Two typos on my last posting. I should have written "slow to wake
from screensaver". Meaning when the screen saver is running and I move the mouse or hit the space bar, it takes a very long time to see the desk top. I'm not using bikini screen saver, I'm using Windows Aquarium.
I meant to say
Internt Explorer opens in small window, not Windows Explorer.
These are two minor details to me, I just included them in case they might help you in diagosing the problems.
I removed bikini twins screen saver using HJT per your instructions. GOOD BYE TWINS! Finally.
I could not find C:|windows\msgsetp.exe, either in windows explorer or by using "search".
Found and deleted C:\windows\system32\Bikini Twins.scr
Could not find c:\program files\MyGlobalSearch\bar\1.bin\M6FFXTBR.JAR
Removed c:\windows\unbik6
I then tried to install SP2, and part way through it stopped instalation and I received this message:
"Install Service Pack 2
Set up error
Failed to install catalog files
Select OK to undo the chanes that have been made"
I selected OK and received this message:
"Service Pack 2 instalation dod not complete. Windows XP has been partially updated and my not work properly."
I selected OK and the installation process stopped, but the computer seems to still be working OK. I rebooted to see if it would still work, and it does.
PROGRESS! before you started helping me, installing SP2 caused a blue screen crash. Thank You!
Here is a new HJT log.
Cheers
John
