My computer runs like crap! I have a Dell Dimension 2400 thats around a year old. It ran great when I first got it, since then my little brother was allowed on the computer and would download more bullsh\*t than you could imagine. All kind of spyware and java crap so he could play stupid games. I tried to reinstall xp and it just installed another copy! I lost all my music, vids, progs. everything. How can I start from scratch? I want XP off the computer, and I want it back like it was when I first got it. I tried to format the drive and it said drive locked!!! GRRRR!!! -j ---

Because it will not let me start from scratch. I can’t remove XP. I hate spyware, but atleast with win98 I could just remove/reinstall and start over. -j ---

I had the same exact setup and mine ran flawlessy until i switched over to Server 2k3. Have you tried to run a spyware remover like ad-aware and such you’ll probably have to run it for a week straight but it will get the job done
