    I’m off to give that a look.

    Talking of pcs problems….. I still can’t get my media player to play sound. My pc has sound but not through any media player, so I can’t play my music aarrrgghhh!
    I’ve tried to download an updated driver for my motherboard but it keeps timing out and not finishing the download 👿 it got 24.3mb from the 25.1mb programme and stopped!!!!! 👿
    Not a happy bunny! 🙁

    windows media player 11 is out altough its a beta version but ive had no problems with it yet. And Windows Vista is not far away now anyway 🙄

    Other option, remove WMP from your windows components list and use Itunes..

    The usb speakers worked fine for a couple of weeks before it stopped.

    Andrew, I’ll have a go at that and see if it makes any difference.

    I’ve just run it too and it cleaned a whole pile of stuff from my PC. Hopefully this will solve my problem with being chucked out of the internet all the time.

    I trust your judgement Nik so I ran this program on my home PC.

    It picked up on a lot of "spyware" and the PC seems to run much quicker now.

    However, I won’t try it on my PCs at work until I am satisfied it really does have a benefit without any downside.

    Thanks for the tip off. 😀

    Hey just my tuppence, but I find winamp excellent for playing music, wmp isn’t half as crisp, and with the sound cranked up it crackles (for me anyway, could be settings somewhere!) but i find winamp is a lot better IMO. Haven’t used itunes mind… for videos use vlc player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) it plays almost anything and it’s free!!

    Hi Nik

    Cheers for the link, I’ve just run it (I did back everything up first though!)
    Found loads a rubbish which has now been cleaned-seems to be running well. I’m now going to run it on my laptop, which is as slow as hell!

    Just a quick "heads up"

    Don’t install this on a windows 98 PC. It will cause it to lock up and even after re-booting will lock you out. Only way around this is to Ctrl Alt Del during boot up and shutdown the program running called AWC. Then un-install.

    Works well on XP though 😀
