I asked my wife what she wanted for her Birthday and she said " I want something that goes from 0-200 in 3 seconds ". So I bought her some bathroom scales. ;)

As far as i am aware, nothing, as my router was switched off, there was not internet acces to my PC.

Yes, I did defragment, but at present I can only do this manually as it will not run on a schedule for some reason, any ideas?

Sorry, I've not been on here for a while. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I looked on the Disk defragmenter although it is ticked to run on a schedule, it says 'Next scheduled run Never'. I did modify this, closed it and then re-opened it and it said the same again.

I have just returned from holiday so my PC has been switched off and unused for 2 weeks,during which time I had switched off my router but when I switched it back on and booted up my PC it has been incredibly slow in starting up, it has done this before when I had a power cut but did correct itself, yet this time, after a few days its still the same. Any solutions anyone?:cool:

Vista sidebar gadgets Something is blocking my sidebar gadgets, most of them go blank when I drag then over and the clock is just a black square with a red line on it. Anyone got any ideas?:mad:

I did try this, apart from the ESET scanner because IE wouldn't let me do this and I have sent a HJT logfile but you no longer work with these at present.

Ok, Thanks for your help anyway.

Hi everybody, should have done this before but now i'm here I just want to say Good Luck with all your PC problems. May all those selfless boys and girls hlep you with all your woes.:D

Thanks Seth, I have tried this before but I tried it again and it still didn't work. I have also tried using security removal tools for anti virus programs i've used in the past and this has done nothing. I don't know if it'll help but I did once try uninstalling and re-installing my AOL software and now i frequently get a blank window in the top corner of the screen and the tab at the bottom on the taskbar is blank with the AOL logo on. I have e-mailed AOL about this and they haven't been able to come up with anything. Also thanks to help4me and Wolfeymole for their contributions as well.:D

I tried to do this, i clicked on the website from your link, on internet explorer, ticked the box but the start button was faint and when i clicked it , it wouldn't start the install.

Hi Guys, I'm having mojor probs with my pc at the moment, it started a while back when my side gadgets stopped working and went downhill from there. on my AOL i am unable to access videos on youtube or anything that requires flash player and certain web pages appear blank. thanks to one of your other threads i found out to download firefox, which everything works ok on, but at the moment everything is running really slow and occasionally freezing. i have run both super anti-spyware and malwarebytes which came up with nothing except a few tracking cookies. Any ideas please Guys?:confused:
