Today when i was uninstalling old programs my pc jammed up so i went for dinner.
when i got back from dinner aall the programs had terminated and my computers not been the same since
most of the sounds are really messed up and slow
for instlnce the msn messenger noise for a recived message should be dun dun dun (getting higher on each "Dun" ) but is like dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn staying at the same tone all the time itunes also starts of weird but is working fine at the moment
the sound when you log onto winxp also screws up and when i start my pc when loading xp the things that go across the screen usually go across 5-7 times but they are going across 20 times +
Sorry for the lack of puntiation and gramatical error
i am writing this in a hurry
hope it makes sense and someone can help me out

Thanks in advance
Tom

Actually no. Restart your computer. Thats your processer being boged down. Shut her down. And come back about 30 min later. Should do the trick just fine.

Yea, that could help alot. Also a reformat may not be a bad idea.

Oh No !! I dreaded hearing that advice
I ll see how the reformat (78%done) works out
it will take an age to back up all the files i need to :(

When was the last time you actually reformatted? You should do it once a year.
