need computer help
 

ok my desk top is slower then balls right now. I bought this thing used so its about 5 years old right now. It does everything I want and is usally fairly quick. Its on windows me which sucks balls, I dont have and discs for anything but I need to wipe it clean and reinstall all new ----. I have downloaded who know what to it over the years. Should I just say ---- it and go buy a new tower, buy new programs and start over, if so what all would I need? Can a person take it to a shop and get this done without buying programs? I Keep in mind I'm puter retarded :y I only use this bitch to surf the interweb so its not like I need a big gaming computer. let me know what you think

Re: need computer help

Re: need computer help
 

buying a new compuer would be pretty cheep, tell me what you want it to do and i can peice together a system that would do everything you wanted for a damn good price.


Hijack this is a program that tells all of the software thats running, all of the software thats hidden to run in your registry and all of the software thats linked to BHO objects so I can see whats wrong with the computer.

Re: need computer help
 

I would highly suggest getting rid of anything Symantec. I hate it and haven't ran across too many computers that haven't been fucked after their licence expires or they stop paying for it. It buries itself pretty deep and usually needs a tool to uninstallit all the way. I mean ---- there is like 6 different things from symatec running on that ----. just my opinion though. I think I have that extractor somewhere.....

Re: need computer help
 

that would be great :)

Re: need computer help
 

thats the right thing, ill go over it all in a few hours

Re: need computer help
 

Old computers work fine if you aren't gaming, video editing, or doing CAD.

New computers are nice, and not too expensive, depending on whether you buy from a boutique or go rawr-express.

You've got plenty of options.

I picked up a 3.06Ghz P4, 768Mb DDR400, 200Gb Seagate drive, and 256Mb 8X AGP Radeon X850 vid card with DVD-RW for $200 off a friend; hook up keyboard/monitor/trackball and boot. The video card alone sells new for $150-240 depending on exactly who is packaging the chipset. High end gamer geeks usually annoy me - think the 42 psi stock K20 video HT crowd meets the gamer world - but they let perfectly good ---- go for pennies to fund their next stupid build, just because the equipment is a year old. Think of the sort of people ichbinsobose slaps around like they are bitches. I suggest you talk to some late teen to 20-something dildo geeks and see what you can't drum up. It's the HMT way to go... :y

Re: need computer help
 

thanks! :)

My computer seems to do me just fine I would like to change it to xp from me but I really dont need a 1200 dollar tower for what I do.^^^^^^ If I had kids like that around here that would be a kick ass idea :D

Re: need computer help
 

Download one of the TinyXP iso's from thepiratebay, rev3 IIRC uses 65 megs of RAM and uses only a handful of processes. Immediately install a boutique of anti-spyware softwares scheduled to run automatically, and a software firewall like ZoneAlarm. You should be fine.

Re: need computer help
 

you can get a pretty damn good tower from best buy for less than $700. just dont buy any of the extended warranties and dont buy any of the antivirus/spyware they try to sell you. take it off the shelf and go.

hell, you can even buy a pretty good package deal for like 800 with a printer, flat lcd, key board, and mouse.

or get some cheap laptop.

Re: need computer help
 

I'll sell you a computer pretty cheap if you want, amd 3000 1 gig ram, like 400 gigs, fresh windows install with a bunch of software, couple hundred if you want.

but just do a fresh student version windows install, dl from demonoid.com ,but you should buy my ---- if you want

Re: need computer help
 

would that be a amd sempron 3000+ cuz thats what I was looking at the other day.

any more specs? pics? dvd burner?
