Does anyone know what it means when you can't upload or download from a particular site? It's one of those flash sites, and when I click on an upload button nothing happens. When I click on a download button nothing happens. For everyone else it works just fine, so it must be something wrong on my end.

Ok, I found the name of the malware, its "extended engine malware".


Thanks Karuuna, I will see if I can find something. Do you recommend any thing?

Has anyone heard of "RegCure"? It's the only rundll32.exe fix I can find, and they want $29.95 for the program. KTBB won't let me get it unless I find if it's good and we can use it on all our 'puters. I have 1000 problems on my rundll32.exe. YIKES!!!

Hi everyone. Now we have a new problem with Grumpy's computer. Now we can't even boot it up. We are getting a fatal system error c000021c. I have googled it but all the info is way over my head. I can't even get the comp to boot up in safe mode. At this point I would feel lucky if we could just restore it, but I can't even figure out how to do that without windows booting up. I would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this. Thanks in advance.

Color, do a screenprint (usually function/scr print buttons at the same time). I then paste them onto a Powerpoint slide, then crop them. Then, when you right mouse click, you can "save image as picture" and save it as a JPEG (have to change it, as it defaults to something different). You don't save the actual Powerpoint slide this way, just the individual picture.

This may work the same way when you paste into Word, I just always go through Powerpoint.

Thanks, Huk. It's OK as is. I don't have Powerpoint.

ktbb, I'd strongly suggest you get professional help. If you Email me, I'll recommend someone from my area.

Ktbb/Grumpy, can you boot the computer with the orginal disks that came with it? Maybe you can just do an entire system "do-over"

Huk & Karuuna, hi . No We tried to insert the disk that came with the computer and still absolutely nothing. It wont read anything now. We took it to Best Buy cuz its still under warranty there,and the Geek there said that he acould not even find the hard drive. So now I'm waiting for them to run a full diagnostics check so they can tell me whether or not the hard drive crashed. Poor me, now I'm computerless for awhile. (but I can borrow KTBB's).


Karuuna, Ive been tellling KTBB that she needs professional help for 10 years, but she doesnt listen to me. Ha ha

Now Grumpy, seeing as its your computer that needs the fixin', wouldn't that mean you are the one who needs professional help?

Make you at least let KTBB use her computer long enough to get her football picks in!!

Well, Whoami, seeing how Karuuna and I agree that KTBB is the one that needs the professional help, no to your question. Although, me without my Jiminey Cricket (thats what I named my puter) I may go INSANE!!!! But actually, I am really enjoying my KTBB's company without my J.C.

Look she gave me my comp back for a little while. I only had to wait an hour for her to be "done".
I'm not even touching the rest.

Firefox question here:

Now that I've switched to Mozilla Firefox, I can't find the spellcheck icon/thingie on the Firefox menu bar. (I always had one with Internet Explorer menu bar.) IF there isn't one, can it be imported... cut and paste, or whatever, onto the menubar?

Also I've heard that there is a spell-check thingie at the Clubhouse. If so, where would I access THAT?

to set spell check in TVCH you need to open your profile, scroll down to preferences and check off the box that says Spell Check My Posts.

don't know about Firefox.

Thanks Aurora, much appreciated for the heads-up on how to set up the TVCH spell check! :-)

But I still hope someone can also help me get Spell Check working in Mozilla Firefox...

Mame, not sure for you, but in my Mac version, you would go to Preferences: Advanced: General.

In that window there is an option to "check my spelling as I type". Love it!

Kar, I found it thanks to your advice, and strangely, it's ALREADY enabled, I'm wondering WHY it doesn't work, if it's enabled?

On my PC, we found it in Tools/Options/Advanced on the menu bar.

I found some instructions in the Firefox help menu. I'll see if we can figure it out. (Luckilly my computer guru Bob is here, and so I'm not going it alone. Phew. It's just that he's not as up to speed on Firefox as he is on IE.) The instructions are saying something about having to possibly dl a dictionary.

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+spell+checker

Firefox automatically checks the spelling of words that you enter in text boxes containing more than one line. As soon as you finish typing a word, it is checked against the words in the installed dictionary. If the word is not found in the dictionary, it will be underlined in red.

The geek squad guys at best buy say that I somehow lost, deleted, or something my Windows!! They say that they need the restore disk to fix it. I asked them how much longer after they get the disk would it be. They said a few more days, cuz it is real difficult sometimes with gateway to try to find all the files and such. Is this true? Does anyone know how to re install Windows on a computer that has "lost" it?

I'm wondering if anyone has come across this problem. I am running XP home edition and when attempting to install Service Pack 2 I get the following error message:

C:\windows\system32\ftp.exe is open or in use by another application.

This has been happening for some time, but of late I've had quite a bit of malware coming on my computer and removing it has become a daily ritual.

I've done some searches (was surprised how many have had this problem) and have come across some solutions however one will say to do one thing and then next site will say... do not do the same thing listed as a solution on the other site... which makes me a little nervous.

Just thought I'd check to see if anyone has come across this?
