Crimson, It tells you at the link Stormcrow provided m8 lol.......$719 Buckaroos !!

Spyder..... How did ya end up in the end then m8 (hadn't realised we spent nearly 4 hours on ICQ last nite either getting you on the right road rofl, doesn't time fly rofl)!! Did you succesfully delete all those files in the end etc?? Hope ya managed it and things have improved for ya anyway !!

Spyder...... I know you've gone off to try a boot in safe mode after contact on ICQ.... But incase ya can't get on ICQ but ya can here and you run into problems etc (and this will also be here FYI for others too should they find themselves in similar difficulty too )!!! Ya Trojan is looking most likely to be a Multidropper, (hence the name Muldrop in one of the files). That is like an initiator put in the simplest of terms basically. It then kinda drops other Trojans as it works, the crafty little barsteward (Trojans can't replicate like Virii can, so some clever sod designed the

OK, hope ya still here and ya comp hasn't died !! TRYING TO GET YOU ON ICQ TOO, TURN YA ICQ ON M8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 On Windows desktop, right-click My Computer > Properties. Click the Performance tab. Click File System. Click the Troubleshooting tab. Check Disable System Restore, click OK, and then click Close. Click Yes to restart. This disables the System Restore feature and will purge the contents of the _RESTORE folder when the system is restarted. Run LiveUpdate and download the latest virus definitions, and then get scanning like mad lol. Once ya happy that you'

Aha, I can see now why it may not be allowing you to delete them, it's very cleverly put the files into your "System Restore" directory and it won't allow you to delete files from there whilst "System Restore" is enabled!! You may be OK yet !! If you have a new one though it sounds like it's reproducing versions of itself or growing by adding different types of Trojans etc. In the meantime try to avoid rebooting your computer, butyou will have to reboot to turn off your "Sys Restore" tho, but them hopefully you can get rid of the damn things !! Now I'm trying to rack my brains to rem

Just brought one (for a laff lol). Actually went out to buy a second DVD Player (well sort of, the other one is a full DVD-RW/DVD-RAM Recorder too), but once in the shop then thought, what the heck, the PS2 plays the damn things anyway so why not just have the added function of being able to play games on the thing too, for near the same price as a standard DVD Player anyway LMAO !!! Just wondering if there are any worthwhile upgrades or gadgets to get for the PS2 as I really haven't got a clue on Consoles at all and what's available for them etc lol. Never really bothered with em, what

Have you not heard of Interpol Magnum hehehe ??? If cases of spam sent to the UK are serious enough to qualify as a criminal amount (granted that would have to be a pretty stupid amount of the stuff initially lol), then suspects can be pursued through Interpols system Internationaly just like any other criminal matter concerning suspects overseas who have either fled the UK or have launched their attacks from external sources anyway!!! As long as the UK Constabularies do all the ground work and putting respective cases together as normal, then Interpol will probably happily make arrests

LOL No Probs m8 !! Understood.......If ya coding in VB anyway, maybe you could push a bit further to modifying the plug-in for Photoshop yaself, or scripting ya own plug-in for the RSB's to display in VB anyway hehehe?? Suggestion made obviously not knowing why ya want to display the RSB's in VB anyway however, and how good you are with VB too lol (assuming you may be doing it for a School project or something tho lol??)?? So probably still of absolutely no use to you, sorry !! In not knowing why you want to display the RSB's in VB too, all I can sugget is that you could cheat hehehe

Spyder..... Got ya PM and have temporarily added you to my ICQ if we cross paths on there lol, I'm UK and probably a different Time zone to you completely though lol??? Otherwise, list what the names of these Virus/Trojan Applications or Filenames that NAV is telling you they are heree as well, that "may" help us in getting you the right cleaner to hopefully get these sods off ya system for you ! Did you also make up the Emergency Virus discs with NAV too??....If so, that will help you out in DOS as well. Just stick Disc 1 into ya floppy drive, reboot, pop into ya BIOS and change the

Ya simplest way is going to be to convert the RSB's (or "Red Storm Bitmaps" as the file extension stands for (FYI if you hadn't found that out in your searches etc and it's not a common file extension obviously, just a file extension Red Stom made up for use in their games etc blah blah lol)) into standard BMP's or even TGA's if you prefer (as GR will recognise TGA files ingame too as they are), and then view and work on them in VB to your hearts content really. The RSB plugin is designed to work with Adobe Photoshop 6 or 7, but it works too with Paintshop Pro (although some have also had p

Some of these clever new Viruses are a real pain m8, MSBlast for example seems to have a mysterious facility to stop Norton AV updating online and in some cases stops it scanning altogether too. Despite Firewalls and Norton AV, MSBlast still found its way onto my system before many of the AV software manufacturers had a chance to sus the Virus out and issue the updates or the stand-alone cleaners when it first got out, it's possible that you have something like that m8 !!??!! I'm not saying you have for sure obviously, but that is a known effect of MSBlast if you have!! The W.32 Klez series

Heya Snakebite, Yeh, very valid point m8 as ever ! Granted some poeple will always have problems with certain kit I do agree, but having read thru all of those posts last nite I can't remember ever seeing so many all complaining of the same issues for other kit if ya know what I mean lol, many of them with no direct cure to them either, it isn't encouraging reading even if you know that forums in general do have to be taken with a pinch of salt much of the time too as you say!! For the same problems to be so widespread and repeated so much means that something isn't as it should be I s

