Hi asomormridle, Probably the anti virus software. I use adaware by Lavasoft. It doesn't hurt the computer or do anything strange. There's a free 10th anniversary edition available. you can try it and see if you like it. I have xp pro here at home, because I have dial up. I like Ubuntu better. Ubuntu is not as susceptible to viruses and it's not as much fun for the virus maker to foul up Linux. I'm on an old Sony Vaio with 192 memory and it runs fine. Run disk cleanup at least once a week. A freeware program, Ultradefrag is great. Download it from Sourceforge. It's fast to install and it works very well. The first time you run it, it may take a while if there are a lot of fragmented files. It does two passes. The first, it locates the fragments. The second, it defragments. If you run this once a week, it will help.

Hi mrdee, (hope I got it right) I did a clean install on an AMD machine this morning. Tried repair and no go. this was because the keyboard froze. During the repair, the mouse froze. It is a public access computer. It's possible that your computer may have some kind of conflict with Windows. Could be a device, could be who knows. Windows is an unstable os. I had a machine spit out four Windows installs. I would suggest that you go with Ubuntu 9.04. I use it on 2 public access computers and it works fine. I have no trouble with it and I like it. Sometimes, with Windows, you don't know what is causing the problem. I have 2 more Windows machines to fix and one is an emachine that's a pain. Good luck and let me know how it works out. I will check back tomorrow and if I can help I will certainly try.

Hi Willmark, You need to work on the uneducated act. It doesn't work. Hope to read you around the forums.

Email support@farconics.comHave all the information about the product so that they know you have a valid copy. They will tell you how to work with this. You can also call them. The phone number is on the package of the product. I would try add/remove programs and see if you can uninstall it. Where I do tech, we have Clean Slate and I'd have the same problem if I didn't have the password. You only need to get rid of Deep Freeze. All your other programs will be there and okay.

I am on a site where I will upload a book and see what happens.I know nothing about web hosting, I got here by looking for information about an emachine BIOS problem.I likes the post and comments, so I register.Hope everyone is well.
