Try using System Restore in Safe Mode to go back previous to the problem. This may have occurred due to an update.

What model printer? Have you tried HP support?

Happy B-Day!!!

I would hope he is OK. This thread is over 5 years old.

The biggest secret to sheds is that no matter what one you buy or build it will become too small.

Start > Run. Type cmd and press the <Enter> key. At the prompt type ipconfig /all (notice space between g & /)and press the <Enter> key. This will display her information. While in the Command window she could run ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew to see if this fixes the error. When done with the Command window typeexit and press the <Enter> key. Knowing more about the connection setup (wired or wireless) and OS would help trace the problem

Clear your cache and defrag the PC. Also quit using HideMyAss proxies. This should speed up your computer.

Thank you. Dialysis is done for this week and I am sitting in my recliner relaxing. For the next two days I plan on doing nothing except for mowing the lawn.

He should definitely do a fresh install of Vista. Upgrades always seem to lead into problems.

ComboFix and TDSSKiller in conjunction can find and remove TDL3 for free.

Happy B-Day! I hope things are going well, friend.

Terrorist, I'm sorry for the delay. I don't even deserve help after this long. I found the log and opened it.. Was going to paste it here since I told you I would, but after seeing it, I don't think you want all of that. It was a mountain of logs. If uninstalling all versions and installing NET.Framework 4 doesn't work then post the log. I don't mind looking it over.

I would monitor the voltage to the graphics cards to see if they are staying stable.

Are you overclocking the graphics cards? Do you know the temperatures of the CPU and graphics? Could be caused by wrong voltages or overheating. You can download and install HWMonitor to view them.

Open the WindowsUpdate.log then copy and paste it's contents in a reply here. It is located in C:\Windows.

The only way the cloned drive would work is if all of the motherboards were identical. Otherwise you would need to install the proper drivers for each different motherboard.

Thank you for the assistance.

Could not flush DNS. I will look into that. I can't remember if I set this PC up last year to use OpenDNS. If not it will soon be. IE now seems to be functioning fine. No redirects or Java issues. OTM log All processes killed ========== PROCESSES ========== ========== SERVICES/DRIVERS ========== ========== REGISTRY ========== ========== FILES ========== ========== COMMANDS ========== C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\Hosts moved successfully. HOSTS file reset successfully [EMPTYTEMP] User: Administrator ->Temp folder emptied: 0 bytes ->Temporary Internet Files folder emptied: 0 bytes User

Seeing as IE is still not functioning right I downloaded the ESET online scanner and ran it. ESET scan results C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\atapi.sys.vir Win32/Olmarik.TM trojan cleaned - quarantined

Kaspersky will not run. It says I need to install Java, but Java is up to date and functional. Internet Explorer closes saying it can't open this site.
