| 461916 | 2006-06-09 12:14:00 | Hey people, I just got a problem when I try to open regedit from the Run window. I shows these error messages: C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.com C:\PROGRA~1\symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL. An installable Virtual Divice Driver failed Dll initialization. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedit.com C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. Anybody know whats wrong? Thanks Am trying to get in so I can perminantly delete a virus called p2pnetworking.exe which is not picked up by the virus scanners I have. |

| 461917 | 2006-06-09 13:31:00 | Download and run this little program, it will replace the autoexec.nt and config.nt files with good ones from your backups. homepages.slingshot.co.nz | pheonix (36) | ||
| 461918 | 2006-06-09 13:36:00 | It is possible that the virus has blocked your access to regedit, I suggest that you download Hijackthis and post the log here for analysis. Read this first then post the log here not where they suggest. forums.majorgeeks.com |

| 461919 | 2006-06-10 12:03:00 | Yeah, thanks guys, have downloaded a few programmes and done a big system cleanout and now both the regedit and taskmanager now work and the p2p application is no longer been controlled by someone else. I just now have another annoying problem. I restarted windows and now the task bar, programme windows, start menu ect... all look like they are back to the old windows 98 look, (the grey task bar & start menu). I'd forgotten how bad it looked!!! :D Has anybody got any ideas?? Thanks |

| 461920 | 2006-06-10 12:31:00 | Start/settings/taskbar and start menu/choose the start menu not the classic one. Save the version that you have now, before you customise, I have found it is possible to get into strife here and you may want to go back. |
