So in other words he knows just enough about a home network to be absolutely useless to me.:lmao

Now make sure you don't have an EXE infection download this....

and when it says (Do you want a boot up scan?) click yes. after the infection is found press (2) to delete all and get back to us. :tu
:lolYes, I run AVG 8.0. I have tried turning it off to download with no success.Quote:

I have Windows Media installed and the Media Manager that came with my Blackberry is Roxio. I uninstalled my Ipod programs and all the crap that came with that, ie.. Safari, etc.
I am calling Dell right now. If my computer doesn't blow up on me then I'll report back as soon as I get this resolved.
Later......:toast
vista fukn sucks, im new user also
you tried checkn in your user account section....downloads?
do a search files winamp.exe
Uninstall it.
If you use Defender or anything else like that, uninstall it also.
did you disable UAC in vista?
if ur runnin AVG, try disable the resident shield....then try download some pron see if it works
If you can't download ... find someone else who can, have them download the stuff recommended here to a thumb drive, and install from there.
Sorry I should slow down next time I read, add a few Becks Beers to the mix and hit off the Bong and I could have told you press F8 or F10 and go into safe mode and try downloading.
Or was it F7?
If you can still get online Google the make of the notebook and find out if it's F10 or F8 or what ever that brand uses to go into safe mode. Then maybe you can try the restore again.
Now that I think about it, that is actually true of the moderate rich people, but not the super elite rich.Quote:

Sounds to me like an Active X or missing Dll file issue. Both can be infected.
you can take out the HD and run it on another PC and do a Boot up scan. Use the USB adapter.

Also since you have it out already you may as well take off all the data in case you need to do a reinstall.
The adapter is 25-29 dollars at Altex off of 1604.
Or you can drop off your PC and a case of Rolling Rock and I will do it for you.
Good Luck!
All is well again in the land of 2Blonde!!! I backed up all my data to an external HD then the Dell guy tried everything he could think of. He tried to get into my computer remotely but I was missing the files he needed. After 2 1/2 hours, he finally determined I was missing some needed files. He opted to have me reformat the drive and then do a fresh install. I did that and now my capabiities are back. I haven't reloaded all my data yet b/c I'm loading programs I want/need. I am going to take your advice of switching browsers to firefox though. I just read an indepth article on browsers for vista and that seems to be the one that will work best for me.
Thank you guys for everything.:toast
and how much did you paid that guy? $ or sexual favor? :D
when you couldve done this at home for free....
Oh well, I guess that was easier than uninstalling AVG..Quote:
