Recently I have been having a reoccuring problem with
Windows XP. What happens is the computer freezes for a
few seconds, goes black, and when the picture comes back
on the icons are all enlarged and the color of the
screen/pictures/icons are all wrong and distorted. The
only way I can correct this problem is to restart the
computer. I have run a virus scan with Norton Anti-
Virus, but it comes up negative for viruses or anything
else. Please if anyone has a solution to this problem I
would appreciate hearing it. (Please email me

Thanks
Natalie

Help needed!

Posted: 11-16-2003, 06:54 PM

Hey all. I've got a bit of a toughie here that stumped both
me and my father.

His machine has a few files in the following folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Dylan\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\Dylan\my0s6nho.slt

(Only where Dylan is it says Trevor, and the filename
before .slt is different)

Anyways, of course some files are legit. But there a few
files, a couple are about 2 or 3 gigs, and another is
nearing 6 gigs! They all have hashed up file names and
extensions, and refuse to be opened in a document editor.
You cannot delete them, it complains it cannot find them or
the disk their on. Same kind of error from Norton Wipe...

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Dylan

p.s. Norton Disk Doctor and Antivirus found nothing wrong.
