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

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?

You have put me at peace, so what is Transactional NTFS, ? Must be an upgrade from the older version NTFS
And by the sounds of it MS is going to work on that aspect of things
When I tried to put something in the Windows newsgroups I got an error just like one time before
I may have to try a new NIC in this thing ( Old 3com hardware NIC )
Thanks again

transactional ntfs

As for the newsgroups, do you have an msn passport? What error, it doesn't sound like you are trying very hard to post.

I can log in using my user name and password, and once I click that send button it is up to their server to do it
Unless I need another level of log in , But now that I know what is going on with my system I can relax
It is 4 am and my bed is calling me
thanks again Noo :)
