Hi there.

The reason why I've asked about BOTH antivirus AND XoftSpy is because
spyware and adware aren't considered to ba avirus. For eample they aren't
detected by Norton Antivirus and consequently aren't removed. I've noticed
significant
improvement in my video computer's performance after cleaning it up with
XoftSpy. There are many drawbacks, thought. I had to re-install quite a

few
programs AND disconnect that computer from the Internet to keep it clean.
XoftSpy cures your computer, but doesn't protect it from repeated

infection
by the same spyware and adware. After cleaning my computer I was getting
same set of bugs on the first
re-boot even without me launching a WEB browser.

To find more information about XoftSpy just use Google. It is one of many
spyware protection programs and probably not the best. Another popular one
is called Spybot. Google on that one too.

If it works fine in safe mode, it is not a seating problem, has to be
drivers or some other software interfering. Get rid of all traces of your
old drivers and get new or ones you know used to work.

Formatting your HD will help until the moment you connect your computer to
the Internet. At the moment of connection you'll get same set of spyware and
adware bugs that you're likely to have now. XoftSpy cures your computer, but
doesn't protect it from repeated infection by the same spyware and adware.
After cleaning my computer I was getting same set of bugs on the first
re-boot even without me launching a WEB browser.

What is wrong with my DVD drive or system? When I try to play a DVD

through
PowerDVD it says "Internal Error." When I try in Windows Media Player

it
says "Playing" But the timer doesn't start. And yesterday it said

some
thing, "Your system is set to DVD region 1. Tp play the DVD, set your
system to region 1." When I try to play the movie in WinDVD, the

picture
comes out, but really choppy, so is the sound. But when it gets to

the
main
menu, I can't select "Play Movie" or any other tabs. Whats wrong with

my
DVD player? It used to work fine the last time I used it, which was

about
a
few months ago. Could someone try to help me? Thanks a lot.

thanks for the help. the problem i am having i would
never guess is related to spyware etc. my screen graphics
just keep freaking out and it won't maintain a clear
picture, eventually getting so bad that i can't see
anything on the desktop. i have a brand new vid
card/installed driver.

this happened to me about 2 months ago so i purchased a
new hard drive, installed windows, got a new vid card and
everything's been fine since.

this is weird. i don't even know how to describe in a
search to research articles. thanks again.
