If freeze up's are happening without disk access, something is accessing the disk to cause the problem. Go to control panal and check the scheduled tasks icon and see was is in there. Remove all scheduled tasks. Also go to the power options icon in control panal and set everything to "never". There is something accessing the system somewhere to cause this problem.This would cause Linux to freeze as well.It could be several things that cause this problem, from two pieces
of hardware bumping heads at startup to corrupt files or sectors on
the hard drive.
This might help, but the freezes occur also when the drive is notI would first try running Scandisk in "through

As I said, it would freeze Linux as well.This will
take some time, but may reveal a sector on the hard drive that is
bad containing corrupt files. If that dosen't produce a cure, then
try what I told Jeff to do next. Another thing may be a memory chip
going bad. There are several diagnostic programs that will check
the hardware on your system.

I'm not trying to quarrel but I'm a user as well & have not had problems - maybe I'm just lucky. I doubt if I could perform all the functions myself. I have been able to remove leech files that I could not access in the normal way. I certainly couldn't perform all the functions with one press of a key (once it has been setup.) End of sales pitch (its free).Dear KEITH-C:
You might want to have a look at users opinion of EE at
download.com or other similar sites. They don't seem very happy
with EE. And besides, everything you do with EE you could do it by
yourself in a couple of minutes without having to spend money.

I don't have any problems under Linux. That's why I said it's not a hardware problem.I'm still thinking Toughluck has video or sound card driver issues.
Try updating them. I had a similar problem once and it was the
video card drivers although they were only 4 months old. I checked
again and there were newer drivers that fixed my computer "hang"
problem.
Are you saying you have the same problem in Win XP and Linux?? What
version of Linux is it?
I just got home from work. I have to read all the replies and start
trouble shooting. Dp review works as long as I don't click on any
links in posts. Each replie works ok.
I will post again after I trouble shoot.
Thanks
Jeff

The problem is still not fixed. I will get back in a little bit
after some more fixing.

Got erratic behavior many times with Windows 95 and 98 SE. Called it DLL- rot and reinstalled Windows just over the existing one. Had to update then the last patches and things again from Microsoft and things went smoothly again. There was even a power user who wrote that he did Win 98SE reinstallations with all his programs from scratch on a regular time base of 1/2 a year as preventive measure. Windows XP is so much better: The only big failure within 2 years could be rescued by an build feature: Going back and restore to a former situation.Sacha,
We've done just about everytrhing mentioned in this thread. As of
right now the computer seems to be working pretty good. Everything
is loading and loading quicker.
5.5 hrs of fixing...
I will let you know tomorrow if everything is still working good.
Thanks
Jeff
Keith, be assured that I realized your intent was as altruistic as all the other posters trying to help here. No way did I personally see it as a "sell job".I've just looked at Download.com & see that the latest version is
150 dollars - it may well be the fact that the version 3.1SE that
I'm using was free that has swayed my judgment!
For that price I would expect it to make my breakfast & hoover the
carpets!
I suspect that this product is now aimed at those who want to stay
out of jail by removing all traces of dubious files & while not
condoning such activities - for them it might be worth it!

Oh, Bill - a warning for you. Your post might very well stir a
'you're a troll' reply - don't pay attention to it.
