Eclipse

A question about the CD burner I wanna get... The interface is ATAPI/E-IDE. That should work on my PC right? The CDROM already in the system has ATAPI. But wait, isn't the CDROM already taking the second slot on the IDE cable? Does that mean I would have to buy another IDE cable??

Wow, it was just great to be a part of that match. The crowd went crazy for both guys. I loved the oldskool feel to the match. We gave Ric a HUGE round of applause after he was leaving the ring. AWESOME match.

Just doing a favor for a friend here. He has that famous XP worm, which causes the RPC to act up, and shutdown the PC within a certain amount of time. Can someone give me a direct link to where I can get the patch?

Sounds like a good card. This will be the FIRST WWE show I will be going to, and I get to see ALL of the wrestlers I wanted to see!

Well, this should be a simple banner for some of you out there... I am changing my name to Eclipse here soon. Hopefully, the powers that be can do that for me. I wanted a new sig for that name. All I want is like an eerie night sky as the background, and somewhere in that background, you see a moon or sun starting to have an eclipse. On the bottom, put the name Eclipse in some futuristic font, or anything that suits the sig. I appreciate anyone who would be able to do that for me.

Awesome. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Maybe I should go try some of those methods...lmao Wow...you really told him how to burn a CD...

Well, I knew his heel run would be over when he fought Goldberg. And when Rock said surprise the fans, he DID. I really thought Rock was a lost cause. I thought he wouldn't be around from WMXX either. Just seeing return last night brought back huge memories of the Rock n' Sock Connection. Mark out moment for me after seeing them fight La Resistance together.

Well, of course, I forget about CD burning software. I heard it is bundled with CD burners when you buy it. Is that true?

You better check the Hardware Compatibility Lists. I remember not checking it, and I had mad problems with incompatible drivers for the sound or the modem.

Well, I found the discs I need to reformat. Just have to buy the CD burner, and I am set.

Scwhat in ze hail!

You were talking to me? I don't if you were telling that to DrTom or something... I have some other virus now that...NO DOUBT I WILL NEED TO REFORMAT. If I run ANY kind of AV software, the payload is......YOUR HDD IS COMPLETELY DELETED. I lost 2 of the 3 disks I need to factory restore (the 1st disk is an emergency diskette). Someone told me if I contact Compaq or email them or something, they could give me replacement disks. Is that true?

Well, I have to try and get an antivirus program. Me no want reformat....

Hopefully, I get a good experience as well for the show I will be going to. I am headed to the RAW House show at MSG.

If I do reformat....there goes over 400 songs I downloaded, over 50-100 Snes games I have....etc, etc.... I can't even find the disks to restore the system to default. I may even have to FDISK the damn thing. That's if I can. Will reformatting take away the virus?

Well, the slowdown has returned. Even after I deleted cmd32.exe out of the registry, it starts up with the PC, with 2 instances of it.

After renaming it to explorer.exe, the PC is running near normal speed. It still says 100%, but when I click Refresh Now, it goes down between to 16%-96%. I ran HijackTHIS, but for some reason, it won't list the the running processes just like it did the last time. Why is it doing that? I can't delete the Lexmark services. I also took out cmd32.exe out of the registry as well. It won't find that directory that has NSCheck.exe/uninstall. It says folder was moved or removed.

This is what HijackTHIS found...

Well, I have tried everything....EVERYTHING. I downloaded tools that have the virus defintions of the virus that I have. Everything gets worse. Now, I have a process called cmd32.exe, which is ANOTHER worm in the system. I can't even manage through the PC with this slowdown. I think I may have to reformat. Now, if I am reformat, it will go to factory settings. Does that mean that Windows ME (which was in the system when I got it) will be restored? At this point, with all the problems I have been having with stuff in Win2K, I regret updating to Win2k. Of course, I know reformatting will get rid of the worms and viruses.

Is it anywhere near done?

At the point that virus was all over, I had Windows ME. And plus, this virus just recently got into the PC. because that svchost32 file appeared a few days ago. I have like 3-4 svchosts running, and I know that one of them is part of the virus. It hides itself under the name. Also, I can't afford to reformat, since I have no CD burner to backup any data. I have no money to even upgrade this PC for shit. I have been begging to get a new PC for a while. Oh, don't worry about credit card purchases. I don't do online purchases.

Ok, for some weird reason, it can't recognize Remote Procedure Call as a service. I know it's there, because when I type in services.msc to view the services, it lists RPC, and RPC locator. Why won't it recognize it? That is part of getting this worm out, and it won't work. Plus, I went to the places in the registry where it tells you to delete those entrys, and NONE of them even exist, when it should be since the worm makes those entries.

http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyc...WORM_RALEKA.GEN It seems that the svchosts32.exe file is part of this worm. But, I need like a second opinion of this. Also, I am doing that command prompt, but it shows drive D, which is just a partition of my main drive. How can switch that to drive C? I tried typing C:\ but it won't change it.

Well, I scanned with SpyBot, and Ad-Aware and the same spyware pops up. Usually consists of cookies and more cookies. Well, that hasn't fixed my problem. Also, I wanted to check for viruses, but I have no virus scanner. The McAfee one I had with the PC was outdated. I deleted it. Since then, I have no virus scan. Are there any online scanners out there? Also, are there any sites with definitions on files running during the time I have the PC on? I have NEVER seen that svchosts32.exe file I mentioned. Also, why are so many svchost.exe instances running?
