Did you run full scans with MBAM and SAS? Those file names are evidence of a infection which may have already been removed or perhaps a faulty installation sometime prior. The specific one you mentioned gets hits as malicious on some sites. Sometimes...

In reality, if you let Windows assign letters automatically that practice goes back at least twice that far!

No, that's highly unlikely But there must be benefits that XP Pro would provide. That's also highly unlikely. Are you aware that XP Home and Professional are identical except that Professional includes a few features (mostly related to security and networking) missing from Home? Most...

"kathie" wrote in message ... My XP Pro system won't boot after I installed some applications. It won't boot to safe mode. (After the Windows boot screen it shows a "DOS" list of dll files in System32 and the system hangs there.) I heard of various methods to recover XP Pro but I don't want to lose data or applications. What's the best approach to take? You can save your data, using the...

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- 1. View -- Arrange Icons by - Name PLUS 2. View -- Arrange Icons by - Show in Groups Bernd You first have to go to VIEW and choose Icons rather than List.
