Hi,

I get this error when trying to run systemrestorepoint.exe after I have unzipped the files. 0xc0000135

I have done everything else in the guide "Preventing malware and safe computing" http://www.geekstogo...ng-t225044.html

I am not using this guide to get rid of malware or anything, just trying to secure my pc for the future.

Also, on my parents computer I completed the dnsopenserver instructions and now every web site I go to...after it loads it says "the server was reset while the page was loading" Did I do something wrong? How do I fix that?

Could someone help me please?

Thanks,

Do this for the System Restore point

Now we need to create a new System Restore point.

Click Start Menu > Run > type (or copy and paste)

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

Press OK. Choose Create a Restore Point then click Next. Name it and click Create, when the confirmation screen shows the restore point has been created click Close.

Next goto Start Menu > Run > type

cleanmgr

Click OK, Disk Cleanup will open and start calculating the amount of space that can be freed, Once thats finished it will open the Disk Cleanup options screen, click the More Options tab then click Clean up on the system restore area and choose Yes at the confirmation window which will remove all the restore points except the one we just created.

To close Disk Cleanup and remove the Temporary Internet Files detected in the initial scan click OK then choose Yes on the confirmation window.



As for the other issue, I am not sure.

That was easy. Thanks a lot. How often should I create a restore point? Every Month? Or do you just do it that once?

Also, I have a question: I believe that applying to GeekU requires that I have started a Malware topic and have it resolved, moreover, what if I don't ever have to do that?

Can I not apply to GeekU or what other ways can I get into GeekU or whatever?

Thanks for everything, as usual, you guys do a great job.

[Rorschach112]

Create a system restore point whenever you feel is necessary, once a month sounds good to me. Windows will make some automatically itself anyway. Its just good to create a system restore point if you ever make any new changes to your PC so you can restore it if needed, and as a safety net in general


As for GeekU, there would be no issues with you applying. It says that people who have open Malware Removal topics cant, and as far as I see you don't have one, so go ahead and fill out the form.

[Ferrari]

Gotcha...I figured to just create a point whenever I make changes that I don't want to have to do all over again LOL. I see what you are saying.

As for GeekU, I will check it out...I love this stuff =) 29 years old and just found that out about 2 months ago.


Thanks for your help...hopefully someone else knows why after doing the dns thing that I'm being prompted with that message now.

See ya soon,

As for the other issue, I am not sure.

I am still having this problem. When I googled it, I found many others getting the same error. Some claim to fix it by going to about:config and changing ipv6 (or something lol) to true instead of false. Others say taking ad-blocking off from there security features fixed the problem. Another one was to create a new profile in firefox.

Changing the ipv6 to true didn't help.

I don't know if or how to take ad-blocking off from the securitys I have. They are AVG FREE, Ad-Aware, and SpybotSD-Windows Firewall.

I also tried creating a new profile from the guide in the how to guides section of this website, but when I would copy and paste that command in the "run" box it would just pull up a new browser window in firefox.

I also have done the dns thing on my laptop and I have noticed sometimes certain areas, where ads would be, it says "Connection Failed". But the rest of the site is there.

Let me know if you have any suggestions,

This is the second log I have put on here. Please look at my previous post. The first post is without the opendns settings applied. I forgot that I took them off. The second post is with them applied. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I am not sure if the opendsn thing is what has caused the problem, but this problem seemed to have start after I had done this...not the problem continues whether i have the settings applied or not.

Thanks,

Hello Ferrari,

With the OpenDNS applied I don't see any issues in the logs with reaching sites.
You say it shows you "the server was reset while the page was loading", Does the page still load?
Or does the page just show you that it can't find the server?

Regards,
Olrik

Edited by Artellos, 14 February 2009 - 04:43 PM.

[Ferrari]

The web site still loads, just gives me that prompt or error at the end of loading.

This is a Windows XP Home machine Its the Dell Dimension 2350 at the bottom of my signature.

Any suggestions...is it something wrong with the computers software? Hardware?

It is very annoying...you can't surf smoothly...this pops up every time you go to a page or another page within that website.


Thanks,

[Artellos]

Hey Ferrari,

Could you make a screenshot of it please?
That might shed some light to me as to what I'm dealing with

Regards,
Olrik

[Ferrari]

How do you make a screen shot?

[Artellos]

Hey Ferrari,

You press the Print Scrn button, then open Paint and press CTRL + V
Save the image as a .JPG file and upload it to something like Imageshack.

Regards,
Olrik

[Ferrari]

Umm...Paint is not there

I went into add/remove programs and clicked on windows compenents thinking somehow some of the "accessories" were unchecked but everything appears to be how it should. But there is no paint under the START >PROGRAMS >ACCESSORIES There is notepad, address book, etc...but no Paint.

Can we move on without the screenshot? Is there a way to get Paint on there?

Also, I think it may be important to let you know these problems started after doing the tasks on "Preventing Malware and Ensure Safe Computing" Guide. I assumed it was related to OpenDNS, but maybe something else caused it. It could even be a coincidence, not sure.

Just take a look at that guide and let me know if anything pops out at you that might of caused this error.

Also the error does not happen for geekstogo.com, but seems to happen on everything else. Myspace, geeks.com, facebook, newegg, craigslist, hotmail, etc.

This is how it looks. It is a grey rectangular box. Is says "Alert" in the top left corner. Then the message says..."The connection to the server was reset while loading this page". Before that statement there is a yellow triangle with an Exclamation point in it.


Let me know what to do...totally stumped on this one.
