Mike_Timmins i'm a fan of AVG anti-virus, if i use any. I prefer to use none at all, i just search though my system killing proccesses and files that aren't supposed to be there.

Mike_Timmins I prefer a laptop for most reasons. They make mice you can use, and as for the spacebar, it takes getting used to. Realy my only purpose for a desktop is when i need super low price, or super high power, for everything else, a laptop dose the trick

Mike_Timmins That looks to me like you either have the system trying to load two seperate operating systems at the same time, or you have a severely corrupted hard drive. Personally, in a situation like this I would resort to yanking th hard drive out of the computer and...

Mike_Timmins I'm on a laptop and I tend to let it hit standby mode. However, every 3 days to a week i like to shut it down and let it charge overnight. This more thoroughly charges the battery and lets windows re allocate all the system resources.
