  1. Bubba Bob you might want to check the rubber brake hoses on the front brakes,if one is "balloning" it will cause a brake pull The right front is most likely the culprit
  2. I never had any problems with Norton before even after a reinstall about a year an a half ago This problem popped last week when I had to replace the hdd,but like I said,after giving Mr Norton his walking papers the ole compy is working great! I have every anti-spyware and anti-malware progam yall recommend. So between them and Avast anti-virus I think that I will be okay
  3. Good news! I removed Norton Anti-virus 2004(even though it had a valid subsciption through 3-2008) and the system works flawless! I shoud have known when XP'S security center had a fit about it. I'm almost tempted to reload it,but if it ain't broke,don't fix it I think AVAST will be fine Thanks all for yall's responses
  4. this is the screensaver options that came windows I will try turning off screensaver and see what happens tonight The power settings are always on never turn off anything. As to programs, nothing that I did not have befoe the hdd failure, infact I did not put everything I had before back on
  5. Greetings to all the Windows Wizards of Besttechie! I recently had a total harddrive failure and replaced it with a new one I reloaded with the Sony recovery disks,loaded service pack 2 and norton ant-virus I downloaded and installed all Microsoft updates for XP Here's the problem,after exended idle time(overnight) when I try to to get back on it takes a long time to come off screensaver and go to the welcome page( five minutes plus) After the welcome screen another five minutes to desktop. Everything is extremely slow to open if at all If I shut down (even this takes awhile) and reboot
  6. Thanks Honda Boy! That is some great tunes. As an old metal head myself,I like it. The youngsters at the shop will really think the old man stepped out when they these!
