I'm going with the fresh install because my XP CD is only SP1, plus the drive has some bad blocks on it, so I'm swapping it out for a better one. At some point, I agree that it does get easier to just admit defeat and wipe the system. At least then you know whatever was there is gone for sure. It belongs to a friend so he's the one that will have to reload his apps, too.

Thanks,
Dave

I'm about ready to admit defeat and try that. It was installed as SP1 then upgraded. I'll look to see if I can find an SP3 CD.

Best I can tell, it's mainly a DNS problem. I can put in google's IP address and the page will load. But as you've seen, there are other more subtle problems. The desktop will sort it's icons every time I'm not looking.

Thanks for your help,
Dave

Shane,

I ran it under safe mode. It was hard to tell exactly what was working and what was not. Of course, I didn't see any of the Execute Processes Remotely errors. Bottom line is I still have no network connectivity, though.

Looks like you have the framework of a handy tool for a lot of situations and you're growing it into a more useful tool. I've bookmarked it for something to look at when I need help again.

Thanks,
Dave

Shane,

Any way I can manually apply the changes?

Wait, I re-read and am trying safe mode...stay tuned for results.

Shane,

Trying to run Windows Repair 1.9.0.12 from tweaking.com folder on the desktop and running into this error. Sounds the same as in http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,119.0.html, but I don't have the extraordinary circumstances that the other poster had. What I do have is I'm trying to recover from an unknown virus and/or trojan infection and have no internet connectivity. Any suggested workarounds?

Thanks,
Dave
