| | K. Not a lot of detail there... Lessee, some logon changers alter boot.ini to start their logon screen, others replace the bitmaps in logonui.exe, some replace logonui, some just get called by a Run key. So, what logon changer are you using?  |

| | Did you get around to completing the malware cleaning, rogue, and remove the cracks? Cracks which modify the existing executables can be doing anything their authors wish, and they will be doing it under the name of the original executable. Fairly undetectable behaviour can result. Your call. |

| | Re: black screen. Safe mode, with those words in the corner should have a few icons, plus Start, Run..... and you can get TM with ctrl-alt-del. Considering the date.. you may have blown up a M$ update or two. Okay, on you way into safe mode did you try system restore? |
| | Pat, post that in the Vista forum. We're all dinosaurs in here. I get the feeling that the HT copy that you have does not like your Vista - a lot of running process information is missing from your log.. but in what i can see there are no problems. |
| | Re: Please Help! Umm.. lessee... fixboot to the best of my knowledge only repairs the actual boot sector code ie the code that gets loaded into memory. I think what you need is bootcfg in Recovery Console. That can be used to detect and build a boot.ini file. A command sequence might be: … |

| | Hello, Sarah... I gotta suggest something good to get hold of those hugs... I'm not thinking it is malware [your log is clean...] but more firewall or modem settings related.

| | Re: Help!! laptop?? I do not know what this driver file, ac7eeycg.sys, is.

| | Hello, B_G, this message is caused by a pgm trying to access incorrect memory addresses, a pretty obvious thing in your case where it tries for 0x00000000. Bad programming is often found in malware, so may I assume that you have been infected by something which cannot even run properly? … |
