crazy dialog box

[overclocker]

Hi
I jest removed a lot of spy ware, but now I got a window that says {TouchED Error Retrieval of “THotkey” failed. Error code – 0x00031402, 0x00000002}. The problem isn’t that the keys can not be used now (I never use them anyway) it’s that I don’t need to know every time I logon, help is welcome.

Maybe when you removed all that spyware, etc you removed something important.

Thax, but not the Q. I donÂ’t want to see the box.

Your spyware app removed a program (or registry key) that was needed (by the spyware most likely). Try a search for THotKey and see what turns up.

Also, if you used a good spyware removal program, you should have a quaranteen cache of the stuff removed. If you do, restore it all, and see if that makes the message go away. Once you're back to square one, you can proceed with the spyware removal more methodically.

Also, if it is removed spyware that's causing the problem, you might try running msconfig and seeing if there are any odd programs in your startup tab.

searched for THotKey and got "00THotkey.exe.manifest, 00THotkey" in the system32 folder and "00THOTKEY.EXE-1F6713CC.pf" in the C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch, as for restoring it all that was deleted after my scan.

nothing out of the ordinary in msconfig

Search the WEB for the error.

Last time I knew, THotKey.exe was a hotkey program from Toshiba .........
