| Assuming your system is equipped with up-to-date antivirus software, and that
| you've conducted a full system scan, you can get a second opinion by turning
| to one of my favorite diagnostic tools, Ultimate Boot CD.
|
| This is basically a distribution of Linux that you can burn to a CD. Assuming
| your system is configured to boot from a CD (if not, you can try these
| suggestions), it will allow you to boot up into another operating system
| environment that lets you run a slew of diagnostic checks on the underlying
| hard drive and operating system, including virus scans from at least three
| different anti-malware vendors. It is generally safe to delete any suspect
| files found in these scans, but the scans themselves can take many hours to
| complete, depending on how many files you have on your system.

Ubuntu Linux Boot CD - don’t leave home without it
,----[ Quote ]
| Come presentation time his Powerpoint slides didn’t display properly. After
| each click he had to wait up to 30 seconds for the next slide to appear. Very
| disconcerting to him and his audience. He tried putting the setting back to
| the way they were, but to no avail.
|
| If he had a Ubuntu boot CD with him, he could have recovered this situation
| in about 2 minutes. All he had to do was insert the boot CD in the CD drive,
| ensure that his notebook’s BIOS was set to boot from CD, then go for it.

| wasn't running a real operating system. :-)

Trouble Shooting The Blue Screen of Death
,----[ Quote ]
| Fortunately since Windows 2000 this has become less of a common occurrence,
| or so it seemed. Working late last night at a client’s office on a handful
| of problems already, Windows Vista (Brand new machine, only a week old)
| decided to show me otherwise. While copying some vital files to the
| machine, it restarted windows. After a rebooting to the login screen,
| it then repeated the process of halting and restarted, nice!
