Crash Override Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi Scott, mine does the same thing from time to time it is normally if there is a program still running and hasn't fully been shut down, nothing serious. I think this is what you were getting at? I wait to be proven wrong. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Take a note of what the program(me) is called. Put the name exactly as it appears, into Google. You'll find a fix for it in no time, I'm sure...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhawkins Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I should have said that your advice was right, wasn't implying that it wasn't. Having failed to help out Rob with his 'puter, I think I'll pass on advising people about them for a while Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Tell you what, I'll do 'puter stuff, you can do techie stuff. I'll bet within a week, half the Westfields will be off the road, and none of them will be able to find out why, 'cos their computers won't work........ Still, at least it'll be nice and quiet....

Blatman Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Download and run Spybot. That'll sort 'em..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Sounds like you've got some SpyWare in there...download AdAware (there's a free version) and see what that finds. There's another one too, can't remember the name of it. Maybe my deputy can remember? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
