    I ran combo fix and it didn't reset the clock to standard time, is this indicative of an infection or just a glich and how do I reset it? thanks, James

    This normally only happens when ComoFix does not run all the way thru to completion. Is it running all the way and rebooting and producing the C:\ComboFix.txt log?


    You can fix your clock from Control Panel ->Regional and Language Options and then on the Regional Options tab click the Customize button then on the next form click the Time tab. Then change the Time format to what you want. It explains there what the lower case and upper case letters will do. Upper case H is giving you 24 hour clock settings.

    No it's not rebooting, it gets all the way to the point where it says it will post log and wait for popup but it doesn't pop. Neither does it post the the text file on c drive it just disappears and leaves the clock millitary style.

    Yes but this means that it is not running all the way to completion.

    Are you having malware problems? Are you running the READ & RUN ME? If yes, then complete all steps and attach the logs you are able to get. Also explain your problems.

    I have vista on the machine, I've followed your Read & Run Me to the letter on several machines for other users (all XP) and mine. I did as the vista segment instructed and found 2 Med level items. After running the whole gammit, it was then that I realized the clock hadn't reset and after talking to you, I now realize no text doc was produced. Combo ran all the way to #38 on the list then shuts down.
    I run Tweek VI with this vista system and I'm wondering if the auto tweeks cause certain effects like the printer drivers dropping at one point and then the HP display drivers and diagnostic programs (resolved by utilizing digital ports?). Tweek VI has a function to toggle UAC off also. I hated Vista from the start and have had major problems.

    Velocity Micro is the machine, it seems like quality hardware I just wish it was loaded with XP or some awesome hybrid you guy's invented

    Hey, thats a great idea.!!

    Put together the ulitimate instalation disk including all your favorit tweeks and schematics on how to partition it for the best install. Since you guys know what makes the best operational compatabillity you could design the ultimate package with all the devices fully integrated and functioning to optimal performance. Slimmed down to just what is needed, the best, already registry optimized taylored to any machine. OK I'm dreamin.

    My computer in question is at my smoothie shop, I'll send the info tomorrow. Thanks. Sincerely James. www.pulsejuiceandsmoothies.com

    Okay if you are having malware problems attach the logs but I do not see where you mentioned any malware problems that you need help with.
