A possibility ( there are others). Had you by any chance downloaded a =
freeware program called Winuscon?

Hope this helps.

1. Make sure your antivirus software is fully up to date with the
virus definitions not more than a week old and do a complete virus
scan of your computer.

2. Do a spyware check & cleanup.
a: Download and run CWShredder (free) from
http://www.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip

b: Download, install, update and run AdAware (free) from
http://www.lavasoft.de

c. Download, install, update and run SpyBot Search and Destroy (free)
from http://www.safer-networking.org/


3. One of the best ways to improve the value of free System Resources
is to reduce the number of background "tools and toys" (a.k.a. crap
and corruption) that gets loaded when the computer starts up. Use
Start - Run - MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Compare the list of
items that are loading at startup with the following checklist web
sites to see what can be safely dispensed with:

http://www2.whidbey.com/djdenham/Uncheck.htm
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.htm
http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startup/list.html - has trojan related
items listed

Note: Please ensure that you fully understand the purpose of a
startup item, how and why it was put into the startup, and the
consequences (if any) of removing it before you make any changes.
Some items are very important for the proper and safe functioning of
your computer, including at least one item that is listed twice.

Disabling an item by unchecking it in MSCONFIG should only be done for
testing purposes or as a "last resort" when no other way of getting
rid of the unwanted item can be found.


Good luck

Thank you Ron,

I have updated the Norton and ran the scan, no viruses
found. I will attempt the other downloads if I can keep
Internet explorer up long enough to do so.

In reference to your comment: Note: Please ensure that
you fully understand the purpose of a
startup item, how and why it was put into the startup,
and the consequences (if any) of removing it before you
make any changes. Some items are very important for the
proper and safe functioning of your computer, including
at least one item that is listed twice.
This is possibly where I caused the problem as I did
recieve the warning that if I deleted some of the desktop
items some programs would not operate. I thought I would
get the window that would go through item by item and I
could click "yes to all" or "no to all" as applicable.
This being said,
question 1. can I fix this without repartioning the hard
drive as I had to do a couple of years ago?

Question 2. The state the computer is in now, can I
upgrade to XP as I was considering doing prior to the
fiasco?

Thanks for your help, Mary

Upgrading a computer with unresolved problems can often result in an
upgraded computer with still unresolved problems, so it would be
advisable to at least try a bit further to sort out the problems
before doing the upgrade.

In addition to the Norton antivirus scan did you also check for
advertising spyware as per item 2 in my previous response? Antivirus
software does not check for these spyware items and they can wreak
havoc on your machine.

Good luck

"The reason computer chips are so small is computers don't eat much."

[Mary]

Gerry,

The precise text reads:

A fatal exception OE has occured at 0028:C028A27A8 in VXD
VWIN32(05) + 00001200. The current application will
terminate.

Press any key to continue...
Press CTRL ALT DELETE to restart

This occurs when attempting to do most anything upon
startup, but primarily when attempting to go online.
Initial boot up now takes a very long time, up to 5
minutes. I can no longer double click an icon to have it
open, I need to right click and select open, and again,
it is slow to open. My standard home page has been
replaced with MSN.

Do you know if in fact Internet Explorer has added a new
search tool to their program? Last week I attempted to un-
install this new tool from my computer, along with 5
other programs that my daughter had downloaded from the
internet. I recieved a screen from Microsoft stating that
I needed this update to IE6. I choose to ignore it and
the problems began. I have since tried to uninstall and
reinstall, to no avail.

Tonight when I booted up, I was advised of the following:
180search Assistant Alert

WARNING

The system has detected that a third party application
has removed 180search Assistant, possibly without your
consent. This may cause some programs not to run as
expected. Please choose an option below:

Options:
(default) Re-install 180search Assistant so that your
programs will run as expected. Requires internet
connectivity.

-Leave 180search Assistant un-intalled, and clean up any
180 search Assistant files or settings that remain

-Remind me later

Silly me, I selected the 1st choice and now have numerous
pop ups and nothing is any better! Not only that, I then
received a window from Microsoft advising me that I might
have Spyware or some other thing and that I should
download something to clean it up with. I seem to recall
that Microsoft will only ever advise you to go to their
site for any downloads and closed out of this window.

At this point I recieved the error message described
above then the screen goes black with only a static type
sound when I try to locate the mouse. I can only shut
down at the on/off button.

The other programs that I removed were:

CS4P028.EXE
Infamous_Downloader
0021_bdl94126
SILENT.EXE
o.BAT
I found these in the recycle bin and dragged them back on
the desktop. Too late I realized that by right clicking
on them I could have restored them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Mary
