  1. Hello Threegee

    Nice to meet you... (again !)

    Thank you so much for the information about my Grandad. I have been searching for a while on the internet and even asking family friends as to where he is buried but all were unsure of the exact location.

    I have many fond, great memories of him and from what I remember he was a well liked man around the town. He used to take me with him to get his tobacco from the local shop and it would take well over an hour due to the number of people coming over to say hello and to have a chat. He was great.

    Now that I know where he is I will come to Bedlington, pay my respects to him and tell him that everything is good with Ian.

    So thank you again for the information, it is really appreciated, and thank you for the kind words you said about him in your post they really mean a lot to me.

    All the best

    Ian

  2. The BB house asked her permission to broadcast the incident. She chose to say yes. She chose to go back in the house and tell everyone live on Tv, she could have just made a quiet exit...not like anyone was watching it.

    It's horrible for her but it pees me off how much publicity these things get it's like 'brave Kylie' just cos they are celebs people think they must be so much braver than the average cancer sufferer. Sorry but I reckon my Grandad is the bravest sufferer I've ever heard of. He's had a tube sticking out of his neck for 12 years!

    Ps I missed most of the horrible jokes/news stories as I was in France. Thank heavens for small mercies.

    without the publicity we'd be ignorrant to a lot of things though the money she gets means her kids are fine money wise but that don't explain mammy not being there...... bless

  3. unable?

    what error message are you getting?

    if its what i'm thinking, i have a way around it.

    could you post the error exactly as it appears when you try to do the error check?

    does the computer actually shut down? or just the application?

    Edit: i probably should mention, you have to do this from an account with administrator privileges. a limited user account would account for alot of your problems, now i come to think about it.

    are you sure the account you are using is an administrative account?

    can't be completed and has to close

  4. are you using avast and AVG together?

    if so, uninstall one or the other.

    you cant run 2 antivirus programs at once.

    unlike antimalware or antispyware programs, which you can have many of.

    do you have the option to download to another pc and transfer?

    also, try this:

    click start > my computer

    right click the C: icon

    select 'properties'

    in the pop-up window, select the 'tools' tab

    select 'error checking'

    check both check boxes and click 'start'

    a warning will appear, saying files are in use, and should you schedual a boot time scan, click yes, or ok, whichever is there.

    the computer will restart, then the screen will go black.

    it will go thru 5 stages, the first 3 pretty quickly, but 4 and 5 may take hours depending on your hard drive size/level of corruption.

    at times it will seem like the scan has frozen, dont be tempted to restart, just let it do its thing.

    if it comes up with anything you have to respond to, agree to whatever it asks.

    after its done, windows will boot normally. re-try your download after this.

    windows unable to do that tried already only avast running defrag just shuts down when i try to use it

  5. Just to re-instate advice from a moved post:

    the above mentioned program has a good review HERE but seems to be a 'pay for' program.

    another free program reccomended for defragging is JKDefrag (download from here ) but i guess these will be useless till you get your download working again :D

    added avast for me no bother can download some things let me get ccleaner when i try for firefox it says file corrupt after download

  6. Quite right, all these programs do slow your system down, especially if you have them all running at startup.

    my recommendations would be 1 antivirus running constantly such as avast, and other programs on an 'as and when needed' basis.

    i have:
    superantispyware
    addaware
    malwarebytes
    hijack this
    peerguardian and
    ccleaner

    all installed on my computer for if/when i ever need them, but i dont have them running at startup.

    i just access the program, update it and run it as and when i feel i need to do a check.

    windows xp this laptop runs on it not mine its a friends not sure if it home or proff tho 21 % free on hard drive just says it un able to run 64 bit edition if that helps yeah i local if you live near spar opens on yahoo when you open ie now
