JBoDEAN 0 Posted February 24, 2000 Hi. I have gotten this error a few times before, this tiem, installing a q3a screensaver.. 16 Bit Windows Subsytem SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers. VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose CLOSE to terminat the application Any ideas what this means, or how to even fix it? I ran regcleaner, no solution there ------------------ BoDEAN http://www.sammyhagar.net Share this post Link to post
YuppieScum 0 Posted February 24, 2000 The screensaver is written for Win9x, and appears to be trying to install a 16-bit VDD (virtual device driver). I would suggest deleting this as soon as possible, then run a virus/trojan scan... ------------------ SuperMicro P6DBS (dual UW-SCSI) BIOS 2.2, 2*Celery 300a @ 450Mhz, 384MB PC100 RAM SCSI-A=4.3Gb+9Gb, SCSI-B=Tosh32x CD-ROM, Yamaha4416 CD-RW, Iomega ZIP100, IDE1=4.3Gb IBM EtherJet 10/100 NIC PCI + Nortel ADSL "modem" Matrox G400 DH 32Mb AGP + Quantum3D Voodoo2 SLI PCI (CL TNT1 AGP on a shelf) SoundBlaster Live PCI (not Value) Win2K build 2195 Retail (not 120-day eval) Share this post Link to post
JBoDEAN 0 Posted February 24, 2000 Why run a trojan scan? I deleted it alrady. Why would you suggest it is a virus? Will NAV 7.0 scan for trojans virus like you mentioned? ------------------ BoDEAN http://www.sammyhagar.net Share this post Link to post
YuppieScum 0 Posted February 24, 2000 I mentioned the scan because i'm paranoid... It is rather unusual for a screen saver to install a virtual device driver. This suggests it is perhaps attempting to do something less than entirely cosher... The docs for your AV tool will tell you what it scans for... Share this post Link to post
