I tried using HijackThis on the customer's computer this morning. IT WORKS!
From the internal memo I wrote this morning for my company:
"A sprinks hijack is confirmed by the presence of the following files:
c:\windows\system\msinfosys.dll
c:\program files\primesoft

MitchCumstein,
I had a look at that registry entry you mentioned, however changing it has no effect whatsoever on my machine. I even tried changing the string to the sprinks site and it still redirected me to ninemsn on page errors.
I wonder what is the use of a registry key that does nothing...
Try looking at this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
In there you'll find a whole bunch of stuff that runs at startup.
You might find the programs in question listed here in which case the string name might give you a clue as to what the program...
I wouldn't say it's a "virtual memory problem" as such. I would hazard a guess that autocad has had something else damage it or a windows component that autocad uses. Probably coincidence that it happened now.
Try re-installing autocad over the top. If that doesn't work try...
If you don't have the Win98 CD, all may not be lost. Generally the files will still be somewhere on the hard drive, most likely in the locations where the setup program wants to copy them. Now, the way to get around your problem is this: When the setup program asks for the disk, click details...

I've had good look through the BIOS - no options for...
Shmoes,
It happens when you try to connect to any webpage which gives you an error like 404 or Auth Req.
braddds,
I've had a look at HijackThis based on your recommendation, I might try this util onsite when I can get out there, thanks.
Pennanti,
Thanks for your reply, a lot of other people...
I've got a customer who is running IE6 on Win98SE. Whenever his browser cannot load the page for whatever reason (404 or Auth Req. etc) he is redirected to a search page called sprinks.com. I've looked everywhere on his system (registry, run ad-aware etc) but cannot find what is doing this. Any...
