Default Registry help needed

SC Tom,

Yes, I'm looking into acquiring an Office 2000 CD (suggested on another
forum BTW). My AV program quarantines the file and a new one is generated
each time I try to open Mathcad (which then gets quarantined). I'd still
like to know what steps Windows takes to open a program though. Anyway
thanks for all your suggestions.

Have you tried deleting the file? Is it recreated later? If it'd protected
and won't let you delete it, you can use something like KillBox to get rid
of it.
I saw that same post. The only real solution I can think of is if you
could borrow an Office2000 disk set, reinstall it, then uninstall it
completely.

SC Tom,

Yes, thanks. I too searched the web and, for what it's worth, found the
following post on Tech Support Guy Forums "the temp file in question is a
digital rights management program from a company called Macrovision they
are the people who make the installer wizard that microsoft uses to
install its programs the file is some kind of clean up file that checks
to make sure you are using a legal copy of the program but for some
reason it is causing major disruptions in all sorts of programs
especially games.". My AV provider (Norton BTW) might be erring on the
side of caution on this one (as they should).

This symptom only surfaced after I tried to install Office 2007 and
failed to uninstall Office 2000 so I'm pretty suspicious that process had
something to do with it. I think my next step is to learn exactly what
Windows does when it opens a program.

A quick Google shows this filename has been around since at least 2007.
Most seem to think it's associated with installation or running programs.
Few seem to think it's malware.
You can try MalwareBytes http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and
SuperAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html and see
if they find anything.

SC Tom,

I don't have the Mathcad disk anymore so I cannot try your first
suggestion. I am leery about setting my AV program to ignore Mathcad
and its components. I ran msconfig and Office 2000 programs did not
show up in the start up tab (neither are they in the Run keys). One
other symptom that I forgot to mention is that every time this happens
Windows thinks there is a file system error and checks the disk for
consistency on start up.

Do you know of a malware/spyware newsgroup that I might poll about the
~f1d055.tmp file? I did submit it to my AV program provider but I don't
expect to hear back from them directly. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling MathCAD? Have you updated
your AV definitions and scanned the .tmp file again? Is there a
setting in your AV program to ignore MathCAD and its components?
If you run MSCONFIG, do any of the old O2000 files show up under the
startup tab? If so, uncheck them and see if that corrects the problem.

SC Tom,

Thanks for replying. I did as you suggested and that did help
somewhat. It cleared up the list of programs generated by "Add/Remove
Programs" utility in the Control Panel (however Office 2000 programs
still show up when I run msinfo32). It also enabled Outlook Express
to go to Office 2007 for spell checking (however I still have the
problem with opening Mathcad). Thanks again.

I just replaced Office 2000 SR-1 with Office Home & Student 2007.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the original install disc for Office
2000 SR-1
so I force uninstalled it (just the program files).

The symptoms I'm getting are with two programs, Outlook Express and
Mathcad.
With OE every time I send an e-mail I get an error message from
Windows
Installer saying it is trying to configure Office 2000 SR-1 (the
e-mail goes
through by the way) and with Mathcad I get a message from my
anti-virus
program saying it has quarantined a ~f1d055.tmp file and the
program fails
to open. Also, when I list programs on my machine Office 2000 SR-1
still
comes up. I suspect these problems are related to the registry and
would
like some advice as to what I need to change there. Thanks in
advance.
