Hi musicalpulltoy,

AVG analyzer

I don't use that program so I'm not sure what to make of it's findings.

no i dont use reg fixers,

:thumbup: Good, they don't really do a whole lot for you.



We'll remove OTM first then I'll give you a link to a tool you can use for temorary files.


Open OTM then click the Clean Up button. You may get prompted by your firewall that OTM wants to contact the internet - allow this. A cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will do some clean up tasks and delete some of the tools you have downloaded plus itself.


Here's a very good simple tool to use everynow and and then to clean out the temporary files. It's yours to keep and use it does pretty much the same as OTM.

Download TFC to your desktop

• Close any open windows.
• Double click the TFC icon to run the program
• TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
• Click the Start button to begin the process.
• Allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
• The program should not take long to finish it's job
• Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
• if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean

Hi musicalpulltoy,

Are you using an Iphone on this computer? m3u8 files can also be used by Itunes.

heard about totally uninstalling then reinstall ie7 lnstead of ie8.

There isn't any need to reinstall IE7. It will automatically rooll back to IE7 when IE8 is uninstalled. However since you installed IE8 before you installed Service Pack3, Service Pack3 will need to be uninstalled first.

hi.
i use an iphone emulator with firefox to visit a chat site that only allows phones.
turned the java off and the popup stoped.
firefox is what i mainly use but some times only IE will work for a site and it lags whole pc.
other then that everything seems ok.

Hi musicalpulltoy,

Looks like that site might be fir people to share small video clips. Does this happen all the time or only when you are using the emulator?

[musicalpulltoy]

hi,,
your right, some little clips from website wanted to download.
yes, only when emulating.
any chance this will work?

then revert to ie7.

Hi

It would seem that something on the site you are using with the emulator is also connecting to the other site with the video clips. Do you go to m.cdn.cloud.kargo.tv or a similar site?

any chance this will work?

No. The info in that link is to prevent IE8 from being installed. You all ready have IE8 installed. As mentioned any version of IE that was installed prior to Service Pack3 being installed can not be uninstalled without Service Pack3 being uninstalled first.

You can uninstall Service Pack3 via add/remove programs then uninstall IE8. Once IE8 is uninstalled you can reinstall Service Pack3. You shouldn't have the same difficulties you had before as you have corrected the permissions issue you experienced earlier.

An easy way to prevent IE8 from installing is

• set Automatic Updates to "download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them?
• When you are notified that updates are ready to be installed
• click the yellow update icon
• click Custom install (advanced)
• Click next
• Uncheck IE8
• If there any other updates click install
• otherwise click close
• You will be presented with a warning box, "updates that aren't selected will not be installed", check the box beside "Don't notify me about these updates again
• click ok

IE8 should not be offered again.
