Plus my arthritis in my back and hips let me know that it is time to see my Chiropractor for my weekly Snap, Crackle and Pop session. Edit: Fixed link

Welcome amber888 This has been discussed previously but this is what I do 1. defragging Before Windows Update and after or after I have installed or removed software 2. cleaning I clean the hard drive once per day with CCleaner and the LCD screen with a very lightly damp lint free cloth about every 6 months plus I turn the keyboard over and gently tap it to remove dust 3. registry cleaning? Before Windows Update and after or after I have installed or removed software

I'm watching Dr. Wayne Dyer again http://www.drwaynedyer.com I watched this ages ago and was mesmerized then and again now.

Maybe since I followed your advice about RegSeeker in February 4, 2007 I have not had a problem with RegSeeker.

You have that right. I do like Chinese Food though but the thought of a whole mess of Moo Goo Gai Pan near my hard drive makes me shudder.

Welcome jrltec The wbemess.log is one of Windows files that is constantly in use and is locked open just like index.dat files so when you ask CCleaner to clean it then Windows refuses permission. Windows manages this file to keep track of what is happening to analyze failures I believe. WMI Service Log Files: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa827355(VS.85).aspx

This sound like nasty malware infection that could involve serious measures: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ind...st&p=742173

If I remember correctly the system is automatically rebooting? If yes then disable automatic reboot like I indicated earlier. I think that the installation of SP3 enables auto reboot and if I remember so did SP2.

I have a Classic View on things. <== Classic Java executable installed ready and waiting to be of service

It is in Control Panel as the Java icon

We have the same sort of sales up here on Dec. 26th Boxing Day and tragically a young 15 year old girl was shot and killed in 2005 as an innocent bystander in a drug war vendetta.

BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death Google it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death

I think that it may be Search Autocomplete in Windows Explorer.

Luckily my apartment faces west and on clear day I can see the CN Tower in Toronto and Lake Ontario to the south so I hope that the weather co-operates and provides a bit of clear sky but we have been having mostly days and nights with cloudy skies with rain or snow.

I have used Win95, Win98, Win98SE and WinME plus a few versions of DOS. I ordered the SP3 CD and it came quite quickly so I guess you would have to talk to Microsoft UK to find out why they do not offer it. That sounds like a driver problem. Switch off Auto reboot and then you will get the beloved BSOD that will show you the failing module then you can find out who it belongs to then see if there is an updated driver. In Control Panel/Systems/Advanced/Startup and Recovery/Settings Clear the Automatically Restart flag. I had to do this recently when avast! started to crash on me and it brought back a few memories I must say Ed Grimley.
