this just started appearing in my event viewer when i start my computer.(win
xp,sp2.)
the following boot start or system driver failed to load SABKUTIL.
Can someone please tell me what the hell is sabkutil and how i can rectify
this annoyance.
thank-you.
 
I think it is something to do with this software.

Is it installed or was it installed on your computer?

Click to expand...

Run Regedit, press Home key, press F3, type sabkutil and press Enter.
When found, make sure it refers to the right file. If so, delete the
entry, then press F3 to continue the search.
 
Do the following:

1. Open Control Panel | System | Hardware | Device Manager
2. Click on View | Show Hidden Devices
3. Now look through the list for SABKUTIL

If you find it, Disable it ... test after reboot. If system still works and
message gone from Event Viewer, go back in and remove it.

If Control Panel | System .... won't let you remove it:

1. Open Regedit
2. Open Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services
3. Click on Services name
4. Top Menu: Edit | Find, enter SABKUTIL (search all categories Key,
Value, Data)
5. If found, right click on entry, Export it, right click again, Delete
6. Close regedit
7. Reboot

I would try the first option first, after the Disable, Reboot, try the
Uninstall ... just in case Windows does other things when Uninstalling
Device driver.
 
thankyou for the prompt and informative replies to my problem
ive done a system restore back to way before i installed/uninstalled the
superadblocker.now i get no message in event viewer and if i search ,i get no
mention of the offending article.so i can only presume it has gone,but once
again thank-you
