Re: Funky machine

You seem to have multiple issues that could be a result of multiple malware
infections. I suggest that you have your data files backed up and files
encrypted with EFS encrypted first and then have a clean install of the
operating system done. It probably would be a good idea to document current
cmos settings for the motherboard and then choose default settings before
installing the new operating system. Steps in the link below need to be
taken to minimize chances of future operating system problems. --- Steve

Limited login odd will be locked out for logs full, let it run for a bit

"Setup was unable to open information file hidei with carrot top BOX BOX
Contact your system administrator. The specific error code is 0x7b at line
2088999411."

System will not load Xp without hardware failure unless:
Network present at boot
All BIOS enabled.
Specific failures relate to BIOS Shadowing & ACPI
Resetting, changing every insanely possible piece of hardware fails but
put
on network loads mostly cleanly.

Stopping IM messenger for one boot, lost video card and dual boot causing
a
shop repair to fix.
