Welcome, hope you get good advice!

Try this to not solve the problem, but may help. Go to Start->run->Type msconfig->Click 'Diagnostic Startup'->Click Apply->Reboot->Defragment To go back to your original boot go back to msconfig and click 'Normal Startup'

The files are probably 'locked' which means they are in use. One app can change a file at a time

Actually it would. Since there are millions of apps it would take forever to see if there are traces in registry, HD, etc.

Same with me

oops

What do you mean?

Avast at here

The GIMP at here

Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder at here

I used to use avast until i switched to norton 360 (MISTAKE)

Zonealarm is pretty good

When i ran it on a little bit lower end pc it was extremely slow. When i said hardware requirements i meant reasonable speed not literal.

What exactly do you mean by 'restart and boom' ? What happened?Was your computer slow, giving BSoD?

Great tool, saved a bunch of headaches

If you ever need to get a computer on the internet for remote access go to portforward.com

I know exactly how you feel. Microsoft needs some common sense. I downloaded a beta of windows server 2008 from the microsoft website!And microsoft decided that what i downloaded from them was not genuine and i may be a victim of counterfeiting @#$! Edit: Windows XP activation assistance web site is unavailable now. Thanks microsoft, we love your help More of an edit:"While we've been pleased with the positive response we've seen and heard from customers using Windows Vista, there are some customers who need a little more time to make the switch to Windows Vista," Microsoft said in a press statement. Even more Edit: The sad thing is, microsoft takes windows xp off the shelves and without activation it is useless. Hackers (Activation cracks) will last longer than microsoft will. Who should I have more faith in...? Answer:

A great tool, Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder (Download Here) finds your windows product key and can change the person who windows is registered. Does anyone know why it was originally marked as malware?(False Positive)

On certain editions of windows can act as a server like XP Pro and Media Center. UltraVNC is a great program that sits quietly on my tray. Difficult to configure, but once you get it going its completely transparent.

thanx

I dont kno for sure but it could have something to do with your cluster size

I like the windows 7 features and stuff like that, but i just want the x-factors to be settled before using it

"virtual Machine" ever heard of hardware requirements?

You have to click the 'Use the following DNS Servers' to use different servers.

Hence the point
