1. Go to Windows Updates and make sure you're totally up to date. 2. Uninstall (from Add/Remove Programs) "Microsoft Windows Critical Update Notification" 3. Go here and do *everything*. http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm 4. Wait for others here to suggest further malware detection procedures, discuss security settings, etc. -- Gary S.

What is mprojector489120293
by Guest letterman@invalid.com- 1 reply

I keep finding this mprojector489120293 folder in my Windows/Temp folder. I delete it, and it comes back. It appears to be something for flash movies, but I have flash already installed on the computer so I dont know why this keeps being created in that folder. I'm asking because I wonder if this might be a virus or spyware. None of my AV or spyware software show it to be a problem, but I keep deleting it anyhow. Here are the contents. The Folder name is: mprojector489120293 The Files inside are: Flash6movieV2.3.1.1a.mvx FlashPlayer.3.1.1a.ocx mPlayer.3.1.1a.dll System.3.1.1a.mfx The file path is C:\Windows\Temp\mprojector489120293 I should probab…

registry help,please! 1 2

Greetings, Today, my 98 pc crashed and when I restarted it, it came up in the mode where you get 5 or so choices, normal, safe mode,etc. The #5 "command prompt only" was highlighted and I couldn't choose another, and all I see is the C:\> . What command do I put in to get it started again. I put in the # 5 and "command prompt only" and got "bad command" on both. It also said to run scanreg when it gets started. Is "scanreg" the command I use to start that? Do I need C: only? what are the other two symbols for? Any other suggestions are appreciated. Jim

How come with a number of windows 98 machines I have no two have the same thing coming up during the startup process? One just starts with a windows cloud picture windows then goes black then returns before finally I see the desktop. Another one has some screens of text on black mixed in sequence with the windows 98 cloud picture screen. And I also noticed that after months of a certain text on the screen one day it had some different information in text coming up for a few days then I guess it went back to the way it had been. All that text flies by so fast is there a way to freeze it and be able to actually read all of it?

98SE/ME NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Chipset Driver
by Guest Bob L.- 0 replies
- 194 views
I am running a triple boot system, 98SE / ME / XP Pro. I have just upgraded with a new motherboard with an NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Chipset. Does anyone know of a 98SE / ME driver for this chipset or maybe a work around in order to get these two FAT systems up and running? I am not looking to use any of the special features of this chipset like RAID or SATA, I just want these systems to operate the way they were originally designed with the new motherboard? I am able to boot the systems but the Desktop looks like a Safe Mode display and there are no Hard Drives or CD drives listed in Device Manager or My Computer, only a Floppy Drive. I can access the two FAT …

Re: Pay Pal FRUSTRATION

Re: Pay Pal FRUSTRATION Hi, I was using Netscape 7 (over 5 years) with Java disabled. I didn't try enabling Java to find out if that would make a difference. Instead, I downloaded Fire Fox and used that browser. Now I can see my balance, etc. Why I didn't get any kind of warning with Netscape, is a mystery.

Hi, PayPal made changes to their web site back in September. This is the first time I used Pay Pal after the changes and I can not see my balance anymore. I never had this problem before they made changes. How do you see your balance? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC.

Discussion was originally entitled Computer failure - 02/19/2008, poster BAP, in this discussion forum.

PCMCIA card reader with SRAM card
by Guest Old Guy- 6 replies
- 562 views
I just installed a PCI adapter to use PCMCIA SRAM cards in my win98 desktop computer. Windows recognized both the adapter and the memory card and installed new drivers. I rebooted. Control panel->System reports the devices are there and working properly. The problem is that the drive has not been assigned a drive letter and doesn't show up in My Computer or Windows File Manager so I can't transfer files to or from the card. There is no icon for it that I can see other than one in the Task Bar that allows you to stop the drive for card removal. It works. What am I missing?
