tried rebooting...I tried the CD in it rebooting, I tried safe mode, I tried
every mode there is on that 1 page I can get...I tried holding down C as it
started up and it went streigth to black page with pop up shell32.dll was
not found...I get that with everythign I try...I can't put in links when I

the safe mode page, which is black background also...no place for me to type
anything...so that is why I said I can't get to any store for this...I guess
the only thing I can do is take it to our computer Dr. local here who

format you do not not need to format, this
will wipe the data you need.
You need to enable your computer to boot from CD. Jim provided some good
advice on this. Another option is that on some laptops if you hold down the
"C" button during bootup it will start from CD.
option 1:
boot into safemode with command prompt. run "chkdsk c: /f" (without
quotes). when that has finished press ctl-alt-del, task manager will pop up,
choose shutdown -> restart.
option 2:
I provided a link to a web site (i did not mean drive to the shops, that is
what the link is for)
( try http://www.serverninjas.com/ubcd4winfiles/UBCD4WinV26.exe )
in my earlier post that enables you to download a file which you can burn to
CD, you can then boot from that CD to rescue your system. This CD contains a
windows setup that runs totally off CD, if you manage to boot it up, go to
the menu and choose command prompt. Then in the prompt type "chkdsk c: /f"
without the quotes. this will fix your problem, i have done this many times,
with exactly your problem.
option 3:
if you have a windows xp install disk (not a Dell recover disk, which usally
just wipe your system and restore a disk image), boot from it, press R to
enter the recovery console, then type "chkdsk c: /p" (note this is different
to the above command).
option 4:
just wipe the thing and reinstall, or take it to your local tech if you want
your data. but trust me you do not need to wipe it to make it work, or
recover your files.

Sound like you did not reboot with the recovery CD. If you choose to
recover
by reformatting the drive, or better still only C if you have more than one
partition, this will bypass the hard drive and any errors that may be on
it.
Or is the CD drive failing?

Put the XP install CD in the drive, then click Start, Shutdown, then
Restart. Then watch the screen for the message about hitting a key to boot
from the CD. If you get past the black screen with white text then maybe
your bios is not configured to boot from CD's.

Subject: Internet fail on all but one machine
I'm reposting my problem as a last resort
Here's my setup:
Four computers on a router and of course a cable modem provinding
internet access. Three of the computers were on one side of a single
desk, the fourth was on another desk same room.
Everyhing was working fine, all machines see each other on the
network, all machines have internet access.
I wanted to move the three computers to the other side of that desk,
this involved unplugging everyhing to move the computers. I moved
them then reconnected the cables. Oops! No networking, no internet.
I can't recall for cetein wheht the lone computer that internets now
had internet at first.
I took the router out of the mix, connecting the cable modem to one
machine at a time, only the one that now has internet, worked. The
others did not work with only the cable modem connected to each
machines NIC. I then turned off the modem for couple of minutes,
thinking that it was a configuration problem between the modem and
the machines. No change.
I tried the ipconfig /release followed by the /renew option. No
change, no internet on the three machines. It works fine on
the 'good' machine.

I run chkdsk quarterly. to access chkdsk -- WinKey + R to open the Run

enter chkdsk /r >enter
a black window will open. it will ask if you want to run chkdsk at next
reboot and press Y
at next boot, chkdsk will run. It could take some considerable time so be
patient.
if you don't remove MRU's then the command will remain in the Run Command

you also can creaet a shortcut on the DT or on the QLTB by navigaing to
C:\WINDOWS\system32 and then R click on the chkdsk.exe and Send to DT

Be sure to report what he did and whether any data was lost. I think that
there is an option to repair an XP installation without destroying data,
but
I don't know whether it works, or whether it manages to save the data.

There should be an option for a NON-DESTRUCTIVE RESTORE. Most PC have this

it is in the hands of the PC medic now. Hopefully he will do the right
thing.

