|
Answer» Hi all. ...After the format and reloading Windows XP... With SP2 and all the subsequent security updates? when you reloaded winxp........was it connected to the net at time,if so you may have wasted your time.No, I can't use SP2 for some reason my disc is corrupt! It IS a borrowed copy! Would a new copy of SP2 loaded on fix it? And no Merlin, I wasn't connected to the web when I reloaded XP. But thats a good point for other users! I use dial-up to connect to the net, and I am not connected continually. When I reloaded windows I was not connected. I was careful to reload my antivirus prog, with new definitions, and anti spyware progs, then do scans, before getting on the net. The scans all came up clean. I'm running XP 2002 version 5.1 and I have an intel celeron chip 1100mhz. I have no service packs, as the SP2 I 'sourced' could not be installed, something to do with the reg key! (oops) I usually cope allright with my 1100 and 192mb of ram. The problem is not immediate, but happens within an hour or less of internet connection. My Hijackthis log is below. Thanks again for your reply, and I look forward to hearing what you think could be the problem!
