Title: High jack this, network and direct internet connection doesnt work
Post by: jen3ca on October 13, 2006, 08:10:17 PM
Hey could you help me again? dads computer wont go on the internet, it connects and everything but the internet page comes up as "This page cannot be displayed". I did a system restore to two days before, it was still messing up on the day i restored it too but the network worked after i restored it. The direct internet connection has not worked for a couple of months and the network is not working now either. We are running a network from a xp machine to a win 98, using a cross over wire, everything is set up correctly and all the hardware is working fine. when i try to use highjack this an error comes up saying "unexpected error" i press ok and it closes. Even after i reinstall high jack it does this, please help

Is that all it says? "unexpected error"
Can you post the whole error message

What version of Hijackthis are you trying to run?
Can you redownload it from my signature below and try again

Could you also
==Download this file - Combofix.exe (http://\"http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/combofix.exe\") and save it too desktop
Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Post the log from combofix please

I have done what you have asked. I downloaded and reinstalled highjack this and it still comes up with the same error. ALL the error says is unexpected error if it said anything else in the error i would have told you. Also when I ran combo fix from the desktop it came up with an error saying,  "Error!! cmd.exe is not present" thanks for the help.

Can you try running Combofix in safe mode please
See if you can get it to run
Does this computer have any file sharing programs installed?
Eg.. Limewire, kazaa

Can you do the following again for me
Right click on Hijackthis.exe and rename too something like
scanit.exe

Try running scanit.exe (hijackthis) again

If that won't work, can you try downloading an older version of hijackthis from
This link, unzip it too a different folder you have hijackthis 1.99.1 to
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis1982.zip (http://\"http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis1982.zip\")
Try running this version of Hijackthis

Also, can you go here
http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ (http://\"http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/\")
Download and save
Find File Information
Unzip the contents too desktop

Double click to run
FindFileinfo.vbs
Input
* at the first prompt box
Then enter
cmd
in the second prompt box

Let it finish searching, can you post the contents back here

What scanners do you have on this computer
Eg.. What AntiVirus software
Any antispyware programs?

I have renamed the current version of highjack on the computer and tryed to run it but it didnt work. then i tryed downloading an older version of highjack this but i still got the "unexpected error" error and i cant get the find file information (3 mb) software onto the other computer because it is to big for a disk, i cant get to anyweb page on that computer and the network is not working.

X out and save the changes
Right click on the text document on desktop and rename it too
FileInfo.vbs

Then follow my instructions to run it earlier and post the contents

EDIT::
I assume you also have combofix.exe on the desktop when your running it
Don't try running it from a floppy or similiar
If it is on desktop and won't run
Do the following and let me know if you get any results
Ensure Combofix is on the desktop
Go to START>>RUN
Type the following in exactly as I have posted in bold
below and then hit OK

"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /admin /f3m

Notice the spaces when required

Another EDIT
Combofix has been updated to fix some bugs
Can you delete your copy from desktop
Also delete this folder if found
c:\sUBs and then redownload it from here please
Combofix.exe (http://\"http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/combofix.exe\")
Title: High jack this, network and direct internet connection doesnt work
Post by: jen3ca on October 15, 2006, 02:57:19 PM
i found the very very small download for the findfileinfo.vb script: c:\windows\desktop\fileinfo.vbs
Line: 60
Char:3
Error: Library not registered
Code: 800280D"
i also tried using the one i created and it came back with the same error. After doing that i deleted combofix.exe but i couldnt find the folder you told me to delete. i put the new version of combofix.exe onto the desktop and it still came back with the error "Error!! cmd.exe is not present" so then i ran the run command you told me to and it came back saying. cannot find "%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /admin /f3m (or one of its components) Make sure the path and file name are correct and that all required libraries are available. I figured this was because of the %userprofile% so i changed that to "C:\windows\desktop..." and left the rest of the run command the same. when i did this i got the error "ERROR!! cmd.exe is not present.

just ask if you need me to explain any of this over again (hopefully i havnt confussed you) thanks again for the help

Post by: guestolo on October 15, 2006, 03:10:01 PM
Can you right click on FileInfo.vbs and choose EDIT
I suspect that you included the word CODE from the code box
You must delete that from the .vbs file
as I mentioned earlier
Quote
Copy>>>PASTE the whole contents of the code box to it and save the changes
Don't include the word "code"

Don't try running any of these tools from a floppy, etc...
Does this user account your using have Administrative privileges?
Is it the only user on the computer?

