| Hi, onedavester  Welcome. There is something strange about this. Click here to download HJTsetup.exe
In addition, Click here to download WinPFind .
Reboot into Safe Mode Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.

| Hi, onedaveste In Windows XP, some commands are not actually programs; they are interpreted and executed internally by the command shell in the Windows command interpreter (CMD.EXE). Some examples of these are DIR, SET, and COPY. If you look on your hard drive, you will not find a DIR.EXE or COPY.EXE. They are part of the command interpreter, CMD.EXE. Lets refresh some entries in your registry: The steps that I am about to suggest involve modifying the registry. Modifying the registry can be dangerous so we will make a backup of the registry first. Modification of the registry can be EXTREMELY dangerous if you do not know exactly what you are doing so follow the steps that are listed below EXACTLY. if you cannot preform some of these steps or if you have ANY questions please ask BEFORE proceeding. Backing Up Your Registry
Download the enclosed file. Extract its contents to the desktop. It is a Registry Entries file, Shellfix.reg. Do nothing with it yet. Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below. F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell= O16 - DPF: {9522B3FB-7A2B-4646-8AF6-36E7F593073C} (cpbrkpie Control) - http://a19.g.akamai.net/7/19/7125/40...02/Coupons.cab Now close all windows and browsers, other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked. Close Hijackthis. Double click on the Shellfix.reg file and select Yes when prompted to merge it into the registry. Restart the computer. If that does not resolve the issue, download FIXPATH2.ZIP by Bill Stewart
Keep me posted.

| Hi, onedavester All seem to be in the right place; Shell, ComSpec and Path. I have no idea why are you experiencing this issue. You can perform some maintenance and see if we have better results: Underlined items are clickable to give more information about the process: Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, right click any file then click delete, confirm delete. Click start, all Programmes, Accessories, System Tools to run Disc Clean up, then from System Tools, also run Disc Defragmenter. Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD and Windows File Protection will show a blue onscreen progress bar, when the bar goes, reboot. If you do not have an XP CD you can borrow a same version as was originally installed XP CD, if you downloaded SP2 then you need an SP1 XP CD Click start then run, type chkdsk /f /r then press enter, type Y to confirm for next boot, press enter then reboot. Windows will appear to load normally then either the monitor will show progress or the screen will go blank, do not disturb this. This will take an hour or so before it gets to the desktop. Download and install Tune Up 2006 Trial Run Tune Up Disc Clean Up Run Tune Up Registry Clean Up Click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, which will take a few minutes and need a reboot. You should disable the antivirus programme to run this and check it is running after the reboot After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor. ============================================ BTW: Have you checked the Event Viewer? Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer Double click on System. Are there any error reflected therein?

| Hi, onedavester That sounds like a problem with the boot sector in the hard drive. Open Notepad. Select File then Open. Type C:\Boot.ini on the file to be opened and click on Open. Post the contents of this file in your next reply. Please run the F-Secure Online Scanner Note: This Scanner is for Internet Explorer Only!
