....and then there is the straightforward way. Go Start, rclick in the header or tail, click Properties >start menu > customise > advanced, and check run command.
It's actually a neat lil spot if u use the Start menu much.....

steve? BUMP!?

steve, is that proxy server address correct?
http://localhost:9100/proxy.pac, in this
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,AutoConfigURL = http://localhost:9100/proxy.pac
It seems to point to this, but i cannot get it to work..
O4 - Global Startup: Run Google Web Accelerator.lnk = C:\Program Files\Google\Web Accelerator\GoogleWebAccWarden.exe

i think it may be a bad proxy from the google web accelerator, and with it not working u are not going to get on the net. If you really do not need it, try fixing both those entries after uninstalling the web accelerator.

HT often reports those two files missing. And if they were you would still be able to run the puter. Wgalogon is the genuine advantage notifier, the other is messenger related.

Twoyorkie... are you sorted now? i got a bit confused by the threads in here.... glad to have been of help, anyway.

Samashahdi.... HKLM is hivekey local machine... u gotta open up those folders.... now i also meant for you to open current version [by clicking on it] , and not to merely expand it by clicking the plusbox. Sorry though, in my original post i put a space in the dataword registeredowner. Try searching for that... and BE CAREFUL IN THERE!!!

twoyorkie commented: Much needed info supplied with ease,thanks +1

samashadi,
u gotta open up those listings.... [HKLM is hivekey local machine..] and i meant you to open the folder "current version" by clicking on the key, not to expand it....but more simply, when in the registry, highlight my computer , then just go up to edit tab > find, type registeredowner, and let it search. [sorry, i put a space in that word in my earlier post...] AND BE CAREFUL IN THERE!!! it is the heart of your puter. well, a fair bit of it....
Twoyorkie... are you sorted now? I got a bit confused by the threads running....

uU.... if i helped you on that i would get banned from here. You have to logon to the Netgear server from any one of the lan'd pc's, but it would be password protected for sure. I'm sorry. Check with your techie. Or the boss.

You are blocked. Period. The Netgear server running on your gateway, router, whatever has been programmed to block email sites obviously. It isn't even going to forward your connection requests onto the net. Your boss requested it; only he can have it altered. And if u reprogrammed the server yourself they would know about it.

-these things never fail to amaze me. thank you for that reply. I am not sure how it ties in, but i suppose it came down to page presentation.... although why it would not exhibit the same symptom with a game or similar high vid usage process is beyond me. Cheers.

"the registered name in Windows"!!! so that's what you wish to change... you shoulda said so!! Easy. start>run>type regedit. Go to this key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\current version [open this by highlighting it]...and there you have it, down near the botom of the list -registered owner! Highlight the name, change the data entry via edit > modify.

from Task Manager, when your iexplore CPU usage rockets, what does the network usage indicate concurrently?

gerbil 216 Industrious Poster

perhaps you are long since sorted... but not by anything i read here. the windows log-in name..... do you mean the one that is shown if u follow this path :- Start > control panel > system > computer name? And if u do, well, now you know how to change it. Nothing is forever....
