im currently extremly pissed off at my computer!!! i haven't formated it in about 2 years now and in the last week all possible errors started appearing. it keeps crashing every hour or so and it's making me extremly angry. im currently copying my mp3's from c to d drive- for the past 2 hours or so. it makes me wan't to trash it to pieces but i have so much stuff on it, im controlling myself for now. it can't get worse that stupid electronics giving me a hard time.

now, even my explorer started crashing...can't make followups anymore, cuz if i do it crashes...i can hardly make a post.
my work computer's been working since ever, no troubles, running smooth all the time...and it's like 10x shittier that the one i have at home - looks like more complicated it is more troubles it gives.
fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!

put your fist through the monitor... smash the screen to bits... if you can't see the error messages, they must be gone!

42 running processes? i can only assune you have a lot of agent clogging up your systray. do you really need to have these all loaded up when you bot up your computer? go through them and check. these may well eat up valuable ram and slow the computer down somewhat.

i wish i knew what you're saying...i know nothing about no processes, agent cloggings...i think im gonna call one of my buddies over to deal with this, he's pretty good with this.
anyway, im deleting those 600+ files as we speak...i hope that's ok :)

I guess 42 running processes would mean 42 running programs... which would definitely slow things down...

i meant agents. software sometimes sets itself up so its, ahem, "easier" to lead up because its already in memory from the start of your session. check your systray! how many icons do you have in there? for example do you really need real player to load up when you switch your computer on? the answer is probably not

delete them. i think ad-aware makes a backup but you won't need it.
have you run spybot aswell?

yes! spybot will pick up things that adaware will miss, and visa-versa. i run both at least once a week, together with NAV.

thanks a lot for your help though!!!

if you want to have a running pc, you should switch to linux. linux is free, you can run it, without removing windows from your harddisk (some software you may use is not available on linux). btw, linux is becoming more and more user-friendly, so switch to it, switch to it... do it! :-) I wanna switch too, but i want a separate harddisk for each OS, so i'm saving money to buy a disk, what is difficult to do, if you spend most of your money for music :D
what you can do, to protect your windows pc is to install a firewall (zonealarm for example?), anti-virus software (anti-vir for example?), run ad-aware on start up or make an entry to your schedule-tasker (???) of windows, to run ad-aware every tuesday for example, in order to keep the performance on your pc you wish. i would also change the browser. mozilla is much better, and more comfortable than internet explorer. in addition to that it has less bugs than ie, and it can show you almost all websites as good as internet explorer (at least!) there is only one website i cannot see with mozilla, because it is made for internet explorer only! this is a exception, though!
all in all:
- install linux on your pc beside windows xp - install a firewall, anti-virus software, and scan your harddisk for ad-ware with ad-aware and spybot seach & destroy
- use mozilla instead of ie.
btw: xp anti-spy is also useful programm. there you can switch off some agents of xp you are not interested in. this gives you also some performance. i am too lazy to look for links, but you can find easy if you google, and type the name of the software and download
hope this helped you :-)
