[QUOTE="Vitesse, post: 123784, member: 8287"] OK followed link, clicked on download and it went to another screen with another download button and clicked again. Long and short of it was that it was a different program which I ran - ReImageRepair - which I was not aware was different. Didn't see a Do It button so thought it would appear later. Looked quite impressive and found a lot of problems / issues - probably not all genuine but of note it did highlight that the hard drive was running at 3 something when the average was 28ish and there was issues with programs failing / hanging - and on reflection that was very correct as a lot of things stop responding and then it takes ages to close and reopen (get messages saying not responding do you want to abort program - click ok/yes and nothing happens - ctl/delete for task manager to do same and doesn't want to appear and when it does not help to close program... Couldnt get a log and wanted payment to fix so realised it was not the correct program so went back to link above and on first page downloaded from another option on screen and got correct program.... Did AntiMalware scan just incase above was bad and it showed clear result. [list] ran it to this stage, computer had to restart to run and after while it came back to screen and ran the disc check....... Couple of hours later it was close to finishing and screen saver came on (not for first time) so got login back and the program had dissappeared from screen. Assumed it had finished and would shortly display again but waited and waited and eventually had to shut down and go to bed. Rebooted up tonight and got pale blue windows screen saying it had to do check on one of the drives as it may be (can't remember the word but began with a c or d and meant it might be unstable). Could abort but decided to let it run and it got clean result and started up. Reopened Repair all in one and it opened up after a while. There was a log which has two lines only about restarting so clicked on Do It again. It then displayed another screen with a load of options of what was needed with option to start fix but was unable to do anything as was preparing to reboot. Went through reboot and got the above mentioned blue screen again. Cancelled process and eventually got account login screen and had to put in password to open. When open the program was not open ready to run. Waited quite a while and them restarted it. Waited and nothing happened. No sign of this second screen. Waited more before clicking on Do It again and then the second screen displayed again...as it went into reboot mode again...... I think it has run this check but won't display? I am assuming that I go to step 3 now. edit: Tried going to step 3 and started SFC but did not get very far as it needed the Windows XP Home Edition CD to be put in CD drive. Got out my Dell Windows XP Home Edition CD and inserted but it kept requesting. This is the disc that came with the PC. It is service pack 1a. Microsoft updates have been since done to service pack 3 so I presume it no longer recognises this disc. There is nothing wrong with CD and it is genuine. It was used about 4 years ago when I replaced the hard drive after blue screen of death. edit: Put in other CD drive and seems to be working.[/list] [/QUOTE]
