I read this thread earlier before it had any replies and I was thinking it was an attack on K, and was wondering what. I also realize it's a complaint about the rambling a few of us have been doing over the boring as hell weekend by hijacking threads.
Which brings me to the conclusion we need an IRC channel, site, very specific thread dedicated to goofiness like this one I created, or somewhere else altogether where we can go to chat.

If it's a self-extracting .cab, .zip, .rar, .7z you could open it with any archiving software that supports those formats and extract all the contents, and then just .zip, .rar, or .7z it and create an self-extracting archive of your own.
You could try Resource Hacker (freeware, no adware/spyware) to delete it, but first make a copy of the setup file and only work on that copy as you do run the chances of corrupting it.
-
The only references I could find to that file earlier today were via a Google search for c:\hook.log that lead to other forums that unfortunately weren't in English and the links to the forum pages also didn't work.

By slower how slow is it actually?
Did the slowdown start after you installed Windows Defender?
Along with defrag there's ChkDsk that should be ran to scan all your hard disks to make sure it isn't error related.
Although you've scanned with multipe anti-malware products you may still want to post a HijackThis log in the proper forum area to be sure you don't have any malware.

That hive thing? does it do something to the registry? and since that error's a couple of weeks old, should I do the cleanup anyway?
Yes it has to do with the registry not unloading. I had those errors in the event log and installing MS User Profile Hive Cleanup Service got rid of those errors altogether. It also will allow your computer to shutdown/restart properly if the hives are what's causing the problems. You can read a full description from the link I provided in my first post.

Just joking.

Uncheck anything you "may" have selected in:
Cleaner->Windows->Advanced

The bear was probably mad because he wanted nacho cheese flavour.

application event log errors: can't unload registry files
Microsoft User Profile Hive Cleanup Service

It sounds as if you have allot of hardware related issues, so much so that if I were you I wouldn't buy s**t from that computer shop again.
---
If chkdsk refuses to run, etc., you can use a different approach to get it to do a none-thorough scan, this will only perform the standard check using this command:
%windir%\system32\FSUTIL.exe DIRTY SET C:
To check other hard disks replace C: at the end of the command with that drive letter.

Now if only I knew anything at all about cars...
You can learn allot about cars if you open the hood on your Yugo and look at the engine, hint it's that little thing under the hood that you have to use a microscope to see. ~ That'll teach you a lesson after dumping Cheez Whiz on my noggin'.

i had a friend attacked by a monkey when i was a kid.
It's that old motto "if it has teeth it will bite."

Even with a 3meg LAN line I was so annoyed by how slow the forum was that I had to start a thread about it.
I was on earlier and my forum connection went kaput and just died on me all of a sudden, I had to wait an hour just to access it again. But the time was well spent as I finally got around to fully uninstalling and reinstalling Mozilla Suite since it started not randomly loading out of nowhere a few days ago.

Have you tried rebooting Windows?

Right or wrong I personally have Windows Firewall set to not allow exceptions:
General tab -> Don't allow exceptions

To see if the plugins are installed and recognized in Opera do the following:
1. Type into the Opera address bar: opera:plugins
2. Hit the enter key.
You should see something listed under
Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library
application/asx *
video/x-ms-asf-plugin *
application/x-mplayer2 *
video/x-ms-asf asf,asx,*
video/x-ms-wm wm,*
audio/x-ms-wma wma,*
audio/x-ms-wax wax,*
video/x-ms-wmv wmv,*
video/x-ms-wvx wvx,*
C:\Program Files\Opera\Program\Plugins\npdsplay.dll
I don't use Firefox, so I don't know if it uses the same as Mozilla Suite to display the plugins:
1. Type into the Firefox address bar: about:plugins
2. Hit the enter key.
You should see a list somewhat similiar to Opera (I think).

RegSeeker does not install any malware onto the system, it actually doesn't even install since the download is stored within a .zip archive.
There's a few possibilities:
* an antivirus product detecting the .exe as being infected or suspicious because regseeker.exe is compressed with UPX. Simply decompressing the file will remove the false positive. And those antivirus softwares that falsely detect UPX compressed files should have figured out by now that not all UPX compressed files are used for malicious reasons, UPX is just an executable compression system. And by the way some developers will use UPX because it's free and they can't afford some way to encrypt/protect their software.
* a rogue antispyware app has marked it as spyware to trick people into buying their crappy software.
* another developer/company is bad mouthing it to try and steal some end-users.
There's other possibilities, but what I've listed about sums it up.

There really should be a way to exlude some registry entries, and it's something I've wanted for well over a year now. I think someone had already suggested such a feature in one of the bazillion wanted features in the suggestions thread.
-
I agree with your suggestion! I wish the verification of shortcuts would check the whole system as well. It's been many years since I used an MS tool located on the Win98 install CD (don't remember that MS tool name) that would find invalid shortcuts anywhere. It's been far to many times where I've found a dead shortcut in the SendTo folder or elsewhere.
By the way there is a Suggestions thread.

I read an article that said AOL would be offering high speed internet access for the same price as dial-up
.Then it said they would accomplish this by increasing the price of dial-up
.AOL is overpriced for dial-up, there's a DSL service that's only $4 or $5 higher than AOL's dial-up. If they made high-speed available for under $20 say $19.95-19.99 I would consider it - if only their crappy software wasn't included.
Sorry, I missed it. (Or maybe my dial-up connection is still downloading it
)?S?!
Dial-up could be faster right now at this very moment if they (the government) would just release the speed restriction placed upon it. However, according to something President Bush said last year on the news they (the government) want everyone in the U.S. to have access to affordable high-speed Internet access in the coming years. I say don't wait Mr. President make it affordable now as Mike Rochip and I would appreciate it.

You mis-understood. Lokoike is the country lover. krit must start running now
Sad, so sad. There's gotta be some institutional help or therapy for that.
K may want to hide as well

Sounds a bit similar to your profile Andavari.
Nope I don't consume any alcohol. I also very rarely watch t.v. there's way too many commercials, I need a TiVo. Speaking of t.v. gotta go watch the Formula 1 race my DVD recorder is about to finish recording. Sayonara for now.

Now how did you associate Meditation with Fighting? <krit86lr is shaking her head>
I blame my father! Shaolin Monks meditate and they know Gung Fu ("Kung Fu").
Jealous? Nah...lokoike thinks that you're a sweetie too.
(cause he likes country music)Please anything but that, no country music I beg of thee spare me the indecency, please no more torture I can't take it, I'll give you anything you want please not more country music. I reiterate what lokoike said about country music - kill me now.
Now I have to go and listen to some Metal music to appease my taste in music. Ahh listening to some Vader, that's much better!

That pic of that vehicle found on eBay reminds me a another vehicle that costs about 40 grand and uses a motorcycle engine. I want one, but it has to be imported from Europe (Switzerland I think).

I honestly don't think the amount of people using the forum matter, I've been on here and have seen just 3 people before including myself and it just stops working or gets so slow that I just give up.
