    - VBouncer Hello. About four days ago SpyBot found two instances of VBouncer in my C:\WINDOWS\TEMP folder, which it was unable to remove. I told it to try again on re-boot and it was unable to remove them then as well. I tried to delete the files from the folder and I can't do that either. I have scanned with AdAware 1.3 and it doesn't even find any instances of VBouncer. Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of these? Can anyone tell me what the risk is that VBouncer represents? Thank you. Tag: Netstumbler question Tag: 249157

    - Uninstal Program Question I cannot perform a clean uninstal of NIS (Norton Internet Security pkg) using start/settings/control panel/ add remove programs. Nothing happened when I repeatedly tried. I'm concerned if I go into "My Computer", and take out all visible portions of this program I will leave behind file fragments and corrupt the reinstal job that lies ahead of me. Help! I'm in no man's land. Did Symantec drop the ball on this or Windows ME? Why is this happening? And what is the solution, please and thank you. Tag: Netstumbler question Tag: 249155

    - Best Backup Utility Please ? About a year ago, I spent a great deal of time researching the internet and reading many reviews, to select a good, reliable , backup utility. After much effort and reading, I selected Genie Backup Program. Although it has the features that I love and has a pretty intuitive interface, I find it to be unreliable and flakey. My OS is Windows ME. The main features that I want are : 1. Can write to CD. 2. Can automate on a pre-set schedule. 3. Stable, and reliable. 4. Practical and intuitive interface. 5. Easy backup restore process and interface. 6. Easy selection of folders and items for backup. ------------------------------------------------- Compression or encryption are not needed. Also, I never need more backups that what will fit on one CD. I guess my needs boil down to reliability and intuitive interface, as well as automation if possible in the same package. When I started out looking for an acceptable product a year ago, I thought that it would be simple to find a very good product for my limited backup needs. I don't feel the same way now, after reading glowing reviews about Genie Backup Program and then using it for a year. I hope this is posted in the right groups. If better or more proper groups exist, I would appreciate direction to them. Thank you very much for any helpful input on this !!! --James-- Tag: Netstumbler question Tag: 249123

    - Windows Media player My WMP (the one that came with WINME) got corrupted and stopped functioning. I removed the folder WMP, downloaded WMP 9 and installed the program. However, it is not functioning either (the program opens and then freezes the computer to the point that I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL twice and restart). Is it possible to reinstall the WMP that came with WINME (I still have the CD)? If so, how? How do I uninstall WMP 9. It is not listed on the Add/remove window. -- Luiz Carlos G Monteiro lcgmont@globo.com Tag: Netstumbler question Tag: 249115

    - C:\OLDREST\TEMP When I run mcafee it hits a hidden system file called c:\oldrest\temp. This file is almost 4 gigs and contains over 65,000 files with the file extension of .cpy, the earliest file creation date is 1997,which is older than my PC bought new in 2000 and the last entry is 2003. Mcafee spends the better part of an hour checking this file. My question is does anyone know what this is and what its for, can I delete it or shoould I just have mcafee exclude it?

    - dat file icon changed - how to change back All the DAT files have a Nero Multimedia icon against them. How do I change the icon back? Listing all the options under 'open with' does not give me the original DAT icon. In fact it warns me not to change it! Using Tweak UI, icons restore, does not cure the problem. It seems to have happened after I installed Nero 6 and did some critical updates from MS. AVG, XoftSpy, NoAdware, Spybot and CWShredder do not find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

    - RUNDLL Error Recently, I deleted some keys in the Windows Registry to remove all obnoxious Adware files on my Windows ME operating system. Shortly after, I started constantly receiving a RUNDLL window popping up with the message "Error loading winup.dll The system cannot find the file specified. I had made a back up copy of the Windows Registry before deleting the Adware keys. I tried reverting back to that back-up to solve the RUNDLL error messages, but to no avail. Can anyone help me before I cave in and have to pay Microsoft their $35 for help on this? Thanks! Joe Tag: Netstumbler question Tag: 249044
