midi playing problem

[Zenskas]

Just wanted to get back to you on the MIDI issue. The MIDI files ended up playing good but just today (or yesterday) I found an odd .exe file in Autoruns which is being launched at startup. No matter what programs I used to try to get rid of it (Spybot S&D, malwarebytes, spyware doctor) it just got worse to the point my VGA drivers stopped working at startup and then my mouse and keyboard were not detected. Looks like I will be making a new install disk and reformatting after all and won't remove the MIDI support this time

The PC that was infected had not even been on the internet, but at the same time it had no post-SP3 updates applies and no anti-virus program on it. I think I got it at a small gaming session with some friends over a LAN as I know one of my friends would have to have an infected PC by now as he is on the net with just SP2 (and no updates as far as I know) and no anti-badstuff/security sense. Oh well I gotta go make another OS disk now but thanks for the help -X-.
