Black Screen

[Matasata]

Thank you guys for all the help in the past and future.

Here's what I have.....
Athlon 64 3000+ 939pin
Ati Raedon X850PE XT Pcie
1 gig ram
Windows XP home SP2

Ok, I was trying to get my network running. I have a Direcway 2 way system. (I know its crap, but its the best I can get where I live.) Well, the problem I was haveing was with ICS. While I could get the computers talking to each other I could not share the connection.

After awhile I just gave up. A friend of mine got me started back in EQ1 again and I transfered some files from the Dway computer to the one above. I use dial-up on that box so I can do the gameing thing. When loading EQ1 the patcher acted all funny killing my connection to the net without actually closeing it. I also installed the latest drivers for my vid card.

When I rebooted with the new drivers I would get past post etc, but before it would get to the "loading windows" screen (also before the refresh changes) it would stay on a black screen. The numberlock light on the keyboard would be stuck on and the only way to shut it off was the reset/power switch. The computer would reboot in safe mode and system restore would not fix the problem. I have also reinstalled windows a few times and I think I would have the problem when I installed the drivers. I just reinstalled windows again and I will try an older set of drivers to see.

Sorry for the long post, but I know you guys need as much info as possible

instead of reinstalling windows you could have tried a system restore. if you run into the problem again this time try a restore point first. check the IP address on the ICS computer. make sure the dialup connection is set to be shared in its properties. the IP should be 192.168.0.1

First thing I did was a system restore. A few actually.

It is the Direcway system I am trying to share , not the dial-up.

That all just background info though so you can see what I was doing when the problem happened.

Here is some new info. Ok, I downloaded the microsoft .net framework on the Direcway computer and transfered it over to the computer I am having problems with. It installed just fine on the new windows install. I also downloaded the most current drivers for my video card and transfered it over as well. When I am installing the vid drivers norton pops up on the Direcway computer and proudly reports there is the W32.Licum virus in the vid driver's file in my shared folder. The computer I am installing the drivers on froze up as well before completeing the install. I scaned the files before I transfered them.

It seems I had a rather bad viral infection. Could have swore I didn't but oh well I have it fixed thanks once again

Run a Hijackthis log for us, if you think it virus/spyware related.

 

[Matasata]

Here it is. I think it was some W32 worm thing that got me. My anti-virus seems to have it fixed though. Didnt know about the hijackthis before, but I ran one just in case.

I do not know. I am connected via earthlink on this box if that helps.
