good question. every other day this joint is updating shit. almost like sports scores. Is it that massive of an update each and every time to update it? Drives a guy nuts.

much appreciate the help,guys...found the answer in some geek forum....

it was that g.d.`ed norton/symantec...god,i hate norton......

"""I had the same problem. Norton must disable it in Task scheduler. This is how I fixed it in Windows Vista:

1. Open Task Scheduler (click OK if you get an account not valid error message. I don't yet know what this error is about, so I just ignore it for now).

2. In the left pane, click the arrow next to Task Scheduler Library.

3. Click the arrow next to Microsoft.

4. Click the arrow next to Windows.

5. Click the Defrag folder.

6. In the top section of the middle pane check to see if Defrag shows as disabled. If it does, right click on it to bring up a menu then select enable.

This worked for me. I hope it works for you.""""


worked like a fricking champ....:weed:

again,i really appreciate the help.....:toast:

Anytime there is a computer post about some kind of problem...........someone............inevitably........says............


"Hey - Get malware bytes. It works."


Since I didn't see it here - thought I would help out.


Also - get a mac.

What do you mean "buzzing"?
Click to expand...

like a static sound.....it`s coming out of the speakers....not sure if it`s the computer,or something to do with the speaker connection.....

i have to admit...now that i got the defrag operation running,this p.o.s. is running much smoother...
