| 51114 | 2002-05-27 11:33:00 | For some reason my computer writes two random .tmp files to the windows directory every start up. I am very confused and cannot figure it out. They are always 0Kb and named aand with the same time, but different names. the last two names are fffebf33_{970EEA6B-C315-418D-9298-BF47EF2987A8.tmp and fffebf33_{6BF60C57-2072-4F39-8CFC-C2DF20B885C9}.tmp. Any ideas ??? |

| 51117 | 2002-05-28 01:49:00 | Yes Gordon and tweak'e, you are both right. Predominantly a winME prb where Machine Debug Manager (mdm.exe) does not place the files in the temp file, but rather in the root or windows directory. It is a fault which as far as I know, does not have a fix. However, mdm.exe is not required, so you can just disable it from statup. Goto Start>Run... Type msconfig press enter. Goto the startup tab and untick mdm. Or you can remove it from the registry at HKLM\Software\windows\current version\run [or run services i can't remember]. BACK UP first! G P |
