When using WGET command line utility to download a file using HTTP from a website, this works ok, but when i go to delete the file later, I am unable to.
The only way that Windows XP Professional Upgrade CD is going to help 'fix' anything on your PC is if you use it to perform a format and clean installation of Windows XP on your system, and that would mean wiping off all your installed programs and stored data files!
I would tend to agree with Catweazle on this, sounds like a fresh install from scratch may be the best option. Have you got anything attached like a CD burner or USB memory stick so you can backup your documents/files etc?
The only sensible option I would assume, is to update your drivers and your anti virus software and also patch your OS with Windows Update. A more recent Virus you may have seen in the news is the Sasser Virus, which will reboot your PC. Install Ad-aware to scan for Spyware etc.
When I worked for a computer graphics firm many years ago, I discovered that you can get a nasty shock from a thermal hard-copy unit when disconnected from the mains power. Some kind of residual power remained within the power-supply. Similar to getting a shock from the coil on a car. There is supposed to be something built-in these days which draws off the residual power, perhaps this isnt working.
"setup could not verify integrity of update inf. make sure cryptographic system is operating on this computer" is the message i get when trying to install either of the patches. man im at a lost as to what to do now.
I stumbled accross your site over a week ago while looking for patches/fixes and was immediately hooked. What can I say, but excellent ! Many thanks for setting this up and I wish you well.

I agree this is a sound thing to do before you get infected, but if you are already infected, you may need to get this download which will help you dissinfect:-
From the Tools menu, select 'Internet Options' click on the 'advanced' tab make sure there is a ticked box next to 'Show Pictures' it's under the multimedia section.
To tell you the truth, I feel a little ashamed of my last comment, perhaps in the light of things, I will consider the younger audience.
How many times do you walk down the street and hear some 10 year old sprouting out expletives all over the place. It's not nice, so I've decided not to add to the problem.

I hope this helps, according to Microsoft, the minimum requirements for Windows 2000 Pro are as follows:-
Minimum Requirements Computer/Processor 133 MHz or higher Pentium-compatible CPU. Memory At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM; more memory generally improves responsiveness. Hard Disk 2 GB with 650 MB free space. CPU Support Windows 2000 Professional supports single and dual CPU systems. Drive CD-ROM or DVD drive. Display VGA or higher resolution monitor. Keyboard Required.
Do the Hard disks on these PC's have enough capacity to hold the Operating System?
You could also right mouse-click on 'My Computer' icon and go MANAGE then select EVENTVIEWER. The following logs can be displayed (works in WinXP,Win2000):-
I just purchased a old Goverment Compaq notebook with WIN 2000, and when I power it up I have the user password screen pop up. How can I bypass this because I dont know the password to login. :rolleyes:
Quarantine just puts them aside for analysis later, dont bother, just tick the lot and click next. When you are asked if you want to remove them, click OK.
