Gamerr Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Well, i'm having major problems with my PC. It runs on Windows 98, his age is 7 and he got a lot of bugs/pop-ups and slow programs. Hotmail and RuneScape don't fonction right, because they are running slow and mostly aren't running at all. Since i'm not in so big need of a PC, i never thought of buying a new one because i got a PS2 to play my games on. So is it worth to buy a new one now, or should i wait 2 more years till i'm at university and then i automatically buy a new one financial compensated by my parents.

Vape Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Try reformatting. Don't just jump in and go if you don't know what you're doing though. If you're at all cautious, go to a pc repair place and pay someone to do it for you. Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerr Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Isn't that expensive, because there's nothing really wrong, it are probably spyware that has been installed on the harddisk. And ad-aware and stuff don't help anymore... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 actually in heinsight I was probably overreacting a little. Post a hijackthis log here. If you don't know what that is, google. Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you still get Win98 format discs? :P Try getting your hands on a WinXP Pro CD if you're running over 192mb of RAM. It may run a tiny bit slower, but it worth it. -Mitch- New sig to come!
