Super tat it worked out. Also glad you didn't rip your system apart. Altho the other suggestions were very valid, there are a lot of things that can cause what happened to you (as you found out). I feel people are a bit too quick to reformat/reinstall without proper investigation.In addition to the virus scan, do a solid spyware scan also.VicQ6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.6Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP SP3/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx Nvidia 169.13 betaKandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpgRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/

2.5 gigs is not a whole lot of space these days. Temp files can easily eat that. How big is this drive? A good rule of thumb is to have AT LEAST 10% free disk space. For a 250 GB drive, that's 25 GB. If you start filling even close to 90% of a disk, you're going to start seeing slow downs, and risk fillups very easily.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180

>2.5 gigs is not a whole lot of space these days.It's way more than zero bytes as it was short before, and it's apparently enuff to load the original profile, run the system and be able to further investigate. :( But yes, you are of course correct! Thanks for the input! ;)Cheers, :-beerchugEtienne :-wave
