Re: [Audyssey] OT: Need help ergently!
Well, if it's stil happening when the net is disconnected, it's obviously something running on your machine try pressing windows key and U to bring up ms narrator. You can use it to look at what programs are in the startup point on your windows menue, and also check the add/remove programs list to see what's happening. If Jaws is doing nothing, it might also be a Jaws problem, though sinse I don't use jaws myself I can't really say anything for certain I'm afraid. i certainly know in that situation I could shut down Hal then look at restarting it with default settings, - but as to jaws I'm not sure. hth.

Re: [Audyssey] OT: Need help ergently!
ok, I tried disconnecting the net, and nothing changed I'm not sure how to check all my programs and stuff without being in windows, but the thing is, after that welcome screen comes up, I do anything, it won't take any commands at all, the screen is totally blank, jaws won't even do anything, after it speaks the welcome screen.

Virus checkers, programs that auto update, and windows system updates themsleves can all be resource hogs, especially at start if they all want to start at once. it was for this reason that I couldn't run Avg on my old desktop, because whenever it did a full system scan (which it insisted on doing at startup each day),k it slowed everything down ridiculously. The same thing used to happen when my university network decided to turn on windows update, and my computer tried to download a years worth of updates at startup without my knowing. i'd suggest disconnecting your net connection, then starting your system and looking at what's going on with it, making certain unnecessary programs aren't running automatically. hth.

Re: [Audyssey] OT: Need help ergently!
weird. maybe a virus. I have had the same issue with an old system my grandpa has. all his stuff is on an unsecured system because we didn't have the equipment or software to do anything about it. due to it dieing mainly because of all the spyware and viruses and the fact that one of the fans in the power unit has been on the blink for some months, i actually looked at recovery. However because of the condition it was not possible. So just reformat and lose your stuff. All I can suggest, I almost lost everything with my wd 500gb elements exploding. Thanks to a couple lucky breaks, a drive with a dieing power switch my dad's system and my cell, part of the net and a couple other things I mannaged to lose vary little. did your virus checker or something give any warning? if not then it may not be a virus. no virus does this anyway. at least I don't know one. Ok so it aint a virus. get someone to look in bios. most new systems have smart detection which is internal monitoring of some hardware, cpus, fans main board hdd etc. if something is failing or has failed then someone sighted should probably help you on this. Ofcause not sure if you are blind or not, but if not using del or whatever key gets you in the bios settings will help and have a look at bits of stuff. Remove the power wait for 20 mins open the system check the cards are all in their slots. turn on the system and listen with the case open. if a fan or something is not working you should at least be able to hear it and see it if you can. NOt sure but people say you can see spinning components so it must do. If you have a external hard drive caddy you could try connecting the drive to your system, and transfering stuff off. you probably can scan the hdd on that system to and fix any virus, etc. however not windows. Should be ok as long as you don't autorun the drive. How in the basic terms of your problem I suggest some hardware is dead, check the power supply and replace the battery, have a real good listen to the system. I say this because one day a friend of mine paniced and shut down his system during a disk scan with norton disk docter because he was not used to the noise and got scared. this resulted in destruction of his boot record and required an reinstall of the os only, which was fortunate. Also fortunate for him because he was running dos 5.0 and I had 6.22 however that was long time ago you can't do that with windows based system. I am not sure how to answer your issue. If you are able to fix this issue or even not I strongly recomend you buy an external hard drive and then another to back it up. I have 2 here. the 640gb which is my main data drive and workhorse and a 1tb mybook which stores backups. every few months I manually sink the drive this can take half a day or so but it means that in most cases I do have a coppy of the drive if not exact, well almost. If the drive does die I can change drives, till I can buy another, and then transfer stuff over to it.

Re: [Audyssey] OT: Need help ergently!
Interesting...disconnecting the net wouldn't work if you were still getting that in safe mode; little runs when you boot it up in that mode, certainly not antivrrus software.

I'll try to look in the bios and stuff, but it will have to be tomowwor, when I can have some sighted assistance, and I'm going to try to boot into save mode again On 12/24/09, Hayden Presley hdpres...@hotmail.com wrote: Interesting...disconnecting the net wouldn't work if you were still getting that in safe mode; little runs when you boot it up in that mode, certainly not antivrrus software.
