But I /never/ thought (duuuh) of using Dep. Walker and the indication of "wmuhook problem" would more than explain it since WMU affects EVERY Windows window. And aside from the "growing pains" kernel32.dll error 10 minutes after dumping WMU about 24 hrs ago, everything has been perfect.

: IF you might have done a search for the IS TNT error Ah, it was in the WMU hook kernel section in the dep. walker info.... Yes, I could have, but I thought it simpler to get rid of the always slightly buggy and sloppy (although EXTREMELY necessary) WMU and find a serial for File-Ex, which I have done. [Guilty as charged. I MAY pay for it, I /have/ (really!) often paid for programs after using them for a while with a crack/serial. It's a good feeling to pay for good software. Not a good feeling to pay for ****, which has ALSO happened to me - the "great new features" fooled me! Never again!] , you might have found it relates to older programs written around the Detonator or older era of NVidia's drivers [newer versions do not have that particular entry and changed registry locations as well {causing additional errors}], and programs searching for it. Nothing from NVidia in here, and I never heard of Detonator, At one time I could have provided the registry entries needed manually placed, but that information was archived years ago ,,, somewhere,,, Might still be somewhere via a search though... Thanks, I appreciate the help. For now, everything seems OK... |
