Hmmmm,
If I go into control panel, and click on 'firewall', it says it's turned off. BUT, if I go into my windows security center, it says it's still on....Norton at that!

WTF???

The earlier, free versions of regcleaner were pretty good, if you can find one. Regseeker ( google it ) is what I currently use, and it does other things as well.

Thanks backhoe. I'd forgotten that one. RegSeeker is really a good one.

najida: Go here to get RegSeeker

backhoe is right. Regseeker will do almost everything reg 1st aid will do and it is a freeware program.

(I must be getting senile. lol I should've thought of that one. It's a very popular registry cleaner program)

I think what backhoe means by "cleaning the disk" is to re format the disk. Then you'll end up with a "blank" HD and you'll have to reload windows and all your other programs. Myself, I would recommend that only as a last resort.
What say you, backhoe?
