Techz is on leave I think; I'm filling in.

I never touched any dodgy copies of XP you may have nicked from your old company; you're just jealous of my Action Pack.

I like what I see in RC 2, Yes it even works on my system and I find it quit snappy in areas
I even find that Firefox loads quicker than in XP , So I think they are getting something right

And the rootkit problem?

**format c:** · October 10th, 2006, 02:59 PM

I ran rootkit revealer again and the same files show up on both drives, I a going to try and post the output of rootkit revealer , I tried and the program locked up, I am having system slowdowns after downloading a Linux distro for my other box , If I get it to save then I will post the text

I am unable to save the output to a text file, rootkit revealer just locks up, I can get a clipboard view, how do I convert that to a jpg, I have forgotten

Thanks Noo
I just had some straannge behavior on the pc, I burned a Linux DVD to install Linux on another system
When I was done I closed Nero down
I got the small hour glass flickering next to my mouse pointer and rundll 32 was appearing and disappearing in task manager
I reopened Nero and then closed it and this wierdness stopped
I am going to try and get you a screen shot of the rootkit revealer output

This is information that MS needs, have you posted on the newsgroups? I assume you are a public rc2 user and not part of the beta team?

Here is a screen shot, I just had more discrepancies show up , I am thinking of using that Linux cd on this thing
Now to figure out this Windows forum , I just want to use my computer , Might be time for a Mac
