Can we deduce from Laurence's mail that this setup was identical before and after the HD-crash: ,----- [ ] | Am running Zone Alarm Pro v3.7.159 in the background with Kasperky v4 | anti-virus. `----- This was written in Laurence's mail too: ,----- [ ] | Have tried disabling both these to see if it makes a difference but still | very slow and lock ups still happen. `----- In some places on this earth you might find some people confirming that a particular Microsoft patch for XP slows down the computer. Probably a conspiracy, but they're getting well organised and they succeeded to post something about their mean lies on the internet: :-) http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/2003Apr/gee20030425019740.htm http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,110385,00.asp It was even on this same list. Now didn't Laurence mention something like: ,----- [ ] | I'm using Windows XP Pro SP1 with all patches up to date. ??? `----- Laurence probably has cured the problem, while we're still discussing it. BTW: you probably won't be able to persuade me to ever install Antivir on one of my computers anymore. But if you and many other people are happy with it: why not? -- Best Wishes, Mark using The Bat! 1.63 Beta/7 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
