When your friend cleaned her machine, did she turn off system restore? Most of the time people get reinfected because they don't turn off system restore. The virus will stay there.

What Frootbat said. I am using NOD32 and Malwarebytes anti-malware and a couple of others and I haven't had any problems.

I hate to say it but have you tried removing the Wacom tablet driver? I have some tablets where the Wacom and Windows XP drivers were installed. We kept trying to figure out why we were having so many OS corruptions and also extremely slow boots. The software developer finally realized that the...

You might want to get a newer version of HijackThis from here.... http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis

So far so good. Not a lot different so far from XI but it looks different with the graphite interface. Loads a lot faster in Vista and seems a lot more stable.

NOD32 user here for several years. I wouldn't change for anything. Best on the market.

As info I am going to wait until MS issues a fix for this update. I've hidden it for now. JG

I had trouble with the KB925902 update. I uninstalled it but my computer booted a lot slower (Vista Ultimate) than it had originally. I just updated to the new Realtek drivers and the boot sped up almost to pre-update norms. I am going to try the update again. I can't believe MS can screw up an...

Retrochoir, had you not come back and said you set the drives to cable select I was going to suggest that you try that. When I built my other computer I had the same problem and had to do the same thing. I have two hard drives on IDE0 and they were set master/slave. Once I set them to cable...

BigBadBen gave you the best answer. Always set the burner as the master and the CD or DVD ROM drive to slave. You will have problems if you don't. Burners want to be the master. :-) JG

Edfair told you good information. You DO NOT NEED to install Win98. Start installing XP. It will ask for a qualifying product. Remove the XP CD and put the 98 CD in the drive. XP will validate it and tell you to remove the 98 CD and insert the XP CD and will continue to install. Jazzgirl

I also have to say I read this forum all the time. I knew I'd get a good and fast answer here. You rock!
