I HAD Kazaa some time back but deleted it within 24 hrs when my son told me about
it. But I didnt realize how intrusive it was. That winace.exe is my zip/compression
prog. or has kazaa metamorphazied into making me think its the zip file?
I have looked on the startup list and the win.ini and other files are not there.
What I posted is all that it shows. Is there anyplace else to get these files?
thru My Comp. maybe? I double check it again.
That NewdotNet is not on the Add/Remove. I checked that the other night when I first
started following your and Jmc's instructions.
What's with the MS critical update notification? Whatever it is, it wont be there
in 15 minutes.
Ok, let me review your post and try to get caught up. I surfed a little bit earlier
and didnt get near the number of illegal errors I was getting. Maybe we are about
to get this thing by the throat. I couldn't do it without you and Jmc. Thanx
