It'll do until next version of Winblowz comes out.


NO longhorn for me. I will stick to XP (although do to only having 64 MB of RAM right now until my ebay purchases get here I am stuck with a suprisingly very STABLE Windows ME.)

WinME was never, ever "stable" for me, but I'll swear by WinXP...

Citizen r3fr, you have a good idea. That would be one of my recommendations too. But, the wrong program. Spybot Search and Destroy is a much better spyware killer. It also searches for bad registry references which can also slow down the computer. Optimizing your registry is important. If you have never done it before you may notice a hundred bad references. But, be careful. It is better to repair misplaced references than deleting ones that you are unfamilar with. If you mess up your registry, you can kiss windows goodbye. Spybot is free.


Yeah, I think you have to pay for the full version of Ad-Aware, but i'm not sure. Also Lenko, you might run disk defragger once, twice, or a thrice time to get them fragged files in order.

try diskkeeper. works better at defraging a drive than the regular windows defrag.

and diskkepper lite is free.

TasT has been relegated to using the server. Wife is Sick and I needed out of the house and the server is in the garage.

gahmmmm... no one seems to have Celron processors here.I wonder why???


The household server is a dual 500 MHz Celeron system and it works fine, though it no longer has any stardock products on it, when it did I had no problem.
