Re: Locking up poota

Yes he has tried Virus checkers along with spyware checkers and so on as
you say some will some wont. i think he is at might well as reinstall
point now :(

At least doing re-install isnt as bad ait used to be when i first started o
windows about 1993 or so hen you used to have to have about 15 floppies and
umpteen othersfor support oftware and took forever and you couldnt even
leave it for a few minutes.
I keep all my key software on an extrernal usb drive. This saves so much
time and means i dont need to find install cds etc.

Just a thought on the locking up problem, does he do a ctl-alt-del to then
close down individual items to establish if there is one program thats
causing a problem.
Ive had freezing from time to time and found a largish file/program called
"dump" and by closing it down cured the freeze.
