reformat it is

i can wait a month before i get my laptop tho, it's not like i need these games to live. I should be doing school work instead. Anyways i guess it just comes to show that anythings possible with windows. I've tried system restores and nothing happens. It has to be the craziest error i have ever encountered

here is the error... it wasn't a window it appreaed on the top center of my screen

a weird error message popped up jsut now when i started defrag. the same type of message appeared once when i was about to play san andreas before. like immediately after double clicking the icon.

i can't uninstall from control panel i've allready explained that, i'll try the defrag

nothing, no virus' .... what to do now

lol yah too bad i don't have one are there any free ones out there that do a good job without killing my computers ressources?

I am administrator, I have it setup so i have to log in with a passwork to get on my computer at login screen to keep nosey people out of my stuff

what kind of internet conenction do you have?

make sure you don't have bad netowrk cable

if your using wireless try using a direct cable connection from network adapter to wireless router

try using a direct conncetion from your dsl/cable modem box to your network adapter

Hi, lately my comp has been acting very strange. I wanted to play grand theft auto san andreas on ym pc and when I double click the icon it did nothign i sat there for a while and nothing came up. So what I did was right click and run as... and ran it under my login. Hooray! the game works... but i go to load my saved game and there is no saved games, i vreate a new one but saved it under the 3rd slot because i had saved games under 1st and 2nd. when i went to go play the game it was default settings which i find weird. I exited the game after being tired of playing it and noticed that my backgroudn was gone. i decided to further investigate my computer, I can't open the Sims2 on my desktop. i did a system restore back to the time it was workign properly. still nothing, i go to uninstall the game in control panel then add/remove programs. GTA nor the Sims are there. I go to start menu where GTA is and i choose the uninstall feature and it just reinstalls the game with no cd's... something is deffinitly up... i checked for spyware and i used hi jack this but i don't see anything bad on it... what to do now i don't know

i got it workin... stupid thing, only ever happens with SP2 installed

ok... i got the other file... folder doesn't wanna delete now

confused :S

2/3 files to go.... managed to delete 1 file the other says i'ts being used by another process... and the folder won't delete i used dos that time... how do i insert the -f in comand line? give me example

Gah safe mode don't work

how do i boot in safemode again? never had to do it liek that... ps. killbox did not work

Lately i've been getting alot of files I cannot delete off my computer. It keeps displaying that it may be used by another program... tell me how in the hell an installer for a 3dmark05 can be in use after i've installed the program and rebooted my pc? It's doing this with a folder aswell i can copy the contents into another folder but the folder itself cannot be deleted. I've downloaded the file for 3dmark05 over firefox and the folder was from bittorrent. I'm currently not seeding the file so I do not know hoo it can be in use. I also have no processes running in the background that would cause this.... Help please

EDIT: Forgot to mention I am running XP Pro with service pack 2 installed. and that i've tried moving the files and folder into another folder then deleting that fodler.. still won't let me
