    Wasn't this with the Beta SP1? Did you install the Final?

    egghead,
    I had to run msconfig, and delete it from the startup menu...
    Then I went in and manually deleted the file. Then I grabbed another .exe file and renamed it to the idwlog.exe...
    So far so good...

    wow!

    this is only the log file

    what is the program that wants to log onto the server and do tests and report my machine id and user names?

    i searched in the reg for idwlog and deleted the one search and now my idwlog directory is permanantly deleted

    but i couldnt find idwlog.exe in my windows/system32 directory

    this creeps me out

    glad to have the crew help

    *update*

    found it in the i386 folder

    C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\idwlog.exe

    tricky b$#sterd

    how can i kill the main program?

    I'm almost done getting it off a private ftp. 6 minutes to go now. I guess I will reformat due to the bugs residing in my Windows Fonts folder. Norton didn't find anything.

    None of the links are working now...
    Surely it will calm down in a few days, I am patient and will wait.
