Easy: delete it!! MaCafee and Norton are crap ! Get AVG from grisoft.com, or Avast from avast.com: 2 good free anti virus programmes with free updates from the Czech Rep!

Ihm, strange, so you don't think it was the dust? I never touched any leads accept from following Wolluf's suggestion of disabling the hard drive which I did which had Zilch affect! By connecting the audio cable to the cd-rw would hardly constitute from my viewpoint as a major event to my...

Why are you starting a seperate post? Anyway, thx for your input. I don't really know why my system recovered but now I do believe it was the caked dust on my fan for the processor?

yip, it could be spyware,,like newnet rundll, if you get zonealarm it will show it up? Kazaa bundles a lot of spyware like BD3= brilliant digital entertainment!

if W98 is fat or fat32 then make D: the same (Fat or fat32) or NTFS if you undertsand what NTFS is? good luck

you need to reformat D: and make it Fat, Fat32 or NTFS as your file system for xp. W98 must be on C: set as active and the primary partition. If you have partition magic you should make D: logical and bootable ! And make sure C: is not hidden!

ok, thx for your reply! Is C: Win-Me ok, can you boot from C:? if so, you can use partition magic 7 or 8 to partition your hard drive and reformat your D:\ drive. this should also realign your E: cd-rom and F; your cdrw! Seeing as you don't have the option to reformat your hard-drive through...

You mean 2 versions of 98 with Xp ? is W 98 on C: , W98 on D: and xp on E:? is Xp, pro or home edition? and what is your set-up? Ram, processor, how many hard drives etc?

Ihm, this is actually windows installer in action which Microsoft calls "total cost of ownership". this feature is handy for administrators who can configure Windows Office to be installed on demand when a user clicks on a icon in programmes such as Access or Powerpoint! When an...

Ah -:), Wolluf I know NTFS can't read fat or fat32. what I wanted to know was could one dual boot with say WIN ME on the first partition and XP-pro on the second with NTFS as the file system and would I be able to boot into both Op-systems? I am not bothered if I am in ME and can't see XP-pro...
