    Can anyone tell me what this is?

    %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k

    I have no idea
    I just ran Ad-Aware and Spybot, deleted everything checked (did not quarantine - could have been a big mistake) and then ran Trendmicro in safe mode - no viruses.

    But I must have SOMETHING because now I can only open Outlook in what it terms "safe mode"

    Upon reboot, my WINPATROL told me I had a "new program" and did I want to allow it acces to internet. I said NO. Then Messenger kept popping up. So I told it NO and "dont ask me again"

    Then I realized I could not get into Outlook without choosing the option to us Outlook Safe Mode (other option was "offline").

    So I went into MSCONFIG Start Up and REselected Messenger thinking that would solve the problem, but it did not.

    Guess I did too many things at one time.
    :rolleyes:
    Running Win-XP

    any ideas?

    Thanx

    I did that, no prob.
    Does that have anything to do with my Outlook Safe Mode issue?
    or Windows Messenger?

    or is that another problem?
