Hi My computer is infected by this: win32/adware.virtumonde and win32.privacyremover.m64 On my screen it says in big letters that your computer is effected. I tried to do system restore to a previous point but the only point available now is the one whe re the virus was effected. I did it and nothing happened and the virus is still there My McAfee Antivirus has expired but even then I did a Scan in safe mode and it didnt find anything. I downloaded AVG Antivirus (free) from download.com and tried to insgtall it but it wont run the installation process. I am able to connect to internet with my effected computer. But it won't OPEN any anti-virus sit…

After the posts I just read, I want to uninstall SP3 until I have a new external hard drive, and have done more research on the update--I've alreadly learned the hard way to NOT trust Microsoft blindly when my files got deleted. Autumn

Replaced (cloned) my HD, booted up (almost) first try. Everything seems to work except SR is not working. I reviewed several of the posts on this subject, and they suggest a couple of methods of rebuilding the sr file that require you to insert the SP2 CD. I believe they are looking for the sr.sys file. I do have the Windows SP2 disc, however, I keep getting the error message "file not found" Agent Ransack can't find sr.sys on the CD either. What to do? Dave

Has anyone had trouble with 64 bit drivers for ASUS or other motherboards for Server 2008? We are suffering disk controller errors (which show up as such in the event log) and then system freezes. We are using Quad Core CPUs with 8GB+ RAM and so we've had to use ASUS boards when normally, they wouldn't have been our first choice. Usually too flaky. The drives are just regular 10,000 RPM Sata drives but it also happens to 7200 RPM Seagates. What successful motherboard/CPU configurations are other folks using in 64 bit scenarios? Thanks, Geoff Schaller Software Objectives

I have an application that I run on my desktop where it points to a Win2003 server. All the files for the application is sitting on the server. Everything works great. For some reason, when I remote desktop into my computer, I can not run this applications. I can run all the other applications thats residing on this server but not this one. The error message I'm getting is attached. The shared UNC for the server location has the proper permission set up so I can have access to the folder. Like I said, it works all other times except during Remote Desktop. Can someone give me some ideas on how I might fix this?

I recently purchased XP Home SP2 OEM Version to install on an older machine and sell to a neighbor. I cannot find the license key. Any chance I can obtain another one... without paying? I still have the receipt showing proof of purchase. Thanks, Mark

I have an old Windows 2000 SP4 Domain and I would like to change the Original Enterprise Admin Username and Password. 1. Will this give my Enterprise Admin a new SID? 2. Will this effect my domain in any way? Thanks.

Here's the situation. I purchased a PC game which requires direct X 9.0c. Went online with tech support for over an hour who was very patient with me, but to no avail the game still won't work. The game that I bought is The Sims 2: Double Deluxe Expansion pack. Tech support helped me download DirectX and NViDIA Ge Force 2 and the game still won't play. I have Windows XP home edition. What do I need to do to get this game going? I'm ready to go and get my money back!!

Is there some way to automate this operation under XP Tools menu, that is to get it to automatically execute upon startup or shutdown? If so, I would appreciate a detailed explanation of how to do it. Thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for the suggestion from Gary, Jeff, Philo and Ben on how to restore my windows98 system after I deleted some operating files. I went to http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm, and copied a floppy disk "windows 98SE, consume, no ramdrive". Then I inserted this disk into my computer, turned on the power, now the screen is: "non-system disk or disk error. Replace and strike with any key when ready...." So the computer still can not read the bootdisk. The computer also does not respond to any letters, and F1-F112. The bootdisk does not work! What can I do now? Thanks, Mary

I'm attempting to add support for the Gateway stuff to an open source project (http://www.codeplex.com/terminals) that I'm working on. I see that the IMsRdpClientTransportSettings interface defines most of what I need to be able to expose to the UI. The big question I have is how do I get access to this? I, of course, need to be backwards compatible and all that fun stuff. Essentially I'm new'ing up a AxMSTSCLib.AxMsRdpClient2 Thanks for any insight. -Rob

For several months now, a number of my users have reported that Outlook items, particularly draft emails, are being grouped on their Taskbars as Word Documents rather than as Outlook files.

Our current IT policy is to name servers using lower case. It used to be UPPER CASE. Our SAP team wants their new servers to be re-named using UPPER CASE. The name wil be the same, only the case will change. Can this be done and are there any other ramifications of doing this? TIA, Seymour

Hi All, I am having trouble copying directories to my CD-R/W Drive for archival purposes. For example, if I right-click on a particular directory and select 'Send To' the CD-ROM Drive, the copy starts, but the time estimate for the process is many HOURS. The directory in question is 300MB in size. During the copy, which eventually finishes, the computer is essentially non-responsive. After the temporary files are created, the actual CD burn process is fairly quick. This is Windows XP-SP2. Any ideas why this process is Sooooooooooo Slow??? Thanks, John

When I got to Windows updates, it tells me I need to install SP3 and gives no other options for updates. I've heard of a lot of problems with SP3. Am I not going to be able to do any further updates to SP2? Is it SP3 or no further updates?
