I have spent over 20 hours online trying to find this solution. You are THE
BEST! My CD drivers were not working and had Code 39 - I found the fix on
Microsoft support but I could not get into the registry to delete the
required keys. The link to fix the registry worked perfectly and I reloaded
the CD drivers. Now I will run the other spyware/parasite detectors you
recommended. I have virus scan software that runs all the time as well as
two different spyware detectors. Obviously, this is not enough! Thanks
again!
