    Hi DPDISXR4Ti,



    Do you have another antivirus program installed? That is the most common reason for serious problems after installation of Ad-Aware 10.



    I suggest that you start Windows in Safe mode by tapping F8 key repeatedly during the start and selecting [b]Safe mode[/b] in the menu, see [url="http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx"]http://www.microsoft...t_failsafe.mspx[/url]. Then use the special file that LS Sharon posted in [url="http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?/topic/32317-ad-aware-10-killed-2-computers-need-help-with-uninstalling/page__view__findpost__p__134961"]http://www.lavasofts...post__p__134961[/url] to be able to uninstall Ad-Aware in safe mode. Transfer the file from a computer with working internet connection to the Dell D630 with the help of a flash drive, CD disc etc.

    Thanks for the response Cecilia. I do have MSE installed and running on the D630. Thinking I need to pick one or the other?



    I'll try what you've suggested tomorrow and report back.



    Thanks again

    You are welcome, DPDISXR4Ti /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



    Yes, either Ad-Aware 10 or MSE. Personally I think your computer is better protected with Ad-Aware 10, but the decision is yours.



    Another possible solution, that probably is easier if it works, is to do a system restore to a date before the installation of Ad-Aware in safe mode.

    But I'm not sure now if that permanently rolled it back, or just for the currently executed start-up. Just wondering if I still need to execute the restore instructions you've suggested above, or if it's already happened auto-magically by making the selection I did. Again, appreciate your help here very much.

    I'll answer my own question here. Indeed it does appear that the roll-back was permanent, and upon re-boot everything sorta came up normally - I did encounter a lock-up that required a hard reset, but on "re-re-boot" things seemed more stabe. I was then able to uninstall Adaware 10 using the "regular" built-in uninstaller and that seemed to go fine. I presume there's no reason to do anything further at this point - no residual stuff hanging on I should be concerned with?

    Thanks Cecilia- I was able to boot-up by selecting the option of running the last known good start-up, or whatever that option is called from the safe-mode start-up screen. So it's not really in safe mode right now - just sorta rolled-back I guess.

    You are welcome, Brad /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



    I'm glad that you seem to have solved the problem yourself. I'm not sure how much "Last known good" restores. If you want, I can check if there are any left-overs of Ad-Aware 10. Save DDS to your desktop: [url="http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr"]http://download.blee...om/sUBs/dds.scr[/url]



    Double-click on the DDS tool to run it.



    When finished, DDS will open two (2) logs:

    1. DDS.txt

    2. Attach.txt



    Save them to your desktop and paste the content of DDS.txt into your answer. Attach.txt isn't necessary in this case.

    Thanks for the ongoing help Cecilia. I didn't get past the first instruction above. Am I supposed to be entering the same exact command twice?



    I went ahead and executed it any way. First time I get a status of the service indicating it is in a "stopped" state.



    Executing it right away again, I get the following message:

    [SC] ControlServce Failed 1062:

    The service has not been started



    I'll wait until continuing further until I hear back from you.

    Find "Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service" in the list. Double-click it and change the start method to disabled.

    Repeat with "Lavasoft Kernexplorer".



    It is still possible to use Ad-Aware 9.6, if you want to. You can download it from FileHippo.

    -----------------------------------

    Some safety recommendations:



    You have an old version of Java installed and it has known vulnerabilities. That makes it easy to infect the computer from a web page. I recommend you to uninstall it and, if really needed, install the latest from http://www.java.com/

    Check the plug-ins in Firefox on http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/



    FF - prefs.js: browser.search.defaulturl - hxxp://search.conduit.com/ResultsExt.aspx?ctid=CT2645238&SearchSource=3&q={searchTerms}

    That means that Firefox performs certain searches using conduit.com, which is not considered to be a trusted web site. To change it write:



    about:config



    in the address field of Firefox.

    In the displayed list find "browser.search.defaulturl", right-click it and select restore.



    Trusted Zone: attachmate.com

    Trusted Zone: netiq.com

    Trusted Zone: netiq.corp

    Trusted Zone: attachmate.com

    Trusted Zone: netiq.com

    Trusted Zone: netiq.corp

    Is it really necessary to have those sites as trusted in Internet Explorer?

    Web sites in the trusted zone bypass a lot of the security in Internet Explorer and that can be dangerous if, for example, they get a malicious ad from an ads company (happens now and then).

    It actually is NOT necessary to have those sites as trusted any more (old employer). The only possible caveat, and I don't think it's an issue, but when I first logon I have to select the "NetIQUS" domain, even though I'm not really connecting to it - I'm just logging into my laptop. If I try to logon to "this computer" I get a password error. I imagine there's a way to "fix" this, I've just never bothered since it doesn't effect anything.



    Any way, I don't think this would be a factor in what you're going to suggest, but just figured I'd point it out in case I'm figuring wrong. And while it's a little off-track for this thread/forum, if you have suggestions on how to change my logon so it's just my personal one, feel free. /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

    Yes, "reset" seems al-right. I have Firefox in Swedish, usually it works well to translate the used terms but sometimes the most common translation isn't used.



    If you don't visit the web sites in the trusted zone any more, it doesn't matter.

