When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

The progra~1 will be the 8.3 representation for your Programming Files
directory name. Since it's 8.3 it could mean that whatever you are trying
to use is a 16-bit program and not compatible with your new OS.

Try uninstalliing whatever this "bar" thing is.


Good luck

%PROGRAM_FILES%

Whazzat? ; ) (Typo for %ProgramFiles% or something more sinister?)

OIC... PROGRAM_FILES = C:\progra~1 ?
Is that possible?

<cmd_output OS="XPsp2" command="dir/ad/x pro*">
2008-06-09 19:41 <DIR> PROGRA~1 Program Files
</cmd_output>

(Uppercase instead of lowercase. I admit I didn't notice that in the example.)
