    When trying to salvage a slow and unstable Win2k system what are some good alternatives to try before the wonderful fdisk, reformat, install? I have got all the usual conventions down: antivirus scan(Norton), mal/spyware scan(Spybot & Ad-aware), defragment, cleaning up temp and other useless files. Is Anything I have overlooked? Thanks -Mark

      I have some idea to share with you, because your computer is not running stable try to do the folllowing way: - Try to use Windows Update from the start menu, it will check your computer and install necessary security patch, service pack... to protect your computer from virus, an attack from hacker and keep your computer up to date. - Try to use Office Update to scan your computer for security patch or service pack for your Microsoft Product. Both of windows update and office update can be found on www.microsoft.com[^]. - Try to check the your anti virus application, whether it has update its virus definition. Or check its website to see some new virus that always appear everyday. - If there is error message appear, try to note it and check it in the internet to find the solution. Google is the best search engine to search for any information.

        If you have the original CD for installation, or have an image on the hard drive somewhere (most PC OEMs install from the HDD now, it seems) you might try running SFC - System File Checker. It will analyze the critical files used by Windows and prompt you to insert the CD to replace damaged files with fresh copies. I'm not sure if it is reliable after you have made a number of changes via patches and service packs, but it's worth a try.
