I ran chkdsk again.

I'm not sure how long it ran because I went to sleep but it wasn't more than eight hours.

Now I'm having trouble with my media.

It isn't so bad with audio but with video there's a lot of crackling noise and stopping as well.

It's like there is some other process running that's taking up a lot of memory.

I've run a virus check (nothing) and gotten rid of what little spyware there was but the problem remains.

what I mneant is when you ran chkdsk /r, it also runs chkdsk /p

chkdsk /p is like chkdsk /r "lite"

you cannot run it from anything but the recovery console

It wouold not hurt to to reinstall the audio and video drivers

How should I do that?

[gerryf]

go to the manufacturer's website, download the most current drivers, run the setup program

This is the video drivers website.

How do I know what's compatible with my system.

The video folder has two folders in it. One labelled VIA one labelled ATI.

your everst report does say it is VIA/S3G KM400/KN400, so Via it is

apparantly via licensed some technology from s3

I assume I was just meant to download only the 2 drivers(audio and video).

I'm sure I did this correctly but the problem remains.

[gerryf]

i'd probably download them all--it will not hurt to update all drivers.
