Hi Carol,
Many thanks for your offer to help.
This forum won't let me post a Hijack this scan.
I originally delayed posting as you suggested as I had an old version of HJT. I've
now brought the problem computer home from my sisters and installed the latest version
of HJT.
In the meantime I'd run into problems scanning the PC with antivirus software but
eventually got Trendmicro Housecall to run a scan which was clean, I needed to install
IE6 so I could install Trendmicro Internet security 2005 (wouldn't install without
IE6).
Adware and spybot scans were clean. I tried to undo the last system restore but it
failed. When I select restore to an earlier point or undo the last restore I get
an error message: An error has occurred in this dialog. Error 29 unspecified error.
Another dialog box sits behind the first one:
Internet Explorer script error, an error has occurred in the script on this page.
I get a the same error when I open My Computer and double click on C: drive, although
I can see the files and folders.
When I open control panel the same error message comes up and the control panel is
completely empty.
When I open About Interner Explorer a similar error message comes up with error 84
unspecified error and the version is blank, Cipher Strength () and Product ID blank.
I ran msconfig, many items appear to be missing from the list.
If I open a dial up internet connection it works for about 5-10 minutes I can browse
(seems slow) then seems to stop. I'm tring to rerun houscall it gets to about 10%
download then stops, and I can no longer get to any web pages, just get message that
the site is unavailable.
If I shut the computer down and restart, I can use the internet connection again
for about 5-10 minutes before it stops again.
I think I need to reinstall Windows ME, I'd like to try an overwrite if possible.
But want to make sure all the spyware and Hijack programs are gone before I start.
I believe I have a copy of WinMe install files on my own machine in Window/Options/Cab/setup.exe
Can I copy the cab files accross to the problem machine and run it or do I need to
start fresh with WinME install CD.
Should I copy WinME install files from the install CD into a folder on C:\ and run
it from there?
Do you think an overwrite will work?
Do I need to reinstall IE6 and Outlook Express etc, or are these programs covered
in the WinME installation?
I tried to post the latest Hijack this scan result but this forum won't let me post
the result, it comes up with a post error.
Thanks again for your help.
Allan
