I find it difficult to understand how you managed to arrive at where you are
now, from where you were a week ago - perhaps there's something you're not
telling us????

First boot to Safe Mode, and check out Device Manager for
duplications/errors, and while there, run Belarc, and install Everest

then post back with some real (actual!) data

hi,
(actual data) i will try. recent post 2/21 SPYBOT. problem was fixed, so i
thought. i also used immunization (advance mode). I scanned 2/24 found :
Media plex 1, Advertizing.com 2, Ave a. inc 1, Double click 1, DSO.exploit 2,
Huntbar 1.
Aside of this issue. which i continue to try and resolve
On 2/22 i installed mozilla/firefox.browser. chose to uninstall. control
panel deleted. did not interest me.
Today, ez trust-anti virus found : 2viruses
c restore\ temp win32. tibser h trojan A0127976 & A0127980. with an
additional 30+ files unable to scan. ?
For more information it would have required me to click their web site ,
and all i needed to do was click www.ca etc... instead , I received
error..UNABLE TO START WEB BROWSER. and I have noticed Firefox has appeared
in other areas.
The question whether when I deleted Mozilla/Firefox from Control Panel is
there any other changes that need to be completed. For ex. should I go to
C: win appl data Moz/Fire Prof xxxxx default. and DELETE ?
Or do I merely go to System Restore. and set date to prior installation of
Moz/Fire. or leave well enough alone. i get the jitters the thought of Safe
Mode. and getting stuck. But, I will in a short while when grands come over.

For what it is worth.......Firefox is not the cause of your problems. I
have been using it for a while now and it is excellent!! If you removed it
via Add/Remove, it may have left some folders on your Hard Drive. I usually
remove those manually.....but try a System Restore to before you put it on.

As for Safe Mode, I just finished a scan and defrag in it and I will give
you the instructions on how to get into it......and when you are finished,
you just go to Start/ReStart and it will automatically come up in Normal
Mode, with a few scattered icons that you can rearrange.

Start/Restart......and hold down the Ctrl (sometimes it is F8) key while
your computer is shutting down and rebooting.......this will bring up a
black and white screen with 4 choices.......pick #3 which is Safe Mode. A
Help screen will come up, but close it.

OK...you are now in Safe Mode. Do the Scandisk and then Defrag in that
order and when finished, click Start/Restart and it will reboot into Normal
Mode.

Good luck.....it is quite easy once you do it a time or two. But this is
the best way to do the above.

Cheers......Heather.......and if you have any more questions, just ask.

heather: thanks for making it look easy for me to follow. I will write down
your directions. Just for the record the cause for my not appreciating
Firefox was probably that I would click and it opened to a Google Search.
Then I was trying to change my profile/email address and couldn't.
Recently I switched to Optimum Online/cable from DSL/MSN, it prompted me
to change my email address.
I guess I just didn't how to make changes in Firefox.
But be as it may, I might give it a try?
And it is good to know that Firefox isn't causing whatever is going on.

ciao.. boni.

Heather miuch appreciated the guidance. Just finished ( 6hrs) Scan
disk/Defrag on Safe Mode.
When completed and then restarted a blue screen message read:
There are no stack pages ..necessary to increase the settings of MinSPs in
System.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There are currently 3 SPs
allocated. click any key. ? Then pc went back to Normal

But, prior to starting the whole Safe Mode today I received on screen
message which I have NOT seen in weeks, reads:
TASK SCHEDULER SERVICE
Some task did not execute at their scheduled times because the Task
Scheduler Service was not running. You can view the list of missed tasks and
attempt to run them again, from within the Scheduled Task folder.
These were in the folder: Maintenance Disk Clean up / Spybot / Tune-up
Appl.start including ( Scan-disk and Defrag which I just completed).
Could I have run the other Task on Safe Mode as well ? let me know.
I had mentioned before that I deleted Firefox from Control Panel.
What should I do first to Restore It ? thanks, boni.

Hi Boni.....

I can answer some of your questions, but will let the experts answer the
MinSP ones....I know I changed mine and recall that it is in increments of
4, but will let one of them tell you. I just checked mine and it is set at
4. But I have upped it to 8 one time, I believe.

Glad to hear you got Scandisk and Defrag done.....but 6 hours?? Have you
not done it for a long time?

As for Firefox.....just download it again and open it. Unless you saved it
as an unopened program on your hard drive. You no longer have it on there,
in other words. I am still poking around finding out about extensions, etc.
There are certain things I love about it, and no popups is one of them. I
find it is faster than IE as well. Yet you need IE to go to Windows Update
for critical patches, etc.

Task Scheduler....I have mine disabled. And have had it that way for a long
time. I just checked in Control Panel/Scheduled Tasks and each of the 5 are
disabled. I right-clicked each one and at the bottom left, the 'enabled'
box is unchecked. I assume that it how I disabled them. Again, the experts
here can verify this.....

Glad to hear that things are sorting themselves out. I wish I could answer
all of your questions, but the MVP's will be able to do so.

Cheers....Heather

Hi Heather, In response to your question the answer isYes. It has been a
while since I Defrag / Scandisk my system. My PC is over 4y/o. And the first
time I Defrag/Scan on Safe Mode . Successful I might add. Q. Should all
other Scheduled Task other then just Defrag/Scandisk be done on Safe Mode ?
On the the subject of MinSP, still waiting..
I just checked and I found Firefox in C: Win , will I just need to click to
start over?
Would appreciate the MVP's on the subject of disablling "all tasks" in
Task Scheduler.
Just checked out the 10/16 entry Using Firefox..... newsgroup. will be
useful.
On my way out and follow up later this evening .
Ciao..boni

Start/Restart......and hold down the Ctrl (sometimes it is F8) key while
your computer is shutting down and rebooting.......this will bring up a
black and white screen with 4 choices.......pick #3 which is Safe Mode.

