Guest ms Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I use Winpatrol, and it kept showing a warning that Script Sentry wanted to open reg extensions. I selected No. I uninstalled Script Sentry, no help, deleted all files on the drive for Script Sentry, no help. I ran RegSeeker, cleaned all "safe" entries, and searched for SS, no entries. I ran RegEdit, searched for SS, no entries. I don't like them, but ran a relatively safe cleaner, Wise Registry Cleaner, still get the WinPatrol warning screen, the path it shows does not exist in my Utilities folder. Cold boots in between. So it appears Script Sentry is still somewhere in my registry, how to locate it? ms

Guest Dan Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 RE: A hidden registry key? Note, I would not use any registry cleaner and I feel the only safe method is to first back up a working registry and then carefully and slowly remove keys only if you know what you are doing. In addition, I am not too keen on lots of anti-virus and anti-spyware programs nowadays because many of them are too overly aggressive and flag helpful programs as bad and so give the user too many false positives. I feel that too much security software recently has been rushed out the door and the user can take simple steps such as looking in there add/remove programs for unrecognized programs as well as configuring their computer to be much safer and using tools such as SpywareBlaster to prevent getting infected in the first place.

If I may, a new subject, an old thread on this computer I'm using, this was the Dell with a shaded video problem, faint grey shading on each line of text. You felt it was a defective video card, that must be it. I had gone to the Dell site, identified the video driver, installed it, still got the shading, no help, but it added a minor error screen on boot up. I fired up the machine after a few weeks, figured if installing the driver caused the error screen, uninstalling the driver would remove the error screen. Uninstalling the driver, the display properties, etc caused new issues, so I reinstalled it and now just have the simple screen again. It says: Rndll error: Error in C:\Windows\System\NvCpl.dll. missing entry Nv Startup It relates to the driver, several driver entries are in my HKLM/RUN key placed there by the install. Any idea on how to clean up that error screen? ms

Did I know that 6 months ago too? | This is only a backup machine, due to other issues, no energy here to | solve this issue. But I thank you for your interest. I use this | computer to browse when my W2K machine is sick. Right now it does | not browse. All right, then. If you should discover the Win2K never will browse, we can get back to your monitor on the Win98. But you'll have to remind us all over again what has been tried! Sounds like a driver or a settings problem to me, if it works well on another machine without the gray shading. Otherwise, I'd have suspected the monitor is going bad. Check that all is plugged in solidly. Blow some dust out of the vents, (although I less/less suspect that is my own issue with the menu screen popping up). Run through the monitor's own settings screens & put things to default if possible. (Suddenly my own monitor's auto & menu buttons won't work-- but at least the menu screen is not being displayed! Sheesh!) | BTW, W2K and W98SE are my favorite OS's. Ah, Win98SE, very good. | ms -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR pcrrcp@netzero.net
