Close all browser windows including this one only have HJT open place a check mark in the following entries: O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Reader Speed Launch.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\reader_sl.exe O4 - Startup: OpenOffice.org 2.4.lnk = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.4\program\quickstart.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SUPERAntiSpyware] C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SUPERAntiSpyware.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HPHUPD04] "C:\Program Files\HP Photosmart 11\hphinstall\UniPatch\hphupd04.exe" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HPHmon04] C:\WINNT\System32\hphmon04.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe" Click FIXED CHECKED. Reboot Windows. Review the log those entries should be gone, if not run HJT in the Safe Mode. 04 entries start everytime windows starts these entries are unnecessary the rest of the log is good. Again I see no Firewall, usually a firewall would show in the 023 entries like Avast because it runs on windows as a service. Note* Windows 2000 is currently running at Service pack 4, in the very top of the log is the header an shows this Platform: Windows 2000 SP3 (WinNT 5.00.2195) Is windows 2000 still supported with Micorsoft updates I am not sure but I think it is till July 2010 hopefully others can add information. Can you update Internet explore also---> MSIE: Internet Explorer v5.00 SP3 (5.00.2920.0000) This is very old, would IE7 work on 2000 I am not sure perhaps a google search "IE7 on windows 2000" search that maybe. FYI Hijackthis creates backups if any functionally is lost you can restore the entry that was removed by opening HJT and click review list of back ups there you will see all the 04 Entries that were removed and have to option to restore that entry. Never use HJT with out instruction it's advisable to remove the program when finished through the add/remove programs feature.

Hi RC,I've followed this thread from beginning to end and understand what is posted here. What I need to know now is where is this snapshot of the os image stored for future use? Surely it's burned to a dvd,a secondary hd or an external hd, etc. Am I on track so far? Somewhere in the future the original hd crashes, malfunctions or just quits. Do I then physically remove it, set the secondary hd on which exists the snap shot, to primary function, if this be my chosen media, and boot up? If I had chosen to go the dvd route, do I replace the old hd with a new one and use the dvd to install the snap shot image? And in case of an external hd, can it's content incuding the snapshot image be copied over to the new hd? I realize we're covering a lot of ground here and I beg your patience. Please keep it simple as possible. I'd like to get this issue staight in my mind one time. I also understand this can only be done with the original computer the os was installed on. Thanks.

Jess, I would make sure the mapping software you want to use will work on the Zire31. The screen on that model is 160x160 -- not high-resolution -- which either will make maps harder to view or may make it impossible to install the software. You may not know that Pa1mOne just introduced a Tungsten E2. The key improvement over the E is Bluetooth networking built-in. The E2 also can use a Palm card to connect to Wi-Fi networks (the E cannot), but the price of an E2 and the Wi-Fi card is really close to other, better Palms. That aside, unless you know you're ready to use the Bluetooth, I think you'll be happier with a Tungsten E. The E was one of the most popular PDAs Pa1mOne ever made, so there are likely to be numerically-higher numbers of unhappy customers. While the E does not have the Tungsten "universal" connector, it is decently supported with peripherals like keyboards and all kinds of cases and sync cables and such. Finally, one way to try out a Palm without paying top dollar is to look at the Factory Outlet on their Web site. I purchased my Tungsten C open-box and I was hard-pressed to find out why it wasn't considered "new in box" -- at a much lower price than a regular C would cost. Might want to check that out. The link is below. Here is a link that might be useful: Palm Factory Outlet

"Petty-Racer: You seem to have a problem making comparisons with your preferred Honda generators and mine: First, the cost of my two were just under $2000 including the parallel cord. That makes your initial comparison in error my a factor of 22%. Today they can be purchased for significantly less than $2445 each. Have you ever purchased anything using Amazon or ebay where they can currently be purchased for less than $2100 with the parallel cord? You have herd of internet buying before or do you always purchase everything from your local hardware store or Sears???????? As far as fuel efficiency, your own stats prove that the EF4500 uses 3 times (300%) more fuel than the EF2000. Yet, you believe its an even race. Where did you learn your higher 3rd grade math??????? Given the first two comparisons and your gross errors, the other comments/comparisons don't justify consideration. Obviously, I like the generators I own and you appear to like the Hondas. Let's agree not to waste each others time again. If you care to offer positive input as Ronnatalie and weedneister have professionally done I'll consider what you have to say. Have a good day. " MAN you are an arrogant F-, aren't you. LOOK at what I wrote. Don't just glance over it. All the numbers I gave were for BOTH EF2000's. NOT just one. Second, I used Yamaha's list pricing as a guideline. You don't have to be an a$$hole and ask I know what Amazon or Ebay are. Continuing on with exposing your own gross errors, the fuel comparison is .210 to .296, which I acknowledged the 2000's were better. But HOW is this 300%??? Lastly, I NEVER said I had a preference of Honda over Yamaha. I used Yamaha stats since that is what you have/prefer. How about you READ and comprehend what is written, or just ignore me. Either way, why be a douche about it?
