    Go to
    Start>Settings>Control Panel>AdminTools>Services
    and compare your startup services with
    http://www.codecavalier.com/blackviper/WinXP/servicecfg.htm
    This is a cached copy of BlackViper's default list along with recommendations but just stick to the XP defaults given.
    You will need to scroll down to get to the list and if possible print it out for ease of comparison.

    Look for disabled things that should set to Automatic or Manual.

      Make a new directory (folder) called c:\aaa then download this file http://www.comcen.com.au/~fed/regedit.exe
      and place it in the c:\aaa directory.
      Then Dclick it & see what happens.
      You will have to trust me that it's not a virus.
      After you have tried it, delete the directory so my regedit.exe cannot possibly get mixed with yours.

      A leap of faith is needed here. :D

      I tried it, nothing happened, so I deleted the directory.

        Sapphire......  Ok , I see a few things which should be fixed ......So ....the first thing to do is close up anything thats open ......
        Now open hijack this ......

        Click on scan system and save log file ...

        Click on the config button .....when the config window opens ....in the 4 URL boxes Type ........
        http://www.msn.com    .... ( you can change these later if you wish ).

        Click the back button in hijackthis ( lower right corner )

        Now mark for removal the following :

        R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = http://www.begin2search.com/sidesearch.html

        R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://scottstapp.com/

        N3 - Netscape 7: user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "scottstapp.com"); (C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\b18nhr40.slt\prefs.js)

        N3 - Netscape 7: user_pref("browser.search.defaultengine", "engine://C%3A%5CProgram%20Files%5CNetscape%5CNetscape%5Csearchplugins%5 CSBWeb_01.src"); (C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\b18nhr40.slt\prefs.js)

        Ok .......Now click on fix marked .....
        Then reboot into safe mode and run your Panda Antivirus .......   when finished .....reboot back into normal and see how things are ....( check to see if you can get into the control panel .

        Then I would go to M/S update page ........
        http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/default.aspx?ln=en-us   .......   click on the express scan and then select whichever updates are listed as priority.... and make sure you get SP2 .......unless you have some reason that you dont want it ......... It provides good additional security protection as well as a firewall which you can turn on or off as you see fit .

        Let us know

                Have you been able to get into the registry ......?
                Start/run .....  type in regedit  

                Do you have any sort of registry cleaner ?

                If I go Start/Run/Command, when the window opens, I type
                cd\windows, enter
                regedit, enter

                the registry opens that way


                No, I don't have any kind of registry cleaner.