If you still can't get FileInfo.vbs to run
On the XP machine
Right click an empty spot on desktop and select NEW>>Text document
Name the file
find.bat
Allow the change of extension at the prompt

Right click on find.bat and choose EDIT
Type the following in bold below Exactly as I have posted

dir %Systemdrive%\cmd.exe /a h /s > files.txt
start notepad files.txt


Close find.bat and allow to save changes
Double click on find.bat, wait for it to finish it's scan and post back here the whole contents of the notepad file that opens

Also, you may need to update some needed windows files
Can you download this file from Microsoft
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb6.../vbrun60sp5.exe (http://\"http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/Redist/sp5/WIN98Me/EN-US/vbrun60sp5.exe\")
Save the installer to desktop
Double click to install and follow the prompts
Does that help you out with fileinfo.vbs and Hijackthis?
Title: High jack this, network and direct internet connection doesnt work
Post by: jen3ca on October 15, 2006, 04:28:14 PM
i ran all the files from the desktop not the a:\ like you seem to think i did. I know a little about programming and trust me i didnt put the word CODE into the file, yes it does have administrative purposes. I ran the program you gave me and it said "to many parameter - h" So when it popped the .txt file up it showed nothing. The updates you gave me fixed highjack this but not combo fix.exe heres the high jack this log

I thought we were working on an XP machine, that is the biggest problem
Combofix isn't compatible with Win98

Are you sure that's the whole log from Hijackthis?
You seem to of cut off the whole bottom part of it

Title: High jack this, network and direct internet connection doesnt work
Post by: guestolo on October 15, 2006, 08:38:40 PM
I remember awhile back you had this same problem, probably with the same computer
Are you willing to try again
Try a direct connection to the modem

Here's what you did before
You removed ICS from add/remove programs components
Quote
im back online on the other computer that i have been working on
i got back online by uninstalling the ics then uninstalled and then reinstalled the modem
after that i ran the winsock2fix and now my computer is back online

Try the  link to Winsockfix (http://\"http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257\")

thank you for the help, it is now working again but it is extremely slow anyway of fixing this?
Title: High jack this, network and direct internet connection doesnt work
Post by: guestolo on October 15, 2006, 10:21:59 PM
Can I ask the following
Did you have Norton's AV installed
Do you still need LiveUpdate installed in Add/remove programs

If not remove it please

Also, when you installed
CCleaner, did it install the Yahoo Toolbar,
did you knowing install the Yahoo toobar?

If not uninstall it>>I've found some have had problems with it, so I'm just checking
If you remove any of the above, reboot your computer please

What is slow? the computer or the internet?

By the way, that startup list you posted by Hijackthis was one ran with only using the default options

Can you try this again
Open Hijackthis>>Open Misc tools section
Beside 'Generate a Staruplist'
Check the following
List all minor sections(full)
and
List empty sections(complete)


AFTERWARDS click the button Generate a Staruplist
Click Yes to the prompt
A text file will open
Copy>>Paste back here the whole contents please

Are you controlling any entries on startup with msconfig?
If you are can you enable Everything on startup, reboot and post a fresh hijackthis log

Is Avast running properly?
I noticed that I don't see the running processes I should see

i had the network working last night but now its not working i did everything you told me to above and it quit working i did nothing that should have made it quit running. in msconfig it was set at selective startup no idea why so i switched it back to normal setup, i uninstalled live update since we dont use it anymore and tryed uninstall yahoo toolbar it told me that it couldn't uninstall it because it needed a log.txt file that was missing or some stupid thing, it still disappeared off the add/remove programs list anyway i did what you told me to to get the startup list and here is a new one.

The startup list still shows as using the default options
Not to worry about that right now

If you sure that everything is enabled under Startup in msconfig and have rebooted the computer
Can I see a fresh hijackhthis log please

It could of been Avast causing problems with the Internet, I'm not sure
But it does have Network and Web Shield that may cause problems if not registered

I haven't had dialup in years
You had it running properly after removing ics and rebooting the computer?
It appears you did at one time

I assume that once you remove ICS, you rebooted
Then run Winsock and reboot again
Is that what you did?

You can manually try and remove dialup networking
NOTE: These troubleshooting tips may prompt you for your Windows 95/98 CD.
Please have this CD ready before trying these tips.
Reinstalling Network Protocols/Adapters
It is possible for your computer's Dial-up Networking settings to become corrupted. The following step will guide you through re-installation. If you use VPN (Virtual Private Networking), the following steps will also remove the VPN functionality.

   1. Go Start, Settings, Control Panel
   2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
   3. Click the Windows Setup tab.
   4. Find the Communications group, and click Details
   5. Uncheck the checkbox to the left of "Dial-Up Networking".
   6. Click OK. (Click OK to any dialog boxes that may pop up)
   7. Click Apply.
   8. Re-check the checkbox to the left of "Dial-Up Networking" (If you need to reinstall VPN, please check the appropriate item in the list now)
   9. Restart when prompted.
