ndisuio.sys downloading?

Click start>run> type in cmd, that will bring up a window that looks like DOS. At the blinking curser, type chkdsk /f.

the type of the file system is FAT32
cannot lock current drive

chkdsk cannot run becouse the valume is in use by another process.
would you like to scheduale this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts?

It just checks to see if any errors on the disk.

That site must be off and on today, the first time I went there to copy the link it was down, was back up in a few minutes.

Try this with your XP CD.

Put the CD in and click "exit set up". Then start>run> type in sfc /scannow (leave space between c and slash).

This will verify that all protected Windows files are intact and in their original version.

Hope something works. Just few things I've picked up while learning about XP.

You're right about the memory...XP is a resource hog. I learned the hard way that XP needs 512MB RAM. Between the spyware and XP, there's not much left for anything else and it will run slow.

You might be better off to do a clean install to get rid of the junk and speed things up.

See if you can get to that site I left a link for. There are a lot of things you can disable in XP to free up resources. I had to do that using 256MB RAM. It's usually more time consuming to chase a problem than doing a clean install.

Crazy, this topic just hit 2000 views! I hope it's at least helping people.

I get over 10 google searches per day that lead here! Well it's first result if you type it in. That's pretty cool.

We have no way of knowing, since kenshin didn't report back here.

troubles with overinstalling win9x with winxp upgrades have been many. it is not being recomended that you do this.

as it will mostly pick the same file format as the os your upgrading and if that is fat 32 you get all the trouble that has.

best to do a clean install of winxp with the ntsf file format, on a mb and cpu that can handle it.

amount of ram needed by winxp to use for its own use is about 150mbs of ram. so minimum ram needed by a xp system is 196 mbs and that will let you use note pad and wordpad. to do anything else you will need more ram

i have been having trouble with a certian game by ms. it has made me test and find out what ram is needed for use with win xp and huge 3d games.

the system i have is dell dimension with 2.35 gbz pent 4 cpu, maxtor 80gb hd. 512front side bus, 768mb's of rdram.

and i had 300 mb's of swapfile set up. the game was crashing everytime it tried to clear ram of the files and put them in the swap file. i fianly got an error message that said something

that was a shocker. but it said my computer had run out of swap file and would need rebooted after it corrected the trouble in order to use the larger swap file. and it upped it to 400 mb's and it still crashed then it recomended that i set the swap file to 1150 mb's i have not had any trouble now as i have upped it to 1200 mb's for the swap file.

so what i am saying with all that is that the trouble might be the size of the swapfile for some programs. as winxp has unlimited system resources. unlike win9x having system resources set on a chip on the mother board. winxp uses your ram for system resources and it will use it all if needed.

Interesting... I wonder why it was downloading so much data in kenshin's situation though.

If kenshin removed 130 spyware files, no telling what's still there. Some of that junk gets so embedded in the system it may have to be removed manually. Plus, he said he didn't want to get rid of Wild Tangent.

there is a added benifit to useing more then one spyware detecting program.

kevin on the screensavers at techtv the other week did review of different programs free and purchess versions of all the ones he could find.

he found that if you buy the ad watch from the ad aware people it did not work and he said to use the free adaware as that did work.

he did say to get spybot search and destroy free version or the purchess one. both worked.

he said he found that ad aware's free version found some things that spybot s&d could not find and that spybot s&d found some things that ad aware could not find.

so running both would be more benifical then using one.

I also have and use the free verison of " Swatit " trojon and bot remover from the millinuim lockdown comapny it is good as it only looks for trojons and bots.

This is a good, free program to keep spyware from being loaded on your pc.

the file you speak of[ ndis] blah blah blha user i/o driver blah blah blah is the wireless zero config service in you local services its for wireless roUters N mice and such, disable that service, the driveR goes away and the packets you see that are being downloaded and goin nowhere are rf packets such as 811-b so forth etc blah blah blah

the file really known as ndisuio.sys or ndis,user i/o driver its a basic part of the nt kernel and cannot be deleted or removed and has nothing to do with downloading sp2 its just a mini port that is used for wireless products and bluetooth
have fun you are not being HACKED THAT IS UNLESS YA HAVE A COLD

I dont have wireless ANYTHING, and I still have that file trying to do stuff.
I also JUST did a fresh install of XP less than 3 hours ago and havent used any web sites other than Soyo, HP, and Epson. (And of course Google, to find this site)

And Im constantly seeing this ndisuio.sys trying to get by my firewall.
