So what exactly does that mean...cleaning. I've used this system for a
year with out problems. I defrag twice a month, scan for viruses once a
week, and do a spyware scans everyday at least twice. All of this has
started recently and how odd is it for windows to just tell you it has
a problem with no option for an explaination or even some sort of error
code. I would love to clean it out but I don't know what that means or
where to begin in doing it. If that means to re-install windows, I
can't do that without loosing all of my pictures because i can't save
them to disc. Is there anyway to repair the problem before
re-installing?
