blonde poker forum

After logging onto user, i usually have to enter password, this has not happened.
Where password box usually appears, 3 messages appear

1st.  SonicSelector Download engine system error &H800706BA (-214702314)

2nd. RegisterClassObjects failed; hRes=Ox800706BA the RPC server is unavailable maximum retry attempts exceeded

3rd. McAffee Virus scan seems to have run out of resources or Memory is too low

HELP PLEASE!!!!

It has plenty of memory left, I cannot open half my programs (nothing happens at all)
No Volume, and hardly any functions.
Cannot system restore as it says i need to restart and try again, still does not let me restore.
Wits end and I am not a techy, can any techies help?

Ironic thing is that I can still get onto poker sites and Blonde

I have a feeling my security centre is due to expire soon, but i cannot open it to find out, some icons are missing from my task bar.

BOO HOO Any ideas??

There is a thread on here about a new virus, it COULD be this...

Thx Flushie, iread the thread byronkid but i cannot open any links (new problem encountered) to find out what was said. Everything was working fine 5 hours ago, but my mrs has been on the computer whilst i been in bed, shes fast asleep now and I fear for my life if i wake her!

My old comp was infected back in june, when i tried restore it would not go back past the today date..anyway these guys walked me through it..takes awhile but well worth posting on here and see what they can do...

As you can see i have put xxxx infront of the url so as not to create a link between forums..

can you do a restore point?

if you are on windows xp itwill be in control panel, or use help topics to find it...

do the restore point to about 3 days ago....

Try turning the 'puter on and tapping F8, a menu will pop up and select start last known good configuration (or something like that).

wont let me do a restore, at the point where i will start from scratch but it wont let me do that either.

done the F8 thing and it said re-boot hard drive i ok'd it and it is still the same

Have you tried throwing it out the window?

The F8 thing should give you a menu with several options, one should be "start last known good configuration".
Didn't you get this?

Heid, that ctrl shift didnt do anything it went str8 into windows

IFM pressed f8 gave me three options
select boot drive
1. hard disk
2 jlms xj-hd166s
3 realtek boot agent

pressed hard drive and got 2 more options

pm st3160021A
bootable add in cards

pressed the first one

No joy, the comp is 1 year  and 1 day old apparently when mrs used it at about 3am nothing came up apart from found new hard ware, the old printer, scanner etc., no task bar and all the above warnings.
given up on security centre as that must have ran out earlier today, but i just cant seem to wipe anything off and start from scratch!! cheers for helping, anymore suggestions?

Second one is your dvd drive, 3rd is your network card i believe.
Right then, reboot and tap esc, then press F1 when prompted.
You should then go into the Bios software, look for an option to disable LAN and save changes and exit.

after page came up it went straight into windows again. Accidentally got into last known configuration and this did nothing it is still the same? is it time to take down to puter hospital?

it says on page that quickly flashes up at start F2 is BIOS but this does not do anything either. I crying now BOOOO HOOOOOO

Heid I started it in safe mode as well but it wouldnt let me system restore then either GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Pretty crazy though the only 2 things i can access are Blonde and Victor Chandler!!! How Bizzare?? Is this fate or does the computer just know what my life consists of??

reboot holding F2 then, i am fairly sure it's having trouble booting from your LAN card.
If you get into the bios disable the LAN and reboot, if it has an effect you may need to reenable it to get back on the net though.

It wouldn't let you restore in safe mode?
Why not, what came up in sys restore?

in safe mode it said that i needed to restart computer and try again, the same message that i had been getting in other mode

in safe mode the first thing it does is prompt you to use system restore, did that not happen?

Doesn't sound like hardware to me so i'd ignore the BIOS for now.

Does the computer go into safemode without any errors?

only when i get annoyed and switch the comp on and off at switch

F2 does nothing

The message it says when i try and restore is

The system restore cannot protect your computer. Please restart your computer and try again.

This is a fairly common problem with restore.

how to fix this problem so you can get them in the future.
Right click My Computer, choose "Properties" then click on "System Restore" tab.
Put a check in the box for "Disable Restore on all drives". Click OK, then Reboot your PC.
After you reboot, go back to the System Restore tab and uncheck the box. Click OK.
Next, go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools then click "System Restore". Choose "Create a Restore Point" and give it a name like "Reset" as a reminder.

If you get an error message regarding one of your drives (dvd) then i would be fairly certain a virus is on your system.
I posted a link in the virus thread for microsofts web based scanner, use that.
I have to go to work now but if you're quick i may be able to point you in the right direction

Are they the exact words? It sounds a bit unlike MS like...

Have you done anything to your computer recently? Installed any new software/hardware? Changed anything? Have you had any odd behaviour apart from this?

Do you use Sonic Selector to download music?

just  trying ifm's suggestion at mo, but no i havent used sonic music manager at all since i got computer exactly 1 year ago. Not had any funny behaviour from the comp before.

Just leaving so i'll post this just in case.
If it is a virus or you suspect one you can ask some proper experts :)
Follow the instructions here:-
http://www.isecurity.org.uk/misc/hijackthis.html

Post the results in the spyware/virus section of this forum:-

http://www.d-a-l.com/help/

Good luck!!

Says that system restore encountered a problem enabling/disabling one of the drives please restart and try again.

Can you run virus software in safe mode?  Or adaware or spyware software?

I think McAfee have an online virus checker too - or they used to have.

The link IFM gave is an online tool, its microsofts own and is pretty good, i ran it and it was easy to use

Just quickly scanned the replies, so forgive me if i'm way off base or this has already been suggested, Hijack This can be downloaded from the this link:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/HijackThis_d3155.html (http://www.majorgeeks.com/HijackThis_d3155.html)

Once you have the log that it produces you can post it on their forum, someone will tell you how to fix the problem, IF, of course, it is a virus/hijacker.

Sounds a pain whatever it is, Best of luck fixing it.

Morning sleepy.

Smashed 1 keyboard up already, on tilt and i haven't played poker yet!

I do not get any messages when i start now, however i have no volume, half my programs still don't work. If I minimise anything it disappears completely, takes 10 minutes to start up, cannot copy and paste anyything, no links work and i just wasted £39.99 on downloading mcafee 2006 as it has completely been swallowed up somewhere on this @!&$ computer, still cant restore HAPPY SODDING NEW YEAR!!!

GGGGGRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Did you do as i said?
If you get the error message for the drive (which you did) it is almost certainly a virus, get hijackthis and post the results on the forum and they will sort it for you.

Cheers IFM did it, but could not find the forum to post it on. Erased a couple of suspect programs myself, and then got carried away and deleted much more than i was suppossed to. lol. Using my spare computer now as i am gonna take the sick one to the doctors. Thanks to everyone for help. Just wished I could have saved some info before it goes but alas poo happens :D

The info will probably still be on the drive, i'm sure the computer doctors can sort it out for you if you ask...

I just hope you deleted all the gay porn  rotflmfao

Damn, would that be the stuff giving me the Virus? :D
