I posted in this forums a little while ago, and everything worked out fine. Since then, I've upgraded to Windows XP Pro. I started to notice a problem around the time I changed the "start" button to "shortysnmn2010" with regedit [I doubt this is the problem, because it worked and this was the only tweak I made] & when I was downloading programs from various sites. Some of the problems I've encountered:
- Limewire will start up seconds after it is shut down [Doesn't happen anymore because I manually put the hard drive in another computer to delete its entire folder, which I couldn't do on this computer]
- Typing in "Regedit" in the run menu results in the program crashing, yet it will work when I open it from the windows folder
- Task manager will not load when I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, nor when I try to open it from the run menu or windows folder
- Movies I have on my computer tend to skip to the point where I have to turn off Media Player / WinAmp (although lately, this hasn't happened - instead Windows Media Player and WinAmp respond terribly slow when trying to jump to a different section of the movie
If you guys could help me out again..I'd really appreciate it...thanks
