It's interesting how some posts are answered by the anti-trojan experts and others answered. I have to say I admire their dedication in nailing down some infections. But they are a scarce resource and can't deal with all requests for help. So this is where I come in with a …

If you haven't formatted the disk containing the files the recovcery should be achievable. This article might help: [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270670[/url]

If your symptoms correspond with mine, I wouldn't worry about it. My symptoms were that I wanted to quickly quit a massive print before it got going, so I just switched the printer off (connected by parallel cable). That gave me the BSOD with the same numbers. This was on …

Safe Mode: After the first boot beep, Press F8 a couple of times. That should bring up a Windows Boot Menu and you select Safe Mode. Safe Mode will ask you to log on. If you're lucky, the default [B]Administrator[/B] account will have no password set and you can recover …

Try locating the ipconfig.exe which should be in C:\i386 and c:\windows\system32. You might need to set an environment variable if you haven't got a path to the location(s). If ipconfig.exe isn't there at all, you have a different problem that would need diagbosis through the anti-virus, spyware or trojan route …

It's prolly time to recognise that the system was given to you more-or-less beyond hope of recovery. Then the Dell recovery trick, the activation issues and so on only serve to muddy the already murky waters. You could always slave the HDD and look arond on it in another PC …

This combo is able to report CPU temperatures, I believe. have you looked into this so that cguan_77's theory can be checked out?

I don't think the spinning mobo fans is a problem unless the CPU is hot before you start (which it won't be). Messing around with CMOS isn't a good idea and you have presumably set the jumper on the mobo to restore CMOS to default? Yes? Anyway, you say you …

This forum is full of how to deal with your situation starying with the top three sticky posts. SO have a glitch at these and post the required information. Cheers

You might need to set the legacy USB in the BIOS if your keyboard's connected that way. Dunno what's corrupted your system - either a screwed up HDD or a virus/trojan. You'll spend yonks on this. What would I do? I have the luxury of being able to connect the …

[url]http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6096[/url] The above link more or less completely defines the characteristics of your Westell modem/router. Basically it recommends that you put a switch behind the Westell not a router. However, because the Westell stopped delivering after 15 minutes - In the "Easy Login" page, are your session login details present? …

There is a setting in Network Connections/Advanced that specifies the order in which TCP/IP binds to an adapter. Since there is only one TCP/IP stack in Windows XP, you can't use two adapters at the same time. So your project seems thwarted to me. Your Linux suggestion might work; but …

Google "deleting confidential emails" and you'll find the shredder products listed.

The problem with providing an answer to this question (because there is one) is that we don't know if you're entitled to do what I would have suggested to overcome the problem.

O21 - SSODL: bxsbang - {150EC5D9-D67D-41D7-B51D-82C1AA6A2345} - C:\WINDOWS\bxsbang.dll O21 - SSODL: ocgrep - {32AD0887-2E57-455C-B546-09C5CC658B75} - C:\WINDOWS\ocgrep.dll I taher think these are the baddies. Can you delete them in safe mode? The Registry entries can be removed by a registry cleaner after you've deleted these files. I hope it's as simple …

To try the fix do the following [COLOR="Red"]after taking an export (backup) of your Registry[/COLOR]: 1/ Create a text file called xp_cd_dvd_fix.vbs 2/ Paste the next lines into it 'Restore CD-Roms and DVD's to Explorer 'xp_cd_dvd_fix.vbs '© Doug Knox - rev 04/14/2002 'Downloaded from [url]www.dougknox.com[/url] 'based on cdgone.reg Option Explicit …

Very difficult at a distance to diagnose. But it seems there is a common cause; unlikely to be the PC, so it's possibly the mains. Ant-surge devices need really good chokes to work and there's probably a capacitor gone behind a sensing switch that blows with the surge. Or even …

Just to add to cfry's note: I've noticed this with large e-mails (say 1MB); what happens at the end of the transmission (in my case) is a timeout error, although the mail has gone. I reckon that Outlook has got something the wrong way round and doesn't log the fact …

If you are unstilling the game, you might as well also go back to the last System restore point.

I don't think you do know even some things about computers if you've got yourself to this irrecoverable state. You can't format an NTFS HDD (I presume NTFS) with a FAT ot FAT32 Format; also the FDISK won't behave properly if at all unless it's the NTFS version. The only …

Your HJT looks clean to me - but others will quickly come forward if I'm wrong. Your heading is CPU Usage enormous. What does Tak Manager report as the runaway program or process? And have you tried stopping it in Task Manager or the Services window of COmputer Admin?

You could put the drive into another PC via a USB enclosure and chkdsk /f there. Chances are that repaired errors will not have left your boot area or OS files in a state of grace (50/50) and you'll then have to set up windows again or even rewrite your …

[COLOR="Red"]OK - saw your post above. Thanks[/COLOR] Have a read of the first three sticky posts at the top of this forum and then report back with the inputs we need.

