I don't see any malware but there are a few things to fix.

Have you tried turning off the NVIDIA Firewall to install the updates? Maybe even turn off the AVG antivirus and try that way also.


Open Hijackthis and select Do a system scan only .

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

• O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
• O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BDAD1DAD-C946-4A17-ADC1-64B5B4FF55D0} - (no file)

Important: Close all windows except for Hijackthis and then click Fix checked .

Exit Hijackthis.

one thing i hav done which i didnt think was relevent....

my oem windows xp home edition disk, i hav used it on my brothers desktop, but used his product key, so i have only used the disk for the "download" and "instalation" and i dont think this has anything to do with it, but u guys know more ;) so any clue?

You can't use the same product key on two computers.

Please do the following:

1. Download this diagnostics tool MGADiag.exe and save this to your Desktop.
2. Double-click on MGADiag.exe and click Continue
3. When the program has finished, click on Copy
4. Post the results in your next reply.

You can't use the same product key on two computers.

i havnt, is u read what i put it states that i used "his product key"
from his laptop that broke
so all i used the disk for is to get the version.

does the rest of ur thread still apply to me?
thanks for helping x)

Run the MGADiag to be sure it is registered. If it isn't then that will explain the problems.

Have you read this thread? Is it relevant?

eekkkk second line =S

im thinking of buying a new os and reformating
coz i hav a problem with punkbuster too.

Welll.. there is another way of doing it, ermm it probably wont work but its worth a try, you can download your updates through microsofts website.

i did try having a look for a link, but i cant see it, but i am pretty certain there was a way.
