I downloaded a game called the curse of monkey island through a torrent.
i already own the game, but it was scratched.
Once i finished downloading it, It was of course in image file, so i ran it through daemon tools. Autorun worked and everything, but when i clicked on install the clock showed next to the mouse for a few seconds then it stopped and nothing happened.
Then i went into the main folder and clicked setup.exe and ran as administrator.. again nothing hapened.. Ive tried burning it to a disk too with no luck.
This game was released in '97. I doubt if it will even run on Vista. You can try compatibility mode3 more replies
hi, i was wondering if you would be able to help me,
i recently downloaded freelancer off of bittorrent (I heard that if you already bought the game it's fine to download, but my disc got scratched)
In the folder the two kinds of filed are the larger .IMG file and the smaller .SUB file.
I am absolutely clueless on how to actually play the game!!
any help would be extremely appreciate it!
I'm sorry we have to say this. We cannot help you with illegal activies because you said you download it off the torrent.

I bought and downloaded Cake Mania 3 from Amazon.com last week. Once I started playing the game, the computer started freezing up. The next day, the computer was doing weird things, like making beeping sounds when booting up and not letting me select my account on the welcome screen, then it started loading things randomly and repeatedly. So I started virus scanning, I used 4 different scans and nothing was found, except some cookies. I then uninstalled Cake Mania, but that didn't help. So I tried a system restore, no luck. Then I finally did a system recovery. I thought that would fix whatever was wrong because that reformats the hard drive. After I did the recovery, all the things the computer was doing before, are still going on. I know the computer was infected, but now that I did a recovery, I don't know what else to do to fix the computer. Any help will sure be appreciated!!

I downloaded Medieval: Total War via bittorrent, and installed all the files. Now, when I try to start the program, it opens a window asking me to "insert the correct CD and restart the application". I don't have a CD and the game is saved onto my harddrive. How do I get the program to run properly without a CD?
Lol I probably shouldn't be answering questions about pirated software but ....thats why the post has been edited and that content removed.
For some reason all the games I download onto my laptop do not work. After downloading then installing any game it always end up saying something like "cannot connect to server" and I checked with my friend to see if he had the same problem but it was just me. This completely makes my laptop useless, and I checked the system requirements and the site it self to see if there were any maintenance going on for all the games and everything was okay.I'm almost certain it is not the games but some setting on my laptop I am unaware of.
Please Help!
I have recently installed a couple of games downloaded from Bigfish. They install OK as far as I know ie everything is there after installation. But as soon as I try to run the games I get the message "Gamename.exe has stopped working..... Windows is searching for a solution etc., etc" Windows, of course, never finds a solution so, I was wondering if anyone can help with this problem.
Thanks in advance
1. Click on the Start Orb and then click on Control Panel. (All steps have screenshots below and you can click on any screenshot to enlarge it.)
2. Double click on "Problem Reports and Solutions".
3. Click "See Problems to Check" on the left hand pane. (N.B. Your window will not look exactely the same as mine)
4. Under BigFish, click "More Details". I do not have a BigFish game in my list, so substitute my Installer for your BigFish game .
5. Copy everything in the red box on MY screenshot and paste it into a reply to this thread. Alternatively you could make a screengrab of the whole window and reply with that instead.
How to take a screengrab: How to Use the Snipping Tool in Vista
6. Click "OK".
7. Check "Select All" and "Check again for solutions to other problems" then click "Check for Solutions". If any new solutions are found, particularly for SetupLauncher, open them up and see what they say.
Have you tried running the games in Compatibility mode? Thanks,

Not sure where I was supposed to post this... Sorry if I'm in the wrong place.
But I downloaded a game from kazaa. I copied a zipped file to disc. I tried to open it. Then I had to unzip it. So I did. I then went to where it was supposed to be and it gave me the option to unzip it again... and I've gone through that about 5 times and I'm getting terribly frustrated. Can anyone help me please!
I tried to delete this... But I see that I won't be able to. I put it somewhere else.
kazaa is very dodgy for downloading zip file as you never know what you are downloading, do you have a vius scanner, and do you know which files you are extracting?
Yesterday i bought test Drive unlimited 2 it worked for a while but today when i started my pc the game didnt read on the disc so i think its something to do with my player.
As i want to play the game i downloaded a copy of it on the internet, the files i have though are these
(download link deleted by moderator)
Im having a problem using these, how do i install the game using these files?

Two days ago, I bought and downloaded Cake Mania 3 from Amazon.com. Then my computer started doing things like freezing up, and loading the same things over and over. I ran AVG free virus scan, then windows defender, then the scan you can do on Microsoft's website. They didn't find anything except some cookies. I then used Lavasoft and it only found cookies. But the computer was getting worse, so I decided to try a system restore, no luck, Then I used my recovery discs. And even though the hard drive was reformatted, the computer is still doing the same things. It doesn't even show the welcome screen when it starts up. It also makes beeping sounds when it's first turned on. Please help!

Many thanks.
Did you do a search for the app? Starting in Windows 8.1 all apps don't automatically get pinned to the Start Screen. I see its good rated app at the store

Once you found it you can right click on it to pin it.

