I'll suck your toes for a week if you help me!

That sounds alot like it would have been achieved through a
trojan horse.

but that would just be speculation on my part.

temp fix..

in your control panel, go to administrative tools then to
components services. then under the folder on the left you
will see something that says Services ( local )

then on the right hand side scroll down to the "remote
procedure call" highlight it right click and go to
properties, then you can choose what happens when your rpc
has a problem. it is automatically set to reboot in 30
seconds or something, but u can set it to do nothing or to
run a program or a command line .

are you running any p2p file sharing pgms?

do a virus scan as soon as you are operational..

you've probably got a trojan worm. the same shit happened to
my comp almost a year ago.

get norton anti-virus and clean that shit up.
Or, look for a file like this:
"SOFUNNY.EXE" or "msdos34"

actually i'm not completely sure on the msdos one - i know
it starts with msdos because it's disguised as a system
file, but it isn't. it definitely ends with a two-digit
number.

For me it all started with tftp.exe trying to connect to the
internet. I blocked and all hell broke loose getting hte
same as Jar. Restarted and allowed it then msblast,exe tried
to connect. Same problem. I searched for the files and
msblast.exe was made today.

Windows XP 32 bit Edition

thats the only thing winMe has going for it. It never seems
to have these strange security holes. Proly because no one
wants to fuck up computers running winME because they feel
sorry for people who use it. that and winME is plenty
fucked up without any outside help.

I've never gotten windows' security patches, and my computer
has never been killed by any such thing. And just get
symantec ghost, do a clean install with all your needed
programs and then make a ghost image. Now I just have to
install one things rather than 5 million things.

again, i would recommend that you download the

floppys), and boot with it. Don't know if it will fix it,
but i have seen it deal with worse problems. If it still
fucks up, try the Windows XP rebiuld-thingy on the Windows
