DAVE9999 ...... Do you have ccleaner setup per the screenshot I included above .....because if you look in the system portion of the screenshot , you will see that TEMP files are marked for removal ......... So I don't know why ypours isnt being removed . Have you actually gone into C:/windows/temp and looked to see if its empty or not ....? If it isn't , go there and once in the temp file , click edit ....select all and delete ...... Oh yes and be sure that nothing else is open .....


Hello dl65,  Yes the C:\windows\temp is totally empty.    All the stuff that has been downloaded, big programs and that have gone to   C:\temp\ .   not to C:\Windows\temp,    I may well have manually made that file up ages ago, then ever since the big programs I've down loaded have gone there.

Maybe, I should delete that temp file altogether, after deleting its contents???  Is that a good idea.

The comp is set up for Me and "Administrater".  cant remember when that was set up.

      good ...thats the folder that ccleaner empties whenever you run it ......
      I would suggest deleting the other temp folder that you created ........ ( if for some reason things don't work right , you can always create a new one but you really don't need it )

      dl65.
      No I was asked to make a Recovery disc, but only had CD re- recordable discs and they wanted the once only type.
      I never got round to making any.
      I'm deleting contents of C:\temp now

          hello dl65, after deleting the contents of C:temp there are 3 left that are ment to be "system files"
          1 Desktop ...configeration settings
          2 Thumbs ..data base file
          3  Dvd system file.

          It says they are needed by other programs.  

          Without any way of restoring lost data, is it best to leave

          C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\1033\Wizards\crdus54w.wwp\Object 2\Contents\ [E] ARC archive is corrupted. (42133)

          D:\PRELOAD\data9_01.inp\bckgres.dll [E] CAB archive is corrupted. (42127)
          D:\PRELOAD\data9_02.inp\fxst30.dll [E] CAB archive is corrupted. (42127)
          D:\PRELOAD\data9_05.inp\imkr61.chm [E] CAB archive is corrupted. (42127)

                DAVE9999 ......... Those are all the preloaded programs etc.... thats the solution to the restore issue ....do you have the manual that came with the machine ...as there should be info  on how the reload the original configuration .

                  Hello dl65, just looked through it, they say "all programs that were preinstalled on your computor are available on the backup restore discs that you created with the recovery media program"
                  I didn't cause i didn't have the cd-r discs to hand.  just got out tonight what I thought was a sealed pack of cd discs with all the data on it.....Turns out the  6 discs are blank cd-r discs that they provoided  for me to copy on.

                  Now that is a sod.  All the time I had some blank cd-r discs!.  

                  They say "you can use the back up restore discs or you can use the back up files located on your computor".

                  Well i cant do either, cause some of those files are corrupted, and i havent the discs to load up.

                  Stuffed  on that one then.!

                  Is it best just to leave it then,
                  Now that those nasties have been enprisened in the "Avenger" zip file.
                  As long as the corruption in the D;\ restore doesn't spread.  
                  Ill just have to carry on.
                  I wouldnt want to get any resore disks from the vendor, they would charge as much as Gate's Windows Xp would cost, or a good way to it,, even if they had one for my model.

                  You say after looking at the latest HJT file, there may be two problems,  can those be fixed and I'll clear off out the way.

                  if you want to get rid of teh viruses i recommend AVG anti virus free edition which can be found here: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

                  good program, you will have to get rid of any other anti virus programs already installed though, i use avg free and would reccomend it to anyone
