Can't download anything
I have Windows 98. I don't have any viruses. I am unable
to download the Google Toolbar and any other program that I'd like too. After trying to download something, I get a blank white screen with a small box (enclosing geometrical shapes)in the upper left hand corner. Can anyone help? |

Can't download anything
Hi,
Although this may not seem as though this will be the most efficient answer, I would like for you to try this option of mine: click the start button, go to the "find" table, highlight and click the files or folders option, once you've done that type: jdbg.exe and/or jdbgmgr.exe. If either of those "programs" appear on your computer, there will be a teddy bear icon, you should delete them as soon as possible and reinstall(after uninstalling) Windows on your computer. Even after you've re-installed WIN98(SE) onto your computer you're going to have to run the same query to rid your computer of this program. Althought the program may have had some useful purposes at one point, it has become a vantage point for trojans and other forms of destruction to your computer. After you have re-installed WIN98(SE) and evicted the "teddy bear" program(jdbg(mgr).exe) you should quickly obtain your IP information from various sources: one being your ISP and the other,if you are using a DSL adapater or Cable modem, by clicking start, highlighting and clicking "run". Once you've opened a window for that option you should type in "winipcfg". Another window will appear and you should open the scroll box and choosing your other option(s)*DO NOT USE THE PPP ADAPTER*. Click the renew all option and then press the ok button if the proper IP and other codes are in place. If you opted to try the second option first and it did not work, please call your local ISP tech support and ask them to 1) guide you through the process or 2) make a house call to fix your problem(chances are if you're reading this you've either already got your PC connected or you're using another computer to access this information:either is sufficient). I hope that helped, Sandshifter. -----Original Message----- I have Windows 98. I don't have any viruses. I am unable to download the Google Toolbar and any other program that I'd like too.

Do you have documentation for your claims? Because as far as *I* know, there is not one bit of sense in the suggestions you posted. Pure hoax. Those files are no more prone to assisting invasion or infection than any others. If you're intentions are good, please desist from spreading this hoax any further. -- Gary S.

Best I can suggest, Maureen, is to run IE Repair. First, restart your system.
Then try closing as much as possible in the System Tray, down by the clock (use right-click to see what options are offered.) Then go to Start=Run, type in MSINFO32, click OK, and finally look in the Tools menu for IE Repair. The system will automatically restart when the Repair is finished. If that doesn't help, post back. There may be malicious software in play (virus, spyware, adware) and more serious cleansing and repair may be needed. If you want to get a head start on that, look through the last couple of days of posts from me to this forum. I have at least a few times gone into great gory detail on the subject of "Clean Boot" procedures and various anti-scumware cleansing. -- Gary S.
