Hi Sally >>Could it be that there's a bundled and hidden application?
If you have now deleted the program, it will most likely be the registry entries causing the problem but it is a dangerous place to make changes if you are not certain about what you are doing. I see Ivan has just suggested this but I would suggest setting a physical system restore point and also backing up your registry before you attempt it ... if you want to attempt it. Perhaps Ivan can tell us in which folder/s he found the TUeagles entries and which entries he deleted? >>Any chance I can detect it? You would have to search for registry entries for the name TUeagles as follows Click Start>Run type "regedit" (without quotes) and click on Edit>Find then type in TUeagles and click on "Find now" Before you consider doing anything to the entries it finds, back up your registry so that if anything goes wrong you can restore it. In the same registry window you click on File>Export and browse to a place to store the back up registry perhaps create a folder called Registry Backup and copy it there. If you have ME, W2000 or XP also set a physical restore point. Restoring the Registry you backed up is File>Import and import the file from the folder you backed it up to. If you have physically deleted the program I wonder if a good Registry Cleaner would recognise the now obsolete TUeagles entries and clear them out for you. One free Registry cleaner is Easy Cleaner, you will find the download and instructions for use here: http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm I haven't used this one myself but will download it nevertheless. It comes recommended by "Mike The Bike" who is a respected moderator on many computer help lists and most folk here will have come across him at some time. If you click on Start>Run and type "msconfig" (without quotes) and click OK, then in the new window that opens click on the Startup tab (last on right), a list of programs that run at startup will be displayed, do you see anything relating to TUeagles in the list? If so uncheck the box to the left to prevent it from running at startup and see if this helps. >>Lastly would you know if I can find somewhere a 'default password database?' I assume you mean a database of passwords, if there was such a database it would be huge, you would be quicker reinstalling or reformatting Windows than going down that route. There used to be programs that would attempt to crack passwords but I haven't researched that field for a long time, I will have a look though. If the password box displayed asterisks (*), where the password should be I could tell you how to crack that password. Rupert O^O--------------- Rupert's Reply To ---------------O^O Avast ye land lubbers! One bear and no pirates found in this outbound vessel Thank you Rupert Bear for your help. I have tried all the options including "TUEAGLES" all caps. Two emails to the vendor were sent but were ignored. I am sending a reminder, hopefully they'll respond. No "jog your memory" reminder option was available. I have deleted all "tuEagles" entries from the Directory but to no avail. Could it be that there's a bundled and hidden application?
