over the past week, the problems with y PC have been getting uch worse... it used to be just a promt every now and them to close my internet, but since then, its gotten worse... i cant defrag or anything... i get asked to run the chkdsk /f and when i do, it says the drive is currently in use and cant be locked and so asks me if i want to run chkdsk next time i boot... so i select Y, restart, and no chkdsk happens... i want to chkdsk my E drive, which has my OS on it. today, i purchased the windows 7 upgrade (seeing as i already have xp) and wen i click install... this happens: i have a feeling i have registry problems, if anyone knows of any free registry cleaners, please link em ^^ any help is awsomely appreciated.

Ack I see the word MyWebSearch there, evil crappy spyware, if you don't already have it get Superantispyware, update it then scan and remove the junk. You could also try the free version of Removeitpro which often finds nasty trojans that other stuff doesn't pick up however it also labels some stuff that's not generally considered to be dangerous. Ccleaner also has a good registry cleaning tool built into it. I generally download my utillities from www.majorgeeks.com if you want a one stop for helpful software.

ok, i seem to have found a fix for it now... i just ooted up with windows 7 in the disc tray, went to BIOS, and set the boot priority to my DVD drive only... eerything seems to have ran fine from there so far heh... definatly alot different looking compared to xp ^^ now im going to have to hunt down my NWN discs.. atleast i have my CD keys emailed to myself hehe, though if i cant find the discs, ill have to downoad it from some dodgy P2P thanks all for the helpful suggestions, and yes chain, stupid malware junk.. that one you linked kobra is a very nice one indeed... id definatly recommend it, even cleaned up my drive with the defragger on it
