Systray has vanished from my start-up. How can I get it back, and why did it go away? I have win98, (I know) I will be purchasing a new machine soon. Thanks for any help. AB |
Yes. I also have to keep refreshing because the web pages will not open, I can download nothing, I have tried to reply to this post 3 times and cannot get it to go. Mark my words, this computer will be a target soon! AB |

I've seen a system that had similar problems. He couldn't get to Control panel - it'd just wouldn't display it. Nor would anything work in the Run command line work, like MSCONFIG, etc...turned out that the system was really hosed with malware/trojans...needed a hard drive wipe and reinstall to get it working again. Hopefully you won't have to resort to that. Have you run Adaware, Spybot S&D, and TrojanHunter yet? If not, get them (free downloads- google the names), and run them. Report back on what you find. |

hmmm sounds like a Krugerware infestation. Another victim of "Cool Web Search" Backup any valuable data, cause you may have to nuke it. (write zeros, fdisk/format/reload) Or Try WindowsBBS.com - there is a cool web search shredder fix, but I'm not up on the details. |
