You somehow got lost man!

Anyway found you now.

So not much info here so CLEAN IT!

Like this!

Configure CleanMgr to max settings
Go to Start-Run and type

cleanmgr /sageset:1
The above need only be ran once (these settings will be remembered as the default until another sageset is ran).

It will present a menu select all except compress, then

Go to Start-Run and type

cleanmgr /sagerun:1
As long as /sageset above has been ran on this computer from now on the /sagerun is the only thing that needs to run.

Then My computer browse to c:\windows\prefetch and do not delete the folder but all it contains.

Then
Spyware and adware removal

SpyBot http://security.kolla.de/index.php?lang=en&page=download
Run this twice delete all it finds, "ALWAYS" run this before AdAware.
Leave all it wants to leave after the second run.

Registry and System cleaners

RegCleaner http://www.vtoy.fi/jv16/shtml/regcleaner.shtml
Look in first 2 cols for programs you thought you uninstalled or removed, these are the dregs left by the uninstaller. Also tag and remove any that you are POSITIVE are not supposed to be on your computer. After removing these go to the top Tools-Registry Cleanup-Do them all. Delete all it finds.

EasyClean1.7 http://gswi.com/downloads.htm
Run only unnecessary files and registry clean delete all it finds. If you have ME or XP in the "Unnessesary Files" type the word HELP in the skip box. Do not do Duplicate files!

RegScrubXP http://www.lexunfreeware.com/LexunFreeware.htm
NOTE: W2K and XP only!

Select RegScrub finds problems and remove all it finds.

Turn off some of the useless and cklear the pagefile.

Will this keep you busy and out of trouble for a while. Smile!

Really should be able to do it all in about 20-25 minutes, and if it don't fix the problem (probably will) it will at least improve it and definately help in general performance.

Do this get back to us!

Searching the floppy can also be something as simple as having an entry in the "Recent Documents" list that was either opened from or saved to a floppy.

To find out if that's the case, right click on the Task Bar, choose Properties, click on the Start Menu tab, click on whichever Customize button is active, go to the Advanced tab and click on the Clear List button. That will empty out the My Recent Documents list.

 

thanx iv done all the above. i cant tell if its worked yet cuz it dosnt happen everytime. if it does ill report back!

thanks for ur help guys!!
