I need help with a problem. Continuum is unresponsive when I try to open it. Everything else on my computer works fine so it appears to be only a problem in Continuum. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

You have to give more information than just, "Continuum doesn't open, help me".

What happens when you try to open it? Also, have you tried re-installing Continuum?

Does it show as running in task manager?

It's most likely that "Continuum.exe is jumping around the processes list" bug.

Something is running that Continuum doesn't like.

Run a virus scan.

I recommend you get a handy tool called Pocket Killbox > http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/killbox.php

It will reveal to you hidden DLLs and Executables running. It also allows you to end each task with the click of a button.

Post a Hijack This log if te above fails.

Hijack This is also a handy tool and can make helping you with spyware easyier or the tech's end of the deal.

Continuum doesn't show while Spyware Doctor is installed.. This is common. I don' recommen hat software for spyware/adware removal. Get AdAware and/or Spybot Search and Destroy.

Spybot- http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Adaware-http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

Try the stuff above.

Mabye Im wrong. Im only human.

I get a message that says this every time I start up my computer---

Bagent.exe – Unable To Locate Component

This application has failed to start because IPROF32.dll was not found. Re-installing this program may fix this problem.

And a message like this every shutdown after opening up continuum

Continuum.exe – DLL Initialization Failed

This program could not initialize because windows in shutting down.

I have found this IPROF32.dll … could this be the problem, and what do I do with it?

You got virus maybe.

Quan Chi2 · Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 11:39 am Post subject:

Okay, Soda. What Operating System are you using? This can help. Post ASAP so that we can get to fixing your problem.

Also:

When doing virus scans and spy/adware scans, its best to do it in Safe Mode

Its more likely to be a virus, as Default said.

Info:
Go here to see what iprof32.dll is - >> http://web.intuit.com/support/quicken/2004/win/7202.html

Its not a virus as you can see.

Just put IPROF32.dll where Bangent.exe is.

Operating system? Like Windows-XP?
is that what you mean.

also I'm not sure if the startup message and the shutdown message are related. Its just the both have the extention .dll so I'm only assuming.

Whats Bangent anyway, does it have anything to do with continuum?

Bangent is the spyware software used by Continuum to keep track of your ban information.

Cool, where whould I find that? The windows+f file search comes up empty

Donkano · Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 6:37 pm Post subject:

Personally I reccomend:
McAfee AV + Firewall
Ad-Aware
And for extra security:
Kaspersky AV
Spybot Search & Destroy

I was kidding, meh...

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 7:26 pm Post subject:

Donkano, you realize that list will hurt your computer more than help?

Bagent is apparently part of quicken. See if you can turn it off in the Quicken options.

Soda, try what Cyan said. Then if that doesn't work, boot your system in safe mode and do Adware/spyware scans, and a virus scan. Post any logs that are saved, here.

I gots the shiny new 65 dollar Norton Anri-virus, I don't think I need any more than that. It says my computer is clean so...

Wait... quicken is a program for taxes or something, how can that anything to do with continuum? maybe thats not the problem.. Cuz' it seems to me re-installing a tax program isn't gonna do much for my situation. maybe I sould just remove it all together if it isinterfeering?

the computer says the DLL initslization fails, how do I fix continuums .dll files if IPROF32.dll isn't it?

What? you don't think I didn't try all that, i've done all of the stuff you'll told me.

But it doesn't matter to me that much anymore. I spent my entire weekend cleaning, re-installing and deleting files for this game.

It won't work, I'm done.

Thanks alot for all your help though
