444436 2006-04-06 11:05:00 Alright where should I start . I bought an acer aspire e360(amd 64 3800 dualcore , 2x512 of pc3200 ram , windows xp and upgraded to a pci-e evga 6800gs) about 3 weeks ago and it was running fine in the beginning until I installed gamexp which screwed up my windows and the only way to fix it was to use my "eRecovery" disc that I burned when I got it. Well , after I did that i've been using ALOT of memory (200-300k+) that I cant acount for . I added up all my processes that im running in task manager and it comes out to about 215k but then I look at the performance tab and it says I only have around 480k available out of my 1gig. Where is all this ram being used???!!! I think that when I used my eRecovery disc it just put another windows xp over this one? If that is the case how can I tell if im running this os over the old one? Or could the problem be something else?


ps

sry for the spelling it's 1am

The recovery disk wouldn't install a new os, moreso replace the files that needed replacing...their is something else perhaps an OEM software trying to do something you got another software for...I know (for example) if you had 2 antivirus's running, it would kill your processes...

444439 2006-04-06 18:53:00 ...if you had 2 antivirus's running, it would kill your processes...

It was a guess, not really a diagnosis....but damn...I'm good (or just lucky)

First thing I see is the Grisoft and Norton...Grisoft is running an antivirus, and so is Norton - uninstall one of those, that will most likely have a HUGE impact on your processes

444442 2006-04-06 21:13:00 Log looks fine to me. Run HJT again tick these entries and tick fix checked.

Are you running 2 firewalls? You only need one, 2 firewalls may conflict with each other.