I have disc one and disc two with the bin and cue files. I proceeded to burn them onto CDs and I am able to install the game on my computer. The problem I am having is the anticopy protection. It is protected with safedisc V2 and I have no idea how to bypass it. when I insert the burnt copy it says "please insert correct disc" and it is very irritating. I have an Iomega 650 ITAPI CDRW drive and from what I am told is that a Liteon CDRW is the easiest to use when it comes to burning exact copies of games with the anticopy protection and all, but unfortunately I don't have this luxury. What I wish to accomplish is to run the game how it would normally work if I had the original CD's of the game (preferrably running from the CD-rom drive not from the harddrive). I don't want a "NOCD" crack because I want to run it from the CD, I just need to know how to delete or disable the anticopy protection. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance!
Sorry Trauma, cracking copyright protection is NOT what the site is about, if that's your desire, we can't help you here.

I downloaded some computer game files and now I am sorry and want to delete them but can't find the files that support them. The shortcut icons appear only on the fifth line of the Mozilla and I.E. browzer home pages. The address line shows the files at http://retrogamer.iwon.com/home.jhtml?tbdd=9197. The files do not appear under C:\ anywhere and the search function and Control Panel add/remove can't locate them either. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Try going through the motions of downloading one of the games again and this time when you click to download the file take a good look at the path where the file will be downloaded, depending on your memory it might be a good idea to write it down. Once you have done that , Cancel the download.

I downloaded a game that, after paying for it and downloading it, found out that the newest version of Windows it runs on is XP. I went to Microsoft to find out how to get a virtual desktop to run the game but they're saying I need a different version of Windows 7 (I have Home Premium Edition). I'm not sure what the right way is to go about fixing this issue and would love some advice...
They are talking about Win 7 Professional, into which you can download and install the XP Virtual mode.
You can try running the game in Compatibility Mode.

Is game emulator bIOS ripped from any game console or the guy who invented the emulator programmed a BIOS?More replies
heres the side note on the game below
Note on Windows XP Compatibility for this title: The MIDI music option slows the game engine down considerably on Windows XP. It's recommended to use the CD-DA (full CD sound) music option so that the game plays at a normal speed.
is there any way i can set it up to keep the engine from slowing and not use the cd da,its a pretty old windows game and im sick of hearing my cd rom drive spin.its a cheap and therefor a loud one

first of all is this limited to this game alone?do other games run fine?check for any overheating signs,install the latest drivers for your video card and your mobo,direct x and any other update.see if you meet the minimum requirements for the game.(this was just the official response you would get from a techie..so bear with me)
if this is happening in this game only and not in any other and your pc isnt overheating and meeting the minimum requirements,then there is a good chance its an issue with your optical drive,try a combo drive if you've got any around.its an incompatibility issue with some of the games.good luck

I have updated my sound drivers, updated my DirectX. It's like something eats up my ram or my soundcard is causing it. And when everything gets slow I quit the game and windows is then also very very slow. And sometimes my soundcard crashes, giving a loud beep sound. It's driving me NUTS.

So I play some games that have some redundant grinding and instead of having to man the computer to grind the virtual materials such as metal in this case to craft gear and weapons on a Facebook Flash Game that is designed to be hours of farming materials daily to craft, I generally study the gameplay and look for redundant patterns in the game that can be automated and then code up a macro to have the computer farm the materials for me so that when i am actually playing the game I can just enjoy having the needed materials and play for like 20 minutes of the actual 4 hours of game play that is non grinding to make decisions and perform non redundant processes.I coded up a macro this morning and had it triggered to start by a batch file which would give me 10 seconds after launching the batch from desktop to make sure that the browser window was brought back into position maximized and my fingers away from mouse and keyboard before it would run.My flaw in my batch file was that I thought that it would wait until the macro instance ended before going to the goto routine that would run the 10 second time delay and run the macro over again and this time the browser is already maximized and the game is back at the starting point to run the same tasks of grinding for materials over and over again.I walked away from the computer to get a water bottle and when i came back to the computer the mouse pointer was going crazy. At first I thought the macro was glitched. But when I brought... Read moreMore replies
So recently Windows 8 killed my hard drive so I had to switch over to Windows 7 on a new hard drive. Everything seems in order however when I try to play certain games I seemingly can't connect to various servers.
Games and the problems I receive
Armored Warfare: Failed to connect to Authorization server
Ark Survival Evolved: No servers appear in server browser, attempts to connect through steam directly fail
Verdun: Failed to connect to server
Smite: Failed to connect to Hi-Rez Authorization server
Mech Warrior Online: Game seems to believe its servers are under maintenance despite them being active
I am unable to play any of these games however I am able to connect to and play other online games without a problem. These include World of Tanks, World of Warships, Red Orchestra, Mount and Blade, Depth, League of Legends and War thunder.
To fix my problem I have tried to:
Turn off all anti virus programs
Turn off all firewalls
Tried using two different internet providers via two different modems in two different locations
Reset Internet options
<I am using a wired connection>
I have literally no clue how to fix this and I've tried contacting these game's support teams and communities for assistance however they have been less than useful.
Even after you disable firewalls they may still be running in the background. From personal experience I know that certain firewalls, like windows defender, would stay on even after I disabled them. If uninstalling the firewalls isn't an option you might want to add your games as an exception.
Mind telling me which anti-virus programs you have/firewalls you have?
You also might want to open up certain ports for the game servers. If I'm not mistaken the ports are different for different games so you'll have to google that.
For example War Thunder uses the following:
The following ports required to be opened for the game:
TCP 80, 443, 5222, 7850-7854(range), 7800-7802(range)
UDP 20010-20500(range), 3478-3480(range)
In order to play a dev-version you also have to open the following ports:
Launcher uses the following ports:
TCP 27022-27042(range), 6881, 8090
About 3-4 months ago, my uncle placed a GeForce 9500GT video card. It worked nice for games like Dekaron,Rappelz,Oblivion but just about a week ago it crashed on COD2. I thought it was normal but it happened on Left 4 dead too. I started to get worried and thought it was normal but then it kept on crashing on Portal(1st stage, at around 20-30 seconds on the timer) and almost any game i borrow from my friends. It crashed on Warcraft 3, Overlord, Drift City(only in Undercity Mission). Im kinda worried now maybe you guys can help me.
It crashes and sometimes the sound loops but sometimes it doesnt. Im not sure if it's only the monitor because some of my games cant be shut by using ALT F4 and i cant check if it shuts down well. When i unplug,plug and turn it on, there are no warnings or things that say it recovered from an error.It just starts normally. Some people say i have to upgrade my Video card driver but im worried because when i installed a driver on my Laptop , i couldnt turn it on. SO WHAT DO I DO?
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU 4 3.00GHz
1G of Ram

