: yayxyab - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\yayxyab.dll …

How fresh an install of XP? Coud the prior Registry have survived? What's running when the hyperlink problem occurs? Is there genuine interchange of behaviour? i.e. consistently at all times IE hyperlinks are fine, e-mail hyperlinks are not? Which e-mail program are you using and is that perhaps hogging CPU? …

I think bobbyraw has the answer an expansion of which is located here: [url]http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12849[/url] Then you can stop worrying about where AR52100.sys is located! (Hopefully).

It means that the registry entries relating to these now removed trojan files are still present. [U]METHOD 1[/U] [U]This has risks if you are not conversant with Regedit[/U] and the general principles behinf registry keys. In any case EXPORT the registry (ALL) to a file in case you make a …

When a TFT screen goes on a laptop, there's only an outside chance that shuffling around under the hood will restore the image. We can all comment on the likely cause but I've yet to see anyone come back with a self-fix for this sort of thing.

Always difficult to diagnose at a distance - but it seems to me that the PSU is not delivering power to the disk drive or the disk drive is not properly connected. If that's the case it can't boot. If no splash appears on the screen, then it is possible …

I've used NERO for this.

It seems that somebody's installed something that's screwed your video drivers. When you boot, what happens? Does it seem to go all the way with disks whirring, keyboard flashing? Or does it stop booting or not even touch the disk? Does the keyboard flash at all during the first part …

Can you boot into safe mode and do stuff? When was this laptop made? I suspect it was pre SP2. The wisdom seems to be that if you can get hold of the SP2 disk (that came out with many mags a couple of years ago), or download & install …

You've done all the right things and you've proved the drive is fine. I assume it's a PC not a laptop that's giving trouble since you externally connected the drive to a laptop. So - cables don't just go phut unless they've been pinched for a while; is that it? …

A very good example of how a trojan replicates. I don't recall having seen this published for all to see. Thanks. I didn't spot anything in HJT but then I didn't put much effort into it. Anyway, my advice (which no doubt will differ from others who may reply - …

You're doing some hairy stuff. To the best of my knowledge, the identification echanism on a laptop is in the motherboard interface circuitry - but I'm not sure. You need a cable that matches the display in order to carry signal properly although I dare say that there are standards …

Set up your router, keep wireless disabled, connect directly to the router via ethernet and move forward from there. You'll need to do this to set the router up anyway. Then you try wireless networking having set the router to a different channel number than the ones you're currently connecting …

Depends on the registry policy settings. If your PC is a corporate PC, the Admin has prolly set policies to prevent you messing around. if this is a personal PC it is possible that a trojan has got to you and placed itself where it doesn't want you to go …

I orderd my laptop from Dell and specified by telephone that I wanted XP loaded not Vista. I hope that they still do this.

This question has been asked many times and the detail is all posted in past threads. In order to be helpful, though, I'd simply say this (rather than go into the square root of everything you've listed) - Vista is as good as XP for standard Microsoft applications. Many third …

[I]"My router speed used to be 48Mbps"[/I] You don't say, but presumably this ia a wireless connexion to the router and nothing to do with the modem speed. Yes? Also, whilst we're trying to help you, I would remove all complications like IP address restrictions - unless you mean MAC …

Is this your exam queastion?

This one is as broad as it is long on the information provided so far. We need to know the following: 1/ When you try and boot up, does nothing at all work? No fans, no lights, no disk whirring? dead and silent? 2/ Obvious question but still needs answering …

Confirmed. Partition Magic is a no risk solution.

Or format an attached drive and take a picture of that. Or have I missed something? Prolly!

What would I do in these circumstances? Assuming you've tried a wired connexion from the PC and it gives the problems you described: 1/ I'd have a look in my system files (windows\system32) to see what new files had appeared during the period when this other person had access to …

For everyone's benefit this is what you originally posted in someone else's thread: [QUOTE=katemccrew;505764]Hi - I 'm new to all of this and have an issue that is driving me nuts! I THINK that it is related to this post...... I believe that I have a key logger hacker type …

I suggest that you trawl through this lot [url]http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=51&eventno=793&source=Disk&phase=1[/url] In the above link it'll tell you about Event ID 51; you can then look up the others and put together a set of reasons that fit your combination. I presume all the jumpers on the new disk are correctly set …

I don't see how the CPU's damaged if it does any stuff at all. Could be a short on the mobo which vacuuming could remove. These things usually spell the end for a particular PC.

Reads to me like the boot sector is shot on what was your C drive. I'd stream off your data from the D partition (if you can - the method I would use is to slave the HDD onto another PC or use a USB enclosure). Then I would FDISK …

Did you mean download to your own PC or upload from your PC? The only limitation you seriously face is your internet line speed. For example, my internet [U]download[/U] speed is c. 16Mb/sec (based on a 20Mb/sec nominal cable connexion). My [U]upload[/U] speed is constrained by the service provider to …

If you had exactly the same problem as the referred post, presumably you re-installed Windows etc like the referral had done. From the HJT log I don't recognise C:\windows32\xload.exe as a system file. Do you know where it came from? Did you install it? I don't have one of these …

It's very difficvult to get rid of the trojan file that's running. Since you know the file concerend, you could put the drive onto another PC (e.g. via a USB enclosure) and remove it (and any others created around the same time) there. Reboot in safe mode in the original …

Your disk can be slaved onto another PC (e.g. via a USB enclosure) and data retreived that way. If you search the forum on this particular message there are many threads, many causes and many solutions. Hopefully one of them will be down to your situation. Often it's a RAM …

You can't get rid of stuff that's running. I would slave the drive concerned on another PC (or preferably in amUSB enclosure) and delete the files you don't want that way. Put the disk back in your original PC and in safe mode run Spybot again and a registry cleaner. …

The general approach I would take is to boot in SAFE MODE, locate the downloaded files and delete them. Then I would apply a Registry Cleaner (like Advanced Windows Care) to clear out the orphaned entries. I wouldn't then expect any problem. If, however, the CAB files have been installed, …

Exactly what is reported in Device Manager under Ports? Is there a ! mark next to ECP Printer Port? If there is, what is reported inside the ECP Printer Port entry?

I hope I'm onto the right track here. If you haven't already done so, have a read of this article and look again at your DNS Suffix Search List. Why do you need one? [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275553[/url]

We would need the HJT log to begin diagnosis. Have you searched in the registry for admd.dll? It is possible that the orphan entry is still there. Are there any other ill effects?

Climbing in late - but ... Diagnosis here hinges on knowing two things: 1/ The BIOS on an HP Pavilion (I don't know) 2/ From Atticus239 the exact beep sequence. Then we can refer to BIOS documentation somewhere where we'll find the POST detected problem. We haven't been told (or …

From my experience, XP 64 isn't faster than XP 32 unless the application is compiled to take advantage of 64 bit processing. In more (but not geekish) detail, XP 64 provides benefit where you can take advantage of 64 bit registers. An application compiled as 32 bit will not do …

Please explain exactly how you are trying to reformat your disk. As much detail as possible or we can't help.

Good one! The European Commission is a bunch of power crazy tossers who are absolutely out of control and tax robbing SOBs to boot.
