Now i remember! A month ago i plugged in Arun’s pen drive in my comp,it should have only done all the damage.
Actually mine has a 512 ram and 80 gb HDD. Just bluffing for the heck of it

Yeah i should make a ghost of it. Thanks to Nod32 and zone alarm it made it possible for my OS to survive 2 and a half years.

Sorry dude, it died. That’s why we moved up. Otherwise we would still have it running somewhere.

Seven Hundred And Sixty?!! HOW?! I’ve had a computer since the late 90s and I’ve never had that many. I didn’t even think it was possible.

Of course the reason may be that I didn’t have enough RAM to run 760 viruses.

@ Hari
You are right. It might be because of Arun’s pendrive.
@ Bharath
You are the pro and so you will be right! ROFL
@ Gowthaman
You deserve it “Bandwidth Demon”. I am happy because my system also was formatted few months back and now its like Pentium II system. ROFL

Dai you will have to depend on it for server once we start playing warcraft if Marc is not hosting. So you better mind it.

Windows needs reinstallation every now and then. Especially if you have had viruses running. But even otherwise, no one really knows (even the guys who code at MS) after a while how things will behave. You start having conflicts between programs and all. So reinstalling it makes sense.

However, if your computer is susceptible to virus attacks frequently, or if programs you install screw your registry, then it makes sense to reinstall windows , install all the programs you want and then make a GHOST of it. Next time, you can simply use the ghost instead of a reinstallation. This is much faster than reinstalling and you don’t have to go running around for installation discs.
