It takes 10 minutes to reboot my computer! - says He
Oh-come-now... You don't have the fastest machine but 10 minutes? Surely you exaggerate! - says I
10 minutes later Im cleaning out temp files and cookies and the like, deleting old profiles, cleaning up MSConfig, and Defragging AND moving anything that looks important out to his network share.
There you are good as new! says I
10 minutes later Im running Scandisk and Memtest86. Updating NIC and Video drivers. (Yes, I checked the Link Speed and Duplex settings.) Updating Windows and MSOffice (Hey, I figure while Im here.) Updating and running McAfee Enterprise and AdAware. Everything comes back clean. I notice the whopping 10Gig HD only has 800 Megs of free space AFTER I deleted a bunch of stuff! I find an old 30Gig HD in the shop and install. Move the PageFile to D:\ and There you are! SHOULD be good as new. says I
10 minutes later Im giving this machine Major Stink Eye!

Im going out for coffee. says He

WinXP Pro SP3
Gateway e6000, 2.4 Gig CPU, 1 Gig RAM, 10Gig and 30Gig HDs
I'll get a HJT file in a bit. I wanted to get this thing posted asap. Thanx!
