Suspishio

Please read the first three posts in the virus forum, then post a HJT log in there. Then we can take a look at things.

What would I do? Same as you. If I can't get further in safe mode, I would boot from the Windows CD an effect a Windows repair. If that didn't work, I'd stream off my important data via a second PConto which I'd put my HD (USB enclosure) and wipe …

[QUOTE=caperjack;462547].... in Ft.McMurray Alberta oil sands mine.[/QUOTE] @ caperjack As a matter of interest, is that the Fort Hills block?

Lokk at the first three sticky posts in the Virus section of this forum and then post a HijackThis Report there.

Aren't you supposed to clock the new CPU at the proper speed? Have you got jumpers on the mobo to do that? And is all in order with the FSB speed? I wouldn't have done what you've done without first being sure that this mobo wasn't the "economy" version wired …

You're kidding. No consensus would ever be reached because there are hundreds of mobos out there with hundreds of variants and thousands of bits and pieces to fit on. If you're really lucky, people might get locked in battle over Intel vs AMD, Quad versus Core 2 duo; ATI vs …

My serious advice is to regard this PC as spares for the almost certain next PC that doesn't work properly. It's only to be expected that some donated PCs won't work for any number of reasons and to have spares is a useful luxury.

Tere are peer to peer FTP softwares available. Google that, set up the same software at both ends, read the help file and press the button.

The concept works provided you recognise that you are turning the second router into a switch. Your thinking is basically good. The following should thus work: 1/ Disable DHCP on the second router 2/ Change the IP address on the second router so that is on the same network (e.g. …

bobbyraw is 100% correct. Why would anyone want to sell their copy of XP on eBay? It's been opened, it's been activated - it's no use to you at all, then. You really should find the money to buy from a good value retai outlet. Far less, nay zero, grief.

I suspect that nobody wanted to commit themselves to the Finnish stuff in your HJT log being OK! Apart from those entries (which you can probably vouch for). the HJT log looks OK. The only caution to note is that your system will be fine only if no system process …

Not sure I completely understood what vigneshvh was trying to tell you - but reading between his commas, he was probably supporting your own conclusion. Rather than dick around with your PC (you could try an antivirus program such as Spybot and/or AVG which you'll need to download but your …

Not a lot, I'm afraid. In most cases, a reopair from the W2000 CD is necessary. You could try booting to "Last Known Good Configuration" when you press F8 at boot time. Of course you need to find out why this has happened and if it's a Trojan, your best …

We've had a few of these over time. if the foregoing don't do the trick, I've got two suggestions for you, both of which stand a good chance of success because they address the most probable root cause. 1/ Try running the command from CMD: [I]Regsvr32 urlmon.dll[/I] 2/ Do the …

There should be no problem booting from your Windows XP CD in recovery mode and using FDISK to reset your partitions etc. ANd then move forward. Or is that what you did? FDISK is important to be rid of Vista.

The current HDD can be placed into an external USB enclosure, attached to a second PC and the data you need can be streamed off by normal windows copy means. Then you can format the drive on the second PC and do the clean install from the Windows CD in …

Is there a USB stick or CD/DVD in the drive and your first boot device isn't the HDD?

I've been in this game for more than 20 years and I know when "dumping money" is dumping money for poor return. If you can invest in a new laptop, do so. The HDD can be slaved in a USB enclosure and you'll lose no data. I know it's not …

I swapped my Belkin router out and put in a Draytek because I was losing the internet ADSL connexion on the router. Not because I suspected the Belkin, but because of the greater diagnostic functionality of the Draytek. Anyway, the problem turned out to be the shitty service from the …

Rwductio ad absurdum suggests the PSU that plugs into the mobo isn't delivering the voltage. Whaddaya think?

I dunno about all that IP address stuff Belrog recommended; seems rather convoluted and unecessary as you would simply choose Dynamic IP Address in the DI-524 and be served IP addresses by the NB1300. You would thus ensure that on the DHCP menu in the DI-524 you have DHCP server …

[COLOR="Red"]I notice the post is 22 days old - so prolly we're wasting our time here.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Red"]this thread is 23 days old so there's prolly no point in replying to it.[/COLOR]

I never set any security on the folders I wanted to share across the VLAN so it bnever asked for any credentials.

You've not given us much to go on. This happens because either a program is badly written and doesn't allocate or manage its data buffers adequately, or a low level operation has illegally addressed the memory space that was previously the buffer's; the latter is very rare. So, what application …

When a PC not in a state of grace (whatever reason) is hard shut off whilst it is trying to close into a state of grace - the position worsens. You say the system "repeats the process"; what is repeated? The nothing or the password field problem? The latter may …

A new motherboard (your 1999 motherboard is not capable of any sensible upgrade). From that follows a whole choice of bits to stick on. First thing I recommend having been through both processor type is to dump AMD and go Intel. You then have the choice of dual core or …

To be definite for you, PC2100 and PC2700 SODIMM have the same form factor. So long as you are not trying to replace the 184 pin SODIMM version with 200 pin (i.e. you are replacing 200 pin PC2100) then it'll work fine.

