@ MK1:

About two weeks ago, I got the program malwarebytes as suggested by Gadgetmall and, even though I am using spybot, adaware and AVG and firefox, Malwarebytes found 6 items hiding in my computer and these were all high risk items.  I have had no problems since.  Just thought I would give a testimonial for it.

OK urgent stuff first.
@ Mki
Sorry to hear about your PC infection problem,
Get and install a copy of HIJACK THIS.

Click on the Hijack This icon and do a scan.
Save the LOG file
Work from the next file that appears.

Take your time looking through the information.
Your C drive programs that load up at start up will be displayed, read carefully.
You should recognise the directories where these programs are installed, if you know your way about in DOS then they will make a lot more sence to you.

Browse down the page and look at all the numbers on the left hand side of the page, these numbers represent different things the file is expected to do.

See if you see any 17,s remove them, these in 99% are hijackers.

Browse up to the top and look for any internet page redirections, these direct your normal web search page to a diferent one. If you see a unknown one delete it, but take care doing so, as any deletions cannot be undone.

HiJack This is a great tool, in the hands of a professional, it can do wonders, if you don't know how to use it, go the the Hijack This web forums and post your LOG file and wait for someone to help you.

OK after a XP install I always install Winpatrol
Winpatrol has a tiny little doggy that whoofs if something tries to install itself without my permission, its a freebie, ad has not let me down.

I also have SUPERAntiSpyware (free)
Spyware Terminator (free)
a-squared "antivirus" and also a-squared Anti Dialer, (both are free)
   
and lastly, get ERUNT, which writes a good registry into C:\WINDOWS\ERDNT\ the date of saved registry appears here
If you can boot your XP into DOS mode, got to the above windows directory and type in the date of the last saved registry file, it will write the registry file back to where it came from and then you reboot the PC, it should come up OK


Hope this helps you.

@jadaro2600
Ist is correct, you can light up a LED off a single coil both ways.

Take a look at this TWV I just made
Please excuse the fingers

I held a bare LED across the output from my big torid coil
Holding the LED I turned it 180 degrees and it again lit up 

Hope this helped you

@RAF,
Reading your post, the motor results was very interresting ideed, my previous post shows how a LED can be lit both ways.
Just maybe this may explain your tiny electric motor "clockwise" and "anticlockwise" motor shaft rotation. But it dosent explain how a 10uF cap allows a reverst electrical energy through it,

is this "radient" energy?


Its extroidanery, what happens wiith our little JT, isn't it all, Raf, can you post your circuit before you attempt to change it, to try to get it to work again. I ask this as you may have accidently stumbled on a quirky wiring setup, not saying it is wrong wiring, since it worked originally.

Any accidental find could be a huge leap forward for us all.

@ Flathunter
You are getting a similar result with a small motor, similar to RAFs, are you both replicating each others work? or is this just a coinsidence?
Verry interresting days work all
Well done

In my early years, I connected up 2 winscreen wipermotor shafts together, then using one as a motor to drive the other one, I could gert out enough power to light up a tail light bulb. I was in priimary school at the time ha ha.