Press and release might reset the router. Press and hold usually
resets to the factory defaults -- losing your password and other
settings -- and if it's wireless, losing your channel, encryption
type, encryption setting and more.
This is a last resort, since you will have to reconfigure your
wireless after that. If wired, it's not as bad, but remember to set
a password on the router. You might want to cruise through the
router's setup screens and make a note of the settings before doing a
factory default reset.
A power-off/power-on of the router might solve the problem.
Regarding your experience hooking the modem directly to the
computers, you'd have to power it off FOR EACH MACHINE.
The modem's ethernet interface knows the MAC address of at the other
end of your Ethernet cable. Just hooking it to a different machine
won't work. You'd have to hook it up and then power up the modem and
reboot the computer (so the computer gets an IP address on the
cable/dsl ISP's network.

Subject: Re: Internet fail on all but one machine
Two suggestions I will put on the table here:
So on one of the machines that can't network, can you change the default
gateway to match the working machine?
If you can, give it an IP address in that subnet. I would try configuring
one of the non-working PCs to look like the good one, same dhcp server, dns
servers, subnet mask, etc. based on your ipconfig data:
http://www.nomorepasting.com/paste.php?pasteID=61370
(BTW, http://www.nomorepasting.com is a great site for pasting and
sharing info, text, scripts, and codes. A bookmark gem if you ask me ;)
See if it works. It won't answer the question of what happened to the
config but it might get them working again.
My second suggestion is turn your modem off for 15 mins, then turn it
back on, see what happens.

Everyhing was working fine, all machines see each other on the

I took the router out of the mix, connecting the cable modem to one

Jim, I'm no expert and I think I've had more good luck with my networkthan
anything, but my experience tells me that often the cable companywon't just
accept any computer MAC address and let them talk. When Ihave installed a
router on my Charter account I have had to use the MACaddress clone feature
and give the router the MAC address of my mainmachine. Until I do that, I
can't access Charter at all. I've had todo it with 3 different routers.
Taking the router out of the mix mayhave simplified things, but it may have
brought about a self inflectedwound (network wise). I have also seen where
the MAC clone featuredoesn't seem to be needed. I have no clue why it's
needed sometimesand sometimes not.
From what I've read earlier about your problem, I think you have totrack
down and fix the PING problem. If you can't PING each othercomputer I
don't think you have any chance at all to get out to theInternet. I have
seen the case where no machines can see each other onthe network, but they
all can get out to the outside world. Myunderstanding is you are not that
lucky.

A quick google does indeed bring up a lot of info.
http://www.virusthreatcenter.com/virus.aspx?virus=42
Bloodhound is a Visual Basic worm that spreads via e-mail attachments
through Outlook and peer-to-peer file sharing networks. The subject line
will refer to "freedom of expression" or indicate that the body/attachment
contains a legal notice of some sort. The message will have various
attachment names and extensions. Bloodhound/Fili infects all Windows
versions except 3.x, but not UNIX/Linux or Macintosh systems. Upon
activation the initial version of this worm will block some anti-virus
processes (not Norton/Symantec) and compromise other security applications.

This might work for you:

Update your antivirus, your antispyware and scan your drive(s) in Safe Mode.
Delete your temporary files. Dump the contents of the IE Temporary Internet
Folder cache (TIF)
Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Delete Files
Dump the contents of the Mozilla FireFox Cache {if you use FireFox}
Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Cache --> Clear
Double Click My Computer (WinXP: Navigate to Start>My Computer)
You will see an icon representing your harddrive (most likely C: Drive)
Right Click on the hard drive icon and click Properties at the bottom of
the fly out window. One the very first tab (General) you will see a button
labeled "Disk Cleanup". Click that button. Make sure the following are
checked:
Downloaded Program Files
Temporary Internet Files and
Recycle Bin
Click OK and Disk Cleanup will delete those files for you. If you cannot do
this, then boot into "safe mode" and try it.
Reboot.
As far as getting rid of the spyware that is controlling your start page,
you might might be infected with one of the CWS spywares, try running
CWShredder. It's free:

Also, you could check these 4 locations in your registry for suspicious
items. What's a suspicious item, you ask. Anything that looks suspicious? :)
These are programs that start when Windows is started. When you boot.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
You can also try installing & running SmitFraudFix and AboutBuster
For info on AboutBuster: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
For info on SmitFraudFix: http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix_En.php
As usual, run them in Safe Mode.
