El Sitherino Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Well if your drive is that unprotected that you can't change it within the OS, you might as well just format your drive, reinstall the OS and start anew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 ...good ole Swamp Tech Support, land of the reformat = solution to everything... ah well, good to hear its fixed Tepe. I'd suggest you get some AV software, even if its just AVG, also beg your parents to get you a newer OS.... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikinor Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Did he say spyware? That stuff is hard to get rid of. You should download SpySweeper or something like that to get rid of it. And to no offense but I have not gotten along with InsaneSith in the past so therefore I DO NOT LOVE YOU INSANESITH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Originally posted by Darth Tepe Let me guess, you're using 2k, huh? Nope, a tweaked XP with BBL and Ubuntu Linux. But I know win2k is the most stable because.... it is. It's been said many times even by MS figure heads and executives. Originally posted by Darth Tepe With programs I mostly meant PSP, various games and so on... If you meant to ask about this: Ah, just curious. Mostly because I've found linux to have pretty much everything I need right there, easy to get. Games it's a bit of a wade through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 win2k sports optimum resource splitting. It distributes resources more efficiently among programs than any other MS OS. And it's lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
