Sounds to me like player.exe is still there and hiding. Did you do the:

Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator, Continue. Type with an Enter after each line:

cd "\program files\apoint"

attrib -r -h -s *.exe

dir /a *.exe




(Do you see player.exe ? If so see if you can submit it now. If not let's see if it is really there but hiding)

mkdir player.exe



Does it create the folder or say that it can't because there is already a folder or file of the same name?

Well, the file already exists. But after making that player.exe folder, I'd reckon it's that...

You can't change a file into a folder. You have to delete the file first then make a folder of the same name. If it let's you make the folder then the file is not there.

It must be a mistake in the drive table.

1. Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk that you want to check. C:
2. Click Properties, and then click Tools.
3. Under Error-checking, click Check Now. A dialog box that shows the Check disk options is displayed,
4. Check both boxes and then click Start.
You will receive the following message:
The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files can be accessed by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time you restart the computer?
Click Yes to schedule the disk check.

Reboot. The disk check will run and will probably take an hour or more to finish.

Then run sigverif and see if it still sees player.exe.

The file is part of Alps Pointing-device Driver so you may want to try redownloading and installing the driver for the Alps Pointing-device.

Everything seems great! :)

Now my time is messed up, and I can't update my internet time sync. If I press update now, it says "An error occurred, your changes changes could not be saved"

Open regedit and make sure that you have "Full Control" permissions to these keys (right click each key, Permissions, then select Adminstrators):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers

right click and Paste or Edit then Paste and the copied lines should appear. Hit Enter. If you see an error please report it.

reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime /s >> \junk.txt

Attached is a file called w32sec.zip. Download and save it then right click on it and Extract All. Find w32sec.reg and right click on it and Merge.

This should replace the missing security info. Perhaps now it will work?
