And now my internet explorer freezes every time i try to load a page on it...i am getting a ton of popups and im getting tired of my computer hating me...im running windows 98 se and i hope to get some help real soon..

i just reinstalled my windows 98 se...like 1 month ago...and i think i have plenty of space...but what am i suposed to do...i have no idea how to fix this...please help

First check the Microsoft site, copy and paste just the beginning of the error and paste it under search or just type in errors. If that doesn't help you may reinstall 98se overtop of your existing 98se. It will not effect anything, just overwrite any problems that it may have.

well...thx for your help..im going to check microsoft and if that doesnt help i will have to get my win98se disk from my other house =( i wish my computer would quit crashing...i cant even play runescape (lol this is a huge waste of time but i have fun)

could this possibly be a trojan or a virus???

could my problems with the calc and packager be trojan or virus caused???

If you're getting a lot of pop-ups when you're visiting pages that shouldn't have any, it may very well be a browser hijacker. You could try scanning with adAware or SpyBot or preferably both.

i would suggest moving away from windows 98 if you can. they had problems with buffer overflow.

i run both adaware and spybot...i havent ran adaware recently though..ill try that...

viruses can be spread by .jpeg files and cause a buffer overflow, although that may be only the case for XP SP 1, not sure about 98.

ok...i have a list of things that open on startup of my comp and they are as fallows...:
ATi launchpad
Gadwin PrintScreen 2.6
ScanRegistry
TaskMonitor
SystemTray
LoadPowerProfile
HydraVisionDesktopManager
AtiPTA
Windows AdService
systray
rkbhym
FARMMEXT
sp
LoadPowerProfile
SchedulingAgent
QuickSpell
WinZip Quick Pick

Is there a problem with any of these and if so...how do i fix them?? I am also showing 454 prosses modules...is that more than it should be???

i think adaware might have fixed it...i stopped getting the calc message after i ran it and i will update this post if I continue to have problems...Thanks so much for your help! wait...nevermind...i am still having problems with internet explorer...here is the details from the illegal opperation in internet exploer that leads to a close.EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault inmodule MSVCRT.DLL at 0177:780154a7.Registers:EAX=7803a152 CS=0177 EIP=780154a7 EFLGS=00010246EBX=00000010 SS=017f ESP=03f7df0c EBP=03f7df1cECX=0000c480 DS=017f ESI=70bfc480 FS=4307EDX=0fffffff ES=017f EDI=03f7df56 GS=0000Bytes at CS:EIP:66 8b 04 48 a8 04 74 5b 83 c1 d0 3b cb 73 7b 83 Stack dump:03f7dfc0 70bff336 00000000 00000000 03f7df78 7801540c 03f7df54 00000000 0000000f 00000000 70dd5aa1 03f7df54 00000000 00000010 00000001 70dd5c08

About startups, I strongly recommend http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm.FARMMEXT is listed as "Transponder parasite updater/installer" - something you shouldn't have, and that does indeed create pop-ups.rkbhym is unknown. Some trojans create random names - this may be one of them.sp is an Internet Explorer search hijacker that changes the default search to another site you didn't want.Windows AdService is described as a "Windupdates adware variant".You've certainly got a lot of spyware/adware on your machine. Update your AdAware and SpyBot and run them again.

ok...do you know the default place windows puts screen shots???i want to post one up here for you...it is called a.exe and i use end-it-all and after it closes it...it just starts a.exe back up... here is the info on a.exeType: ApplicationLocation: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEMSize: 40.0KB (40,960 bytes), 65,536 bytes usedCreated: sunday, February 06, 2005 12:37:59 PMAccessed: Tuesday, February 22, 2005It is not archived...but i cant seem to close it is this suposed to be here???

Here is what you do. Uninstall any program from the add\remove program that you did not install. If you can go on Internet Explorer for a while without problems, then do a search for Spy Cleaner Gold AND Counterspy. They both have a free 15 day free trial. It definatly sounds like a hijacker. Spybot is O.K. but never seems to permantly get rid of anything. Run Spy Cleaner and Counterspy back to back. Check the list when it's done, they will give you some info on the hijacker or trojan. Be carefull to remove only things that you know are not part of a usefull program.If you can't get on the net, run Spybot and Ad-Aware in safe mode (F8 at restart) and write down the problems at the end of the test including sub-names. And get rid of everything that the tests bring up.If that does not work fully, then it's registry time. Warning only do this if you are familiar with it. Back it up. Now do a search for the stubborn program name or anything that does not go away with Spybot or Ad-Aware. They are often found somewhere in Windows. Delete any references to the nasty program. Only do this if you know what your doing.Restart computer and you will probally have to reinstall Windows98, so be ready with the CD.I'm almost certain that this will help you, if it doesn't, you can go to [url=http://www.pcsupportforums.com]web page. It is free to register and they will have way more knowledge than I do.

#1 Stop using Internet Explorer to surf the web. I use Mozilla. It's much more stable and helps reduce adware, spyware, and viruses. Click the link and you'll start downloading it.http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.5/mozilla-win32-1.7.5-installer.exe#2 Make sure you have Ad-Aware SE and it's updated. Run that and restart.#3 Run any virus scan software you've got.#4 Do a system repair. Boot off of the OS cd and choose the repair option.#5 If you've still got problems, try downloading a program called regcleaner. It's just a simplified interface for managing your registry. Delete anything you know doesn't belong there.If you're still having problems, I would just reload the machine.

ok...but what is a.exe and btw i am already using mozilla but the plugin doesnt work for the game i want to play.

A program. An "executable" file.
