I receive "A fatal exception OE has occured at 0028:C02A27A8 in VXD VWIN32(05) + 000012DO. The current application will be terminated....." This causes a problem with shutdown. What can I do?
I also have a CDRom player that will just not work. When I put a disk in the DVD player, it freezes everything up. My kids can't play their games, and I can't load the MSWord 2000 help disk (or any disk).
I frequently have to CtrlAlt-Delete to find that something is not responding. I don't recognize most of this stuff but I'm certain I did not acces it.
I have limited savvy for pc repair. Can you help and talk me through some of this?

Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

Thank you for answering and your help. I'll do this, but I'm not certain how to post the data. Will there be instructions?

Why does my blue envelope have a black dot on it? What does this signify? Also, how quickly can I expect review of my log?

[myasam]

Is anything happening with my post? I have not heard from anyone beyond my own replies. How long does this process take? I also hav another post on Hardware forum regarding not being able to use my CD-rom drive (E drive). Can someone please help me? I appreciate your time.

Let me know if I should do anything else. This has been a real journey for me as I'm not very good with terms, etc., and I'm not always certain I'm letting scans do the right thing. I appreciate your tremendous help.

Almost clean, just run HJT again and fix these two entries.

O3 - Toolbar: My &Web Search - {07B18EA9-A523-4961-B6BB-170DE4475CCA} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYWEBSEARCH\BAR\1.BIN\MWSBAR.DLL (file missing)
O3 - Toolbar: My &Search Bar - {014DA6C9-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10} - C:\PROGRAM FILES\MYSEARCH\BAR\1.BIN\S4BAR.DLL (file missing)

Reboot after the scan.

I'd suggest downloading ad-aware and spybot S&D especially if you have kids on the computer. Run these two programs often.

CLICK HERE to download Ad-aware
CLICK HERE to download Spybot S&D

Using Ad-aware: Open Ad-Aware and use the Check for updates now link. Download and accept the latest reference file. When finished click the Start button. When done scanning, the Abort button will change to Next. Click the Next button. Right-click in the Scanning Results window and click "Select all objects". Then click the "Next" button and confirm that you want to delete the selected entries.

Using Spybot S&D: Start Spybot S&D using the "Spybot-S&D (easy mode)" link from your Start menu . Click the Search for updates button, if any are found then click the Download Updates button. After all updates are downloaded, click the Check for problems button. When the scan is complete, place a check next to anything marked in red, then click the Fix selected problems button. You may need to run Spybot S&D multiple times to remove all infections.



How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster (it's free for personal use).

Download, run, check for updates, download updates, select all, protect against checked. All done. Check for updates every couple of weeks. If you have any errors running the program like a missing file see the link at the bottom of the javacool page.

I've done it all! And now I think I've got everything under control. Thank you so very much. I hope I don't need you again, but I know where to go if I do. You all are great!