    Okay, reset that line in Firefox and deleted the web sites from trusted zones in IE.



    The only lingering issue I have is that none of my USB ports work. I can't be certain that it's in any way tied to the Ad-Aware upgrade, but it did seem to occur at the same time. I don't think we're going to solve that here (unless there is some known issue), but I'll provide a link to a tech forum where I've been trying to solve that just in case someone else comes across the same problem.... http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/1060670-usb-ports-no-longer-recognized.html

    I haven't seen anything about USB ports that don't work in the forum.



    Have you checked if the inf folder is located within a sub folder of C:\Windows? Maybe it has another location in XP than in Vista and Windows 7.

    [/quote]

    A thumb-drive and camera is what I've been using to test for USB connectivity after I try something. Dead as a doorstop in all instances.



    Oddly, I wasn't able to see the inf folder using Explorer, but doing a search for the file it does let me in to a folder called inf and indeed there is a file there called usbstor.inf. Here's is the contents...

    Don't spend too much time studying the above dump. In the mean time I found what was supposed to be an original copy of the file contents so I saved that out in place of what was there, full shut-down and re-start.... Same story, nothing from my USB ports.

    Sorry, I don't know how to interpret that file. It was only to help you continue in the other forum. If nothing turns up in Device Manager when you connect an USB device, it is possible that is a hardware fault.

    I can't imagine that it's a hardware fault Cecilia. Between the two on the docking station and the two on the laptop itself, I've got FOUR USB ports. They all worked previously; now none of them work. I'm getting close to just giving up.

    Thanks for the help Peter.



    Okay, first the short version... I went to the Dell site and was able to download and run Notebook System Software, as suggested on page 13 as referenced above. Shut down, booted up, no change.







    Longer version - two things...

    1) Although I was able to download and install NSS, I did have one odd error message along the way...

    16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

    C:\DOCUME~1\AnesiB\APPLIC~1\SMBIOSSP.exe

    C:\PROGRA~1\\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL An installable Virtual Device Driver failed Dll initialization. Choose "Close" to terminate the application

    I initially thought it was going to stop right there, but I was able to continue along after that and everything seemed to go fine.



    2)Going to the Dell support site, you are able to enter either your service tag# and/or execute an auto-detect from the Dell site. Either way, you are then prompted to "Initilize the Dell Driver Analyze Utility", which I did (a few times now).



    The utility briefly runs until displaying this message...

    Apparently there was/is, though I don't recall that being the case. I did go through the uninstall process, but that same error message persisted when I ran Dell NSS.

    Thanks very much for the ideas Peter. I just went through everything from the above link. The first 3 "easy fixes" were of no use. Some of them I had done before, but I went through all three any way.



    So then I go to this one, the more "advanced" one...



    This section is intended for an advanced computer user.



    You can disable the USB Selective Suspend feature as a workaround by editing the registry. The USB device may become unresponsive because of a race condition in the Selective Suspend feature. The Selective Suspend feature suspends the USB device to efficiently maintain battery power by enabling the computer to turn off the USB device. However, sometimes this feature may not correctly wake up the USB device. Therefore, the USB device is unresponsive when you try to use it.



    You might want to disable this feature for server products where power management is not important or required.



    [b]Important[/b] This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    [url="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756"]322756[/url] How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    To disable the Selective Suspend feature, follow these steps:[list=1]

    [*]Click [b]Start[/b], and then click [b]Run[/b].



    [b]Note[/b] If you are running Windows Vista, click [b]Start[/b], and then use the [b]Start Search[/b] box.

    [*]Type regedit, and then click [b]OK[/b]. Registry Editor opens.

    [*]Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    [b]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\USB[/b]

    [*]If the [b]DisableSelectiveSuspend[/b] registry entry is present, double-click it. If it is not present, create the entry. To create the entry, follow these steps:

    [list=1]

    [*]On the [b]Edit[/b] menu, point to [b]New[/b], and then click [b]DWORD[/b].

    [*]Type DisableSelectiveSuspend, and then press ENTER.

    [*]On the [b]Edit[/b] menu, click [b]Modify[/b].

    [/list] [*]In the Value data field, type 1 to disable the Selective Suspend feature, and then click [b]OK[/b].

    [/list]

    ----------------------------

    Note step 3. I am able to navigate all the way down to the Services directory, but there is no file or directory under that named simply "USB". There are eight sub-directories starting out "USB....", but neither a file or directory named USB.

    I don't know if this is significant or not.



    I'll stop here and maybe look into some of your other suggestions tomorrow Peter, unless this turns out to be our smoking gun.

    Brad, just be very careful with the registry. One mistake can corrupt it. The other problem could be a corruption of one of your system file/s. Have you run " sfc /scannow " without the quotes from your run position in XP? The inf file that you touched is part of your hidden system files and may be corrupt.



    I have attached two (2) files. One is a snapshot of my registry residing on my XP machine and shows the USB registry entries. The other one is a text file which is the actual entry of the USB entry in the registry. If you are confident you can change the file extension from 'txt' to 'reg' and you are then able to copy it into your registry by double clicking on it. That is your decision and I can't guarantee a fix.
