Often my graphics card crashes and this sometimes freezes the whole pc and the only way that i can sort it out on these ocassions is to turn the pc off at the wall. Usually this causes no problem however last time I did it the following two things had happend:

- The wall paper had vanished

- One of the folders on the desktop had also vanished and was not found in the recycle bin.

I am writting to ask if anyone can shed some light on this as to why and what happend here.

thanks

update the video card drivers. start > run > dxdiag > enter > display, box on the upper left should contain your video card info, go to the mfg's website and d/'l the latest drivers for your vc.

As the problems you discuss are also traits of a known virus, I would also recommend following the prework link in my signature and following the prompts there, as well.

thanks,

thx dude i will check this out

de nada. Sort of what we're here for.

sorry i took so long to get this done, but here you will find attached is the hjt log.
I cd not upload the avg log as it said invalid file type.

I hope this log will tell us something, the main concern for me is that the pc is deff slower than in the past.
