Trojan? Virus?
Well, I’m doing battle with my computer now. When I start it up I get the following message:
MSASCui.exe – Bad Image
The Application or DLL C:\Windows\system32\winhttp.dll is not a valid image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
Also, when I try to start World of Warcraft, it downloads the new patch, attempts to install it, and then I get another message similar to the one at startup. Then it proceeds to tell me that my base file in WoW is the wrong size and the installation aborts.
I’m about wearing out my hard drive by running scans on it, but I keep finding traces of this and that. I have restored my computer to a time about 2 weeks ago and still nothing. I’ve uninstalled Windows Defender (where msascui.exe comes from) and it solved that particular instance, but as soon as I reinstalled it, it came right back again. I’ve posted to a couple of geek boards, and I’m hoping to get an answer soon. If not, and I can’t figure it out, I’m calling Matt the Geek. My absolute last resort will be to reformat the drive and reinstall everything. Yuk.
*****************************UPDATE***************************
After talking to several people who I consider friends, but have never met (long story), I replaced the winhttp.dll file and rebooted. The problem went away. I still have to reinstall World of Warcraft and Musicmatch Jukebox, but that’s no biggie.

My buddy Jacob made this video of last night’s softball game. Good job Jake!!
Little punk shows me watching the pitch go by 3 times! LOL
Softball
Well, the NewSong Softball season is officially underway. We played last night against a very good Britton Bethel Baptist team. They smoked us in the first game, but we got our act together in the second game and beat them. Our offense was good but our defense was very weak in the first game. I had one (yes, just one) ball hit to me in left field and even though I lost it in the sun momentarily, I found it again, caught it and neglected to close my glove around it. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. The second game we did much better defensively and were able to pull off a win. Best part was that we had a really good time. Weather was great, crowd was great, fellowship was great. Can’t wait for next week!
Wake Up
I was jammin’ away on my new mp3 player (see post below this one), listening to Casting Crowns when the following lyrics came through my ear buds and punched me right in the gut.
What if His people prayed
And those who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And turn from their own way
Wow, what a wake up call. Start with the second line “And those who bare His name”. What an honor and a privilege to bare His name!! Something to remember…we are HIS. We bare HIS name.
Then the next line, “would humbly seek His face”. Hmmm…not doing enough “humble” lately. Time to look seriously at a little more (okay, a lot more) humility when it comes to Jesus.
Then the last line, “and turn from their own way”. Ouch! That’s the twist at the end of the punch that really stings. Time to do things His way, not mine. Looks like I’ve got some work to do. Anybody else?
New Toy
I finally got myself an mp3 player. It’s the RCA TH1101.
Nothing fancy, only 1GB memory stick style, but it holds a lot of tuneage and I’m liking it.
