Hi, I've installed my new MyBook 1Tb on one computer already, and it went without a hitch working perfectly. When it came to my laptop it seemed to install fine. i clicked the reboot button, along came the welcome screen, then the desktop screen (which remained blank... no desktop icons). 1 hour later it's still the same. Computer starts in safe mode but can't run MioNet. It will only start normally when I press F8 and select "Last known good config". After I uninstall MioNet the computer starts and shuts down perfectly. Both computers are fully updated with Windows XP.
Please help.
What type of Internet Security are you using?
1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Network Connections (In Vista, you must go to Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections)
2. Right-click on your Local Area Connection, and go to "Properties"
In the list of devices installed, if your Internet Security company has installed a Packet Filter on your computer, you should see listed within there something such as "Anti-Virus NDIS Filter" or "Firewall Filter" -- something with a "Filter" in it, or even just the name of your Internet Security's company.
To remove it, perform the following:
3. Select the Filter, then click the button below that says "Uninstall"
4. Restart your computer in Normal Windows Mode.
You may see the WinPK Filter Driver listed in this window; if you do, please do not remove it -- this is part of MioNet. However, the driver should only appear in this list under the Windows Vista operating system, not the Windows XP operating system.
Please let us know if this information has been useful.
