moon Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hi Hurdy,:) DOS is an alien expression to me, sort of like something out of The Simpsons ( which I've never seen ) Talk me through the process will you, if you get time ?

moon Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Us Aussies call everyone 'chap'. It's a sort of verbal bromide to control our excessive and superior sexual appetites. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByGeorge Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hey Moon, speak for yourself, mate :blink: I agree with the reason, but that sort of thing only happens in New Zealand, oh and Tasmania too I s'pose :shutup: , but they're not part of the mainland. :D And in DOS, click start, shut down, restart in DOS, run the command from hurdy on the exact file location, and reboot. Hope hurdy's right. B) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hi George,Just testing angel's enthusiasm :D The path is C:\WINDOWS\AKASHOOK.DLL What I'm wondering is how its removal will affect the folder that the app. hid. Is there anyway of 'reading' a .dll ? I can look at it with Notepad but it's a mass of code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdy Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Try renaming the file first and if there are unfortunate consequences then change it back againHi George,how are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 If you really want to try and look into the file moon there is Filealyzer from This page not sure it will tell you a great deal tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Using it Mark, thankyou, and it's showing as a system file. Seems to be a lot of information in there and the .dll is only a few K. I'm a bit loath to attempt to delete it in DOS just in case there may be a way to retrieve the folder. I'll play about a bit and then ask Hurdy to guide me through the DOS thang.EDIT : It can't be renamed, Hurdy. 'In use by Windows' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
