451081 2006-05-01 09:10:00 The following (dialogue box) message keeps appearing every 10 minutes or so "Screenflasher Runtime-error '339' Componenet 'systemhook.dll' or one of its dependancies not correctly registered:a file is missing or invalid"

I've tried various anti-viruses, anti-spyware, anti-trojans and registry fixs and it just keeps on appearing. It doesn't seem to be causing any other problems and there doesn't seem to be much help available via Google.

I'm still not sure whether it is a valid error message or not!

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers

Mike

451083 2006-05-01 21:28:00 not correctly registered? it could be a file that needs to be registered i guess, is it a newish pc? if there is a file name that pops out at you in the details go to run and type: regsvr32 filename
it could work, i dunno

451084 2006-05-03 09:38:00 Can't really find much that's useful on 'Screenflasher'. It may not be a virus - not sure. Still trying various anti-viruses and 'Highjack This Log' advice.

The regsvr32 command produces "The specified module could not be found"

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers

451085 2006-05-03 10:35:00 Get the file in my sig below. We'll see whats in startup.

You may have installed this program (or uninstalled it), and its running on startup or something. Or its installed and a file it uses is corrupted. Or hasnt registered itself.

Screenflasher looks like its has something to do with changing SWF files into screensavers, or something.

Then reboot. I wouldnt run too many firewalls at the same time. Looks like you're running Zonealarm and Norton Internet Security? As they can conflict.

451089 2006-05-03 11:44:00 Thanks for the quick response.

Done all that. Hopefully that will get rid of the dammed thing! I'll let you know.

Only running Zone alarm with Norton Antivirus. My be something left over from Systemworks.

Many many thanks