I have an ongoing issue where I log onto the glyph launcher, log onto my server, play for a while, sometimes hours with no issue but then BOOM, the game just closes on me and I'm booted back to the launcher. I have to push the PLAY button again, log into the server again, but it seems once the game boots me out then the crashing becomes more frequent.
I at first reported it to Trion support (useless) all they do is copy and paste previous responses from previous games sometimes not even removing the other game titles from it, but all in all I have spent over a month with them and I have:
1. Expanded my paging file to initial size of 1X RAM size max size 2X RAM size (to handle the memory of the game)
2. Switched from DirectX11 down to DirectX9 and back again. (in game)
3. Lowered my FPS (frames per second) to 100 (in game)
4. Switched off Multithread rendering and VSync (in game)
5. They have also had me change the priority of the game archeage.exe to high to see if that helps and it doesn't
( I would start the launcher, log onto the game and the server, go into the character screen, then cntrl + alt + delete into task manager and right click the process and set the priority to high then go back into the game)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I've been haveing some trouble with either game crashes or full bluescreen (error 101).
I WAS useing twin GeForce 9600GTs in SLI, I recently upgraded to a HD 7870.
The problem did not change, suggesting that video drivers are not the source... Although altering the drivers with the 9600GTs did seem to effect if the game crashed or full bluescreen crash.
So basicly, the PC works fine untill I play a game (high end and/or minecraft... simple games do not trigger it) at that point, you are on borrowed time. Around 15-120 min. into gameplay, either the game will crash (fatal error bug or no bug report) OR the PC will freeze briefly followed by a blue screen BCCode 101. (Windows 7 64)
I did a simple RAM check, but I did not leave it running for long. I have 3 sticks of 2GB in there, and haveing removed one at a time did not effect the problem. (IE: I took out each stick, leaveing 2 in for a quick and easy method to find a possable faulty RAM chip).
Thus far, it would seem that the CPU in at haveing timeing issues with a core.
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+ 3.2 GHz
Could it be overheating? Everything seems to work fine untill I start a game, then it crashes out roughly 30 min into playing. I'm consitering removeing the heat sink, reapplying the thermal paste, and checking if that has any effect. This much I am qualified to do; but is there a way to monitor processor heat levels durring gameplay (I'm sure standard bios heat checks would not show problems). ... Read more

It seems something is going wrong with my GPU or one of the drivers. I feel like it's most likely hardware failure, due to extreme treatment of my laptop. What happens is the whole screen kind of just gets chopped up into squares (sometimes the patterns vary. Sometimes, it's not even a ****ing pattern, just a ****ed up screen) with different colors. It then crashes and attempts to restart but you can't even read the BSOD because the screen is so messed up. Then it will reboot itself but the screen is screwed and if you attempt to run 'windows normally', it will crash and reboot in an endless cycle. I have to start in safe mode, in which there are a bunch of nasty lines that start from left to right on the screen. I can still use the laptop but over time the screens disappear and the screen finally goes back to normal. After this, I can reboot into normal mode. Help!! I can also send pics showing what happens, I just have to play a game and have it crash for me again haha Thanks!

