Can't open my computer
I don't think your problem is with Adobe Acrobat but rather with an unwelcome
and unwanted parasite possibly SafeGuardProtect (see http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/s...ardprotect.asp). For more details see Graham Womack's post in the Win Me General newsgroup. Graham resolved his problem as follows: "Do all this in Safe Mode Make a Restore Point - just in case it gets worse. Using Regedit, search for 'Safeguard'. Make a note of the dll name. Run BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm). Look for the same dll name The 'Details' key should give you more information about when the entries were loaded. Disable the registry entry. Search your hard drive for the dll file (should be in Windows\System). Rename it and a similar named lib file (possibly pdf.dll) - change the extensions. Reboot, cross your fingers and try 'My Computer' " -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Peakboy wrote: When trying to open my computer get error message and nothing open. The same happens when I open control panel.
