Everything I've read about the nvidia firewall said that it's pretty much a joke, doesn't really protect anything and causes far more problems than what it's worth.

Seagate Pocket Hard Drive - 5GB.

This page still holds the SymNRT utility. Hopefully it won't still break BITS. Though even if it does break BITS, it's nothing that Dial-a-fix v0.60.0.13 (2006-06-27) can't fix.

Kashim, download Dial-a-fix v0.60.0.13 (2006-06-27). Select option 3, WU/WUAU (Option 4, SSL/HTTPS/Cryptography will auto-select along with Programming cores/runtimes) and click GO.

As of this time, there is no SP2 for the x64 series of Windows XP*. *To my knowledge.

They've actually had mods for IPB 1.3 and 2.0 but I've not seen anything for versions after 2.0.

Does WUD detect already installed updates? Also, what information does it transfer?

Welcome to MSFN, enjoy your stay!

Yet you have not named it. Though it has been proven that excessive defragmenting can and will cause issues with your hard drive.

What I meant was what scanning programs you ran on your computer? I generally recommend running Avast and my Anti-Malware Professional package. Glad to hear that you resolved your issue. Did you get to report the bug to MS?

Hi cocoharley; what are all the scans you've run for anti-virus and anti-malware?

I used to have to use my code to convert a special code to auth into a chat server.

If you need a working MD5 module for VB6, you can use this one. I developed it when I was on a Windows ME machine, so it might have some compile errors.