Is there a way to set my computer to disable a specific USB Device or USB Port when I start a certain game, but then have it work again when I close the game? Could this be done through a batch file or registry edit?
I want to do this because I always have 2 game controllers plugged into my PC at all times, but when I launch a game called "Rozen Maiden ALiBAT" it does not detect my primary controller as the controller for Player 1. Since it is not detected as Player 1, I cannot use it to do any single player functions.

I've been trying to install Game Pad Pro on win 2000 but haven't had any luck so far.
I'm installed the drivers, and realized that the OS doesnt' know there's a new hardware device.
In 'Device Manager', under 'Sound, video and game controllers', there's no mention of a game port device, all it has is my tv tuner card, audio and video codecs'.
I've clicked on 'scan for hardware changes' and nothing changed. How do I fix the problem? How do I check to see if any of the other devices are interupting with the game port?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not familiar with that unit.
Does this connect USB?
You may have a dead port.
First off try removing all of your USB Hubs and Controllers in Device Manager and restarting.
Then see if it will recognize it.
If not try a different USB port (preferably one in the back on your motherboard)
If it's a serial port, go into the properties of the COM port in Device Manager and make sure your flow control (under Port Settings) is set to Hardware and baud is set to 9600. Also if it's serial you may need to check or uncheck your FIFO buffers under the advanced tab
Moved to Hardware, due to the fact I believe this is a hardware problem not a Game problem or software problem.

my 86 year old cousin asked me to try and help her with her Candy Crush game Level 277. So I signed on FaceBook with her information and played her Game. Well when she signed on her Facebook page later that night it brought up my game of which I'm on Level 311. Last night I played my game just to see what would happen and my icon moved up the map when I passed the level but she is still at level 311. My game is fine. Hers is messed up as it presents itself as mine not hers. She is still on with my friends and she wants her game board back. We had a Half series of Freaky game switch. She switched but mine is fine. Her Facebook page is still hers but her candy crush saga is not. My computer is a Windows 10 not sure what hers is as she lives in North Carolina and I Live in Florida. I also played her game on my IPad. Which I believe is an IPad 2 not sure though.
i want to know how game works...how is the actions i do are saved and what are engines and what roles do they play in game's working...
my approach: i think the gaming engine is a platform,sort of like windows in smaller version where it is defined how certain file with certain extensions are to be opened,and they are displayed using our graphic card and etc....
every time we do some action eg.save game ,fight etc...the commands are send to processor which in turn decides what to do by checking the command with the already given one's....for eg. if i click the save button,the processor reads the command,checks it in game's directory which tells it to save the input data in a new file ,and then it saves the data in a new file....is this how game works...please answer....

Hi everyone,
I've been looking for a fix for ages now, but all forum threads I found were talking about the Game DVR recording no audio at all, while I can hear my microphone, but nothing else I've tried changing the audio quality, restarting my pc and even recording different games, but there was no game audio to be heard anywhere. If you have any ideas how to fix this I'd be very grateful!
What do you see in settings > audio?
This bit below is not exactly what you are asking for, but may be a better solution to your problem.
Do you have an AMD or Nvidia GPU? If so, I personally recommend using the built in recorders that they have. I have a GTX 760 and whenever and wherever I press alt+z I can bring up an overlay that allows me to start recording or streaming. It can also easily be set up to stay active in the background and if something cool happens when you weren't recording you can have it save the last 'x' minutes of video (where 'x' is the amount you set in the options). It can also record anything else on your PC, not just games.
Do they still have a game called....Wolfenstein(?) It was a game for like Windows 95 or something that was like a spy that went through some old castle looking for secrets of the German military or something like that. Haven't seen it in years, and was thinking that I really liked it back in the day, might want it again. Where could I find it, and would it work on XP??

Check this free program that boost your gaming experience, and improve over all FPS! Its really true? The program seem promising, but I'm little skeptical of using it.
Anyone willing to give it a try and tell me your result with screen shot + and how many fps you gain before and after etc after trying it? : )
personally i wouldn't trust stuff like that to not be a virus or something
even if the site says "no spyware" (i haven't looked but it might ) it doesn't mean no viruses
even if it is legit it will probably just push your system to make it perform better which could end up in damage to the pc
but if anyone else wants to try it then go ahead but i won't for now

windows vista home premium,hp a6150,new navida 9400gt,amd 64x2 dual core processor 2.10 ghz,2.0 memory.i have lag on tigerwoods 08 game.loads slow and slow loadings between rounds.can you check a game for lag?
Your system does meet the recommened requirements for the game so your good there. If you have a lot of software running on your PC such as updaters, Antivirus, messengers, HP software, etc it can tax your system and lower it's performance. You can check your device manager to see what you have running in the background. In XP you should see 40 or so, in Vista or Windows 7 it can be closer to 60. My next question is what's your basis for saying it loads slow? Have you seen it run faster on other computers? I also have the game and I think it does load slower then I would expect it to but otherwise it runs fine. Something you can try is turning down the graphics options or disabling things like the crowd. If it is indeed lagging on your PC this will speed up the load times. If it doesn't then your likely not having an issue.

