[quote]If you want your system running optimally.....stop fucking with it.[/quote] Good advice. I've never let SMP do anything on it's own, no tasks setup or anything. I originally bought it because I was having problems with an old computer and it seemed like a good package deal. The tuneup features bundled with virus protection and firewall. Now with 7, they dropped the firewall feature and a few other things. Still use it for the tuneup stuff and the v

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="17" id="2526012"]Thanks for the info, yrag. What about iolo's stuff didn't you like? Not looking for a "no mine's better" thread...just want to learn. [/quote] Same here. I'm always open to this type of thing, and thought I had found a great tool with SMP.

[quote]I'm not a fan of System Mechanic....for what that's worth.[/quote] Well, in being around here since 2005 and seeing how much you know, that's worth a lot to me. I've been using SM since about that same time though and have never had any problems with it. Is there something better that you'd be willing to recommend? If I'm wasting my money with SM, I'd like to know. I'll get the info you asked for as soon as I can.

[quote]What does the BSOD say?[/quote] It usually reboots quicker than I can get all the info...I'd have to find the dumps to get all of it. [quote]...and exactly what have you done lately?[/quote] It started after the most recent updates for Win7. Like I said, I re-installed Win7, and let it update. The only other program on the HD was System Mechanic Professional. I didn't really give it a chance to see if it would happen without the updates, which

[quote who="yrag" reply="5" id="2524886"]It's not the HD nor graphic card. Start/ All Programs/ Accessories: right-click Command Prompt: Run as Administrator. Type: sfc /scannow [/quote] Luckily, I didn't have a chance to act on my plan last night. I'll try this suggestion from the guru and report back.

This is driving me nutty. Since I don't know what's causing it, and I've got no other programs on that drive except System Mechanic Pro, I'm going to use iolo Drive Scrubber to wipe it completely clean using the boot cd option and reinstall Win7. I'm going to disable Windows Update for a few days and see what happens. I'll create a restore point upon install and then load my drivers and create another restore point before I do any kind of program installs. I'

I don't think anyone should HAVE to skin all three OSs. If I purchase a Master skin though, it would be nice to have support for all three OSs, since there are three OSs out there that I may or may not be using. For me, I have all three, but others don't. I understand that and so do skinners. But you can't expect someone to do something. You can't make them do it either. Either they do, or they don't. In the end, it'

Lately I've been getting alot of BSODs. I've been getting 0x24, which is a NTFS failure and I've gotten 0x1 which is an APC Index Mismatch. I thought that maybe the NTFS was a hd failure about to become fatal so I put in a different hd that had Win7 on it before I got a new hd. Win7 went out and updated and within about 30 minutes, BSOD. My drivers are up to date as far as I can tell. I even re-installed Win7 on the newer hd and after getting upd

[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="58" id="2522360"] The code is more like guidelines really. What you need to know… 1.You can only thump a Troll on Troll Thumping Day, which is every February First. To thump before or after February First will guarantee you bad luck through out the year. 2.You may only thump a Troll on the brow. Anywhere else will guarantee you bad luck through out the year.

[quote]I am finding out latley from reading most of these post. Including the ones about the iPad. That this is a very male oriented site and there are a lot of citizens here who make it difficult to be a women and enjoy the forums. I have been a Wincustomize user for about 5 years now and I really thought it would get better. But it hasn't. I have learned so much from you all and (being a very late computer user) and have alway leaned on this site and a few others to help me figure out what
