    - My computer keeps rebooting after installing Norton Security 2007 I installed Norton Security 2007 on my Windows XP Home Edition computer but it refused to work again. It keeps on rebooting and and rebooting all the time. I cannot use it for anything and I tried to reinstall the Windows XP CD that came with my computer, but in the middle of the installation, it says that a problem has been detected and Windows has to shut down to prevent damage to your computer. I am confused, I cannot do anything and when I tried to contact Symantec, they want to charge me money just to talk to them. What can I do? William Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287644

    - WinME in the dust? All indications are that WinME is not the subject of attacks anymore, since support for it has been withdrawn, IOW it was a blessing for this to happen. But that's just my personal opinion. I am open for suggestions to the contrary. As far as I am concerned, WinME will serve me for a long time to come. Thanks for listening. Harry.

    - HELP! Desktop disappears when I click on it, can't click on icons I've searched on the internet for an answer as to why I can no longer click and open the icons on my desktop, but I haven't found an answer. The icons don't move or anything, but the whole desktop disappears and all you see is the wallpaper, then it goes back to normal. However, I am able to access programs using my keyboard, but programs will randomly close, and they give no warning. I've scanned for trojans and viruses, and I did find one called bluebot, but I was able to get rid of it, and it seems that that wasn't the problem. I even did a second scan, and nothing came up. Restarting the computer doesn't fix it, not even temporarily. Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287573

    - registry went nuts Greetings, Had an odd one this evening. restarted the machine after a AV scan (AVG) machine started asking me for a win password (I don't use one) machine lost all memory of the video driver (ATI) machine would only start in safe mode. repeated diskscan showed no problems did a registry scan using PCTools Registry Mech. (no new problems) tried a restore but only had 1 point showing in the history record (date time showed it to be the same time I had restarted after the AV scan) so I did a floppy disk restart and a scanreg/restore (had a few dates from yesterday, picked the closest one to today) System restarted normally.. Anyone got any ideas what the h&&& happened.? Tks, RTS Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287559

    - MI5 Persecution: Surveillance methods 5/8/95 (5958) From: Pamela Willoughby <pjw31@willouby.demon.co.uk> Newsgroups: uk.misc Date: Sat, 05 Aug 1995 18:08:32 GMT Organization: Myorganisation Lines: 15 Message-ID: <142297143wnr@willouby.demon.co.uk> >Hmmm, strange eh. >I mentioned all this goings on to my boyfriend, who works for the >British intelligence service, and he assures me this sort of thing >never goes on.. not ever...honest. >Though he said the name was familiar... it does go on, although it's an open question who does it. Some time ago there were press reports of an Army intelligence person called Jones who claimed Diana and Hewitt had been photographed in a compromising position... he said he'd been doing this as part of an Army unit which had previously operated in Northern Ireland. Then Hewitt said he'd been told the same thing by some Army people, and that they were threatening to release the tapes unless they curtailed their liaison... as per usual everyone denied everything, painted Jones as the "Jones twins" - not very original in how they deal with their perceived enemies, are they? You have to wonder how they manage to achieve this sort of surveillance though. Audio you can understand, it's possible to put a microphone through the wall, and apparently there exist devices which will retrieve sound from a laser beam bounced off a window - sounds sci-fi, but there's a well known surveillance electronics company in London which sells these things. But how would you get video out of a room, unless you had actual physical access in order to plant a device for pickup? We're not talking about looking in from afar, but an actual device within the room. You could either drill through the wall and shove a pickup through; or you could supply a trojan device with a hidden pickup inside; but most likely, you would have to physically break into your target room to plant a camera. That's not an infeasible option; all it means is having your target(s) watched to make sure they're not in the vicinity, then you negotiate any locks on the property and find a suitable receptacle for your device. The next question is how they defeat the usual methods of counter- surveillance. We had private detectives carry out a "sweep" of every room and the telephone line. They found nothing. That indicates at least four possibilities that I can think of; (this is all guesswork BTW, and probably fanciful guesswork at that!) 1) no bugs (pull the other one) 2) radio-transmitting devices which can be controlled from an external source, ie you can instruct them to switch off when you detect a counter-surveillance sweep taking place 3) hard-wired devices; probe microphones or whatever they're called, things you poke through the wall 4) passive surveillance devices; so you bounce laser or radio waves off a suitable reflecting surface (again, sounds far-fetched but such things may apparently exist). 5) there is a fifth possibility, that the PI's didn't detect an actual transmitting device; there are technologies specifically designed to avoid detection, eg frequency hopping and suchlike. But how much sophistication could you build in to a device which would have to be small enough to be physically concealable? I guess the real question is to find out who is ultimately behind these "goings on". And if the "great and good" (or the better known, at any rate) can't protect themselves, what hope is there for the rest of us? 5958 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287462

