you could run hijack and check off and fix the 015 and see what happens .
Also try going to tool in IE ,go to internet options /security and click on default levels .

Your log look ok now!

also the hijackthis.exe ,create a new folder on the c:\ call it c:\ HJK ,and put the hijackthis .EXE in there ,for backup purposes .

Well I guess thats the price to pay for doing the right thing!
I will try and save up a few bucks and send you some to help out .I do enjoy this site !

Go to Run ,and type in SFC and Restore missing or corrupt files

Hi,I've had that link in my bookmarks fo a few years now ,I to have a hard time on the microsoft site ,I usuall find the articles when doing a search with Google Search .Like search "How To Fdisk" .

When the computer boot you should see the bios Version # ,write it down .

then search Compaqs site with you model # or what ever ,and compare the bios version with the latest avaiable update .
you really need to be sure you have all the right info as a bad flash can render the motherboard useless!

Right 34 if that what it showes,
a Bios Flash might have a fix for this ,but they can be deadly !

When did it tell you this !! My wife thinks shes' Martha Stewert !LOL
What do you mean it thinks it c:\documents setting ,
,were is it written C:\ documents settings ect ect

I would have to question if that old computer actually is recognizeing the 160gig Hardrive as a 160gig ,go to mycomputer and right click on the C:\ drive and see how big it is and how much space is left ..

Glad I could help

Right ON ,love it when things work!!

5. Just remove all the logical and leave the physical ones there and that should fix it.

Correct me if Im wrong ,but this will not join the logical with the Physical part of the drive .,it will just make that part of the Drive useless for storage !Right .
The Drive s will still need to be Partitioned over to correct the problem ,Either with FDISK of some 3rd party software .

Same Error Different OS ,win NT error here but i would bet the same cause .

Is it possible to move IE to something other than c:\program files\internet explorer? I want to use that space to put a Firefox installation so that applications trying to open IE will open Firefox instead.

How about renaming the old directory? It says its in use when I try.

Thats just not how windows work!

Try control panel/add/remove programs/ set program axcess or defaults /

where are the cap file located that you are trying to extract

If you used 3 different browers you should be able to go to this site ,I have no problem getting to it from you link ,and I use IE srtup tighter than a Drum!

Try system restor back to earlier date ,or try botting to XP disk and run the Repair .

I have certainly noticed lately that an increasing amount of 'Spyware' product advertisements appear. We most certainly can't afford to have those advertisements generating problems on people's PCs rather than leading to a solution for them.

The reason for the increase in Spyware products is because the Advertiser knows people are coming to this site for help with Spyware .
Most Rouge programs put spyware on you computer to FIND ,just in case you didn't have any ,if you have none you would incline not to BUY the Program,Right !!!
Anyway my starting this topic was just to warn users od the site that the NO-Adware program being advertised was a Ripp Off!!According to the info in The Rouge link in my signature .
Just noticed this top was moved to the Coffie House ,were newcomers wont see the message anyway .

This might help .
