I tried the first one and it didn't work. these are very good suggestions, thanks. I will try the next ones in the morning. I'm thinking the drive is toast. It spins up but I get a message saying the drive is empty.
I did get a messge on one of the boot up saying a hardware failer. Also I got one saying a media cable is unplugged.
I'm visiting my dad and used CCleaner on his Toshiba Laptop. Right after I used it, the DVD Rom Drive didn't work anymore. Is there any relationship? How could this happen? Anyway to fix it? Thanks, Chris.
In this I wasn't sure if I was giving away anythig that might put me at risk. I replaced some letters with X's until I know for sure.
Windows saved user CHRIS-XXXXXXXXX\Chris registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.
This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.
When I start up my XP computer I get a few messages that has squares and says something like this name in the registry doesnt point to anything. I thought CCleaner would fix this but it doesn't. What could be the problem in the registry that CC is not fixing? Thank you, Chris.
