Control panel wont open

[raiden_nrl]

Sometimes when i try to play songs it says i have no hardware installed to play it so i go into control panel and install speaker software then it works. So it happened again and when i try to open the control panel explorer crashes then restarts and i have restarted my computer a couple time. Seriously lately my computer has been pissing me off!

umm sounds like reformat time to me.

Check for the usual.

yeah... i guess it is.. i just have to find my xp disk :/. Besides it has been running so slow lately and sometimes this virus comes on that names itself as another svchost.exe and takes up 100% of my proccessor. and it takes like 4 minutes now just to starup.

A good option is to write zeros to the Hard Drive then Format and install OS.

Why do you say so crappy? I mean , to write HDD first with zero's?

 

[Cappy]

To ensure no traces of a virus remain on the HD .Same as wipeing the drive.You wouldnt want to go through and simply reformat the drive and install only to get re-infected .Better safe than sorry. I even clear CMOS .

Cappy,

Reformatting the HDD clears all the files ,and so the virii too. So according to your comment , how can the virii exist after a reformat?

And BTW what software do you use for filling zero's to HDD?

I think Cappy is full of crappy.

As long as you don't copy the existing system files from the drive, there's almost no way for the virus to avoid being destroyed. If you're worried about a SF virus, just use your own boot-disks (either the CD or a stack of floppies) and start from safe scratch.
