Then you might aswell just use regular file deletion since deleting first and last 2k of a file isn't secure deletion.

Yes, a DVD works. Some DVD are SATA (Serial ATA), most are good old fashioned PATA (Parallel ATA).
Both should work.
DVD works on all computers, the motherboard doesn't need support anything special.
DVD burners are cheap nowadays.

Files deleted with CCleaner do not get moved to the recycle bin, they get deleted.

People actually still use Netscape now when there is Mozilla Firefox?

Awesome!
I said many times that I think CCleaner would be better off in C++. And unicode, thumbdrive and 64-bit is nice too.
If it gets all that, then the only thing that could get better would be if it were to be open source.
Also, new piece of software sounds exciting, I await it eagerly.

It should clean that...

So, in a year it will probably be 627,000 malicious web sites.
89%, that is a high amount.

mIRC is thirteen-thirtyseven!!1

Awesome story.
Guess he used Microsoft Windows.

The question is, can it be trusted?
And about Opera, sure yeh... once it comes with source code...

Upload PNG not BMP.
BMP is uncompressed, big image to download.

Thanks to all . & mike you really did answer a question i forgot to ask about the file system. I remember I was confused when i got to that on mine. luckily I chose the one you recommended. She has the fat 16/32 or whatever so I,m sure She,ll be able to choose the other also . & thanks for Yer help. Eldmannen. She cant get that if her puters down. & no I,m not sure she can use it. but if not next step is a newr puter. The thing that pi***s me off. someone on this site told me where to get the cheap CD. & My puter crashed before I could. I paid 199.00 for the same thing locally , i,m getting Her for $86.00. But when you cant get online, You cant buy online. But thanks for the suggestion. I copyed all of it & am just gonna snail mail them to Her. Cowboy
Then make a bootdisk you, it is better than waste $86.00 when all you need is a bootdisk.

She can get a bootdisk from bootdisk.com
You sure XP will run on her computer?

IT is normal for it to remove 60 mb. It is temporary files, Internet cache, etc, it is very normal.
-
Thanks, but no thanks.

Yes, that is okay and motherboard has integrated graphics chipset, so if you don't play advanced games much, then you don't need buy a graphics card. But you need to buy a sound card and network card.

Backup is a good idea.

Andavari, could it be the the Kyoto Protocol?
It is approved by almost the whole world, with a few notable exceptions such as USA.
Mike Rochip, yeah but stop polluting is probably a better idea than to pollute more.

Yes, it's clear to me, what is the purpose of the Temp folder, but unfortunately, changing the directory path for storing the background images is not possible with MS Virtual Desktop Manager.
Then MS Virtual Desktop Manager is broken, not CCleaner. Tell whoever make MS Virtual Desktop Manager to not store files in the temp folder.

Eldamnnen --- be careful... the Intel Core 2 Duo is conroe, while the Intel Core Duo isn't.
Yes, you are right about that. That is what I meant. I was aware of the fact though, but seems I wrote wrong on the post.
Those two things look fine. However, if you can convince your mom to order online, TigerDirect.com, NewEgg.com, ZipZoomFly.com, and others have really good deals, plus have really high customer ratings and are secure.
I'd be wary of a AMD Sempron 64 - they aren't very powerful - almost like the Celeron's - consider them a value processor. I'd highly suggest getting a bigger budge and investing in a Core 2 Duo. MUCH more powerful, very stable, and will last a very long time. Tiger Direct - Core 2 Duo's
My realitve just built a system with a Core 2 Extreme, with either a 7900 or 7950 GX2, and 2GB's of RAM, and it's stable as anything, and oh-so-powerful. His friend though had to spend $3600 on it, but it will last a long time. Anandtech.com has a review, and it proves that the processors destroy any AMD processor out there, including the newest FX-61.
What I'm saying is if you spend a decent amount of money now, you'll have a stable system for the future.

Yes, the Core 2 processor is the best choice, I would also recommend it. The Sempron is a budget processor, as is the Celeron, the Sempron performs better though. A $3600 computer would be kickass, though its about 10 times this guys budget.

No idea.
Maybe fault at router/switch/hub or cable?
-
Yes, those would probably be good enough.

Netburst architecture sucks.
Western Digital disks are good, especially the one with 16 mb cache. Note that the one you picked is SATA-150 (SATA I), there exists SATA-300 (SATA II).
Mushkin memory have a good reputation as high performance.
