Here\'s a good free Registry Cleaner ~>
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2048 (RegScrubXP)

Here\'s another one that has many other features (my favorite) ~>
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/34289 (CCleaner)

Can fix registry issues as well as delete a bunch of useless shit that clogs up your hard drive space. Also allows you to edit your startup programs and uninstall programs faster than the Add/Remove thing.

What anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall are you using?

AVG/SpyBot/None at the moment

I have been noticing something in the last 15 minutes. The more I refresh or visit a particular site(if I go through the main page and not a bookmark) more and more sites are showing up.

if it helps...i used the reg. cleaner you suggested and I also have used R-Wipe&Clean

Post by: luckee on September 27, 2006, 10:49:05 PM: Just when i was starting to think the more i refresh the better things are...nope. Seems as if a page will load correctly if it wants to or not. I just have better luck if I have been refreshing
