Re: off topic

[sss510]

I have just tonight and last night had trouble with web mail on my normal E-Mail account. Also the same time out problems with my Otlook with the same email account.   I just deleted as you call it (various anti-spyware programs etc) all off them, and my computer now works.   Try getting rid off all the spy ware and virus stuff, and start again with clean installs of these.   Should fix it.   seems to me that they (various anti-spyware programs etc)were fighting themselves too hard.   Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: KRISTIAN WALSHAM To: membersozdat@datascribe.com.au Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 9:50 PM Subject: Re: off topic Hi Antony,                 No noise from the hard drive but programs seem to take longer to load, swapping between windows sometimes leaves bits of the previous one up for a bit, bits of the XP tool bar near the clock are missing icons sometimes when i start up and next time i start up they are back etc.   When i first start up until i can open Outlook Express up is about 4 mins.   Had trouble when i switched to a different user the toolbar and desktop icons didn`t appear, just a pix from my documents. Took 3 attempts to log on with a different user before it worked.   Talked to a young bloke at work and he said the HD is slowly dying but couldn`t explain why.   The computer is 4 years old and it has Intel M/board, P4 1.6ghz, 40gb HD. Running Z/A Security Suite V6 (got rid of NIS 2005), various anti-spyware programs etc..   Any help is greatly appreciated.   Please feel free to contact me off list.   Cheers,                 Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: Antony Maina To: membersozdat@datascribe.com.au Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 11:17 PM Subject: Re: off topic lots of them, check these sites for help, but most important is abnormal clicking sound from the harddrive. What brand is your computer? some manufacturers (HP) have a testing tool in the bios setup.   http://pcworld.about.com/magazine/2012p210id105869.htm   http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1583&page=4   Antony KRISTIAN WALSHAM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All,           Sorry for the off topic question, but are there signs related to hard drives starting to fail?   Cheers,             Kris. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to membersozdat@datascribe.com.au No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------No virus found in this outgoing message.
