Yeah just right click and merge the .reg file or double click it. It also wouldn't hurt to restart Windows after doing so.

The .bin sounds like a CDR-Win image file that IsoBuster should be able to open, and export. I however don't know if the free version of IsoBuster is able to export from image files since I've never tried it.

The info to solve the problem is available in this thread.

Ok, it sounds like the uninstaller for EZAV still won't sometimes actually uninstall the program, it's an old issue that supposedly still exists from the InoculateIT PE days. Look in C:\Windows for a file named UnVet32.exe, if it's still there it means that EZAV didn't uninstall correctly, which in reality isn't unusual from my experience with it. If UnVet32.exe is still in C:\Windows you'll need to boot into Safe Mode, and then click: 1. Start->Run->and type in: unvet32.exe Pay attention to what the uninstaller displays, if it can't remove something you'll have to delete it manually. 2. Depending upon how badly the uninstaller failed after you've ran it you "may" need to manually delete the following: * C:\Windows\AVShlExt.dll * C:\Windows\System32\ISafeIf.dll * C:\Windows\System32\iSafProd.dll * C:\Windows\System32\VetRedir.dll * C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\VetEBoot.sys * C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\VetEFile.sys * C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\VetFDDNT.sys * C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Vet-Filt.sys * C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\VetMonNT.sys * C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Vet-Rec.sys * C:\Program Files\CA\eTrust EZ Armor\eTrust EZ Antivirus * The EZAV start menu program group located in Start->All Programs * In the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\Anti-Virus Note 1: If EZAV is the only eTrust software you've ever installed it should be safe to remove in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates Note 2: If you had to manually remove any files run UnVet32.exe again to see what it displays. If it displays a successful message it will delete itself, thus a complete uninstall.

LMAO. Hard to believe that individual actually received a passing grade, D- nonetheless.

waol.exe has been a problem with AOL's software for many years in various versions. It can randomly crash etc., and if it's misbehaving there won't be any Internet access via AOL. As rridgely already stated, uninstalling AOL followed by a reboot and reinstall of AOL is usually the only fix. Tip: Once AOL is reinstalled and working correctly make sure you create a backup of waol.exe, such as zipping it in the folder where it's located.

1. For starters use IE's tools to 'Delete Cookies', 'Delete Files', and 'Clear History'. 2. Follow up with using CCleaner to mark the index.dat files for deletion on the next reboot. 3. Reboot.

If you don't want CCleaner to clean the Macromedia Flash cache you can disable that option in: Cleaner->Applications->Multimedia->Macromedia Flash Player

Some more info from you would be helpful such as: * What's your Windows OS * What's the program name that keeps reappearing.

The basic details for it are located here. The full details are located here.

I don't know if newer versions of Sonic RecordNow (now owned by Roxio) still don't allow the removal of 2 second gaps, which makes it useless for gapless CD's. If you are wanting to create audio CD's the easy way without any 2 second gaps, with automatic decoding of various formats (mp3, ogg, etc) give Burrrn a try, it only creates audio CD's.

Huh! The name of MS AntiSpyware is going to become Windows Defender, or an updated detection routine or add-on in MS AntiSpyware is going to be given the name Windows Defender?

A simple solution without messing with the batch file is to create a link in the All Users startup area in the registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", or even easier create a shortcut in: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

Well the reason I'm wondering is because there's some Setup.ilg files that have uninstall information that pertains to Install Shield itself. Also removing the contents of the folder will mean if there's broken programs that can self-heal, e.g. Repair Installation/Reinstall will no longer work -- at least those created with Install Shield.

Actually I was wondering if the mothership Microsoft would introduce a Service Pack, or in the next version of Windows the ability to block or at the least warn the user with a prompt about the installation of rootkits. I really believe since a rootkit can hide from the OS it is a Microsoft responsibility to either prevent, block, or inform a Windows user what's happening blindly to the OS such as unauthorized OS modifications that in itself hide the modifications from the OS.

I already did and came up empty handed.

It's now an add-on in winapp2.ini. My question and/or concern is will cleaning out the whole folder contents break something?

Yes, blue does mean compressed. And even if you de-compress them back into original state WinXP may or will again compress them if you don't access them for some time.

If you by any chance use Winamp you can output them as .wav using the disk writer and then encode them with whatever mp3 encoder you wish.

Well that's your choice, however I'll most likely get a PS3 after it's been out for a year or two.

How would you get into the middle, perhaps pull a Spider-Man trick out of your hat?

I finally get and must end with:

I'm thinking the bad judgement of Sony or Sony BMG will probably bite them in the ass in the end, thus effecting other areas of Sony -- not just their music division. I surely wouldn't trust installing any of their software after the blatantly without disclosure abuse of their customers. Unfortunately for them they have tarnished their good name by f'ing up in a major way.

It hasn't happened to me for a couple of days now, however it is as you described it's as if the connection is lost. I've dealt with several flavors of it where it may only be a few sites that won't load, to a worse effect when nothing works including using integrated update managers in programs. By the way I have ZoneAlarm on my two systems WinXP and Win98 and they've both had the problem using my previous ISP which was InterLink (Dial-Up) and now my new ISP which is Netscape (Dial-Up). What's prompting my suspicion against ZoneAlarm is because the behavior happened on my old install of WinXP, and has returned with my fresh WinXP install.

I've got some in the front however mine are Dell designed and rather poorly designed since they're difficult to see and plug things into being at an angle and all.