And you have no browser open? And check for new email only infrequently?
You could try disconnecting from the modem and see if any program complains.
In Network Connections right click on your connection and select Status. Watch the Bytes sent and received to get an idea of the upload vs download and how much.
So I downloaded something and although avast said it blocked a trojan/virus, I just want to sure my PC is safe/clean. Think you guys can help me out?

system running : windows XP professional with sp3
okay, as the title implies, while surfing the internet a tab appeared in the firefox window that said "Updating..." but never showed/displayed anything. After that, I noticed the windows start/tool bar had changed from the XP theme version to the classic version. Then i noticed that there was no network connectivity. When I tried to look up what was wrong, the properties, rename, and delete options have been disabled from the right-click menu.
I received a message that there was attempt to update registry but whatever was done was restored, then my PC reboot.
what I've done so far:
I tried to boot using the windows xp CD but nothing happens. Windows eventually boots up, but I don't get any options to run repair or anything.
Used CA anti-virus for scan and found nothing (did this again in safe mode and still found nothing)
I did a search to see if I could find what was modified, it shows that all user accounts including a Helpassist?? account have been updated in some form or fashion so i don't know what else to do
I see svchost.exe, services.exe, and system taking up 50% of CPU occasionally but not sure what to make of that.
to get the internet started I tried to turn on some network services but all failed due to 'timeout'
Please let me know any ideas, or how to get started on trying to fix this problem.
other pcs are connected to the internet just fine.

Hello. I downloaded the new sp3 update yesterday and followed all the instructions and i was ready to restart my computer. When i did, everything went fine until after the loading screen it gave me a blue error screen. Since i needed the computer in working order, I used a pc recovery tool (pressed F10 when it started up) and did a non-destructive recovery which took about 20 minutes. Then after that was done i had to restart and do the windows first start up thing. Then i finally finished and saw that all of my custom features and files were no where to be found! All my applications and games that i downloaded are still in shape, but all of the custom features (like background, WMP playlists, Updates) were all gone. so is there any whay which i can restore my old settings? I need to have all my original settings as soon as i can please .
Hi cloud366, it sounds like you have done a repair install. When you pressed F10, did you choose Last Known Good Configuration from the boot menu?
Also, check in C:\Documents and Settings for a duplicate profile. It could be that your original profile has corrupted and Windows built you a new one.
All those type of "custom features" live in your local profile.
I opened a file from AIM, and now all these programs are trying to modify my computer. All help would be appreciated.

I was working trying to fix my DVDFab express tonight, and I was using a keygenerator... bad I know... but anyways, I ended up downloading and installing something that made my desktop wallpaper go to white and flicker... THe program initiated a msdos looking window with an error message that asked me if I wanted to abort... I couldn't choose anything and had to reboot... that's when I found it had erased my wallpaper and I couldn't get it fixed.. i knew it was some kind of malicious program...
so i came to you guys and I have followed all your steps... My wallpaper is back and I think I have gotten rid of most stuf, but my computer is still running kind of weird, slow, just not the same....
I have ran Adaware SE Personal, Spybot, Notron Anti-Virus, Kapersky Online Scanner, CWShredder, and Spyware Blaster... Please see if something else is on there...
Thanks Guys!!!!

Hello and welcome to BleepingComputer I don't see any malware there.Some points:Do you have a bought license for Norton? Or did you get it for free? The reason I'm asking is, it's a really heavy app for an antivirus. You can install a better antivirus that's waaaay lighter and easier for the computer, and takes less ram and actually is more efficient too.So, I recommend uninstalling Symantec's products and installing AntiVir (That's the promotion license for AntiVir Premium -- 6 months for free. You can get their free edition here) or Avast! instead.Another valid point: when did you install Service Pack 3? There has been several flaws with it.. Some people have really bad problems with SP3, I seem to be one of the lucky ones with no issues. Did you notice the problems after installing it?Also have a read through THIS TOPIC.Finally.....Click Start >> Run and paste in:"%userprofile%\desktop\dss.exe" /daftClick OK.Click OK to the prompt from Deckard's System Scanner.Click Scan.Checkmark every entry found.Click Fix.Let me know how you get on.2 more replies

I just purchased a new HP desktop, INtel core 2 Quad processor, 64 bit performance with 8gb of ram, 1 Terrabyte hard drive. It came with Vista home premium 64 bit edition. I had previously purchased Vista Ultimate for a laptop that no longer works. When I downloaded Vista Ultimate I put in the 32 bit instead of the 64.....I am not able to do a restore to go back to the way I purchased it. I am not very computer savvy. Can anyone please help??? Thank you. And what would be the down fall for keeping the 32 bit installed (somone had told me I wouldn't be using the full capicity of the computer) Thanks again.

32bit will only see 4gigs of ram and usually only be able to use abt 3.3 its also a bit slower depending on how you use it. when changing from one OS format (32bit) to another (64bit) it has to be a clean install.
Now about restoring you may have a backup there and available but since you are 32 bit and it isnt you cant use it. If you were to reinstall vista 64 it probably be available
downloaded IE9, but cant find it did search, found an empty folder but that all thats marked IE, toshiba laptop running mozilla firefox 3.6
When you say downloaded, if you've kept your Vista updates up to date you should have SP2 and IE9. Go to your Windows Updates and install and check in restore hidden updates for more installations.3 more replies

I took advantage of the student offer of Windows 7 and last night downloaded windows 7. I thought that because my laptop was 64 bit capable I could do a clean install to it from the download, which I now obviously realise was a mistake.

