Not anymore. I did a few things myself to see if it would help. I changed my desktop theme to classic, cleaned up system restore, diskcleanup on all my hard drives, scandisk on all my hard drives, defragmented all my hard drives, cleaned up pointless things I didn't need on my hard drives any longer, also I took my two partitions from one of my hard drives off of the system restore list. I believe the situation was that the windows hard drive was being over excerted because of the fact that there was too much space being used on it. In regular mode it said I was using 7 GBs of space on my windows hard drive also it would not allow me to clean up system restore. I cleaned it up and it still I had all the restore points instead of only the most latest one, but once I went into safe mode it told me different, also it said that there was only the most recent restore point. So I did all I said I did above in safe mode and restarted the system in regular mode and to my surprise everything said the right things. So I am quite sure that it is running correctly now. Right now I am on my mom's computer doing as you told me to do in the other thread. I just hope my mom's computer does not have the same problem with it. Because in regular mode it says she is using 7.10GBs. I believe it is doing the same thing in safe mode too so there has to be a worse problem than my computer I guess. I just hope it can be fixed because she has been upset because recently her flat screen monitor blew up. She woke up and seen her monitor was all white with small blue and pink lines on the screen up and down. The computer was not on and the monitor was acting as if the computer was on though. It would not shut off and we had to unplug it. We plugged it back up to the computer and all it does now is just have a black screen and flash every once in a while when the computer is on. I had to give her a fat monitor the same as mine but older. I will tell you more about this in the other thread if you need me too just say so.
