"Fix IE Log.txt"....... Monday, June 21, 2004 02:51:08 PM
"Reg Save Log.txt"... Tuesday, October 05, 2004 05:06:32 PM
So, I don't see those are related. Mine has a different CRCValueName
value than yours, & it speaks of a different Registry key, with a
gobbledygook name. Also, "Trust Database" & "Trust Provider" are in the
name. Therefore, I must keep it private. Don't get too personal!
Well, I guess you are OK, if "Fix IE Log.txt" says so. BUT, it really
doesn't cure everything, & sometimes an over-install is necessary,-- NOT
that I see you need one, having boot four time w/o an error. Recently,
some folk are not getting an over-install to work, though.

I see Glee has answered that.
| Another file in "C:\Windows\" is ErrorLog.txt. It is dated today
I see you have answered that. It's ZoneAlarm.
| Wed Oct 20 09:36:00 CDT 2004 Proxy - IO Proxy Exception: DOT4_001
| (res_err_no_connection)
"IO Proxy Exception: DOT4_001" is the error descriptor or name. It's
meaning is: "(res_err_no_connection)", i.e., without being connected,
there can be no Input/Output. I think I'm safe in that interpretation.
| MY QUESTION IS: What processes create those files:
| "*.tmp"
Anything could. If they are not in "C:\Windows\Temp", then the folder
that does contain them is a clue to what it was created them. If indeed
they are in "C:\Windows\Temp", then...
Delete the contents of C:\Windows\TEMP. Delete contents only.
Under normal circumstances, C:\WINDOWS\TEMP can be cleared of
files/folders after a fresh boot. You need the fresh boot, because
something may be sitting there, waiting to "complete" an install. You
will likely have seen a message about it, though. Anyway, you should
know whether you've installed something since boot. Now, some files may
return after the delete. "WebPoolFileFile" is one. That will come back
next boot or when you run McAfee.
I have seen one poster who objected, saying one should browse through
those files, looking for .log's. He said it might be interesting to see
whether there is an error message or something inside. It was too late
for me by then.
Naturally, if you have actually installed something into TEMP, there
might be a Registry connection to it. Those, you need to un/re-install
elsewhere. Finally, I even saw a poster who had system files in there,
perhaps it was the Temporary Internet Files in there. That shouldn't be!
Well, to be certain, is C:\Windows\TEMP mentioned in any of these
Registry keys?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\She
ll Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Use
r Shell Folders
| " ErrorLog.txt"
You said: ZoneAlarm.
| "Reg Save Log.txt"
Seems to be a secret Windows log with secret numbers inside. Your were?
| and what do the messages in the log files indicate?
I believe I am safe in my interpretation, above.

|
| I don't know for sure what fixed it -- or if it is fixed. So far I
| have had only 4 complete trials over 2 days. That is a very small
| sample size, considering that hundreds of different combinations of
| factors can possibly occur.
|
| "C:\Windows\Fix IE Log.txt" seems to indicate a successful run.
|
| If Fix IE Log.txt found any errors it did not say so, but I don't know
| if it reports the problems or just fixes them.
|
| Another file is "Reg Save Log.txt" dated two minutes after
| FixIELog.txt. Its contents is:
| ValueName = HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,First Home
| Page
| CRCValueName = 3bdd6b017b35029e
|
|
| ANOTHER ISSUE:
| In searching in "C:\Windows\" for "Fix IE Log.txt" I sorted the file
| names alphabetically. I discovered that my "C:\Windows\" directory
| contains 905 files of the following type:
| (a few examples, all of size=0)
|
| ffe05f89_{D2866B06-FF2F-11D8-A704-E0C858C1C050}.tmp
| ffe19351_{C4803D04-95FE-11D8-A704-A08360C10000}.tmp
| ffe1d2c9_{0D00F585-91E3-11D8-A704-D04E5AC18484}.tmp
| ffe219c3_{BA574044-8E14-11D8-A704-E0805DC10171}.tmp
| ffe4deb5_{307E05E6-D4EE-11D8-A704-800D5CC10107}.tmp
| ffffe669_{96FCF446-33CA-11D8-A703-60A751C12700}.tmp
|
| That is only six of the nine hundred five files!
|
| The date-modified starts at 12/16/03 11:32AM and ends today 10/20/04
| 10:06AM, There were two such files at exactly that time.
|
| MORE:
| Another file in "C:\Windows\" is ErrorLog.txt. It is dated today
| 10/20/04 and has two entries for today -- although its entries go back
| to Sat Dec 20 14:54:28 CST 2003. All entries have the same error
| message:
|
| Wed Oct 20 09:36:00 CDT 2004 Proxy - IO Proxy Exception: DOT4_001
| (res_err_no_connection)
| Wed Oct 20 09:36:00 CDT 2004 Proxy - IO Proxy Exception: DOT4_001
| (res_err_no_connection)
|
| MY QUESTION IS: What processes create those files:
| "*.tmp"
| " ErrorLog.txt"
| "Reg Save Log.txt"
| and what do the messages in the log files indicate?