If they are still present, then download MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and while you are there grab the RogueRemoverFree as well. FileASSASSIN is under More Tools in Anti-Malware, and can actually delete the files while in use. Run that if the files wont delete or keep showing up in HJT. Make sure you update MalwareBytes before you do a full scan
I made the stupid mistake of downloading "trial" version of PCMightyMax that I saw referenced in forums. At the end of the download it told me I had 309 problems but it wouldn't "fix" them without ordering it. Which is ok; however, now I'm getting a constant popup telling me about my numerous problems and the "PC ambulance" is parked on my start bar. I hunted an uninstall (Add/Remove programs) and in Windows Explorer Programs file and it didn't have one so I just "deleted" it out of window explorer programs file. But I still have the popup and the ambulance parked on my desktop. Anyone know how to get rid of this? Did the CWS thing and it says my computer is clean. Here is my HJT file:

Hi everyone - hope this is posted in the right area
I am trying to download a file from this page -
when I click on the blue text of my choice, a box pops up asking me whether I want to open it from its present location or save it to disk. If I choose open it, a box comes up showing the download in process - at the end, I get a WinZip box, which says that this is an 'evaluation copy' and asks me what I want to do - agree to the evaluation conditions, quit, or get ordering info. I click agree, and I get a Winzip Wizard. I start trying to click my way through this process - I get screens like - 'Would you like to Unzip or Install from optr_por[1].zip' (I say yes) and then "Click now to unzip to selected folder, C:/unzipped/optf_por[1]. I say yes - a box comes up which says the files have been successfully unzipped to this location, and then a Windows Folder called TEMP pops up with an file inside it - the file is a Winzip icon, and seems to be the file I have just downloaded - it is called "optf por"....
Seems good so far. Then I click on it, hoping to see the document I have attempted to download. But I get a small box that says 'WinZip self extractor' at the top, and which says 'To Unzip all files in optf_por.exe to the specified folder, press the unzip button'. The specified folder is C:/WINNT/TEMP. I press Unzip and... a tiny box comes up which shows the p... Read more
It can be confusing trying to keep track of where downloaded programs unzip to especially using winzip. I think your first step should be to clean out the default folder winnt temp. I don't believe there is anything needed there but just to be on the safe side don't delete anything from the recycle bin until you're sure you can reboot and run programs without error messages. Next instead of letting the program run itself without installing on your hard drive create a new floder on the C drive tree or whatever your hard drive letter is and save it to that folder (save to disk, browse, choose that folder C:temp that you created.) That way if it unzips to the winnt folder it should be the only program in there, plus you have the original download on your computer so you won't have to keep downloading each time . As to what program to use to open the file that depends on what kind of program it is. Good luck

On returning from Nassau, the Absconder travels to the Pebble station in the Tortuga system to finally deliver a set of docking clamps. On arrival, they discover a number of ships from the Fairwinds clan surrounding the station, and the salvage ship 'The Petty Drake' docked at one of the station's two pylons. The Fairwinds ships are comprised of a mining ship tender and half-a-dozen small workbee type support ships.
Alwan, the Pebble's station master (and Rence's recent flame) contacts the crew and explains that the Fairwinds Clanners claim that Drake and Co. salvaged one of their ships from within their own territory. Drake claims the ship was just outside the Fairwinds territorial boundary, while the Fairwinds group claims it was inside the boundary.
Both sides claim to have logs proving their point. The crew offers Claudia's expertise to check the log files for any tampering to verify who is telling the truth. Alwan agrees and sends the files over to the Absconder for Claudia to examine.
After going over the files thoroughly, Claudia discovers that both are unedited, yet seem to tell the same story. With some additional digging, Claudia discovers that the Fairwinds' log came from a navigational satellite that may have had a compromised positioning system. With the uncertainty in its true location, it could have reported an incorrect position relative to the Fairwinds' official borders.
As Claudia is relaying this information, however, one of the Fairwinds' workbee ships suddenly goes spinning out of control. In the resulting chaos, the Fairwinds Clanners almost attack the station. Rence and Finch manage to talk the groups down, relaying Claudia's find to all parties. Just as the Fairwinders stand down, however, the Drake ignites its engines and rips free from Pebble station, damaging the remaining working set of docking clamps on the external pylons. The Fairwinds' mining tender ship quickly moves to pursue, and both the Drake and the Fairwinds ship boost clear of the station at high acceleration.
The remaining Fairwinds work-bees manage to rescue the out-of-control ship and secure it, then move towards the Pebble's hanger bay. Meanwhile, Ranso, Finch, and Claudia use the Absconder's workbee to fly over to the hanger deck to make sure things stay civil, and arrange the delivery of the docking clamps as well as a refueling.
The remaining Fairwinds Clanners look ready to start a fight, but Finch manages to talk them down carefully, explaining that the PCs and crew of the Pebble have nothing to do with the situation, and it is all on Drake's company. The Fairwinders accept his reasoning and stand down. Finch later mentions to Alwin that it was an easy negotiation, as without their mining tender the workbees had little life support or range, and would not have survived without the station.
After dropping off the clamps and refueling, the Absconder makes its way back in system and arrives at Port-aux-Paix. Plinth greets the party and mentions that Kalilee has been asking repeatedly about her labor robot that the crew had left aboard the Mafdet. He also shows them the repairs on the Mafdet. While adequate, the Mafdet's military components made a complete repair impossible. The Mafdet will operate, but things like the front armor and some of the military-grade control components could not be acquired to bring the ship up to full spec.
While at Port-aux-Paix Finch manages to sell off all the 'spec' cargo he purchased at Nassau. The Port is a little short on cash, so Finch doesn't turn the profit he was looking for, but at least gets enough money to justify the run and free up the Absconder's limited cargo capacity.
The crew decide to worry about getting better parts for the Mafdet later, and for the moment head down to the Downport in the Mafdet to drop off Kalilee's robot. The Mafdet lands just ahead of a storm and the crew manage to lock everything down and get into the Downport just before it hits. When they come out of the airlock, they hear from Sheriff Thoon that a couple weeks ago two of Kalilee's miners managed to drive a crawler off a cliff in a dust storm, and that they were at Dr. Zebo's clinic for extended treatment. They were just about healed up and should be able to take the robot back with them to the mining camp in a day or two if the PCs wanted to leave it with them.
The PCs get a room Muldoon's hostel again and Claudia holes up in her room and thinks about how she could crack into the data store recovered from the Monk's tower now that the monks have met a bad end. While Claudia thinks, Finch and Ranso hear that Mada Xuan has received a new load of scrap a couple weeks ago. Recalling that Mada was the one who managed to find the military-grade emitters for the Mafdet, Finch thinks it might be worthwhile to see if she has any other parts that might fully repair the ship.
At Mada Xuan's they do indeed find a large load of fresh scrap, but it seems to be pieces of a simple mining vessel that wouldn't have the advanced components required by the Mafdet. Finch also discovers that the scrap is from the load the Drake's company brought in to the Pebble station that caused so much trouble. Believing it best to let sleeping dogs lie, Finch and Ranso head back to Muldoon's hostel without saying anything.
On the way back to the hostel, Finch and Ranso hear that Dr. Zebo has had some problems with his two patients. He claims they suddenly trashed his clinic, grabbed a bunch of supplies and ran off. The facility isn't large, but has lots of nooks and crannies so Thoon asks them to keep an eye out.
After getting a drink at Tabbin's bar, Finch and Ranso observe two men being forcibly ejected at considerable velocity from Otika Thoon's shop. The men slam into the wall and are knocked senseless. Ranso peeks in and sees Otika adjusting her dress and swearing. She says that the two men are the miners, and that they attempted to board their buggy (that Otika hadn't finished repairing) and drive it out of the bay and into the storm still raging outside.
Sheriff Thoon shows up to haul the men off to the holding cells as Finch checks what supplies they tried to steal from Zebo's clinic. He finds mostly typical frontier medicine but then comes across two ampules with Neebayan inventory stamps. While he isn't sure what they are, Finch realizes that these are probably serious narcotics or worse and palms them. Finch and Ranso offer to return the goods to Zebo as a pretense to question him and find out exactly what is going on.
Back at Zebo's clinic, Finch's empathic sense reveals the doctor's stream of lies when he tries to explain away the Neebayan ampules as well as the strange behavior of the miners. The PCs have long had suspicion that Zebo was up to no good, and suspected that he was the one that ratted Claudia out to the bounty-hunters that ambushed them on Port-aux-Paix several months ago.
FInch and Ranso go to the Sheriff's office and report that the doctor was up to something. Finch worried that Zebo would be called upon to treat the wounded miners in the holding cell, and that he would try to harm them to cover his tracks. Finch turned over the Neebayan drug vials to Thoon and said that he suspected that some drug Zebo was dealing was at the heart of the problem. Thoon said that he would look into it, and keep Zebo away from the miners for the moment.
Finch and Ranso return to the hostel hoping to use Claudia's communications data tap to catch who Zebo is communicating with. They find Claudia completely engrossed in breaking the quantum encryption on the Monks' data cache. During Finch and Ranso's excursion, Claudia had actually made some major progress on the data encryption, and while not completely defeating it, had some new strategies to try that may simplify unlocking the data.
After getting Claudia's attention, Finch asks her to review the comm logs and see if Dr. Zebo attempted to contact anyone after his earlier shakedown. She finds a series of messages from him that were beamed out to seemingly random points in space. In a moment of inspiration, Claudia begins correlating all the messages with the pirate attacks that occurred recently in the system. She discovers that all the attacks occurred within a couple weeks of Zebo sending a message. The contents of the messages themselves seem to be pointless small talk, but probably contain a cypher or code word set that tipped the pirates off.
The PCs had a smoking gun linking Zebo to the pirates, but didn't want to reveal that they had been tapping the Downport's communications for the past half year. Instead Claudia did an anonymous data drop to the Sheriff and sat back to watch what he would do. The PCs were still suspicious that the Sheriff was somehow involved, and handing him the information privately would force his hand one way or the other.
Meanwhile the particle storm subsided and communications resumed from the Downport. Claudia's algorithm captured a message from Dr. Zebo to Port-aux-Paix which appeared to be a list of medical supplies to be ordered. This was innocuous, as he would have to restock after the thefts at his clinic, but seemed suspicious. The PCs suspicions were confirmed when the Sheriff knocked on the door half-an-hour later, telling the PCs that Dr. Zebo had stolen a maintenance sled and took off across the plains.
Thoon offered the use of his grav sled to the PCs, and the party prepared to head off in pursuit. There was no sign of Rence, however, and he didn't answer his comm. This had happened before whenever Rence got involved in skirt chasing, so the PCs left him behind and headed out armed and ready.
After a pursuit across a broad dustbowl, the PCs finally caught up with Zebo just as a shuttle landed ahead. The landing kicked up a dust cloud obscuring the scene until the PCs managed to drive closer with their sled. The doctor had abandoned his sled in the dust cloud and was running towards the shuttle on foot. A burst of Gauss Rifle fire from Ranso took the doctor's legs out from under him, and Claudia drove the sled around between Zebo and the shuttle. Ranso provided covering fire while Finch jumped out and began hauling the now unconscious Zebo aboard the sled.
Several goons came out of the dust and opened fire, trading shots with Ranso and Claudia. While Ranso was hit, his armor absorbed the shot. Thoon's sled was not as lucky, as a burst of bullets crippled one of the repulsor pods and caused it to skew violently. Acting quickly Claudia managed to cut power to the sled and set it down just as Finch followed Zebo into the sled.
By now, the dust was starting to settle, and Ranso recognized the shuttle as being of the type that the PCs encountered in the hidden hanger near the monk's tower. He wasn't sure if it was one of the ones that had been in the hanger, but it was certainly the same type.
After a further exchange of gunfire, the PCs managed to take out the goons, but the shuttle's engines began to ignite. Not wanting to be caught in the hot exhaust from a torch drive, Claudia managed to get the sled temporarily balanced despite its damaged lift pod, and get everyone clear just as the shuttle lifted off. The PCs, with the unconscious Zebo in the back of the sled, headed back towards the Downport.

