appcompat.txt error, closing IE

Postby Sjmacewan » Tue Nov 23, 2004 2:15 am

I'm very new to the site and am not sure if this is in the right forum but i need help!
I'm not even good with hijackthis but i figured i'd need a log here.
When i open up some programs, mostly IE, an error comes up saying it needs to be closed, it says in there somewheres that appcompat.txt is part of the problem.
I'd REALLY some help here as it's hard to stay on IE long enuf to right!

Welcome aboard. Here are a few things you can do.

First, download Adaware and Spybot's Search and destroy. Run them and have them fix everything they find.

Next, go to windowsupdate site and update your OS with all critical updates from Microsoft.

Finally, download the latest version of HiJackThis and post a log. Instead of running it from here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Desktop\Misc\InstallationFiles\HijackThis.exe

Run it from somewhere like here:

C:\HJT\HijackThis.ex
(\__/) This is Bunny.
(='.'=) Copy and paste bunny into your sig.
(")_(") Help Bunny gain World Domination.

i just got that version of hijackthis yesterday, i saved it in that folder there...it shouldn't make a difference.
I have both of those programs, and ran AdAware moments before taking the log, but i'll do it again and post soon

Press Ctrl/Alt/Del and "End Task" or "End Process" on each of the following:

msnappau.exe
ICM.EXE
CORK.EXE

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.)
(This would also include the “GoBack” Program if it is installed.)
Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:
