Hi Rick, Do this: open "My Computer", and after it opens you can close it. Then open your "Control Panel" > open "Administrative Tools" > open "Event Viewer" > double click applications > click "View", and uncheck information...click apply. Now look at the displayed times, which one occurred most recently (look for the time that you opened "My Documents"). Double click that report, and see what it says. Then go back and do the same for "System" (system errors instead of application errors). What do these errors say, if any?

I confirmed the 32-bit in device manager. It states - AMD x86 Family 6 Model 4. dxdiag states - AMD Atholon, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.0GHz Honestly, I don't know what MMX, or Family 6 means. Did I answer your question? I don't know where else to look. Can I uninstall .NET 1.1 after installing 2.0?

AMD Atholon Processor, MMX, 3D Now, ~1.0GHz One last question...What does FTL stand for? (Fat Tiger Licker?)

I would like to add one more thing! I thought that this was interesting. "The file types that System Restore monitors are many but include most of the extensions that you typically see when you install new software (e.g., .cat, .com, .dll, .exe, .inf, .ini, .msi, .ole, .sys). Note that only application installations that use a System Restore restorept.api-compliant installer will trigger the creation of a restore point. Typically, system recoveries are easiest when you know *or think you know* what caused the problem (e.g., a recently installed device driver). In some cases, System Restore might not be the best choice for correcting a problem you're experiencing. System Restore changes many different files and registry entries, and in some cases might replace too much and actually cause more problems than it solves. For example, say you install Office XP, which triggers System Restore to create a restore point, and the software suite works great. Later in the day, you download and install an updated video driver, and because the driver is signed, the installation doesn't trigger System Restore to create a restore point. Now your system hangs on occasion, and you believe that the video driver is the culprit. In this case, you should use the Device Driver Rollback utility because it will address the device-driver problem only and not change anything else on your system. System Restore would roll your computer back to a preOffice XP state, and you would have to reinstall the entire software suite after you resolved the driver problem." (Microsoft Corporation)

You could shred them with Cyber Shredder, but others here know other programs that used secure delete. There are some suggestions in this thread. http://forum.ccleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=3858&hl=passes Hope this helps!

After reading that I'm not sure that I have a 32-bit processer. Maybe I shouldn't be using the .NET 2.0. I lists the AMD processesors that are 32 (none on the list are mine), and mine just says AMD,MMD.

Adaware is the only thing that does find anything on my machine, but you're right. They usually are cookies. I would like to add though, that today I ran CCleaner...then ran Adaware - and Adaware found a lot of stuff including cookies. I just occurred to me that the cookies shouldn't have been there. I'm interested in trying something new. Thanks again.

Thanks, I'll download it tomorrow. Dial up! Lordy, lordy. You must be a very patient person.

Hey Mike, I checked out your link. For OS requirements it says XP, SP1, but not SP2. Are you using it on SP2? Also it gives to Core Engines options. 1. ActiveX Core Engine, or 2. The Java VM Core Engine. Do you have a preference on the engines? I don't know which one to choose. Thanks!

Word

That's that then. This thread has solved my security issue. No mas WMP.

Thanks that what I thought, but was told different (from you know who!). IT=EVIL EDIT: IT isn't really evil, this guy is just a little off base. (a little???)

What bitmaps? Videos, etc...?

Exactly! Quick question. What does the x86 mean?

Why would WMP handle a bitmap image?

I'm intrigued by your comment. I actually called UMSL's IT department on Thursday to ask about .NET, and they told me that you only need it if you have Hotmail. The guy that I spoke with says that he doesn't even have .NET Framework installed on his computer. I uninstalled 2.0 last week, and I haven't noticed any changes. I'm going to do some investigating unless someone has a quick reply?

I spent $60 on a hardware firewall, and I think it was worth it. It will also come in hand if you network (as I do). I personally never found a software firewall that I liked.

That is true. As long as you Cite the Author it's okay. It wouldn't hurt to throw in some quotation marks either. Extra caution. Interesting information.

Me too. Good poll.

WHERE IS THE LUV!!!

I'm rollin'. That's hilarious.

Hi Hazelnut, I checked out your link (thanks by the way), and this is what it said. Requirements for running the online scanner. * Windows 2000, XP and above. * Internet Explorer 5.0 or later with Active X enabled. Was this the right link? It says Online Scanner Beta, and if you DON'T use IE you can only get a mini version. If you have IE you must enable Active X from Tools > Options > Advanced.

Where is the love? (I hope that Mike doesn't have a sister.)

She??? Did you mean He?
