That's the boot menu, pick 'PM-WDC WD1600BB-22DAA0' and keep hitting F8 straight away!

Right, what stage are you at exactly, have you took the teekids.exe file out of hijack this and deleted it from the hard drive? If so, you need to reboot into normal mode and see if your commit charge and page file usage are back to normal.
The PC will still be slow starting up because you've got tons of stuff on there but we can clean it up a bit once we're sure that the virus has gone

Ok, start her up in normal mode, run hijack this again and remove all but one of the following entries:
O18 - Protocol: bw+0s - {053FAAE7-B592-4933-8F33-669618662CD2} - C:\\Program Files\\Logitech\\Desktop Messenger\\8876480
So afterwards, there should only be one line left like the above rather than the several hundred you have at the moment!
I notice that you've got Norton on there, Norton is a bugger for causing your PC to start up slowly, especially when you have quite a lot of apps installed like you have so I wouldn't expect it to start up much quicker. Still, at least you've got rid of that virus

Anyone watch 'The IT Crown' on channel 4 the other night? I though it was a bit crap, frankly.

The only other decent free one I know of is Sygate personal firewall. If you don't mind paying about £30, AVG professional edition has a decent firewall too.

Let me get this right, on the new PC my network places only shows the new PC and not the old one, whilst on the old PC, you can see both PCs but the old one can't connect to the new one?
If that's the case, it stinks of firewalls. Is windows firewall switched off on the new one?

that seems correct. ill try switching off windows firewall. the other one doesnt have a firewall as norton takes up too much ram and windows firewall is greyed out and i cant be bothered to sort it out. what else can i try if that fails?
ok isnt the firewall. still cant get on it

Hi,
I have a problem with a pc, When i start windows xp pro it loads until the username screen. but i dont have a username or password for it so i dont know what to do..... I cannot simply press enter as it says, 'username and password incorrect......' esc dont work either... nothing...
(its not the normal username screen - its more like a box window).
Any idea on how to get on to windows?
by the way its only recently happened and for no apprent reason, ive been using the pc fine for ages..
Cheers all |
