OK, here's what you do.

- Insert the Windows XP Install Disk
- Format drive C:\
- Reinstall Windows
- Reinstall GTA SA
- Reinstall SA-MP
- Forget about all your old crap
- Voila!

That's what I'd do. But, I don't care about my Windows partition - probably different with you.

my laptop came with XP on it already, i didnt get no disk!


Re: Sad to say but... - cloakster - 05-27-2007

Did you get the laptop from a manufacturer like Sony or Dell or Acer or etc.


Re: Sad to say but... - [BA]PennyWise - 05-27-2007

Scan, delete all viruses, simple, if no reformat and go buy windows xp :)


Re: Sad to say but... - BoogerJay - 05-27-2007

System Recovery from the day it was working the best or from the day you Re-installed something

Start>all programs>accessories>SystemTools>SystemRecovery.

Start>all programs>accessories>SystemTools>Disk Defragment After that


Tell me if that works!

Next piece of advise, download HijackThis, make the program do a scan and put the logfile on here. This is a really good program if virus scanners dont work anymore.


Re: Sad to say but... - Joeri - 05-27-2007

that can work also
but u said that turning off MSN workek a little, so its some virus (or some weird active X plugin)

Ok. to install limewire? Try Just installing it.... might be eaiser

Crashes could be due to internet problems. try Getting Nortan connection Keep alive. That helps me a lot

And pop-ups. Try getting google toolbar, It includes a Pop-Up blocker!

No offence, but that was the dumbest post ever.

Their 'limewire' is probably something that's trojaned or infected, the crashes aren't because of internet problems as we know - they are caused by something on his computer. And the google toolbar won't really block much as it's a program telling IE to open the window - not a page on the internet (what popup blockers scan).
