Hi all. Finally got my machine running correctly! It's a flying machine now! No stalls, no bottle necks nothing! Just want to say thank you very much to everyone for your suggestions. I brought it down on Wednesday and they changed a hard drive they fitted last year. I just sit here and smile when I see how fast audio is being encoded, video is playing seemlessly, while I read email and/or browse the net or copy files from hard drive to hard drive or burn a cd. Now my question. When they re-installed XP the main account is called, "Mr Toner". I've went into User Acounts and changed this to Barry but even thoguht it has changed it still has Mr Toner's documents and when i log in the processes are being ran by Mr Toner. Is there anyway to remedy this without deleting this account which would probably cause me no end of hassles.
