Hey all..ill be sort of out of touch for awhile because my KAKA laptop took a nose dive last nite. I can get on the boards at work but this is our most busy time....i saw dis comming but nothing i could do about it anyways....
hope to be back up an running after the new year!

 

Good Luck. Chip may be able to help you.

I think he is up in Josh's area.

What is wrong with the computer? Hardware, operating system, wont, boot? There is LOTS than can be fixed.

 

wooohoo..im back up ...fer now....
thanks all...
several things are going on.
1st and fore most my harddrive is clinking once in a while..i know what that means! it is going kaka
2nd recenty there was stuff running in the background i could not find or remove with anti virus
3rd a error message was comming up during start up...said media fail eathernet error check cable.....then it wouldent boot properly.
4th for the last 7 months the windows updates would fail....
so i said screw it..i already back up the stuff i wanted a few months ago so i used the toshiba boot disk and reinstall to factory sepcs...i hope this will work fer awhile...i ve got my processes down to 43 with vista running and my hd is 5.1 gig free now. tho im running windows updates now, wish me luck!

 

it souns as if you were heavily infected. i hope you got all your data off. I have gotten to the point where I remove all viruses an malware manually looking for unsigmed processes, killing them and then removing them from the autoruns list. Scanners are only as good as the database they use.

A hard drive relacement is not a big deal in a laptop. if that indeed is going. It would be a good idea to run Spinrite on the drive to see what is bad and what can be saved

 

ya that was what i was thinking after the reinstall...
Its been soo long ago i had my A+ class i really don tremember what should or should not run......so if it look like something that i didnt want i stoped the service.
I didnt really have much saved..mostly some games and other stuff that wasnot inportant.......
felt good to do a total clean restore....had to unistall alot of toshiba software that was running and that helped....
iill keep you in mind if i need a new or refurebed hd.....
thanks fo rthe tip on the scan ..most of the windows updates installed but the most recent ones failed (like last time)...im not gonna worry about that to much now...
thanks again!
