A corrupt game file, eh? Stop formatting your drive, nothing wrong with your OS. The game files are bad, plain and simple. Find a better source. Cheers, Jeremy

The most common thing that happens when someone is unable to access the Internet via IE, is they get the "This page cannot be displayed" message. But since the page is black, and nothing else happens, sounds to me like you may have a browser hijacker or some other sort of spyware, or even a virus. Please run full system scans in Safe Mode with Ad-Aware SE, Spybot S&D, Windows Defender, CWShredder. Run HijackThis and post the log as an attachment to your post. Myself and others are very familiar with Windows files, and combined with easy Googling, spotting anything suspicious in the log won't be difficult. Also, download Kaspersky Anti-Virus, install and update it and do a full scan with it as well. FileMon is also very helpful in pinpointing which files on the harddrive any given program is accessing/being accessed by. Cheers, Jeremy

"LOCALS~1\" refers to the "Local Settings" folder which, the correct path for, is the following: "C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings" Try to recreate the error message and let us know whether it really does say "C:\\E\LOCALS~1\". Also, the "-34", is that included with the error message or did your cat happen to step on the keyboard? Cheers, Jeremy

Ask for a Gmail invite.

I use Dyndns.org

I think IE will eventually be labeled as the worst browser just like WinME is labeled as the worst OS.

@N1K, it makes a difference between testing each stick individually and together.

I've been at this for years and over that time I've wised up about many things. If you want to have great gaming, the answer is not to remove everything with nLite, it's to upgrade your hardware. Take a 300GB drive and make a 300MB file on it. Is your performance going to degrade at all with that 300MB sitting there? Of course not. The same thing goes for 300MBs of Windows files sitting there. Use a good defragmenter (I use Diskeeper since it does it automatically in the background with unused system resources so it doesn't bother your performance). Use CCleaner to clean out junk/cache/temp files. Disable/set to manual the Services you don't need running, as well as your start-up list. If you're gaming, make sure it's the only thing your PC is worrying about when you're doing it. When using nLite, the most space is actually taken up by the Languages section, remove Drivers, Accessories, Languages, Keyboard Layouts, and maybe IE, OE, WMP. Other than that, leave it alone. Cheers.

If you're behind a router and know of the following: Don't open unknown e-mails/attachments Don't surf pr0n/warez with IE Don't download archives/EXEs from p2p programs, if you do, scan them with good anti-virus (Kaspersky, NOD32, AntiVir, www.av-comparatives.org Don't accept everything and anything over MSN Use harddrive imaging software (Ghost, True Image) or Deep Freeze on public workstations then you don't really need a software firewall. Zxian and myself have been without one for a while and no problems.

I'm currently in the middle of comparing pretty much every anti-virus product out there, A-Z. I'm using them 1-by-1 in VMware, taking screenshots of Task Manager (Memory Usage, Peak Memory Usage, Virtual Memory), the number of processes, the Services, the GUIs and options, and finally documentating the filesize of the installation files and then again after the program is installed. I'm going to show all the results on my web blog for which there is a link in my signature. Won't be long yet. I'm just sick and tired and people saying Norton/Symantec rule, when they are totally wrong. The Anti-Spyware portion of McAfee is likely what got rid of your browser hijacker. NOD32 isn't anti-spyware, but anti-virus. As I mentioned in the beginning of my post, Panda does fit in the A-Z category , so yes, I have tried it and have all the screenshots to prove it, soon to come. Norton can detect practically every virus out there, but there are more cons to Norton than pros. It's just too utterly bloated (memory usage, processes, services, GUI excessively large), and it's not very responsive. It's like it's coded entirely in Java, lol. Same here, emodel, but mine's Kaspersky. I know advanced users know what they're doing a lot more than Joe Blows so they don't necessarily need application/registry/code injection monitoring, and everything running in background. I'm doing what I'm doing for the Joe Blows.

Hahahahahahha!!! Cute.

Media Player Classic

By using a better browser.

Or that... lol...

Notice how the filesize gets bigger... and bigger... and bigger...

LOL....

The only reason why M$ made IE7 in the first place was because people demanded them to catch up with Opera and Firefox. IE sucks, always has sucked, always will suck.

Update (or possibly rollback) video drivers. Download and burn Ultimate Boot CD 3.4 to a CD and scan your RAM with Memtest. Download the freeware application CCleaner and clean up your PC.

Go into msconfig and disable all start-up tasks and reboot. Still 100%?

Redo your nLited CD and reformat. Cheers.

Or show her Media Player Classic.

Why do people run anti-spyware programs instead of anti-virus when they have a virus? Wijono, download, install, update and do a full system scan with Kaspersky AntiVirus or NOD32, please. Also, good freeware anti-virus is Avast or AntiVir. Do you scans in safe mode, as well.