From CMD try: IPCONFIG /flushdns and see if it brings back DNS resolution. No doubt you'll google this first then you'll see what I mean. let us know.

Very difficult to say what problem you've got. What would I do? If it doesn't POST, I'd be suspicious of both the mobo and PSU. The fgact tht there's no HDD activity (please be certain about this), points to the PSU. The PSU is cheap to replace - but that …

yes you can and it's all set down in cast iron solid gold hardened dilithium oxide here: [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022[/url]

You say very clearly that BOTH computers are cable connected to the router. But you also say that the wireless is set up on the second computer too. So not too sure what's going on there. You haven't mentioned what the second computer reports when you look at the network …

Try this although I've no idea how your settings got screwed in the first place: Right click on the Desktop and select [I]Properties[/I] [I]Click Settings/Advanced/DPI[/I] and select your desired setting. Go back and click [I]Appearance/Advanced[/I] and select the item [I]ICON[/I]. Select the size you want and then OK out of …

Looks to me you've been hijacked. But you've not said anything about your symptoms so I won't say any more until you've done four things: 1/ Explained what those symptoms are 2/ Look in this forum for ComboFix download instructions. Then post a ComboFix log. 3/ Download AVG Anti Spyware …

[B][COLOR="Red"]EDIT: Follow Gerbil's guidelines and use my post below for helpful information[/COLOR][/B] The baddies are listed below but something's cleaned them out. But the damage seems already to have been done, probably in the registry. I would look through your Windws\system32, \windws and c:\ for files with funny names that …

Do your family log off leaving something running? Or has your family downloaded a trojan?

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WinAble] C:\Program Files\WinAble\winable.exe The above was your trojan, I reckon, in the original HJT log. First thing to do, IMO, is to go to the location and note the date and time that the file was created. The next thing I'd do is to hunt around in …

Dim recollection tells me that when you initiate a boot, holding down the C key forces it to boot from CD. Once you have booted from CD you can repair or possibly edit the BOOT.INI record on the HDD. There's stacks of stuff if on BOOT.INI via google - especially …

Safe Mode: Boot and after the first beep hold F8 or press it a few times till you get the menu for going into Safe Mode. Log in As Administrator - I assume no password is needed. But then what will you do? I douibt that you know. So read …

It depends on which thermal compound you used as to whether or not it is electrically conductive. If it is, your CPU is unlikely to be fried and after cleaning it up it should work (famous last words). If none of the fans spin up, then you've prolly got hard …

I replied to your other post about 64 bit. The benchmarks rate the 6850 better than the 6750 in most of the tests. If those tests are applicable to your uses for the CPU, then you'd take the 6850. I faced that choice too and took the Quad 6600 - …

Defragging can't cause what you're reporting (famous last words!). Something else has happened. Is there a CPU hogging program running in the background?

These are the suspect entries that I could quickly find: ------------------------------------------------------ O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IMJPMIG8.2] msime80.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MsServer] msfir80.exe ------------------------------------------------------ Have a look here for the solution to the problem.

(a) They should be able to boot from external DVD drives if you've got the BIOS USB Legacy setting on. But I've never tried it so the answer's theoretical. (b) If you can read the Ubuntu CD you can read the Windows CD although I appreciate that from your description …

[QUOTE=smitster;458955]i am having a similar problem only i do not have acces to other accounts, will this tool work for me? or is ther an easier way to fix this eg safemode etc. if so how would i get into safe mode?[/QUOTE] At the first beep on boot, press F8 …

If you can't get onto the internet, you have a problem unless you have a second PC and a portable drive to download remedial stuff. The Anti-Spyware forum here will take you through what to do and it's long winded. You might also consider my manual method which is described …

If you can boot from the XP drive, you're already further than it at first looked likely. Short answer is that you have no realistic hope of merging Registry data in if you can't perform an upgrade in the formal sense. SO re-install your software. In which case, the drive …

Maybe the gateway IS offline from time to time. We'd like to know more about the connexion to the internet. Could you describe that? 1 Mb/s on a shared LAN? I wonder how many users there are and do any of them complain.

Your x-mother-in-law would say that your father-in-law had failed! LOL. I presume that when you uninstall the printer it all works OK. can we establish that please?

Not much to go on here. PC or laptop? Does the keyboard flash a couple of times during boot, disk whirrs etc? In other words is the computer booting but you can't see what it's doing? Quite often on PC's the monitor cable becomes dislodged and needs re-seating. And you …
