dhkimboa · September 17th, 2002

Mhh... I got similar problems when both, the MS msg and my Iomega Zip are working together, I just disconnect my Zip and everything runs normal. I've got the latest Zip drivers installed. maybe MS and Iomega devices refuses to work together

dhkimboa · September 18th, 2002

hehe
but I'm afraid, Phoeninx, that i dont' have that iomega zips installed in my machine.
by the way, what's the for ?

Just terminate the unnecessary processes if you don't want them. You don't need rundll32.exe for Windows to function.

Esturk · September 19th, 2002

rundll32.... Doesn't that have something to do with running 32 bit DLL's or something? I know when I used to use Windows 98 and ME there was always at least 1 rundll32 running.

**Demigod** · September 19th, 2002

I think it was a required process for Windows 9x but it isn't required for Windows 2K/XP to function. I always shut it down along with other unnecessary processes. I think you need it to run certain programs but it'll call it when it needs it.

Esturk · September 19th, 2002

Yeah. That's what I was kinda thinking Demigod.

dhkimboa · September 19th, 2002

well, I now know why msn was executing
it was because of norton av 2003.... there's something called msn mesenger scanner.... wonder why is that for

Esturk · September 19th, 2002

Ah. Those damn Antivirus programs. I never find any use for them unless I suspect I may have gotten a virus. Only then will I install one and check for a virus or two.

dhkimboa · September 19th, 2002

You mean the zip?
the external device that allows you to use removable media as the zip disk that has a 100MB capacity, my sister needs it because she handles 50-70MB TIFF files.

dhkimboa · September 19th, 2002

:o
cool
I knew about " zip "

I was just wondering about imoega thing.
I guess it's the made or something like that :P

September 19th, 2002

yeah, iomega are the producers of the zip drive
they were quite popular before the cd-r was around

Esturk · September 19th, 2002

Can a Zip drive replace a Floppy drive and become A:\? I know they can be used as boot disks.

Alias · September 19th, 2002

I think it can yes, but it really depends on your motherboard settings.

dhkimboa · September 19th, 2002

yeah, you can set that zip to A:
if your computer is not ancient :P
