Hi

I have a question.

My computer doesn't work anymore even I restored it.

My question is that if I throw that computer away.

Does it has any of my personal data stored that I used to access on it.

o...k?! no hacks, cracks, serial, blah blah blah..
so.. what the hell are we supposed to ask you? >.<

^ Any problems that you might be facing on your computer, dear.

@Cutie - Ya it does, on your hard drive. If you want it to be safe completely, i'd suggest you physically destroy it.

My computer is very slow.a few month ago it was catch by virus so a computer tecnician cleaned it for me. he devided my computer hard drive in 2 parts. "C' drive and "D" Drive. i feel after that its became slow. when i want to see serial or videos online its alway buffering and play a few minutes and buffering and play, its takes long time to see one serial for long time. some websites i can't browse properley. some time i browsed the website than a error message prompt "Browing problem accured......... send error report ? any advise please.

Windows XP causes al ot of problems. I uses Windows Vista Ultimate and did not cause any problem..........

anyways i think :-

1) If virus affected then scan your files and do re install windows if posssible.

2) You can also increase your virtual memory if possible.

3) THirdly you can also see this :-

1.
Power on Pc - when Welcome logo shows up, "beep" then a small window pops up (or sometimes no window just freeze there I have to re-start again):

I click Ok.

2.
My setting comes up on Desk Top and as Windows genuine icon shows up at the corner, before ZA (security soft) icon does, a small yellow window pops up:
(I can't exact this one; sorry but something like: )

3.
Following above 1 instruction, go to System in Control Panel - Advanced - System -
Then I click Advanced and a small window pops up:

I click Ok.

4.
On Advanced page -

Virtual memory
Total paging file size for all drives ... 126 MB
Drive C:
Space available ... 22021 MB
Custom size
Initial size (MB): 189
Maximum size (MB): 4096

Total paging file size for all drives
Minimum allowed ... 2MB
Recommended ... 189MB
Currently allocated ... 126MB

When I change 189 and 4096 above to any number, 2/189/126 in Total paging file size for all drives would not change. (And is that normal?)

I leave them as 189 and 4096.

5.
Opening a browser (Opera) is ok, but opening another application/program (Excel, Words or OutlookEx) at the same time is not.

How can I overcome this Low memory/paging file problem?

I think, this started happening ever since I wrongly deleted new Thunderbird profile which I created in "My Documents" folder, after TB failed to perform properly and followed TB forum instruction and created a new profile. I thought I saved the profile in a wrong folder and tried to delete. Windows warned me something but I clicked "Yes" !! That was it...?

And then I tried to update Windows (long overdue) - install XP SP2. Download was done but Installation kept failing, error code being either of ".inf file missing" or "not enough storage".

Please enlighten me.
Thanks so much
