Re: Funky machine

I meant to say that any EFS encrypted files should be decrypted before an
new install of the operating system to insure the user can access them in
the new operating system. --- Steve

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. ---

Start|Control Panel| etc to Event Viewer |Security
"Unable to complete the operation on "Security". A required privledge is

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

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.
