something similar to Norton Ghurst?

I think you mean Norton Ghost. Whats wrong with the built in vista program then ?

If you really want Norton Ghost download this and install it.

theis will give you a free and working copy of norton ghost

Ta, I'll give it a whirl

PS

Norton Ghurst is the geordie version

i'm having major laptop problems at the moment....

When i switch commy on, go to open a web page, it'll open, then just freeze, it'll look like it's loading, but it will just stick for ages n ages

Anything that can be done for that?

Only had it since feb it cant be buggered already.

Go to www.filehippo.com and download ccleaner, run it and it will clear all of the shite on your PC

Normally that would be easy to do, and i do appreciate the advice, it's just with the web pages sticking as soon as i open em, i cant get on anything, if you know what i mean...

Doh!


What web browser is it?

Do you know how to clear the cache and whatnot?

i've got firefox and explorer, i've cleared it, still sticking

gunna just chuck it in the bin i reckon

Have you tried a system restore?

Thats my last last option, gunna get another friend to look at it first.

System retore wouldn't work. You'd just restore the same shite thats causing you a problem.

It sounds like its trying to load something that doesn't agree with it. Maybe a java application.

Boot into safe mode (press F8 at startup) then open a browser window, clear the cache, then check what add on you have loaded. If you don't recognise it then you probably don't need it so disable it.

Install CC cleaner, download it on whatever computer works then install it from a memory stick or CD.

Run that, also in safe mode.

a system restore would work, if you can get it back to the point before whatever is causing the issue, I had the same problem last week and rolled it back to before an microsoft update and it cured the problem


Pubey has too much porn on that there hard disk, simples!

Sorry mon ami,

If its viral it would infect the restore files too. Check any virus fix and step one is always to disable system restore.

Aye true

It still amazes me peeps still don't update and use protection on their PC's (not that I don't believe Pubey isn't rubbered up in PC terms!)

Being the dodgy character he is, his Windows version is probably knock off and won't update.

As a back up program a use something called second copy which is free http://centered.com/download.html
As for cleaning it up, use Avast as an antivirus and 2 programs for spyware, malwarebytes and superantispyware both free versions.
I turn off system restore it rarely does much good especially for viruses and spyware as mentioned.

oh and dont use norton ghost if it ever screws up (and it will) the drive is unreadable in any other machine while ghost is installed.

cheers for the help geezers, the fuckin thing wont even load up in safe mode, just doesn't wanna know, might be all the porn i download, brothers picked it up too look at

Its more than likely a damaged system file which is causing your window to freeze, goto control panel when it freezes by press CTRL ALT DELETE and see which process is hogging your memory and return with your info.
