    Hi Guys Dutchmanns got another question for ya.

    Short of Add/Removing of Spybot v. 1.5.2.20 IS there anyway to disable the "Tea Timer" before I run the "READ AND RUN" for my XP SP2 with AVG 8.0? I noticed your warning "MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT LET THE TEATIMER BE INSTALLED!!!!" But it is already on my computer, so do I uninistall Sbot or is there a work around to turn T timer off for a while.

    ALSO : the main problem is
    Windows - No-Disk
    Exception Processing Message cOOOOO13, Parameters 75b6bfgc 4 75b6bfgc
    75b6bfgc

    Searched Geeks and got (steps) for Malware removal help with previous requests for this problem from chaslang and major attitude replies to others.
    Will work thru steps and send logs back to you.

    I got this after I updated to IE 7.0, Never had problems before that but, who knows what caused it. I put on AVG 8.0 after the fact so it did not find anything. All I know is if I have a Zip disk in while using my CD or DVD the message does not pop up. Must remember to remove and not to boot up to it though. If I have a CD in the ROM or DVD the message will be displayed. I was tempted to turn of IOMEGA zip disk thru MSCONFIG but I want to try to fix the problem not mask or hide it.

    ALSO: I believe M$ is aware of this problem See one of many so called fixes. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823613/en-us I may try this first too. Remove the IOMEGA from my system using Device Mgr and let Windows reinstall the zip drive on boot up. Could work will let you know.

    I will do your READ AND RUN steps after your reply for Tea timer disable or Add Remove and reinstall without tea timer if no work around is available from you.

    CC Cleaner has been done on on files and registry. No problems so far. Made a restore point and backed up the registry of course before running CC Cleaner.

    Thanks again guys. I love this place.

    PS. What happens if you run the Spybot clean up with the TEA TIMER installed and running? Just wondering...

    Dutchmann out...

    First Disable Spybot's TeaTimer as requested in the READ ME

    * Run Spybot and click Mode
    * Select Advanced Mode.
    * Then click Tools and select Resident.
    * Now in the right window pane, uncheck TeaTimer.
    * Also while this is open, in the left column now select IE Tweaks
    * and then in the right pane make sure all the Miscellaneous locks are unchecked.
    * Now quit Spybot!

    Now run the scans and attach the requested logs. :)
