  1. I always close all other programs when doing any kind of virus scan, spyware scan, etc.

     

    By the way I forgot to include my O.S. etc.

     

    MS Win XP sp2

    Using Administrator accout

    Just recently installed CCleaner 1.26.218 on 3/19/06

    Downloaded from download.com

    I have not tried running CCleaner in Safe mode, (what is the advantage?).

     

    Welcome audionut22 :)

     

    See if downloading the current version helps. v1.28 ;)

  2. I stand corrected. lokoike said Tower speaker. I will google for pictures. I have only played around with a few things inside the tower, and I don't want to make a mistake. (It's not my computer) :P

     

    @Mike - It's possible that this comp doesn't have a fan either. I will look.

     

     

    Wish me Luck! :lol:

  3. The speaker is always turned off, so I'm assuming that isn't the cause. First I'm going to check the Monitor, and HD. Then fans and belts.

     

    Hardware is really hard to troubleshoot.

     

    I didn't know that there were multiple fans. How do I know which is the case fan? :huh:

  4. Yeah, I wouldn't normally think of something like that, but I just had it happen not to long ago. No real "fix" for that, other than turning it off, but at least you can isolate the problem.

     

    You guys rock! :D

     

    I will go turn on the other comp right now, and see. ;)

     

     

    @Andavari - It is very annoying.

  5. Well, I am at a loss. I can't figure out how to make winapp2 work...and I did read your instructions. I just don't understand.

     

    Andavari will be able to help you alot more with this part than I can. Don't add anything to winapp2.ini without posting it and getting confirmation on it (just a reminder).

     

    He'll see this the next time that he's online. ;)

  6. If you have any questions about the entry you make to clean IE7 post that entry so that it can be looked at. The last thing you'll want to do is kill a large part of the registry or wipe out a whole parent folder on your hard disk.

     

    Agreed.

     

    Andavari is good at the winapp2.ini entries. Listen to him. I can't help you on that part.

  7. "Possibly" mixed core files, meaning the .dll files and whatever else it installed.

     

    My motto is don't mess around with IE if you don't want to end up reinstalling Windows. That's the main reason I'm waiting for IE7 to be officially released as a final product versus a beta, I don't want to risk a reinstall.

     

    :lol: Me too, really. I guess that I wanted a new project. I have a copy of the IE7 uninstaller for backup just in case I can't figure it out. ;)

     

    I will see if manually deleting the IE7 core files works. Right now I have IE7 again (another project) so I'll have to test that later.

     

    Thanks for the suggestion. :)

  8. ahh, I have winapp.ini only in the CCleaner folder.

     

    Maybe you could download winapp2.ini, and place it in the same folder as winapp.ini. From there you can add the appropriate IE7 settings. By doing that you can adjust CCleaner to be more compatible with IE7...IF you do it correctly.

     

    Have you noticed my signature? ; )

  9. Hi all :)

     

    Did a clean install of XP Pro SP2 on a machine, and updated everything (drivers, etc...). Now the tower is making a soft, but high pitch noise. Originally, the noise was on a 5 minutes cycle, and everytime that the noise started it would last for 5 minutes.

     

    Now it's a 30sec noise that is on a 1 or 2 minute cycle.

     

    Event Viewer, Device Manager, Dxdiag...non of these report any problems. Does anyone know of any tests that will narrow down what the problem is? Or even good resources to investigate?

     

     

    Thanks ;)

  10. no need to get so excited dude...

     

    just in case someone did NOT KNOW...

     

    no biggie anyhow.. - no point was to get excited / criticize me.. and in this case post your post #4 in this thread (basically saying what i already noted in my earlier post - lol - i can be like you too..)

     

    Hopefully you understand me.. and peace to you and your family ;)

     

    LOL - Peace to you and your family too. :D

     

    It's dudet. ;)

    (I'm a dork. I know.)

  11. HANS - Head And Neck .... what ? (wrong room, but who cares)

    SAFETY ? Oh, I hate acronyms.

     

    I'm with you burt. Once the acronyms start flyin'. I don't have any idea what people are talking about. Lokoike said to use this for translating. But it didn't translate HANS. <_<

  12. "Anyone using Norton AV?"

     

    Yes, loads of people. Although it's often only until they learn they can get something about as good for free, or better for less. No disrespect intended to anyone, just seems to be the case.

     

    Edit: "better" is, of course, subjective...

     

    Agreed. I didn't have the nerve to be the first to say it.

     

    @Sonsie - That's why I asked if you paid for it. Finish out the terms of your contract before you worry about switching. I'm sure that between your 4 HD's you can handle some the resource load. ;)

  13. Today it's monitoring 573 ! I see that the date of the last revision was 12/8 and the new one is 3/15 and 3/17, so that explains it, but still....my god - who was watching out for those 570 signatures all this time?! :o

     

    sonsie

     

    You're funny. If Norton is your only protection then no one was watching. :)

     

    As Andavari says: Get layered security. (At least I think that it was him)

     

    Also, not any one piece of software protects against all definitions. Personally I use 8 programs + hardware firewall. There is a really good list that you can check out in the HJT thread. Look in the malware removal guide.
