hijack attempt???

[tali122]

had b/bandmodem switched OFF and got a "hijack attempt" warning from my firewall checked log and this is what it said "Application Hijacking has been detected
The application: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe try to launch another application: C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\realplay.exe "

i cant make head or tail of what the above is trying to tell me -its all very generalized

connected to realplayer today and pc rebooted with windows message about a problem with my graphics driver????

utterly mystified and confused

thanks for detailed reply, the reboot was alaming and seemed more than a coincidence.

as for the error message it was exactly like windows non responsive ones for i /explorer for example, but this one specifically for some reason related to my intel graphics card (which has up to date drivers anyway)

[tali122]

yes im as confused with the grapics driver/realplayer connection , and yes realplayer is a pain because it tries to update every nanosecond - but what are other probs with it ?

thx

cant say ive experienced the probs you had, but RP is very persistant in "forcing its way back in" as in msconfig and ignoring default settings.
