2nd problem

Please insert your CDROM with the virtual truck program. Looking for file
E:\installs\xp\vtruck.exe

does anyone have any idea what that might be?

3 prob
on windows start-up windows messenger pops up and says in order to continue u must install a newer version. Do this now?
then yes and no asnwer

how can this be removed?

4 prob
when i open msn 6.2 the windows messenger opens too

any way i can disable this?


tnx
waitin for the solutions

u have to upgrade msn 6.2 as it has the .pif security hole.

u can  uninstall windows messenger or disable it from running at startup.

vtruck.exe? if that isnt a needed system file maybe you could uninstall it from add/remove programs or delete some registry telling the computer to find it from the cd at startup ....(BE CAREFUL WITH THE REGISTRY)

where can i get the upgraded 6.2?

Look in the start up folder in the start menu for a program called virtual truck, if its there then delete the shortcut to it. Other wise check in these registary keys:
