Smookin Joe's Introduction

Smookin Joe · 12-10-2005, 01:21 PM

You heard the old saying "Which is the any key?"
Where is the Introduction Forum.

Oh Hello!

Many things have happened to me of late. None of which I would say was terribly productive.

Computers yep got a few of them.

Aches and pains lots of those.

Obligations and responsibilities OH YEAH.

Dreams turning into reality.....nightmares mostly.

I think I am an optimist caught in a pessimists body.

Again Hello everyone please try and go easy on me as I have this foolish idea I can do anything....given enough time.

Speaking of time I must go now but I do hope the future will be a good experience for all.
Joe

Hangingout here is sometimes a good diversion. I use it myself.

Thanks for pointing out the "any key" for me and Thanks to whoever moved my Introduction. Complex person struggling with simple tasks.
Thanks again.

Don't feel bad, I taught a mod about using the Quick Reply Button (the one next to the QUOTE button at the lower right-hand of the post box)

And hi there!

Thank you
I had difficult situation the other day. I was trying to remove some program called Instant Access, from a tenants computer. I could find it in the System Information but it was IMPOSSIBLE to find it in the registry. All searches for the file/program or parts there-of brought no results (in the registry). Norton or Windows regedit.exe nodda thing. Went so far as to search for other programs that were loaded per-user run (possibly they would be side by side in the same folder). Nothing was coming up.
No problem finding the file but I had (boot) to dos with my old Norton Commander to remove it.
On rebootup...
Error Rundle32.exe can't find file p2esocks_1043.dll.
Some success in that it doesn't load anymore but still annoying.
Then I had a thought (This is over a 3-4 day period of a few hours each day)
What if I didn't acknowledge the Error message. I ran both Norton and regedit continuously/concurrently and while searching for anything remotely similar....they all appeared in the search. Everything from the Run folder showed up.
Why didn't this happen the first time I searched?
How can I make sure that this type of thing never happens again? (false results) Life is way to short!
I use adaware/norton utilities/spyware doctor and none of these could clean it by itself.
Well the wife just called me to supper and I can't miss Corner Gas so I just thought I would send you a quick response.
See Ya and thanks for the welcome.
Joe
