??well??

you know what you could do

try it and see if it does

Format that motha.

FUCK. THAT. heh hem...thank you

yeah im sure there is an easier way out of it but formatting seems like fun...i'm gonna be doing that later this week biggrin:

open up my computer .right click on your hard drive should be c go to properties choose tools. there should be something that says error checking. click that its basicly scan disk. i believe it will tell you to reboot, because xp cant go in to dos unless in the boot . and when you reboot it will check for errors. and PS i never had a problem with norton 2003 with xp

ive never done a disk cleen in xp. it does take a long time... wow. i just del the files myself. look around in documents and setting/yourusername/ . you can clear temp flies in there as well as temp internet. temp and temp interntet are under /docs and setting/youruser/local settings/. im pretty sure disk clean removes those files. dont delete the directories just the stuff in them.

old reliable helped someone ed:

ok thanks guys for the help..... I set the error checking thing at start, i wont restart now, but next,hopefully it will work

You should give the disk a format every once in a while for good measure. I believe that you can clean the registry as much as you want, but stuff still lays around in there that slows you down.

Here's what I would do:

1) Use Scandisk at startup to scan for bad sectors.

2) Defrag the drive

3) "cupcake" or get Norton Systemworks, and use CleanSweep.
