Global Dialer was loaded on my computer and has been reeking havoc ever since. I am unable to get access to my control panel and various other programs on my comp. I've read other posts suggesting ways to fix the problem but all required a disk, which I dont have. Is there any other way to fix it? Global Dialer was deleted but every so often it will re-load itself on my comp, how can I fix that. Here is my logfile, and I'm running Windows ME. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

im using ME too Jesse got bigtime probs too i can get to the control panel but wont let me access the windows setup ill be watching for the answer too Greg

Greg, Has Global Dialer been installed on your computer? Is so have you been able to totally get rid of it? Hopefully we'll be able to fix this problem!!

Hello Jesse, Try and run the "SFC" procedure of windows system to determine if you have corrupted or damaged files : Just go to "Start", then "run", type "SFC" and follow the procedure, be ready to insert your Win ME CDrom if requested.... Windows will scan all your regitry and will attempt to repair it....

That's part of the problem, I cracked the CD-Rom awhile back. Is there any other way to repair the file without a disk? I tried to run SFC and got an error message saying "windows cannot find SFC". Also, when I try to open certain programs I get a message saying "Not a valid Win32 Application". I can't figure it out!!

SFC is not part of Windows ME, or at least it disappeared from my system when ME was installed. Dog

I'm not 100% sure but it looks like you have peper. Download and run Peper Removal and see if it gets rid of O4 - HKCU\..\Run:[jik0rpww5o]C:\WINDOWS\FGTUMOK7VW.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run:549oibau22]C:\WINDOWS\H2L1SBC3ED.exe these two lines in particular. It's a start. HTH Dog