    - Error message when downloading or trying to install anything. The error message usually looks like this. An error has occured. To continue Press Enter to return to Windows, or Press CTRL + ALT+ DEL to restart your computer. If you do this, you will loose any unsaved information in all open applications. File Name: VMM (12) + 0004C3C Error: 0E: 0028: C0283C3C This occurs in a blue screen quite a bit even when trying to run maintenance. I cannpt run maintenance in safe mode either without getting it. I was trying to download iMesh to try getting music and I couldn't download it either. The music I was trying to get before was from AOL Music Now which has joined with Napster. Napster said it wouldn't run with Windows ME only XP so I thought that might be my problem. Seems I can't download anything at this point. Is my computer trying to die, it is seven years old.

    - USB 2.0 Haven't had the need for USB 2.0 for our Win Me laptop until recently so had never really paid much attention to it. Evidently we need USB 2.0 to have the ability to charge an MP3 player. If I understand it correctly, for Win 98SE, one needs to buy software but for Win Me and later O/S's, the software may be downloaded by way of updating from the Microsoft website. If so, I can't seem to find that at the Microsoft download site. Would appreciate guidance at your convenience. Many thanks Dan Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287335

    - Re: Alias/Ubuntu Hopefully the address is correct, Alias. If I am not mistaken, a couple of weeks ago you asked for my notification in this case and here it is: My CD from "Ubuntu" has arrived and earlier as they projected, but as you already had suggested. Will have to decide the best way to install it on my machine with an 80BG HD, partitioned into C,D,E and F, with C=20, D=15, E=15 and F=30 GB's. E&F are completely free right now. Maybe you or someone else here has a profitable idea. The CD with "Linux" OS on it was mailed to me for free all the way from Africa and to everyone's information here, I would like to mention the meaning of the word "Ubuntu", it is: "Humanity To Others". In addition I am free to edit, copy or distribute the CD as I would wish. What an enormous generosity. Thanks for pointing me to it, Alias. Harry. Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287321

    - SATA HDD and letter mash yep, finally got it installed, BUT! I boot into windows. PATA is three partitions. SATA is one, newly formatted with SG tools. I show 2 of the SATA in Explorer. It grabbed D: and G: Looks OK in device manager, and drive at G shown there. (no duplicates or anything related to D), except that the properties page is for a CD/DVD. It has auto-insert available. And removable checked. The G, in explorer, shows up as a removable. Changing that, or removing drive, from device manager causes system to lock during restart. Reset causes it to reinstall with those defaults. Except for auto-insert which seems changable. An aside, maybe related, system has refused to do proper "shut down", noticed maybe day after clean install. I had not pursued that, but was not choosing shut down except on rare occaisons. Everything else seems to be working fine, including sleep, if I shut down Multpass server. Will pop out of sleep first time, with Multipass initialization error, but it still works. Maybe order of sequence and it gets restarted, however after the first sleep cycle it will stop coming out of sleep. Solution, after getting error message, manually shut down server and restart as necessary. I found at SG site where they seem to abandon their tools when installing 9x to SATA, or adding SATA for storage. The latter calls for fdisk once into windows. No hint on what partitioning to do. Looking for advice to overcome? Advice on fdisk, maybe set up without primary partition? Setting with extended/logical only, will that create other problems? Or limitations? Are there tools such as PartMagic that will work with disks having no primary? I was considering doing similar to a USB HDD that if plugged during boot also creates a "letter mash". I have been on hold for a long time with that idea because drive was already loaded with data. Slow transfer to clear it. Thought of using PM7 I had on deck, but apparently didn't solve problem, maybe limited to PM7 & USB HDD's. Now have PM8 on deck. Was loaded before meltdown of MOBO swap, add drives issue. I didn't like the way it was resizing partitions, that is not actually doing it but creating hidden folders that it showed as increases and decreases of partitions. And became leery that making, creating, hiding, etc. primary partitions was of the same type of voodoo. Does PM8 or any other utility do it in a manner analogous to fdisk? (question because with commercial and free utilities claiming better, why is fdisk still the blood of HDD setup?) Norman Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287310

    - Recent subjects I brought up I've sent three posts this morning - a response to Job, an inserted oar to Patc, and the response I promised Figgs (in which I now see I repeat quite a lot and its not quite as incisive as I originally meant). The first two got through, the last hasn't (I've reset the group twice). The last one gives my reasons for no longer believing in a law passed here some years ago now, allusions to which I've made before. The question is: who would censor it? Because these days it wouldn't necessarily be MS and such is precisely why I justified my current position on the emotive subject. If this gets through and *it* hasn't I'll repost it in various forms. Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287297

    - HDD issues I am in serious need of help or advice. Major problems started before Christmas when I simultaneously tried a MOBO swap, all other parts same, except attempting to add a SG-160 PATA and SG-160 SATA simultaneously. First lesson learned is not to attempt so many changes at one time. SATA drive not recognized on first port in BIOS, but was on second. Perhaps a bad MOBO? Well that was the thought and I continued. PATA drive was set on secondary master with a CDRW. To get MOBO functioning properly, I blew away everything in device manager and attempted reinstall. Numerous problems, mostly system stops during the hardware detection phase. (multiple attempts at reinstalling OS) Finally got up and seemed OK, for a short while. Except I then found that all drives were running in MSDOS compatibility mode after the first complete reinstall of OS. (No wonder it seemed like the slowest machine I have ever seen) No updates at that point so no system restore, or maybe it was the added drives. But unable to get it working normally and finally discovering that it had something to do with CDRW and SG-160 on same channel, Could not see CDRW in Explorer or device manager with both hooked up. (Everything was manually jumpered at this point, because the original MOBO manual said to do it that way and didn't even mention cable select) Not knowing what level of corruption or type of problem or how to even undo any of this mess, I blew away the drives. Data backed up, I proceded with format and clean install. Hardware detection went a little better. Gave up on hooking up the SATA drive at that time as couldn't get into windows with it hooked up even though it looked fine in BIOS on second channel. Somewhere in setting up the new PATA, to the best of my recollection, on boot I got a screen saying one of the drives was operating in MSDOS compatibility. System halted to avoid corruption ___something, etc. All drives would be set to MSDOS mode. etc. No restore points. I eventually did get that MOBO up and operating without the added drives. But the MOBO didn't seem to be all that hot and since I'd rather have the added drives, I switched back to the previous MOBO. And of course install to get it working. Not part of the problem, but part of the tale. After installing some utilities and all updates from MS and a few other things to satisfy myself that I had something stable, I turned the machine over to daughter who said she had a report to work on. I was tired and unsuspecting. Experience had taught me to avoid online land mines, but she apparently went straight to myspace and caught something. Within seconds the whole system sank to a crawl. Restores had no effect. Could not get on line at all. Each successive boot was worse until I could not even get task bar. Lesson number two!!! Don't let someone else touch machine until security suite is loaded. Splat! like mushy cow flop hitting concrete. A few days of careful work down the drain. This time, once I reached that point of installing, I made a copy to a second HDD and unhooked it. And I'm at the point I want to do the same with all the stuff that has been added, so I have a point of quick install and only need to add data plus changes. BUT!!!!!!!!! Now running the SG-160 PATA on primary master and CDRW on secondary master. BTW, found other MOBO was cable select compatible, so is this one, and that is the config I'm using. I have found out that the SATA drive behaves the same way on this MOBO, no show channel one, looks good in BIOS on channel two, problems beyond that, so have set it aside again, but at least it isn't the MOBO, I'm guessing. Tried to install a second SG-160 and set it up as a copy of the first. Seagates disk wizard (ontrack tools). First I noticed that manually setting partition sizes with slider, I could not get the same size partitions. Something wrong with their tool I suspect. Also noted that doing it as a copy of primary master it kept telling me second partition was 16K clusters. BS. Originally set up with 32K and size of 33,585MB, a point on the slider. Also went back into windows and moved a 1KB file to that partition and checked properties of it which showed it 32KB space used. Obviously a fault in SG disk wizard. It copied the C partition as expected, but not the other two, which only had data on dsk1 partition3, but I wanted it on my back up drive as well. Why not? Wouldn't hurt to have another backup of it on a drive that would soon be unplugged? Is there something wrong with that thinking? BTW, copying takes a lot of time, especially the tool copying the C partition from one drive to the other. Having gotten all copied to the new drive, I was looking to find an explanation as to why the slider would not stop on the same increments of partition size and see if I had missed anything I wanted backed up on that HDD. Guessing, it was 4-6 reboots when that darned blue screen of MSDOS compatibility mode stuff reared its ugly head again. Booted into windows, restore points are gone. Ugly point one? Unplugging that added drive, into safe, did scanreg /restore. So the setting that bars normal operation is somewhere in the registry. I would like to know what it is, if known. On one occaison I had no good registry restore points which led to another reinstall. Ugly point two, what in the registry is it? Determined to get me a good copy on a second HDD, I have pressed forward. And somehow, disk wizard I think, I started getting message about unsupported configuration. I have no idea why it had not popped up before. It gives option to ignore. It is not liking that second HDD is slave to CDRW master on secondary. Figure best not to ignore with the trouble I have. 2nd HDD is now slave on primary channel. And again I've had issues with blue screen, MSDOS compatibility thing. I just laid aside concerns that something may be done to MBR to original drive with choice of copy and make new drive boot drive, either leaving old drive in or removing. He told me the change is strictly by cable or position designation. Is there something wrong with having a complete usuable partition as primary partition on two drives simultaneously hooked up? Ugly point three, above? For what reasons may I be getting that blue screen message? Is there a good list related to such issues? Ugly point four? End of quarter and hoping the wind will be more favorable. Norman Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287215

