    Hi,
    OTMoveit2 hung up twice (program not responding.)  I checked for a log, wasn't any...two empty folders.  I typed out what was in the "results box"

    [Custom Input]
    < C:\WINDOWS\system32\nmsl.exe >
    File/Folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\nmsl.exe not found.
    < C:\WINDOWS\plite731.exe >
    File/Folder C:WINDOWS\plite731.exe not found.
    < C:\WINDOWS\nts.exe >
    File/Folder C:\WINDOWS\nts.exe not found.
    < C:\WINDOWS\System32\pfhvlxjr.dll >
    File/Folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\pfhvlxjr.dll not found.
    < C:\WINDOWS\System32\spbuqqxi.dll >
    File/Folder C:WINDOWS\System32\spbuqqxi.dll not found.
    < aivbbzlgg.exe >

    Don't know if that will help?  I did re-boot and checked again (wasn't told to by "OT") anyway, still nothing in the folder.

    Ok, looking better again. Now we need to get some updates.

    Go to Start > Windows Update or go to http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate and install ALL critical security updates listed.

    When it is complete run a new Hjackthis scan and post that log.

      Hi "evilfantasy,"
      TY (mail)

      Not really sure I got what you wanted (searched MS's "Critical Security Downloads" and was directed to these and did them:

      1st, Installed Windows Updates...then "Recommended Installs for this system
      (found under (search) critical security Updates I hope this is what you requested?

      Downloading Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773) (update 1 of 3)...
      Downloading Update for Windows XP (KB898461) (update 2 of 3)...
      Downloading Update for Windows XP (KB898461) (update 2 of 3)...
      Downloading Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) (update 3 of 3)... done!
      Initializing installation... done!
      Installing Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773) (update 1 of 3)...
      Installing Update for Windows XP (KB898461) (update 2 of 3)...
      Installing Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) (update 3 of 3)...


      ADDITIONALY, HOPE I didn't mess up what you are doing but I downloaded and installed Foxfire2 and Thunderbird.  If I shouldn't have done that at this time...very sorry and will cease further "enhancements."  Also want to install "Musicator" ,"Midi-OX". "Lilypond" (music and scoring/ Midi related)  Will wait pending your go ahead.

      HiJack.txt is attached.

      Tks,
      Dan

      I was hoping to see the Windows XP SP2 update included. Was it an option, and if so please go back and install it as well.

      Using Firefox is fine, but I would wait on any other downloads until we are done.

          Yes, please go back to the updates page and search for updates. Look for XP SP2 in the descriptions and install that.

            Sorry it will take so long but it is crucial that it is installed. There are many security features included in it.

              Hi evilfantasy,

              I don't mind spending the time, I don't want to waste yours.

              This "EULA" thing may take more than we both thought.  I did go to the Microsoft site as you advised and tried running the "WGA" but it wouldn't complete.  Reason: may not have proper ACTIVE X Controls and gave instructions to look at the "INFO BAR" and go from there.  All fine but have no "INFO BAR" on IE and couldn't find anywhere to activate it.  Sent a message to MS but who knows when they might reply?  Thought maybe I need a newer version of IE?  I have ver 6.0.2800.xpsp2.030422-1633.  Not sure about dropping in ver 7.xxx?

              I realize that getting SP 2 installed is TOP LINE PRIORITY.  I am tenacious and I WILL GET IT INSTALLED!  You have the patience of a Saint.  TY.  I'll keep moving on this.  Need a little break.  Will see you later.  db-10

              Talk to everyone you know and even make a few calls to the local Computer shops to see if anyone has the CD...they are still available to order if you cannot find one.

              You can also "try" to get the updates using Firefox from Windiz. I don't know if it will help but it is worth a shot.

              Quote
              Why use WindizUpdate?

              Not only will it keep you up to date with the latest updates from Microsoft, it will also keep software and drivers from other vendors updated. However, that functionality is currently missing.


              Good reasons to use WindizUpdate

                  * No personally identifiable information is collected from your computer.
                  * No more unwanted spyware -- Microsoft Internet Explorer can finally be removed from your computer (if that were possible).
                  * It lists just the updates you need. If an update has been superceded by a newer one, it will not ask you to install the older one.
                  * Using enhanced data from MBSA, WindizUpdate will find more security patches needed for your O/S than the "other" website.
                  * If there is a security issue with a component that is not yet installed, it will not ask you to update it. For example, if you have not installed hyperterminal, it will not update it.
                  * It is not restricted to just Microsoft products. Software from other vendors can also be updated.
                  * Upgrading to the latest version of Internet Explorer is not considered a Critical Update!
                  * Works on Windows versions no longer supported by Microsoft -- Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95
                  * Our plugin is not an ActiveX control.
                  * Integrated download manager with error detection -- you can cancel downloads at any time, and the next time you wish to install the cancelled update, it will continue from where it left off. Only corrupted sections of the file are redownloaded.

              If you are still not convinced that WindizUpdate is the site for you, please check out our page titled "do we need to say any more?

              Disadvantages

                  * There is a delay from when new updates are released from Microsoft to when they appear on this site.
                  * If you're using Internet Explorer, you will need to use Microsoft's Windows Update site for updates -- this site will be of no use to you.
                  * You'll need to upgrade your browser if you're using MSIE 4.xx -- This site won't work, neither will Microsoft's.

                Hi evilfantasy and tks to patio also,

                Working on getting SP2...sources (shops) around here are...well forget it.  All they see is $$$$$$$$$$$$.  Bring it in etc.  $100.00+ to "Clean" the computer and $50.00/GB too save programs or data?  I never tried to bilk My Customers the entire time I was active.  I have no doubt that you and Computer Hope are doing a much better job then they would ever do and not a program nor piece of data has been lost yet and I don't think any will.

                Anyway, checking with Keri in TX  for the "UPdate" and in the meantime, had overnight response from Microsoft Tech Support for the EULA issue (they did validate the Key code as genuine) but either the System WASN'T installed with the Genuine Key or the WAG engine wasn't installed properly.  They will help me get that all corrected.  I think its important to get her (Keri's) system right and then install  SP 2.

                Therefore, unless you want me to do something different, I will get this (these) other thing(s) out of the way and GET that SP 2 INSTALLED.

                Until next...will post again ASAP.

                Thanks again,
                Dan

                You can ask MS to ship you a SP2 CD. They used to do it for free but I think they now charge shipping. Worth a shot as you won't have to rely on the dial up connection to get it installed.

                  Hi,

                  Yes they will ship and it is free and at 266MB certainly more appropriate that "trying" to download on dial-up.  But indications are 4 to 6 weeks delivery time.  Therefore, trying all other avenues.  If they will ship overnight, it would be worth the shipping.  Will try to get an answer to that today with the "Tech Rep" there.