Heya guys, good to see ya too !! OK....replies lol..... Chef-Scott, yeh, I knew about the ctrl-f1 function for the hidden BIOS settings, but all that really adds is options for altering memory timings, latencies etc and a few other options that have no direct bearing on the problem in hand, but thanx for ya suggestion m8 ! Dark Ranger, yeh we also cleared the CMOS (BTW, the battery needs to be removed for nearer 20 minutes for it to be sucesful too if you ever encounter any problems of ya own in the future too m8, removing it for 60 secs or so doesn't seem to clear it lol! Interestin

Hey all, Hope all you regulars are well ????? Have been drawing blanks on a problem my freinds comp has and he's getting to the point of dropping his Comp out of the 3rd floor Window hehe, just wondering if any "Gigabyte MoBo owners" have seen summat similar to the following before and may know of a cure for the poor guy please lol. I promised him I'd ask where there was a good chance that one of the people would know something to help him !!! What it is, he has exactly the same MoBo as me (Gigabyte GA-7VAXP, (BIOS flashed to the factory standard at the time of purchase to F11 BTW))

LMAO....... Typical lol, one of the 120gig drives has a nasty fault and has gotta go back lol, too late now but may just get another extra one and consider using mirroring as I'm going to lose my system drive for a few days lol!! See ya when I get it back lol!!!!

I have an older SD-R1002 still floatin about and under WinME or previous it would never install as a full Combi CD-RW and DVD drive, only as a CD and DVD-ROM. Under XP the necassary drivers are installed and it recognises it fully as both with no problems!! Assume you aren't running XP on ya laptop??? There is a driver you can get hold of to try on their website that is supposed to run all of the drives called cddrv224.zip!! I never had to use it as the old comp that it came with had the manufacturers WinME Restore CD's and not just a normal copy of WinME etc! That had the drivers on

Thank you ! More to look at hehehe !

LOL, thanx for replies ......... Thanx WK......I have got 2 x 120gb drives, just forgot to update my Sig rofl!!! Phantom........I thought it was "Mirroring" that basically copied the data of ide-0 and striping just enabled it as another drive???? It's set to Striping at the moment and it doesn't copy ide-0 at all lol????? I'm not too worried about mirroring at the moment TBH as striping seems to be fine (just want it as another drive basically) and all drivers etc are OK and it's absolutely fine, I was just wondering if anyone had any do's and don'ts kinda thing lol, and any other us

Anyone who has used RAID or is using RAID!!! Hopefully some have got some tips and advise on getting the best out of it and any particulars with using it etc!!! Any info people can give on it thru experience would be appreciated please ! Not sure I am using it to its best effect and would like to know of the little things to get the best out of it etc....Cheers peeps !

Same thing happened to me and the only way I could adjust it too was lower the resolution back to 1024x768 instead, which is a shame as the quality of everything else at 1280x1024 was absolutely stunning to say the least and one hell of a diference over 1024x768 too!! Would be very interested if anyone has come across a way to address that one too ???????

Ya not alone with that in the US unfortunately Phantom, it's also very much happened here in the UK too!! Vets aren't half as acknowledged for the sacrafices they made for the good of others as they used to be and it's a real shame! Many individuals and families historically have lost a lot so others could go on living better lives and the recognition for so doing has become less and less over the years (! As per the quote, the end does seem to be far more important than the means to many detatched from personal loss or sacrafice when the means should ultimately always be remembered too

ROFLMAO ! Thanx for the link zjj, it all becomes clear now I can see what they're talking about hehehe!!! Looks like it could be a bit of a hoot that game hehehe, mite just have to shortlist that one !!! If you guys get the full version be sure to post back and tell us what you think of it too!! Nightmare, have you actually got the full game or a demo m8 out of interest?? If I get it I don't know if I should look forward to the "Naked" mod or not LMAO!!! You should have no trouble naming it anyway lol, just call it "Deviant" or summat lololol

@Stinger, I wish you'd read posts properly sometimes before jumping in with both feet m8!!! It's a shame that WhiteKnight had to lock a previous thread and give a little warning of recent issues for and amongst other things you doing just that as it denies others the opportunity to further contribute usefully. And in being completely honest Stinger, of late there is an ever increasing frequency of arrogance in how you reply to people that share the forum with you and there seems to be less constructivness in any information you forward in favour of criticism or argumentative responses to

There is also the latest Nvidia 44.03 Detonator FX driver update that you could "consider" if interested too..... How anyone can compare the stability of them to other older versions in the real world and know for 100% certain just yet is unclear, they were only released 1 week ago lol ! On paper they should be far better but there's really only one way to find out obviously lol! If you can't find them at guru.com then try nvidia.com instead! As per Phantoms method I have personally always looked to get updated drivers from the card manufacturer first that are specific to the card/chip

LOL Phantom ! I dunno m8, there is tons of excellent and informative input we have here to thank you for, also put very eloquently lol ! It just frequently seems to get forgotten that not all computers in use in the world need the most expensive or best bit of kit bolted onto or plugged into them to be useful, efficient and good at what they do. Computers will always have their infinite variables of use for any individual need and with that infinite circumstances that require different applications of hardware and software as required that will work optimally under any given scenario.
