Posted: Mon May 31, 2004 8:28 am Post subject: Comp. Cops R Great - Notepad says "not a user program&q |
|
|
I have a post in the hijack forum. I'm trying to read other topics and fix stuff myself because I know y'all r busy. When I tried to open Notepad from the start>programs>Acces. menu it says not a user program. I'm just trying to do as much as possible until I receive an answer on what to do about the hijack log.
Please help me with this other problem, maybe I changed some type of permissions or something for notepad or while I've been uninstalling and deleting stuff I somehow got rid of notepad.
Does Computer Cops have a form to print out and send donations? Don't trust my puter right now to do over the web.
Thanks![/b] |

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\msswchx.exe
This is what it says for the path when I create a short cut for notepad and then click on properities.
I can open notepad in command prompt window.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thank you very much. |

Ok, thanks. I have checked out a couple, I just didn't find any of the other symtoms for a virus or the rapidblaster. There may have been something in the past that I have cleaned up. Norton detected a trojan download one day and deleted it. I remember deleting something in Notepad.
I will keep checking til I get it.
Thank you for the fix. |

well there was a spyware program that screwed notepad.exe. if you d/l a new copy it might fix the problem.
if your running xp you could try going type sfc /scannow
and repair all your system and windows files
in 98 i beleave its sfc
