Pentium III with Windows ME with Adaware, Spybot and CA AntiVirus up to date. Connected to internet via DLink router & cable modem.

Problem is mostly after computer sits idle for a while. Out pops a large white message box (3" x 5") with nothing on it except an OK button. If you press the button, window goes away and everything is seemingly OK, except computer won't go on the internet and Windows explorer does not work well. Computer responds to shutdown and restart and works normally until this happens again sometimes within minutes or new few hours. Strangely, the problem has not happenned while the computer is being used.

What might this be.. O wise one!

Hey Uno

It looks like the log i fixed. Just to be sure, please post a logfile -

Download:
Hijackthis

Please make a new folder to put your HijackThis.exe into

Click My Computer, then C:\
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis".

Now you have C:\HJT\folder.

Run Hijackthis exe- Push - Do a systemscan and save a logfile – button

And Highlight the Entire Log by pressing Ctrl+A and Copy it. Post log here

Regards - Touch

Thanks Touch for looking at this. I know now that you will get fixed.

Actually the Empty Message box has a "Close" button (not a "OK" button) ... The rest of what I described is accurate.

Run Hijackthis and place a check beside each of the following. Close all other browser windows except HJT.
Click fix checked.

O4 - Startup: PowerReg SchedulerV2.exe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following are not spyware/malware, but I suggest you place a check mark next to the following entries, as these programs may be taking up system resources.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HPHUPD04] \"C:\Program Files\HP Photosmart 11\hphinstall\UniPatch\hphupd04.exe\"
(Description: HP software update checker and wizard launcher.)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadQM] loadqm.exe
(Description: This is the Microsoft MSN Queue Manager. There is disagreement over whether it is spying on you or not. Nevertheless, we suggest you check this entry and remove it. Removing this entry will free up some system resources

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TotalRecorderScheduler] \"C:\Program Files\HighCriteria\TotalRecorder\TotRecSched.exe\"
(Description: Total Recorder scheduler. If you schedule recorcings with Total Recorder, leave this entry. Otherwise, remove it. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources.)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] \"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe\" -osboot
(Description: RealPlayer scheduler. Completely unnecessary. Removing this entry will free up a small amount of system resources.)

O4 - Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE
(Description: Microsoft Office Startup Assistant. This program loads some Microsoft Office components into memory, even if you're not currently using MS Office. Removing this unnecessary program will free up a considerable amount of system resources. )

O4 - Startup: EPSON Status Monitor 3 Environment Check 2.lnk = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\E_SRCV02.EXE
(Description: EPSON Status Monitor 3 is a utility program that monitors your printer and gives you information about its current status, including the amount of remaining toner. If a print error occurs, the Status Monitor also provides you with a message describing the error !! Could it be this?. You can access EPSON Status Monitor 3 from your printer driver. Removing this will free up some system resources.)

Reboot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded.

Delete the following files or folders (delete item in bold). Please do not be concerned if
any of the items are not found as they may have been automatically removed by actions I had
you take earlier in the cleaning process.

Open Folder Options in Controlpanel >view and check your settings:
Select
Show hidden files and folders
Display the contents of system folders
Uncheck: Hide protected operating system files

Delete:

Files:

Folders:

Next go to Start- Search and scrolldown using the scroll bar on the right. Go down to More advanced options and click.
Be sure the first three boxes are selected:
Search System folders
Search Hidden Files and folders
Search SubFolders

And delete:
PowerReg SchedulerV2.exe

Reboot, if you still have popups, rightclick on it, see if there are any properties

I don´t need more logs

Thanks Touch. I will go through your suggestions.

In the meantime, I saw something that I thought I should report.

Today the same box with similar symptoms came up.... Except, it was not empty. It said, "TEATIMER caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.dll at 0177:bff614ac". It has the same Close button. I pressed and it closed. I tried to launch IE. It said, "Not enough resources to launch ... close some programs and try again".

Hopefully, this means something to you??
