Okay. Sorry about the tirade with no applicable
information. One of the things this guy has done due to
frustration or whatever, is somehow configured my OS to
keep reinstalling my GeForce 4 Ti with just the most
rudimentary of drivers each time I reboot. I have to re-
update my video drivers each time I boot just so I can
have a resolution that is above an 8 bit color scheme.
But wait... There's MORE!!!!
 There have also been 4 new accounts added to my system,
but they aren't visible from the login window, nor from
just about anywhere. I only found this out when I was
looking at the permissions of a few registry entries.
   Here's the kicker though; Try as I might, I cannot
delete these accounts. They don't seem to exist anywhere
that I can do something about them. Hell, I can't even
set their permissions to deny all because it just adds a
new copyu of that user to the reg... with the same damn
permissions set!!!
My machine notifies him each time I change a password,
edit permissions, or attempt to disable a couple of his
personal services.
This guy is an artist or something cause he edits .dll
files that he knows I am going to read. I don't think
that there is any .dll file made by MS that specifically
tells "Matthew Weatherman you fartknocker... Just suck it
up and face the fact that there is no security that you
can impliment that will keep me from making your life a
hellish nightmare that even Dante' was incapable of
imagining".
Here's my question.... How do I get my system back under
my control only without formatting my 420gb primary hard
drive? Also, how can I shut down the stream that is
constantly being sent out from my machine, in the
background where it is hardly noticed by my ethernet?
My OS is winXP Home, Pro and Media edition (yes, I have
too many machines to be this stupid about my little
problem.
Sorry for the whining, but this is starting to cut into
my business hours and my company is bleeding itself
slowly of its financial viability....

Thx...
