[QUOTE="Alien_Galaxy, post: 188921, member: 20823"] Yes, it is my computer, but I haven't used it since I got my Alienware (about 2 or so years ago), so it's hard to remember what programs I had used way back then. I don't believe any backup software is running, as my husband had us networked to one external hard drive that we backed up to. I don't really know much about that. The computer seems to be running okay at the moment. I've been looking through the D:\ drive some more and there is an HP file, and it is appears to be for a keyboard driver.
