    That sounds right pcombo, I did untick a few things and then got the reactivation when i restarted the computer. Hammyman my sil put another 1 gb of memory in a couple of years ago, is this the same thing? Told you i wasn;t savvy with all of this. Tottally hopeless.
    Donny(sic) how will i post logs, will i be able to copy and paste. Can't do that with the startup menu.

    The following is an extract from my course material for MCSE course (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer), hope it explains:

    " [FONT=&quot]Windows XP periodically checks your system to verify a valid installation. If you alter your system substantially, you may have to reactivate Windows XP.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]This will not happen if you change only a couple of components (e.g. if you add additional RAM or change your video adapter), but if you change more than four major components, be prepared to reactivate Windows XP."[/FONT]
    Thats great,at least i know i haven't done anything drastic.:T

    Where are the Logs for Malwarebytes?
    Have you followed the instruction in posts #17 & 18?

    Fix these:

    R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Companion\Installs\cpn1\yt.dll
    F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe
    O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 protected.maxisoftwaremart.com....


    What was the point of deleting the logs??? Honestly....some people. :)
