Well no, that is just two of the entries that I disabled. I was kinda thinking that stopping the Nvidia extension had something to do with losing the pic, but I don't really think so,,,,,,,,,,,, I just read MS's reply today and, jeez, now they want me to DISABLE all things in my Device Manager :!: :icon_scratch: Except the system devices. Are they reaching hear : Have you ever done anything like that before : BTW: the more I think about it, the more silly it sounds that a video card would be responsible for losing a pic. I mean, it's in charge of all things video(quality,resolution,etc.) but not in charge of storing pics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yes the whole mary ann. That's what started all this. There were only about 6 ext's that I disabled. Apparently that's all it took. Thank goodness I don't have to cut wood myself, just take it from the "raw" state and then make it real pretty. I also do all of the repairs, touch up, to all the yachts after their finished. Lots of work, that's why I am tired tonight BTW- two of those ext's were Nvidia :!: Hummmmmmmmmm : And, of course, none of them were MS

cak 46, I will do minor repairs on my '84 Blazer, but thru the years, I've pretty much "burned out" on the whole scenario. I used to live and breathe cars, even raced a few 1/4 milers in the 80's, did a few custom paint jobs-6 years in the auto-body world, etc. BUT now I just make Cherry and Madrone Burl look beautiful, ie: interior finish. I work for the # 1 yacht building company in the US. We are # 7 in the world :!: My most memorable experience was when after I got hired I got to work on Johnny Carson's yacht :!: The "Serenghetti" He took delivery in March, 2002, and as far as I ever heard, he loved it!! Unfortunately, he didn't get to enjoy it for too long. :(

HI there cak46. Sounds like you have an interesting job. Usually if I'm working on the front end of something it's a vehicle Well, no news today from MS but I did send the info they wanted. Now tonight I will send them a note trying to explain what happened with all my pics in My Pictures folder :!: You know, awhile back I must have unwittingly deleted ALL "front of house pics" from my pics folder cause otherwise it wouldn't dissappear like that out of thin air : The other pics are 100% complete. I'm good with all of this but I wish I could delete those pics from the display props/desktop section just to get rid of them :-|

Hi Alex: I'd almost forgotten about this speed thing I was going thru since my Lsass.exe problem on June 11. That's where all my energies have been for several days now with Cholla and cak46 helping along the way. Haven't found a fix yet. The posts are on this site under Lsass.exe, last post last night-so far about eight pages worth :!: :!: We just can't seem to get to the root of it, but somewhere out there is a fix :!:

OK yak

not there, just the generic stuff,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Do NOT try this :!: :!: I just deleted about six non MS listings and it completely blew away my desktop pic!!!!!!!. and it's gone from the choices in my display props!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It also ADDED all OTHER pics from my

I sent a message on the 21st. Maybe it didn't get there. I'll send it now. hope you get it-Dave HI Wayne. Well, the clean boot came up with the error. Now, here's where it gets a little interesting. Safe Mode (today) did not produce the error BUT last week when I ran a full system virus scan, it did!! Hmm, and with Paul Ramsey's fix he even tells you that "when you get the error go ahead and wait 5 or 10 minutes and then click OK to get rid of it" Well both times that I ran this "fix" the error never came up!! (this is in safe mode with comnmand prompt) Now today when I first booted up the error never showed up until I started clicking on stuff. Before it always came up with the startup process but now it's waiting untill I click on something. This is really getting puzzeling. I also tried to capture a screen shot of the task manager processes in safe mode to send to you but when I went to copy and paste into this mail the pic was blank!! Everything looked normal, though. Well that's it for now, what a mess. I do not think it is a virus at all, I think it is a real live system error. Any ideas? Dave

OK Dude!! Understood. I have to process and order/product I just sold on Ebay. Auction closed at 6:00 and the guy paid already :!: Cheers

Yes as far as I know, it does not run in the background, it's a manual thing, but I'll make sure

Hey cak46. I just got back from safe mode, added a password under Administrator and just for kicks I ran stinger /no results.BTW, I have never had to click on either choice when going to safe mode until I added Pro. It always just went right to safe mode. I will now check out those links you posted,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

HI guys :!: Hey cak46, I did do a couple things to no avail. I noticed that although I had Windows Update turned off that it was still listed as auto in the services/changed to manual/no results. Also, whenever I start TUT UltimateTroubleshooter I get a bright red warning that"Microsoft Windows Scripting Host not found. Hardware info will be limited in it's scope". I did also find some interesting items concerning SilentHunter III still in my system like a complete "Windows Installer Pakage" INSIDE my Postal 2 game folder :!: I also went to my registry and got rid of all things SilentHunter. Today I also decided to run Paul Ramsey's fix one more time and when I got into " safe mode with command Prompt" a screen came up with 2 choices-click on Administrator or Martine ( which of course, both are me) to get in. I have also checked "permissions" in the reg editor and I'm listed as "Administrators( Dave/Administrators)" and" "Martine( DAVE/Martine)" as having full control. I don't know why there are two like that. Also below these two entries are two other ones titled "Restricted" and "System". That's about it for now. : edit: Whoa, I just noticed something. You want me to go into safe mode and add a password (create a password) in my Administrator account? Does this mean I would have to log in every time I boot up? : Cause I can if that would help

HA :haha: That explains why I just saw a news flash on TV that the east coast was running low on beer and there was a appeal to all western cities to ship some of their suds in that direction :twisted: Anyhow, I did not put in a password when XP was installed. I actually paid a guy (shop) to put in Home cause it would not go in for me :cry: Then when I put in Pro I didn't put one in either/ just now I checked user accts again and when I clicked on me, administrator, one of my choices to do was to "create a password" not "change my password". I will check it out tomorrow when I boot up in safe mode. But for now, I have to sign off, I have a really bad headache, damndest thing, I only get them on the weekends!!!!!!!!! Bad puter chair maybe. Thank you so much, will yak again-Cheers-Dave :wave:

I have a strange feeling that it is something that doesn't exist :(

In the control panel/user accounts, it shows me only as the Administrator if that's where you mean
