    We didn't know you used Kaza. Kazaa is a bad thing! This may just be your problem when you leave the computer on all night!

    EasyCleaner will not effect Kazaa.

    But if you ran the Adaware and Spybot they do remove bad parts of Kazza that cause computer problems and that disables Kazza.

    What you should do, is go to add/remove and uninstall Kazaa and then download Kazaa Lite that has no adware or spyware.

    ok i think i removed kazaa---i just downloaded it a couple of days ago. it was running fine until today.

    i did all the things u said to do about my desktop. it unhighlighted my icons but as soon as i put back my wallpaper it highlights again. i guess it is no big deal i was just wondering y it changed. it was never like that before.

    also when i rebooted my boot up sounds changed. that is no big deal eitheir i was just wondering y that changed also?

    i am going to leave my computer on tonight and i will tell u what happens tomorrow if it freezes or not.

    should i leave aol loaded too or just windows?

    which version of windows is the best?

    also i am thinking about changing to optimum online instead of aol do u think that is a good idea?

    i just can make my way around the aol screen setup so easy i know where everything is... i had msn for about a day(lol)
    i couldn't find my way around to read email or even search anything...

    any imput would help

    thanks again and again

    Ok Colleen

    Ok so good about the Kazaa. Now get the one I posted and it will be good to your computer and none of the cleanups will bother it.

    Heck Colleen if the setting I gave you fixed it until you put the HP theme back then stay with that, and don't use the HP theme. The HP theme may have gotten changed or dammaged.

    The reason your sounds changed is because we defaulted the theme and desktop setting back to Microsoft standard. Apearently your themes were mixed. The setting I gave will give you the best performance. Some themes are resource hogs and cause problems. Especially when mixed sometimes!

    Don't ask me about AOL. I don't like it. I always reccomend a local ISP. Your local phone company if possible. If the phone company they are generally more reliable and the charges are just added to the phone bill. Get broadband if you can afford a little more than twice the monthly cost of a modem connection.
    But if you are comfortable with AOL and get what you want why change!

    Do you use modem or broadband (dsl/cable)?

    Colleen the question you asked about which windows. Can not be easily answerd. Depends on (age & speed of computer) (your expertise level) (what you do, how you use your computer).

    My opinion based on these messages of these 2 threads is you should stay with what you have for a while longer. If you are thinking that your recent problems would not have occured on another version of windows, that is not necessarily so. It or something else could have just as well happened.

    Windows XP (don't get XP Home) is the latest and greatest! But I probably would reccomend you wait and get it on your next new PC!

    My ESP just still is not working! Please give me a final status on your computer of what EXACTLY does not work now. And what else you want to accomplish.

    I am going to assume that the problem that occurs overnight is all that is left and wait for your answer.

    When you get your comp stable , you will need to remove the spyware .
    Also included is a Kazza alternative .

    What does SpyBot-Search & Destroy?

    SpyBot-S&D searches your hard drive for so-called spy- or adbots; little modules that are
    responsible for the ads many programs display. But many of these modules also transmit
    information about your surfing behaviour and more to the net.
    If SpyBot-S&D finds such modules, it can remove them - or replace them with empty dummies in
    case their host software won't run with its bot removed. In most cases, the host still runs
    fine after removing the bot.
    For a list of 'supported' bots see the feature lists below. The Spybot-S&D interface is so
    easy, that updates just require replacing a file of about 80k in size. Those updates are
    distributed by my software mailinglist, over this page and are also available from inside the
    programs update section.

    Another feature of Spybot S&D is the removal of usage tracks, which makes it more complicated
    for unknown spybots to transmit useful data. The list of last visited websites, opened files,
    started programs, cookies, all that and more can be cleaned. Supported are the three major
    browsers Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator and Opera.

    Last but not least Spybot-S&D contains some routines to find and correct invalid entries into
    the registry.

    Red entries indicate spyware problems that should be fixed to avoid security and/or privacy
    problems. This is the only kind of problem that is preselected to be fixed.


    Black entries are system internals. If you do not know what they mean, I would suggest to either
    keep your fingers from it or visit the support forum.


    Green entries indicate usage tracks. It can do no harm to remove these.
