Jason's Toolbox Script Sentry not working properly

Jun 14, 2004 9:00PM PDT

When I try to merge a *.reg file I get an Error 53
I tried to uninstall Scrip Sentry (the uninstaller said it was completely uninstalled)
After uninstalling, I removed script sentry from msconfig startup
Yet every time I try to merge a .reg file I still get error 53

What do I do?


(I posted at his forum http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=278 but didn't get any replies)

y'all....


1. Please note that just above the text editor (where you enter a question on the forum) is the following paragraph, and if certain information is not present in your question, our reply may not be of much help:

Tip: If you are asking for help to troubleshoot a computer-related problem, please be sure to include all the necessary information (ie: operating system, model number, hardware, software, etc) that will help others identify your problem for a speedy resolution.

2. As you can see for the results of "Error 53" on the MSKB your reported information doesn't track with you scenario and you should provide as much information as possible concerning your procedure, where the file came from, and why you're wanting to use it.

3. Give several lines of this file's code (right-click and open in NotePad) so we can perhaps ascertain what its use is -- no promise.

I have been trying to merge this file http://www.spywareguide.com/blockfile.php
I've done this many times and recently I can't.

As to the procedure I tried, I simply right clicked the *.reg and selected MERGE.

I am at work now so I can'tadd "several lines of the code"

I use XP Home, Dell 512 MB RAM. I use IESPYAD, Fiefox, Spybot, Adaware, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard, amongst others.

My second part ? ?

From your link, there are two files and I'm not sure which of the two you speak -- I almost bet it's the Blocklist.zip you're trying to merge -- but could be wrong:

Blocklist.zip and Blocklist.reg

* * *

1. Hypothetically, you'll find that the S&D Immunization feature entries in the system registry equal approximately 44 lines of addresses and at least that many values. Please note in addition, should you decide to un-immunize these addresses, the values are not removed, only nulled which isn't a problem -- just stating the fact.

2. Considering the use of the SpywareBlaster's feature of Internet Explorer protection . . . and the Restricted Sites protection is . . ., it adds approximately 1,400 addresses and probably that many or double in value lines.

3. If you overly concerned and specifically desire to see an example in your system registry, -- I'm only pretty sure it will be there provided the above features have been enabled, and you can step further through the Domains or History or ActiveX Compatibility address(s) on your system to see more. To review the captured information in text file format for the two subjects, use the hyperlinks:

"S&D" (The approach for this software instead of detecting or removing targets, it inoculates a computer from executing certain software, stops you from downloading some types of parasite, and stops other things from working)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\008i.com

"SpywareBlaster"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\History\ad08.focalink.com

Note: "Registry fixes" which you may find useful at the S&D site are:

Spybot-S&D Wizard disable
Spybot-S&D SDHelper uninstall
Spybot-S&D system start run entry (uninstall)
Spybot-S&D full settings removal
Context menu for DLL files (install)
Context menu for DLL files (uninstall)
Internet Explorer Settings lock (install)
Internet Explorer Settings lock (uninstall)

I've done this many times and recently I can't.

1. My #1 S&D appears to have the same entries as the registry file you mention trying to merge as explain in my "thread." Have you looked at the addresses in the registry to ascertain whether such exist already or whether there is more than one?

2. As far as the error 53, I simply do not know otherwise -- I hope you looked through the linked information provided.
