<description><![CDATA[The Penguin posted : Hi Cudni. Yes I do have Comodo.  From those posts it looks like it may be the latest version of Comodo (3.10) that is causing the problem then. I'll try reverting to 3.9 and see what happens.<br><small>--<br>Dances With Marmots</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[BlitzenZeus posted : Let start with some basics, I know some of these settings are stored in the registry, but is there an actual .pif shortcut on your desktop?  You could try deleting this shortcut, and trying to make a new one, but also look for a .pif file in the folder the actual program is contained in.  If needed windows will make them again, but I recall .pif was the old shortcut format for dos based programs in previous operating systems.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[BlitzenZeus posted : Just checking, have you tried running the program from cmd.exe which is the nt command prompt?<br><br>I'd say do system restore/restore your image to before this happened, and stop using these registry cleaners.]]></description>
