    Please post a link to a video that WMP won't play.

    That's exactly what i was getting at in my last post when I said, "If you can currently..." Now the chances of such being the issue in this case, are probably slim. However, it should be considered.

    MS and Sun will throw their hands up and say, "But the end user has the option to uncheck it". However, they know very well that the end user either won't notice it, or will but think they need it. That's precisely why I called it underhanded, and randy called it a dirty trick. Besides, for their argument to even begin to hold any logical coherency, the option would be unchecked.

    The following wireless image is similar for most laptops: https://wireless.camosun.bc.ca/images/wireless-logo.png Do you see that anywhere on the top, sides, or function keys on the laptop? That Window's error is generic and doesn't by necessity mean that the laptop even has a switch to turn off the wireless. As noted by the other members, if you can currently connect to other routers, then your router needs to be addressed.

    Right on the money. Java has been doing it with the Open Office installer package, but that doesn't actually install any extra app. I consider it under-handed to deceivingly install a browser toolbar when updating Java.

    Also...what antivirus scanner? Please post what it has found. Although I suspect it will be benign remnants or false positives.

    I was confused by that as well Randy. So after I saw the log yesterday, I ran an IE7 reset which removed my Google toolbar, yet HijackThis still showed it. Still being skeptical, I suggested the reset again. As far as the log goes, there are a couple of gray area entries (an adware program that will generate some popups), but other than that, I don't see anything of significance. What items are you concerned about?

    Any chance of posting that Vista error report?
  9. Seth
    Nothing in the log accounts for the issue. At this point, I would remove IE 7 from Add/Remove programs, then reinstall it. Following that if the problem persists, run the IE reset again: 1.Open Internet Explorer 7. 2.Click Tools, and then click Internet Options. 3.Click the Advanced tab. 4.Under Reset Internet Explorer Settings, click Reset. ...be sure you click on Reset and not "Restore Advanced Settings".

    I have to leave, but I'll be back in a couple of hours to check out the log.

    The Ares entry isn't the source of the problem, but I noticed an entry that should be removed. Run HijackThis again and put a check on this entry only: O16 - DPF: {FEE1002D-90A5-4A5D-AABE-01803FFBCF7A} - http://ps.itv.mop.com/dn/files/pCast....94_signed.cab Click on "Fix Checked" and restart the computer after HijackThis removes it.

    The cds may work on another computer. If so, you can copy the files onto that computer, then re-burn them.
  13. Seth
    You'll need an XP cd, and usually the one that may have came with the computer. After the repair, you'll also need to install all MS updates: Perform a Repair Installation

    Nice catch.
  15. Seth
    Understood, however I think that before a bios upgrade is tackled, we should see the error report and find out if the computer is even exhibiting any problems.
  16. Seth
    I'm not convinced that a bios upgrade is needed. Most Window's errors are far to generic to be of practical value. Heck, just look at a typical BSOD. Are you experiencing any problems with the computer? If not, I most certainly would not be trying to upgrade the bios.

    pmspl.dll;) Thanks Jack:)

    If the malware procedure doesn't help, I'd opt for a repair install.
  19. Seth
    Yes they're similar, but the SAS fix seems to be more thorough and is compatible with all versions of IE7. Plus, it would be a good idea for Susie to have SAS installed as an on demand scanner. ....back in a couple of hours.

    Oh oh. Here comes trouble. Hello my friend:) BTW-Just kidding folks. Sho-dan is quite a gent, and an expert on malware.

    Use the computer you're on now, then save the file to a cd or a USB memory stick. Then you can install Super on the problem computer.

    Since you reset IE7 to no avail, and Firefox works fine on the sites, it seems that another program might be embedding something into IE7 when you open it. Please post a Hijack This log and we can check out that possibility: Download the latest version of HijackThis from Trend Micro and click on Download Hijack This Installer and save it to your desktop. Doubleclick HJTInstall.exe to install HijackThis. By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis . Click on Install. It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop. Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis. Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in Notepad. Include this log by copying and pasting in your next reply. Notes: Do not use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted. Do not have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless, or required for your computer to run like it should.

    Hi Susie, Please download the Home Free Version of SuperAntiSpyware from SUPERAntiSpyware.com - AntiAdware, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware!. Run the program then go into it's Preferences>Repairs. Highlight "Repair Broken Internet Connection (Repair Winsock LSP Chain" then click on Perform Repair. Restart the computer when prompted and test the internet. If that doesn't help, we can try a ping test and/or check if the internet is ok in Safe Mode With Networking.

    This should take care of that problem: How to take ownership of a file or a folder in Windows XP

    Go ahead and try the removal tool I posted. If you have not run through the malware removal procedure, then please do so. If the above doesn't help, then please post a HijackThis log.
