try to get ccleaner and fix your registry errors... might help..
OMG.
All those TuneUp-Utilities simply fuck up your Computer. They delete RegistryKeys which they don't know so they obviously are "uselsess". Keep away from those programs!
Parent
no tuneup utilities is shit, ccleaner is not.
Parent
ccleaner is one of the best 1s around, tbh
Parent
wow. it fucks up ur registry the best.gratz
Parent
just shut up if you dont know where ur talkin bout
Parent
Shut up hes linux nerd and he knows what hes talking about!!
Parent
ok. im off to bed now, night!! :(
Parent
:D I just woke up but gn.
Parent
Believe me, i know what I'm talkin about, you better go sleep and shut up cunt.
Parent
ccleaner is great tbh, no problems at all, it makes your pc faster :]
Parent
Ye? So you claim that you know what Ccleaner does and know that it only makes your computer faster? ;)
Parent
agreed, you can edit your registry yourself otherwise set it back to default.
Parent
All those programs are one big joke. CCleaner is OK, but it won't fix your pc.
The most common things I use is Windows System Repair or just a format.
These are still the best options imo ;)

chainsaw is the only solution :o
mayB U need 2 check Ur PC coz of trojan, virus and stuff ....

... check and clean with:
http://download4.emsisoft.com/a2FreeSetup.exe
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

sometimes (rootkit or sh1t like this) U need 2 SWITCH OFF - systemrecovery (system and then recover on all HDD-drives DISABLED !!! )

and .... turn PC of with ALT+F4 not with reset-button / standby-mode ... I got probs with this in the past. so, always shut down 'the right way'.

gl n hf in 2009

IMPORTAND: if you got probs and need reboot - DO NOT REBOOT - SWITCH PC OFF !!!! wait min of 10 sec - than boot again COZ of bad code in memory !
Install Linux

Probably the the most straight-forward long lasting solution at least. Linux > * > Windows any day, any time
Parent
True word mate!
What Distro are you using?
Parent
I'm using ubuntu for my workstations and debian on my previous servers
Parent
I dislike Ubuntu!
I'm using Sidux and Backtrack. Best Distro's so far. ;)
Parent
try ccleaner & malwarebytes
get vista
Press the shutdown button on tower..
shut down all the power.
push and hold ur powerbutton till ur computer go off...
trojan :D
I had that problem on SP2, had to install SP3 for GTA4 and it seems to have fixed it - its just the sysfader not working properly, a quick fix is just ctrl + alt + del and end the sysfader task and shutdown again. If this isnt the issue then I dont know ;-)
cmd => shutdown -f
use your computer as a server
use the button on the power supply
leave it on.
