Everyone and their grandmother has told me that I need to clean and scan my registry and also sweep for spyware on my PC at least a few times a month. Are there any combo programs out there that can do both? I already have a virus scan and firewall program installed.

If not, which programs are the best for Windows XP? Also, I'm on dial-up so I can't really download programs that are too big. Just thought I'd point that out before someone posted a link to a 15-30MB spyware cleaner. 😉

and yeah ive also used daemon tools be4 my window got infected

I need effective windows registry cleaner because my system is working slow.

I want to install a new clean OS of Windows XP on my computer.

How I usually do it is to boot from the OS CD then format the Hard drive then install a new Windows.

To do this i usually would change the priority boot sequence and put the CD-ROm Drive first… but this time it doesn't work?

I have the motherboard
INTEL D865GLC

It happens like this on all of my computers running this motherboard.

The computer will boot off the CD ONLY if there is no operating system currently on the Hard Drive.

But there is and and want to REdo it.

Is there a way to fix this, or is there another way to format the hard drive and then install a new OS?

My computer has been running slow lately and my friends asked me if I had done a “clean up” on it. I haven’t, they say when I do it, my computer will run faster. ONLY PROBLEM: I have a ton of pictures/videos, I don’t want to lose them! What do I do?
