I have a Dell about 3 years old with a 145 GB HD with 76% free space. Last
year I had viruses and successfully got rid of all of them. I have Norton,
Ad-Aware and Defender. I have updated to IE7, had XPSP1 and updated to XPSP2.
I keep getting the Blue Screen of Death, it freezes up a lot, I constantly
get errors to send Microsoft, and last night my screen saver showed up, but
would not move. It is extremely slow. I have not downloaded any new hardware
or software except for the automatic updates from Microsoft. (I have the old
slow dial up) I have been told to just wipe my HD clean. How do I do this? I
have everything backed up and have all disks that came with the computer and
all disks for software and all disks for hardware. I do not want to have to
pay someone to do something I could probably do with a DETAILED tutorial.
This is getting worse every day. I've tried to use a registry cleaner and
memory test. They just stop in the middle of working. HELP! I'm running out
of ideas.
Thanks in advance for any help from anyone!
