Hi, im new here and hope ive added this post in the correct section. Ive recently came back from holiday and im now getting problems with my computer. Whats happening is when im trying to run multiple programs im getting a strange click from the hard drive area and the certain program and sometimes the whole computer will freeze up. I took it to the local computer repair shop and they suggested i needed a new power supply. I got them to install the power supply which has helped the speed of my pc. However, the problem with freezing is still around and the clicking from what i believe is the hard drive is still happening. Im wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether it is my hard drive and if so what can i do about it? Thanks Jamie

Hi I have recently had to reinstall MS Office 2007 due to a registry error I was receiving in PowerPoint. Since reloading the whole office suite back onto my laptop windows updates have appeared for the different office programs. I have checked Add & Remove programs and none appear but each time I download them & click install the following messages appear. Initializing installation... done! Installing Security Update for Microsoft Office system 2007 (KB951808) (update 1 of 9)... failed! Installing Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (KB952142) (update 2 of 9)... failed! Installing Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Junk Email Filter (KB953463) (update 3 of 9)... failed!

Installing Security Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB947801) (update 8 of 9)... failed! I don’t know if the registry has been corrupt. I am using XP Pro and upgraded to Service Pack 3. All in all the Office programs work fine without any problems. It’s just the windows updates keep appearing and fail to install. I have tried to hide & ignore these updates but they keep reappearing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Russ

Hey guys, I just installed Vista onto my PC but the XP operating system is still there :eek: Usually when you install a new OS it give you the option to delete the old one but this time, it did not. I don't think it can be done through the setup disk Does anyone know what I need to do? XP has to go, its taking up all the room! (when I boot the machine, it lets me chose between the 2)
