  3. After careful consideration by the Besttechie Staff, we have decided that this topic will be closed. As of this point no further political or Religious topics will be allowed at the Besttechie Forums to prevent further issues.
  4. I have read what everyone has said. and I agree with a lot of it. There are some things that people are missing though. so I will try to outline them here a little bit. Gas/oil prices, FCC is currently investigating the oil cartels on price gouging. The problem is that they are dragging their feet. my theory on this is not because of the Bush Admin, or Congress, but because of the far left wing environmentalist, like Greenpeace, that would be happy to see the country collapse, just to say "see we have made out point, now it costs so much to fill up your car, that you are now walking to work,
  5. If you click on start>all program>Accesories>system tools>and run Disk Cleanupyou can also help speed up the boot time. As I stated before sometimes we don't know there are hidden issues until we dig a little deeper. I decided to go deeper when you were still having issues, but your Hijcak this log was clean. the infections I instructed you to remove were hidden by your original problem, so we didn't know to look for it. Below are some steps to help keep your system safe, I highly recommend that you seriously contemplate looking over these. Also have your wife read Tony Kleins arti
  6. ok, looking better, just a couple of deletions and you should be good to go. Click Here to download TheKillbox. Extract TheKillBox.exe from the zip file and double click it to open it up. In the 'Enter Full Path and Filename to Delete' box, copy and paste these entries one by one, clicking the button that has the red circle with a white X in it, after each one: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\fiz0 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\locate.com C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\log.bak.txt C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\_002644_.tmp.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\_002795_.tmp.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\_002855_.tmp.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\_004990_.tmp.dll
  7. based on all the information that is found dealing with them crashing etc.. is it any wonder why no one in Japan wants them?? Personally I wouldn't want it either. give me a ps2 or 3 anyday.
  8. hi Shaun, Well it seems that you may not have been totaly clean after all. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what kind of infections we are dealing with, because they can hide themselves well with other signs of infections.

  10. I guess the idea is to help people relize their potential if given the right motivators. This story is especially important to me, When my Aunt was alive, and had her cancer found, she spent some time in that wing, Thanks to the doctors who worked in that wing and for Dr. Stoddard, she was able to live for an extra year longer.
  11. well it appears that something on your system is still trying to contact a-d-w-a-r-e.com Download WindPFind Extract WinPFind.zip to your c:\ folder. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode Then open c:\WinPFind and double-click on WinPFind.exe. When the program is open, click on the Start Scan button to start scanning your computer. Be patient as this scan may take a while. When it is done, it will show a log and tell you the scan is completed. Reboot your computer back to normal mode and and post the contents of c:\WinPFind\WinPFind.txt as a reply to this topic.
  12. Hey Dragon, or anyone, how do you do those thumbnail photos? I can't find out anywhere how to do that. I see them on here all the time, but can't figure out how to do it. I tried upload a photo from Photobucket, using thumbnail image, but not the same. It doesn't look like yours. Barb Well Barb, the trick is simple, It won't work with photobucket supplying the image, it has to be uploaded from your computer's picture folder. If you use photobucket, it's kinda hard to adjust the size of the image because your using a direct link from another website. the img tag in the boards doesn't allow
  13. happy Birthday Chappy. As usual I'm the late comer but eh, what do you expect from someone who lives in the cornfields of Iowa.
  14. My personal take on it is OH WELL!!! when they switched it over to G4 I stayed tuned for a little bit, Then they decided that showing little runs of games were more important then the information they used to have as TechTV. CFH, TSS, and others. it was at that point I turned that station off. I went back a couple of years later, watched half of an episode of TSS and turned it off, I was not impressed, they were sitting trying to say that you didnt' need firewalls, or AV protection on Windows XP SP2. because SP2 blocked everything. AFter that I refused to go back to that channel, I even callee
  15. NE OF THE BEST STORIES I'VE EVER HEARD!!! As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he did not play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. In addition, Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the poi
  16. that was odd, but the problem seems to be solved. I must have missed a terminal being open when I shut down earlier. Thanks gang.
  17. if you can please run SpySweeper and post the log from it. I'll know more after I see that.
  18. thats exactly what happened. I know I can make Gnome boot into tty1 by booting to the Recovery Mode, but this was the standard boot process, booting to the GUI, and before I shut down Linux to boot to windows there were no Terminals open that I know of. No there were no upgrades or software updates
  19. unless you are willing to pay the extortion type prices on ebay or in your local paper, you won't find one before christmas. The next release date is in March of 2006.
  20. hiya BD, The only line I'm seeing that I'm questioning on is this one: O2 - BHO: (no name) - {206E52E0-D52E-11D4-AD54-0000E86C26F6} - C:\PROGRA~1\FRESHD~1\FRESHD~1\fdcatch.dll (file missing) other than that your log is clean. have you defragmented your harddrive and or cleaned out all your temp files recently? those are th only things I can think of that might slow down your system that much. Basically it appears to me that you may be due for a OS reset.
  21. what programs, if any, from the list of suggestions ,at the end of your computer cleaning, that therock247uk gave you did you install???
  22. ok, last night I was just surfing the web randomly, something I like to do every now and then, just to see some of the odd names I come up with and see if anyone is using it for a website. anyway, back to my situation. appearantly one of the websites I went to has the clkspiel.exe programmed into their code somewhere, probably an ad, I found out about it when I went to do something and an error box came up saying that "clkspiel.exe is a windows program. Being a malware killer, I knew what it was, so I closed out the window. now the interesting part, I had to boot into my Windows harddrive t
