AUTOIT. ERROR LINE O (FILE C \WINDOWS \SYSTEM32\CTF/FIREWAL.EXE ) THEN GOES OFF ON A STRING OF LETTERS & NUMBERS. can someone give me insight on what has happened . looked for system restore or backup and there not in the toolbox. had another operating system , a barebones XP PRO that was loaded on another pc i used to run had the same setup. is this problem a need for a new clean boot . i'm in the learning stages of getting into programs and sure have the ability to learn more. seems my buddy thats been loading my friends and my own pc's is making a lil too much $$$ off us dumbasses. thanks for your feedback . |

Is he running Autoit? From the website for it, "AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the windows GUI and general scripting."

thanks for the help Rock . not sure if he's running autoit. will be back at his place later today and probably going to just take the pc back to other buddy for a scrub an reload of operating system. the links you provided are of some help but his system isn't set up properly anyhow. |

AutoIT is a (awesome) freeware utility. Probably someone (the friend that installed the pc) put a little tool on the pc, but didn't take the time to write it properly, hence the error. Check in taskmgr which program is running that shouldn't be running (normally this won't be with local/network service or system account, but with the user account). Kill the process and see if you still have the error. Check the startup folder in the start menu, the startup key in the registry and remove any entries to this tool. And of course make sure you have a virus scanner, firewall, antispam program installed :-) smokinsiggy schreef: > was using my buddys pc earlier today and it has some issues. it > appears that the last user didn't shutdwn properly . when i logged on > as admin. , window "End task" popped up momentarily . was so > fast didn't have chance to read what was running. anyhow after trying > to run firefox it will not open . window popped up on occasion saying > ALERT !
