My advice to Shep is find a freind that can help him that knows this stuff. Even for an expert it can take a few long hours to sort it out. Even reinstalling XP is not trvial for a novice.
If you have a recovered CD or you may have a recovery image on the laptop itself that is the simplest for the novice. I respect anyone who wants to sort this out and learn though and there are some great tips here. Things I would check is Windows XP Firewall Exceptions (Like to see Dialog showing it is off or Exceptions added). Network Stack (Often Virus Programm will add to the Network Stack to add Port Blocking) Screen Shot of Network Stack. I'd uninstall SlimServer after that Show Screen Shot of all services (to see it's completely removed) Show List of tasks running to show no remnants left Show List of Program Files (Just Folders to be sure it's removed). Show List of Installed Applications might help to. Again this is a fair amount of work to do posting screen shots on this forum. And it still may fail when you install in there is a well hidden firewall still there. -- mswlogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35875 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
