OK Ill do it, Ill ask, is this a valid question or a sick joke? The only reason I ask is because we have users with especially nasty adware / infections, and corrupted stacks.
Is it by chance a fix you are looking for?

What did you come up with from your google searching?


Wait... What Game(s) are you playing that you are having a hard time with ?

You're not trying to install a "hacking" program are you?

Like maybe Hothack?

I wondered why he asked, because for some strange reason we have ALOT of machines with screwed socks. I took a look at the new virii threats and found nothing, but it seems a huge co-winky-dink that I would have several machines here all get relatively the same problem in the last week. The fix is to tweak the reg and reinstall IP onto of its self.
