OK, booted in safe mode,clicked Sysclean.com got:
Win32-If you run a text based prog in safe mode you risk corruption of video
display etc. Clicked OK anyway, got Pattern File LPT$VPN missing please
download. I realized I had recently downloaded another instance of sysclean
and tried that one with same warning and then Required file TSC.BIN is
missing. I can only visit websites that I have the IP address (tcp/ip restack
I'm told) so maybe sysclean needs to access it's own website. Still reading?
I have decided to reformat and reinstall ME. I do have a few questions about
that - do I start a new topic for that? I will do a search in this discussion
group first. Thank you.
