I only use IBM hard disks 'cos they have some excellent downloadable files to test the drive, check and fix bad sectors and all that sort of stuff. When my computer goes wonky I run the HDD file and it works a treat afterwards. Yes, run a defrag and spy-ware remover. Also make sure you got the latest AV software. I use to have Nortons/Sementec and couldn't wait for the yearly period to expire. It's a heap of shit and the AVG free AV software is faster and less invasive on CPU performance. Get yourself some firewall software also. Conquest, I'd start to get rid of some of your stuff on your HDD if it's that full and see if it makes a diff. Dump some non-often used stuff to a couple of CD-roms and see how it performs. Failing that, HDD are not too expensive, whack in a second drive. Linux is good, but not the end-all be-all that it's devoted fanatics would like you to think it is. It has it's own problems and issues. Dunno about reformatting and reloading your OS. I've had my system for nearly 4 years now and it goes just as good as it did the day I built it and has never needed a reload or reformat. Mind you, it's starting to struggle on the newer games 'cos it's a 1Ghz CPU. seeyuzz river AHH good ol river, full of knowledge again, CHEERS NOLAN [Report message to a moderator]