A
Help screen will come up, but close it.

OK...you are now in Safe Mode. Do the Scandisk and then Defrag in that
order and when finished, click Start/Restart and it will reboot into

Normal
Mode.

Good luck.....it is quite easy once you do it a time or two. But this

is
the best way to do the above.

Cheers......Heather.......and if you have any more questions, just ask.

hi,
(actual data) i will try. recent post 2/21 SPYBOT. problem was

fixed, so
i
thought. i also used immunization (advance mode). I scanned 2/24

found :
Media plex 1, Advertizing.com 2, Ave a. inc 1, Double click 1,

DSO.exploit
2,
Huntbar 1.
Aside of this issue. which i continue to try and resolve
On 2/22 i installed mozilla/firefox.browser. chose to uninstall.

control
panel deleted. did not interest me.
Today, ez trust-anti virus found : 2viruses
c restore\ temp win32. tibser h trojan A0127976 & A0127980. with an
additional 30+ files unable to scan. ?
For more information it would have required me to click their web

site ,
and all i needed to do was click www.ca etc... instead , I received
error..UNABLE TO START WEB BROWSER. and I have noticed Firefox has
appeared
in other areas.
The question whether when I deleted Mozilla/Firefox from Control

Panel
is
there any other changes that need to be completed. For ex. should I go

to
C: win appl data Moz/Fire Prof xxxxx default. and DELETE ?
Or do I merely go to System Restore. and set date to prior

installation
of
Moz/Fire. or leave well enough alone. i get the jitters the thought

of

This was the *first time* you ever scandisked & defragged in over 4 years??
Mindboggling!!

One of the MVP's should be able to advise you on the MinSP
question......also on the Task Scheduler because I don't use it.

Re Firefox.....you don't say what you have found, but I should think you
will have to redownload the program.....uninstalling them leaves a folder or
two behind in Windows Explorer a lot of the time.

Cheers....Heather

Hi Heather, In response to your question the answer isYes. It has been a
while since I Defrag / Scandisk my system. My PC is over 4y/o. And the

first time I Defrag/Scan on Safe Mode . Successful I might add. Q.
Should all other Scheduled Task other then just Defrag/Scandisk be done on
Safe Mode ?

On the the subject of MinSP, still waiting..
I just checked and I found Firefox in C: Win , will I just need to click

to
start over?


Would appreciate the MVP's on the subject of disablling "all tasks" in
Task Scheduler.
Just checked out the 10/16 entry Using Firefox..... newsgroup. will be
useful.
On my way out and follow up later this evening .
Ciao..boni

Hi Boni.....

I can answer some of your questions, but will let the experts answer the
MinSP ones....I know I changed mine and recall that it is in increments

of
4, but will let one of them tell you. I just checked mine and it is set

at
4. But I have upped it to 8 one time, I believe.

Glad to hear you got Scandisk and Defrag done.....but 6 hours?? Have

you
not done it for a long time?

As for Firefox.....just download it again and open it. Unless you saved

it
as an unopened program on your hard drive. You no longer have it on

there,
in other words. I am still poking around finding out about extensions,

etc.
There are certain things I love about it, and no popups is one of them.

I
find it is faster than IE as well. Yet you need IE to go to Windows

Update
for critical patches, etc.

Task Scheduler....I have mine disabled. And have had it that way for a

long
time. I just checked in Control Panel/Scheduled Tasks and each of the 5

are
disabled. I right-clicked each one and at the bottom left, the

'enabled'
box is unchecked. I assume that it how I disabled them. Again, the

experts
here can verify this.....

Glad to hear that things are sorting themselves out. I wish I could

answer
all of your questions, but the MVP's will be able to do so.

Cheers....Heather

Heather miuch appreciated the guidance. Just finished ( 6hrs) Scan
disk/Defrag on Safe Mode.
When completed and then restarted a blue screen message read:
There are no stack pages ..necessary to increase the settings of

MinSPs in
System.INI to prevent possible stacks faults. There are currently 3

SPs
allocated. click any key. ? Then pc went back to Normal

But, prior to starting the whole Safe Mode today I received on screen
message which I have NOT seen in weeks, reads:
TASK SCHEDULER SERVICE
Some task did not execute at their scheduled times because the Task
Scheduler Service was not running. You can view the list of missed

tasks
and
attempt to run them again, from within the Scheduled Task folder.
These were in the folder: Maintenance Disk Clean up / Spybot /

Tune-up
Appl.start including ( Scan-disk and Defrag which I just completed).
Could I have run the other Task on Safe Mode as well ? let me know.
I had mentioned before that I deleted Firefox from Control Panel.
What should I do first to Restore It ? thanks, boni.

For what it is worth.......Firefox is not the cause of your

problems. I
have been using it for a while now and it is excellent!! If you

removed
it
via Add/Remove, it may have left some folders on your Hard Drive. I

usually
remove those manually.....but try a System Restore to before you

put it
on.

As for Safe Mode, I just finished a scan and defrag in it and I will

give
you the instructions on how to get into it......and when you are

finished,
you just go to Start/ReStart and it will automatically come up in

Normal
Mode, with a few scattered icons that you can rearrange.

Start/Restart......and hold down the Ctrl (sometimes it is F8) key
