Instead of using a DOS boot disk, I would just stop the program from running, then delete it. There is more than likely about 50 (maybe not that many) icons next to your clock (system tray). Each of them require a program to be loaded, thus taking up memory and cpu and slowing things down. I would right click on each of them and try to figure out what they are. I would bet it is in there somewhere. After you find it you should be able to stop it.

Then, go to Start->Settings->Taskbar and Start Menu, click on Advanced (tab), click on Advanced again, click on Programs in the explorer window, click on the startup folder and look in it. There is prolly a bunch of stuff in there. Most of it you do not need, so you can ditch. Look for anything that says Sony on it, and delete it.

PM me if you need more help and we can jump in the chat room and go over stuff

 

Just read this thread. Very interesting. After I subscribed to @Home cable internet, tgcmd.exe would also be flagged by ZoneAlarm as trying to connect to the interent. I have blocked it. At first I thought it was something @Home Internet needed to keep things working.

I did a disk drive search and found that tgcmd.exe and tgfix.exe are both in a subdirectory of @Home directory, which was installed at time of cable internet configuration.

 

Prolene: the only thing needed by @home is an IP stack that resides in your kernel. You need no extra software at all. All you really need to do configured your system for DHCP and you're set.

[B]My computer won't let me delete the tgcmd.exe file. Any advice? It's locked out of any internet connection but would like to just delete if possible. When I try it tells me something like, "Windows is using the program, unable to delete".

Also, forgive the question, but how is a computer reloaded? Is the entire system (OS) deleted and then custom restored with the restore discs?

 

Telling a casual user to use regedit is dangerous imho.

Pueo: If you do use regedit, be very careful not to disturb anything else, or your system might get screwed. Hence the backup, but be careful anyway. Also, the registry file is automatically updated, so don't worry about 'saving' like other text editing apps.
