i thought of that but dont trust it completely, reckon you could pm me a link or even pm me your email if we cannot send stuff like that there

Unless you have a friend who can lend you the install DVD that's the best place to get it.

ive hopefully managed to get it sorted without a reinstall.. i went over to the sevenforums and asked the question there, someone suggested i do a boot time virus scan, sure enough it picked something up that was left over. no idea where it came from but hopefully its gone now... laptop running smooth and slow.. ill stress test it later but thats enough for one night. thanks for the input guys

This may sound really stupid, but I know I've forgotten it a couple of times and it's usually what kills my CPU: Is your batter setting set to High Performance and not Power Saver?

In case you need to re-install . http://www.renjusblog.com/2009/09/fr...-download.html . I just did a fresh install of windows 7 Home premium x64 on a laptop that I was selling.