The flagship education initiative is being run by mentoring charity Mosaic, which was founded by The Prince in 2007 to help young people from deprived backgrounds realise their potential.
The final at the Carnegie Pavilion will see the teams go head-to-head in front of a prestigious panel of judges, including Legal365.com founder Ajaz Ahmed and award-winning social entrepreneur Dr Wakkas Khan.
The winning team will then aim for national glory at the Enterprise Challenge grand final in London on May 4.
The annual Enterprise Challenge is a national competition that aims to inspire knowledge, raise aspirations, confidence and long-term employability among secondary school pupils from some of the most deprived communities across the UK. It is supported by specialist, volunteer mentors from across the business community.
Students compete for six weeks in an online business game where they must develop, market and sell a new product.
Mosaic's Yorkshire regional manager Leah Larkin said: "The standard of teams from across Yorkshire was higher than ever this year and proof that the young people in our region, whatever their background, are a source of pride and excitement about the future.
"I'm really looking forward to the regional final and discovering which of our schools will be going to the grand final for a chance to be crowned national champion."

A Portuguese man in his 60s who was recently arrested in the Algarve, was found to have a stash of over 100 rough diamonds and emeralds worth in the region of €3 million, at his Albufeira apartment.
The precious gems reportedly had no paperwork to prove their origins and had been concealed among various decorative items in the apartment.
The jewels are said to be worth over €3 million, and represent one of the biggest seizures of the type in recent times in Portugal.
According to newspaper Jornal de Notícias (JN), the man had been under investigation by the Loulé GNR's NIC criminal investigation bureau for around three months, as part of a case involving fraud.
Following ongoing surveillance, officers waited for the right moment to take action, which came about on Tuesday, mid-afternoon.
Armed with search warrants, NIC agents raided the suspect's property and, after going through it with a fine-tooth comb, uncovered the gemstones.
The valuable jewels were confiscated and the man arrested.
The investigation will continue to verify whether there are any possible connections between this case and a precious gemstone smuggling network.
In 2016, the PJ police detained a 69-year-old Portuguese man suspected of being part of a group that operated a network of suppliers and rough gemstone transporters from third countries, without certificates of origin. The stones were later cut and introduced into the international market. At the time, action was staged in the Algarve, Lisbon and the Azores.
To obtain licensing, precious stones must meet a number of criteria for certification. A mechanism regulated by Law 5/2015 of 15 January, aims to prevent the introduction of so-called "blood diamonds" originating from conflict zones.
