cant seem to find website for driver..need c3000zoom driver for xp

did you try olympus.com.!! The USB Drivers for Win 2000 should work with xp

You need to do what Chrunchie said to do in post #5 ,you still have new.net and WinTools

Put HJT in it's own folder before fixing anything with it or you may end up with backups scattered all over your desktop (like C:\Documents and Settings\Brent Williams.NA-OJSYSNA69ESY\Desktop\HJT\HijackThis.exe instead of C:\Documents and Settings\Brent Williams.NA-OJSYSNA69ESY\Desktop\HijackThis.exe)

Sorry I missed that ,Good idea,but have you run hijackthis 1.98.2 lately and did a fix ,it creates a backup foler,and puts the backup file in it ,so the files don't get scattered like it use to ,

Don't see anything taht will help with you 100% problem cleaning needed of this Stuff in the log

After you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

1. Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

   See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

   Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources

2. Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
3. Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

   For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

   Understanding and Using Firewalls

4. Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, …

Your copy of HijackThis needs to be in a folder of it's own. When HJT fixes anything, it makes backups of the original files in the folder it is in. Since Temporary folders are emptied now and then (the files are DELETED), it would not be a good idea to have your backups there. Those backups would be VITAL to restoring your system if something went wrong in the FIX process!

1. Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.

This won't get rid of it but you can change witch one is first and change the time it takes to choose one or the other .
Right click on mycomputer /properties /advanced/startup and recovery /settings ,and pick the microsoft windows xp ,and change the time if you wish .

Because my computer run slow,I reinstalled windows system yesterday.But now I can't find some drivers,VGA,Sound Card and so on.I listented that some softs can scan hardware .Somebody tell me how to find out the drivers and where are they download the drivers.My English is not well,I hope you understand my problem.Thank you!!!!

Well you could remove everything from the computer and get the numbers off the cards and stuff and search www.driversguide.com for them !
or you can ust a program to tell you whats on the computer and it may even give you a link to a site to get the drivers .Get the home editionHERE

If the program doesent give a site to goto ,it should at least give the name of the chipset of the video or sound or what ever and you can go the manufactoe site of check on driversguid .for the drivers !

Okay, I'm attempting to set up a slave hard drive on my computer. Can't get it quite right. Can anyone help?

Yes ,but we need a little info on what you have for a computer ,and how it is setup now .As there is a couple of different one out there .:)

I'm trying to help a disabled person with her Hotmail woes. When forwarding an email message her customized signature graphic shows up, but no other pictures or photographs. I've tried different configurations in the Options and Tool boxes to no avail. Would anyone be able to help? Thank you.

I would sudjest they stop using hotmail and use outlook express or what ever other no Web based email program is onthe computer .my wife uses hotmail to try and send and recieve pictures and it sucks big time !! I try to get here to setup a outlook address but she doesnt want to have to start using a new address .

Not a problem, take your time!

Thanks again!!:)

sorry for taking so long I searched for the floppys and iam missing disk #4 ,sorry ,can't find it anywhere !

Thanks for giving me some sites. Now I'm kind of confused. Someone gave me a reply saying that CD ROM as well as DVD ROM don't need drivers. That's why the person only gave me the driver of my printer. Is that right???

Thanks for help.:confused:

You shouldn't need them ,windows will load default drivers ,give us some details on what you computer is .

Warning the registry is no place to play around if you don't know what you are doing ,

All you need to do is open regedit and use the search option in edit ,after you find the first reference to something you delete it then just hit F3/delete then F3 until it tells you it finished searching ,You need to do this process over for each different program !l

any program that removes malware and costs money is not worth it all you need is ad-aware, spybot S&D, hijackthis, and a good firewall. That is it you could also get things like spyware blaster and such but it is not a necessary to have.

All after the fact programs ,some blocker program ,IEspyAd, Spywareblaster ,spywareguard, and TrojanBlocker[not free but trial fully working for 30 days ]will make there job easier.Check the Spyware Tools link in my signature

thats funny, also why did you take a computer to a company to have it formated? its easy pop in a disk and follow the onscreen options etc. especially XP, very simple.

Easy when you know how[Getting really easy win winxp as you sa y] ,The average user doesent even know how to navigate the Windows directory !!

Thank you guys! You're terrific. I have both Spybot and Ad-Aware, as well as Norton Antivirus, Hijack, Shredder, Spywareguard and SpywareBlaster and I still have gotten bugs in my system. How do you keep those updated? I thought updates were only for paying customers. Norton found something a little while back that Adaware and Spybot didn't pick up, but Norton did not remove it. That's why I was asking about another software just in case there was something that could make up when there was a gap.

Except for Norton all the programs you mentioned are FREE!! To all ,not shareware ,or trials versions ,FREE.

Caperjack

Thanks for that. USB ports working fine now.

Thanks again.

Glad to have helped ,I use to work Phone Tech and we use to have to do that for some Palm problems with Hotsinc and palm Desktop .

The problem I see is that even if you were to create a second partition and copy the applications to it then do a reinstall you would not have working applications.
Data created by those applications can be saved.
For example: If you were to copy the program files folder to the second partition, reinstall then move the program files folder back to the main partition you would NOT have working applications. The installation process involves much more than placing the program files in one folder, they install DLL's in the system folder, They add entries into the System Registry etc...
All too often I will create a backup of a persons hard drive on a second partition to save their data only to get a call saying they found the program using explorer but they cannot run the program...
Again, I tell them they need to reinstall the original program in the current OS then they can use that program to read their data from the second partition.

You are correct i missed that word "Applications " didn't take it to mean the program was already installed and running!! no can do!!LOL
