  1. Truckers Strike

    in Open Chat

    Posted

    Our family owns a trucking company.

    We didn't shut down. Because we need to make a living and all.

    but most companies around here decided to run 45 mph for the duration of the trip.

    It has a point. The fuel prices have skyrocketed, and the freight rates have not changed at all.

    It's becoming harder and harder every day to operate a business like this and put food on the table.

    ehh some places around here are trying out the year-round thing. they have classes for like 4 or so weeks then have like 2 off, then 4 more on the 2 or so off, etc. etc.

    ..i don't think I'd like that very much. :unsure:

    and UAB is University of Alabama at Birmingham.

    its not quite a community college but its not a big expensive one either.

  16. Pci.sys Misssing Or Corrupt

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted · Edited by Steamhead

    I tried putting a copy of my pci.sys on a floppy and copying it from there but it still gave me access denied.

    I'll try to rename it as soon i I can get into the frickin recovery console again.

    9 out of 10 times I try it it freezes on the screen that says "press r to blah blah"

    :angry:

    ///EDIT

    yea I still get access denied when i try renaming it.

    hey shanenin, thanks for the quick reply.

    when i tried the set command i got the following message

    "The SET command is currently disabled. The SET command is an optional Recovery Console command that can only be enabled by using the the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in."

    ... there really is two "the"s too.. lol .. nice typo huh.

    but I'll try the ram solution now.

    thanks :)

    Well howdy folks. lol

    One of these computers around here decided to spit out a fancy little "system32/drivers/pci.sys is missing or corrupt"..

    soo I decided to try my luck with the recovery console. I tried putting " Expand d:\i386\pci.sy_ c:\windows\System32\drivers /y " and i get an access denied. I'm kinda lost as to what to do next :wacko:

  22. Gas Milage

    yeaa.

    i get like 12 mpg in my corvette. I also have to put premium gas in it because of the motor. It's not exactly the cheapest thing in the world.

    (and the way i drive it doesn't help too much either >.>)

    but also, if another car decides to hit me there's a 90% chance the other car will come out on top. my car is like.. an engine with some fiberglass and a couple seats strapped to it :wacko:

    Congrats! Your log is clean! :thumbsup:

    How is your system running?

    The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

    1. Firefox- Internet Explorer is not the most secure and best browser. There are safer and better alternatives available. I recommend Firefox, however Opera is good as well.
    2. Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
    3. AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
    4. SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep malware from installing on your system.
    5. SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
    6. IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
    7. ATF Cleaner - Cleans temporary files from web browsers, and much more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.
    8. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
    9. Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.

    To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein and this guide on safer computing.
