Now type MD BACKUP press enter (this should create a directory called backup)
Now type MOVE autoexec.bat C:\BACKUP press enter (this should move autoexec.bat to the backup folder)

Now do the same for config.sys
MOVE config.sys C:\BACKUP press enter.

See if this works
I tries this, and still no result to my problem. The same. ................Heeeelp ?

It sounds like you have tried everything, you have re-installed, deleted all spyware, checked for viruses, defragged and scandisked your system.

I don't think there is much else you can try to be honest.

Maybe try un-install and then re-install your video card (if those white boxes are still coming up) but other than that I think a complete reload is the only other option.

I was thinking, my very first problem (the reason I started on these forums), besides the slow reactions, was my screen at the bottom rolls up, after I've been on a little while, and it'll flip up and down (good one second, then roll up - only just above the task bar - over and over again until i get annoyed with it). Initially, I was told to shut down, then unplug my video cord, plug in, and repeat a few times, because of possible oxidation buildup. It seemed to work for a little bit, but has been doing it again recent, even after I repeated those steps again. I have had that problem for about 5 months. When it first started, I thought maybe my monitor was going bad. Do you think that this may be a VIDEO CARD problem, and is also related to THIS problem ??
I guess that could explain it all in one shot. Have to maybe check that out. Hate to buy a new one though, and I still have the problem. What do you think ? Anyway to check this ? ....Or do do you have another idea maybe ? I have already gone in to make sure my driver was updated, and is said "the best driver" for my system, but just to make sure there were no hidden problems, I reinstalled the driver from my ATI CD, so that was'nt the problem........?
Thanks for the help.

When you say the screen rolls up, do you mean the Taskbar?

It does sound like it could be a video card problem, the best bet would be to try borrow a video card off a mate or something and try it in your system. That way you could test before buying.

Hello.
Thought I would drop in and give an update on my situation. Everything seems to be fine now. Why ?....who knows.
I reinstalled my Windows over top once again, because installation ran slow the first time, with a couple stops. I just wanted to make sure everything was reinstalled properly. I also uninstalled Norton SystemWorks, Antivirus, and Utilities. Installed AVG Free Edition, in its place. Uninstalled a few programs that were not being used by me, and just being resource hogs. Ran my Antivirus with updates, Registry Cleaner, Spybot, Ad-Aware, ran a IE Repair, Registry Repair, Disc Scan, and Defrag.
Nothing really substantial came up in any of the scans, but then again, I guess you never know just what may be the bug.
Anyway, now everything seems to be fine, and running smoothly. Thanks. It was a learning experience. I know a lot more about keeping my system clean now, and it is running better, and faster now. Thank You...Snake420.