    - Spybot PROBLEMS - Attn Siljaline+ I may have missed it here as I'm normally at the WinXP group but there is quite an uproar going on over the January Spybot updates. Apparently the update has caused scan times to double as a minimum for most users and extend to hours for others. A quick check at the Spybot website shows that they are working on it and it appears to be related to antivirus software conflicts. Some have disabled the AV programs during the SB scans with some success but most have not had good luck. Can anyone offer any help or ideas?

    - System Error - File Access ERROR I am trying to fix a friend's PC which is a Windows ME Celeron based PC. The computer has AVG and Zone Alarm running. The problem is an error message that appears at startup referring to access to a file because another program is using the file - I do not know what the "file" being accessed is. This computer is running PC Tattletale, a parental controls program. The friend wants to continue using PC Tattletale to protect her children. The program uses winload32.exe which will show up as a spyware program if you check it using Google. That's partly true as the software does, in fact, monitor activity (on the web, keyboard, sites visited, IM chats, etc). This program, however, is NOT the nasty program that comes up in the Google search. I have been assured by the software tech support staff of this fact. They are also working on this problem but so far no useful info has developed on this problem. The problem is that an explorer error is received at start up. This error appears ONLY if winload32.exe is called out in the HKLM run key. If I uncheck that file using msconfig, the system starts fine and no errors are present. But after the program runs and resets the winload32 file back in the startup, the error appears again at the next startup. The error is as follows: ********************************************* Run-time error '-21479024882(8007000e)' System Error &H80070020(-2147024864) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. ********************************************* This error appears with Zone Alarm and AVG antivirus not installed, and not running as well as when running - so they do not appear to play a role. The error doesn't seem to be more than an annoyance as clicking on the popup "OK" eliminates the error message with no issues until the next startup when it appears again.

    - Made another mistake Hi, I'll try to simplify the scenario. Here it goes: 1) By mistake I deleted Adobe Flash Player from Add/Remove Programs 2) Today, 1/14/2007 I received an update notification from Windows Update that I needed to download the critical pack KB913433 for Flash Player. 3) I tried to update it and it failed - since I had deleted the above. 4) Reviewed Microsoft's security bulletin MS06-020 about the vulnerabilities in Micromedia Flash Player from ADOBE that could allow remote execution (913433). 5) Tried to download Adobe Flash Player (which I had deleted) and it will not download(from Adobe's download center). Questions are: a) how do I download Adobe Flash Player? 2) what are process steps I should take? Would appreciate a response. Ed Tag: Crap Cleaner Update, 2/2/07 Tag: 287152
