ya need system specs, 'specially vid card and driver version

9c installs with xp sp2 also

maybe instead of windows update try d/l dx9 and install it locally

i cant remember but there is a stereo opengl settings somewhere needs to be enabled

geez at this time i would cramming my sp2 cd in the drive

thnx for the kudos since i daily fix web hijackings around here there, is always that one file that loads even during a safemode boot the only way i figured out how to remove it easily is to deny the system permission to load.

i would also like to hear other suggestions. this is the first time i've heard of any probs with the ht technology. although when i set the mp version to v1.1 i did have a few problems awhile back

not being terribly familier with the asus bios setup im going to guess the the setting is on the same page with the hyperthreading enable feature. check that setting, it normally defaults to v1.4 (as opposed to v1.1)

find the file u want to delete and right click on it then properties, then the security tab on top. it shows a list of people and things with permissions remove them all. ps if a box pops up saying that inherited permissions rule then hit that advanced button and uncheck the inherited permissions.

xp pro? was the clean install done with hyperthreading enabled? is your bios mp version set at 1.4?

maybe the same ip? bad dns entry?

yet another way right click/properties/security remove all security rights (including system) reboot delete file if the system doesnt have access then it can't load

i also had no problems

still impressive

i installed a slippy sp2. it's clean it's fast popup blocker works great many security settings are off by default so it might be a problem for the laymen. i went to websites that usually have malicious coding and popups galore. no hijack, no popups, no "do u want to install this piece of crap software" active x prompt. but... i went to hp to d/l printer drivers and the xp default security settings wouldnt allow it and didnt notify me. even windows update wouldnt run. after some looking around i found the switches and viola' since i have a decent router firewall i turned xp's off but i will play with that soon.

search these forums for it. there are many threads with good info for your problem.

sorry i lost track of this thread. i can't find the box on your version unless i uninstall and reinstal the older version. not having the time lately has prevented that. your generic win32 host proc, for norton firewall, is your standard loopback connection. it's ok to allow or auto configure that one.

i know just how u feel there is no software that works 100% i have to deal with it here daily on 30 computers. someone is always getting hijacked. my steps are as follows. 1 stop suspected processes in task man 2 handpick thru the registry deleting as much as i can find 3 manually delete program folders: here is where it gets sticky (there are always at least 2 programs that u cant delete, one is lycos(whatever) .dll) 4 scan with adaware 5 read results and note loaded programs 6 try and delete said programs 7 change security permissions on all programs u cant delete removing ALL permissions (including system) 8 reboot 9 delete files u couldnt delete before 10 give client your theory on testing that should be required to operate a computer, and any other darwinian thoughts. believe it or not this works 9 out of 10 times. it's not the answer u were looking for but i hope it helps a little.

Originally posted by packman: Quote: Jerry, Reporting is ALREADY set at the Minimum setting. That's the default. What else can/should I do, to turn off the Alerts? i know exactly what to turn off i just cant remember exactly where it is on v4. intrusion detection should be on, but notify should be off. my version both check boxes are next to each other. now bear with me while i find where that is on your version. (i have that version somewhere around here) *edit* sounds like u have what i call the most fun job <--- process engineer with a degree in physics playin with new stuff is the only wat to work.

i would bet that it would run better slipstreamed.

ok, nis v4 nis and npf have different ui's so i will have to look thru it when i get home. when i reinstall i load my settings from a file so it's hard to remember right offhand. i wouldnt turn anything "off" until u are sure that u are turning only the "alert status" off. *edit: open nis, click on internet status. on the left 2nd down is "reporting" slide the thingy to min... or configure to your likeing. this will stop alerts but not stop security.

neet

i've used npf for years what version? so when i get home i can post step by step.

just go to the alert/reporting area and turn off reporting. this way it'll still block scans but not popup and annoy u.

we have yahoo blocked because we were getting 1000 spam emails a day (yes one thousand) one of our customers also block all of yahoo email. instead of more size they should fix that
