Hey SSJ! We must have posted at about the same time! And yup, you were right about the re-installing of windows! (This being the edited section of my post...) FORMAT is a #### scary word when you have various assignments on your computer tho! Ok, here is the unedited stuff now...:
Ahhh, I came home (after uni - I sent all the above from uni) and just re-installed Windows. Then I re-installed my cable drivers.
It was all good.
The problem, I suspect, was a certain ad-aware product, or a certain registry editor I downloaded from donwloads.com - seems one of them over-zealously deleted my cable dll files... don't know why, but there you are...
But thanks anyway!
NEXT: Hey, I have the much-revered (by me, anyway) TDS-3 Anti Trojan Horse program running. On a full scan, it found out that there was a *very* suspicious (at least, by its standards) file called msn50.exe
This being located in my program files/online services/MSN50 directory. I'm sort of hesitant to delete ANYTHING with the msn name attached... but I'm too scared to open it!
So i renamed it msn50.ttt for some reason, and moved it. Any ideas if this msn50 file is evil?
Oh! By the way, if any of you have cable, are running windows, and ever get an error popup about once a second babbling about some file called shallapi.exe - well, that's a trojan. Get the afore-mentioned tds-3 anti torjan program, and it will zap it. Then delete all references to it in your msconifg - startup section. (msconifg founr by running msconfig in, ahh, run).
Again, I know, this has about all there is to do with streetfighter as, say, Sonic the hedgehog, but, uhmmm, I'm... a... uh, cronic spammer? Yeah! That's it, a cronic spammer!
Anyways, cheers tmyapp, and ciao the rest of ya!
And thanks for the post too, SSJ! (Yes, this is also an edited section)
