Hi Antony,
I did as Jeff suggested but kept getting a window up everytime i started up saying that i had modified the start up programs (or something like that) and it would be there everytime i did so i just went back to the default. I have since removed Microsoft Antispyware Beta (CPU ran at 100% for about 10 mins after with no other Apps running so i restarted computer and was ok) and a few other programs and it seems a little better. 


I was thinking of getting a new hard drive and transfering everything over 
just incase is craps itself. Is it possible to do this? I`m really a novice 
on computers so don`t really know how to copy/burn/backup stuff.



A new problem exsists now where i cannot download and install Microsoft 
Updates that were just released. I think it has something to do with 
Zonealarm Security Suite`s firewall.



So that`s were i`m at at the moment so if you`re able to assist any further 
please do, i would very greatfull. You can (or anyone else) contact me via 
email or at [EMAIL PROTECTED] on MSN.


Thanks for keeping in touch,
                                             Kris

  Kris,

  click start run type in msconfig or msconfig.exe
  click on the right hand start up tab
  untick anything that you dont want to start when
the pc starts
  eg adobe msoffice quicktime etc.
  should reduce your system resources usage a bit.

  cheers Jeff

    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

      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.

        Hi All,
                  Sorry for the off topic question,
but are there signs related to hard drives starting
to fail?
