Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, the problem was with ctpmon.exe, which actually doesn't exist on the system, per se. It appears to be loaded from a prefetch file (CTPMON.EXE-2BFDCA17.pf) in the "C:/Windows/Prefetch" folder. I unchecked the entry using msconfig (i know I could...

After Running HiJackThis, I found the following suspicious entries: Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctpmon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctpmon.exe (Two Instances?) and found this: O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ctpmon] ctpmon.exe I am thinking this may be the spyware. I have run Spybot S&D, Adaware...

I couple of weeks ago I started getting a little shield down at the bottom (by the clock) that says "Your Computer is Infected!". When I click on this, it brings up a box that says "Would you like to update your security software and download Registry Cleaner?" I don't want the "Registry...

My problem ended up being related to a boot sector virus, a very nasty one, and stealthed... I finally had to boot up off of a clean Hard Drive, and simply ran a virus scan on the corrupted disk drive. The main problem I had was I was using the same 98 Boot Diskette to try to install windows 98...

Enkrypted: Thanks for the advice. I'll have to try to get the thing online, which means I will HAVE to take it to my "shop", rather then going to his apartment, as he doesn't have internet connectivity, and I was hoping to simply download the appropriate drivers from here, burn them to disk and...

Edfair: Yes, the IDE controllers are messed up in the device manager (Primary and secondary controllers)... but I can't see how I would fix this... Enkrypted: How would I go about loading up the CD-ROM drivers temporarily from within windows, in order to update everything? -+{John Vogel}+-

While trying to set up windows 98 on an IBM 6549-UN4 machine... I am able to boot from floppy (Windows 98 Startup Disk) go to CD ROM and Setup Windows 98 from the CD, with no problem. However, as soon as Windows 98 Loads for the first time, It asks me for mY Windows 98 Disk, and suddenly the...

I'm trying to programmatically set the screen resolution in VB .net but can't figure it out. I've googled all over the web, scoured the newsgroups, but the only thing I found was a program that supposedly does this, but seems to not work at all in VB.Net... funny thing this program is in most of...

I'm still pretty lost. Here's where I am at, code-wise: Private Sub MainProgram_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'Create the forms as frmsplash and frmmain Dim frmsplash As New SplashForm() Dim frmWizard As New...

The big differance between working with Visual Basic .net and Access is that you can build a stand-alone program with Visual Basic .net, whereas in order to run an Access database you will need to use Microsoft Access or a third party (like VB) in order to access the data. I once built an...

beginnerman, Access is a database environment for designing and working with databases. Visual Basic is a programming environment for writing programs. If you are writing database driven programs, you should check out Visual Basic and Visual C# Concepts Accessing Data -+{John Vogel}+-

Set KeyPreview to True (as Christiaan Baes suggested) In order to capture the arrow keys you'll need to override the ProcessCmdKey function of the form. The Following code will allows you catch any key, and process it. Returns true if processed, otherwise returns false. Protected...

I am using a splash screen with a button on it. When the user presses the button, the splash screen hides itself and shows the main program form. When I close this form, I want to also make sure the hidden splash screen closes. Here is the code I am using to hide the splash form and open form1...

Thanks, I should have known about that focus, I learned that in VB6 :-D Thanks again for the tip, it's working beautifully now. -+{John Vogel}+-

oops, I spoke to soon. It sounded right, though, but it's still not scrolling to the end of the text. -+{John Vogel}+-
