It looks like the remnants of spyware left in the registry. There are better people than me on this site for telling you where to look in the registry.

Easy Tune 4 is an Overclocking Utility made by the Motherboard Manufaturer Gigabyte. It comes on the Installation CD. I have not tried to run this program, but I'll try that and probably uninstall Easy Tune 4.0. I'll keep you posted what happens. On Tuesday, October 21, 2003 at 1:18 pm, Ricer46 wrote: >Oh, okay.

But I'm not much on over-clocking, so I didn't do more than play with it. Interesting though, just tried to run it and it wouldn't open??? But I don't think that has anything to do with the problem you first posted. Then again maybe some of my sptware blocking software is keeping it from running??? Interesting thought.

Now that I think of it you may be right with Spybot preventing it from running correctly. But then again I don't know. Anyway, I'm not too big on overclocking either so I just removed the program.

I removed the Gigabyte Tools that were installed from Support CD v1.11 and installed from Support CD v1.21.

So it has to do with write permissions or something. I use SpyBot too for a short time but am quite certain that the problem ocurred later than the last usage of SpyBot. But I don't have a solution yet.

I uninstalled easytune and still had the markfun crap. so I unplugged the pc, took the batterey out (cleared the cmos) waited 20 seconds replaced the batterey and plugged it back in . problem solved. I hope this works for some of you..

I have EasyTune5 and same problem occurs. There is no question but that it is an admin rights problem - just use RunAs an admin account and it works fine (no crashes and GUI all OK). [I now have to workround a bunch of similar admin rights problems, so EasyTune programmers are now worse than average.] 2. I suspect (given that they didn't test install properly) that uninstall could equally well be broken. Note there are options to autosave/run each boot. 3. I consider it extremely unlikely that CMOS reset had any impact on uninstall. If it did then, IMHO, its the level of sophistication only virus writers would put in perhaps as their magic uninstall trick to protect themselves. Gary, can you remember what re-boot and login sequence you went through and if any other security changes had taken place ?

Initially I thought it was a conflict between Gigabyte and nVidia drivers... but I'm certain this is not the case now. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with EasyTune and the sequence it loads (before or after another service?). I'm just gonna scrap EasyTune, don't find it very usefull anyway.

Thats why it occurs sometime and sometime not. Just kick off that Gigabyte oc-tool, which i did by myself. Everything works fine now. If you'r using oc just do it as always - in the BIOS.

I can overclock and save the settings for reload on next boot all I want. Just trying to overclock using the Bios version (F2) would always reset itself. Now I have no problems at all, this EasyTune5 fix worked for me. [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: MarkFun_Load_NT_Driver error message Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at 10:21 am Posted by CameronB (2 messages posted) Hi majikq6600, Could you be a little more descriptive about your fix. I am not at all experienced in editing my registry and I believe you are talking about editing registry. Please let me know if this is correct. I have exactly the same problem as you did only with a Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H motherboard and EasyTune5.

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: MarkFun_Load_NT_Driver error message Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at 3:46 pm Posted by majikq6600 (2 messages posted) Hi, This is not a registry fix. although it is stored in the registry. All this does is add C:\Program Files\Gigabyte\ET5Pro to your path statement. Here is how(XP PRO): Log-in as an administrator. 1. Click Start->Settings->Control Panel 2. Double click the System Icon 3. From the System Dialog Click on the Advanced Tab. 4. At the bottom you should see a button named Environment Variables click on this to open the environment settings. 5. You should see two list boxes. One for USER Variables and one at the bottom for SYSTEM Variables. 6. In the Bottom one SYSTEM variables list box find the variable named Path 7. Double click on this or single click and select the edit button. 8. click to insert your cursor at the end. Then enter this: ;C:\Program Files\Gigabyte\ET5 9. NOTE* the semicolon in front you need this to seperate your entries. 10. Then just select the OK button to close everything. 11. Re-start your system, this should correct your ET5 problems. By the way ET6 has been released I am now running this and when I installed it I just updated the path to point to ET6. This is a much improved version and I have never seen the MARK FUN garbage since. I really hope this helps you!!! [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: MarkFun_Load_NT_Driver error message Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 6:25 pm Posted by CameronB (2 messages posted) Thank you Majikq6600 for your help, Tried uninstalling ET5, loading ET6 and adding the path variable ;C:\Program Files\GIGABYTE\ET6 . (Note: GIGABYTE in the tree structure is uppercase) EasyTune6 started up a couple of times OK using the start menu. Strangely though, the shortcut that was placed on the desktop by the installer didn't work at all. Then ET6 wouldn't start at all after clicking on the shorcut on the desktop!!! So I removed the path item you suggested and still it wouldn't start at all. So I removed EasyTune6, ran a scan program to clean up my registry and then reinstalled ET6 and it works without the path variable added. Seems with all the uninstalling and installing of EasyTune and other programs there were 11 dead entrys and 1 error which the scan fixed. I suggest that you use this tool, it's free from Microsoft, to scan and fix your registry if necessary. http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/center/howsafe.htm It also scans for viruses and trojan horses, etc... and it's pretty quick. Again, thank for your help.
