Remember this, mate.. my computers have run almost flawlessly for years, and
yours doesn't.. computers are infallible, and it has been a 'known fact'
that user input is the wild card in screwing them up..
I was not being rude.. I was being truthful.. your post was full of
incorrect assertions, and the little threat to go over to Linux?.. well be
my guest.. I even offered links that may help you, but forgot that you are
an expert, hence your need to re-format again "... because as usual windows
develops a bad case of being ABSOLUTELY JUNK after a few months. This is a
known fact, and MANY people get this problem."
Even people who do know a great deal learn something new each day.. that you
see yourself as above that is to your detriment.. your concluding remarks
leave questions too.. you may not have a virus, but you may have a trojan..
scandisk is not part of XP.. and you don't need to afford a DVD burner to be
able to back up important files..
I wish you well in your transition to Linux..