How much do you know about this stuff? The principle to follow is that your DSL modem will be doing the up front work logging on to the ISP in either PPoE or PPoA mode. So when you attach the WR54G you should ensure that the router's access mode is …

You could try and put in a different picture and rename the file to what it was. I suspect you might need to ensure that the replacement has the same pixel dimension as the original. You haven't really provided much information as to exactly what this image is so that's …

If you google this string (with quote marks), there's a lot of stuff and suggested solutions: "automation server can't create object" user account It's no good me spouting off on this as these quirks are not common. Or did you already google the problem and tried the suggestions?

You'll hopefully get additional advice from others, but I recall the following from my experience: 1/ From W98 you can upgrade to XP Home or XP Pro but you have to install W98 first . You can try a direct install of XP in the hope that it'll ask for …

I also trawled the net for you and came up with this pair of BIOS related suggestions: [url]http://whocares.de/2004/12/28/error-loading-operating-system/[/url] My own bet is on the little known/MBR function in FDISK. FDISK /MBR will rewrite the master boot record. Good luck.

Any hardware device changes or upgrades lately? Any driver upgrades?

You could try repairing Windows from the CD. Is there anything else wrong with Windows or is that the only function that gives problems?

While you're waiting for someone with the patience and knowledge to write it all out for you you could swot up on Windows scripting and associated policies for ensuring that users on a network boot up to that script. The script can accomplish what you want. And if nobody else …

Of course it can be accomplished. if you use the setup wizard it should be a doddle. If your setup is anything like mine (I connect to Cable via a router - not Linksys though) then the default settings should work. The Cable Modem deals with logging on and if …

Usually this sort of thing is the graphics drivers crashing into other areas of RAM. So try googling the Intel Mobile 345 PROBLEM search.

I hope the ATI users on the forum reply to you - but in case they don't, with nvidia, I go to their control panel (Catalyst in ATI) and set the display controls to default. Sometimes you have to increase the Gamma setting to brighten the screen; for nvidiia there …

Not much to go on and not much you can provide. What would I do? I'd take the HDD out, put it into an enclosure, attach it by USB to another PC and then have it checked out by DiskDoctor or similar utility. I'd need to know whether or not …

Added memory, which you've done, can shorten boot up/shut down time because resort to the paging file is reduced. But there are other causes too. Like what gets started up at boot time; how much real data (as opposed to links) is stuck onto the desktop. I suppose you could …

You can get your data off by putting HDD into an external enclosure with USB and taking it off onto another PC. System memory: 640 KB Extended Memory : 446MB ... looks a bit strange. I haven't seen or rather noticed a 640KB message for donkey's years. I'll check that …

You'd need to post an HJT log on this forum. Look at some of the other threads and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Looks clean to me. You might wish to go into system informationand look for IRQ conflicts or other conflicts. Otherwise it's probably one of those one off gliotches that we all get from time to time and don't bother with.

Nasty one. What would I do? I'd cut my losses and not fart around with a situation that won't even get you into the start gate. Since you have successfully saved all the data, I would wipe the disk (remembering to use the FDISK /MBR facility to re-write the master …

Presumably you can get to the BIOS on boot and give the CD device Boot priority. Then if to boot from your Windows CD or OEM restore CD/DVD then it'll prove that the device is at least seen by the BIOS and works. With regard to step (E) in your …

You could output to CSV; import the CSV to Excel (I presume your report generator is something other than Excel); save the file in XLS format and send that to your boss. Or maybe print your report to PDF and his Blackberry PDF application might be able to read that. …

You could try in this order from CMD if the preceding step doesn't work: ipconfig /flushdns (you might need to do this again when you get home) ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew

What I reckon the software company have done is to stamp a bad block to the game disk. This means that their production technique is crap as they apparently don't CRC check their image to the stamping machine. The bin's the right place for the disk. When I was in …

The virus/trojan is either loaded from your pen drive (if you're "lucky") or it has moved to your HDD and is accessing its parent on the pen drive. Putting the pen drive into a another PC and doing nothing else than reformatting it should clear the pen drive. Or throw …

You'll need to posdt a HJT log here so that the branios can see what's running. Looks like a browser hijack to me on what you've said but this needs finding and eliminating.

What does the left hand click button do with anything else? And have you checked your Mouse sttings - yes obviously!

ithelp is on the right lines I'd say. Looking at your referenced thread, it seams that your overwriting back of missing/corrupt files might have put your system back into a default account state. I didn't check that deeply. Incidentally your Registry might still contain a Kyle reference that doesn't match …

The evidence of monitor being driven by this newly built system lies in what the BIOS displays. What can you tell us about the booting process? Clicks, whirrs, keyboard lights?
