    - Error Message I am getting this message every time I boot up my PC: motivesb has caused an error in kernel32.dll The only thing that I have done before getting this message is that I tryed to install a new printer HP cartridge. HP said this is not related to a cartridge but to remove the matcli.exe from startup. I did this and I do not get the error message. The motivesb and matcli files have something to do with the Verizon directory who is my DSL provider. I do not understand why the problem occurred and why removing the matcli.exe from start-up fixed the problem. Anyone who has an answer, please email me at above address. Thank you Tag: Uninstall Hosts Tag: 223198

    - Unwanted Toolbar I am trying to unsubscribe from GroupLotto. But when I clicked the unsubscribe address, they added a ?Fun and Games? toolbar to Internet Explorer. The website for this tooIbar is toolbar.pickoftheweb.com. I know I can go to View|Toolbars| and remove the check by the ?Fun and Games Toolbar? so that the toolbar will not be visible, but I would like to remove the software from my computer. I would appreciate any help I can get to remove the unwanted software from my computer. Thanks, Al Tag: Uninstall Hosts Tag: 223192

    - Error in MSVCRT.DLL..? Hi all, I have been using my scanner on and off today to scan pics and such for a family member. It was working perfectly until I suddenly got an error message while loading a scan, that said... Message box heading: Hposcv07 HPOSCV07: Caused an error in MSVCRT.DLL and will now close. And then when you click OK, it shuts the scan process down and returns to the main menu. In doing a search, I found a list located in various Program Files, one being for the HP G55 all-in-one printer unit I have. I rebooted and it would work for a time or two, then I'd get the message again. I have no idea what the MSVCRT.DLL is for, so I'm a bit puzzled as to what has caused the error or where to troubleshoot the problem. I'd appreciate it if someone could advise me as to what the .DLL file is in reference to, then perhaps I can try to sort it out from there. Best regards, Jan :) Tag: Uninstall Hosts Tag: 223191

    - Virtual Memory A systems "guru" has recommended that I specify my own virtual memory settings to about 2 and 1/2 times my RAM (128 MB). It seems to me everytime I see a reference to this setting in this NG, it ALWAYS says to let Windows manage this setting. Any insight as to the benefits, if, indeed, any ?

    - newdotnet3_23.dll A friend has an old 98 gateway which runs windows 98. They needed help getting it internet ready. Somebody was playing with it before I arrived and somehow came across this error message which pops up with every start- up...Rundll32 has caused an error in newdotnet3_23.dll. Rundll will now close. The computer is new to the person, so I was simply going to use the gateway disks to bring the computer to the original configuration to start it fresh, but the original owner can't find them. I then thought about a reformat, but with a gateway...it has a built in sound and video card. So I am nervous about drivers for them. On top of it all, even with the modem installed properly and is running properly, the computer refuses to log on to the internet. Any help or information is more than helpful.

    - Wintrim.P virus Got a problem with AVG/Windows/Something... Ran the virus programme mid afternoon today and two virus detected. They were 'Downloader.Wintrim.P' in the C:\windows\system\egdhtm~1.dll file and 'Dialer' in the C:\windows\system\egdial.dll. They were both successfully healed. Ran the virus checker again and came across 'Downloader.Wintrim.P' in the C:\_restore\temp\A0014142.cpy file and 'Dialer' in the C:\_restore\temp\A0014143.cpy. These files were not healed and remain on the system. Tried deleting these files manually to no avail. They did not even show up in Explorer and when I tried to remove the _restore file by changing the attributes it would not let me. Looked on the net and came across how to disable system restore and checked the box in Mycomputer\Properties\Performance\File System. ran AVG again and now I do not appear to have the virus but it did not check the C:\_restore file. I run Windows Me What can I do? Is there a cure? Or a fix somewhere? Cliff --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Rename it to HOSTS.OLD, or HOSTS.BAK, or some other name.
