If the computer is jolted or jostled while running, it can cause bad
sectors on your hard drive. Do a scandisk with a surface scan.
On 8/9/2003 at 6:52 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as cris was
rumoured to have uttered....

| The other day, my mouse fell onto the top of my computer. I
| almost caught it, so it didn't hit hard, but it still hit.
| JUST prior to that, my firewall and anti-virus icons
| disappeared from the lower right hand corner. When the mouse
| fell, The computer started making a really loud noise - maybe
| a vibration ? I shut the computer down right away. Opened the
| case and tightened the wires and 'stuff' rebooted, and the
| sound was gone. When I re-booted, it said my registry files
| had been able to be recovered. I didn't know what happened to
| them - I had shut the computer down normally. I ran Panda on
| line scan - and my norton - and ran my spyware progs.
| Everything checked out fine.
| Now, certain programs are acting strange. I had the older
| version of the free mail washer on here, and it would not
| accept my one e-mail address and was throwing hissy fits. I
| got that working - I removed it and then added it again.
| Today, I tried to open Paint Shop Pro, and it won't open, I
| get one of those microsoft error reports - "paint shop pro
| 7has encounered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for
| the inconvenience" - then do I want to send the error report
| to microsoft.
|
| does anyone have any ideas what might be going on? or how I
| can figure it out?
|
| Thanks for any input!!
