I have: Win ME, use Foxfire, no viruses (PCcillin), no spyware

For a couple of weeks, my computer has been locking up. It doesn't seem
to
be application specific. I can't even esc or ctrl alt del---have to
manually
turn power off CPU and reboot.

I never have gotten an error message.

The latest thing I downloaded was TurboTax---which by the way is a piece
of
crap. I uninstalled it. And I recently downloaded "Registry Mechanic."

Any ideas?

I think Registry Mechanic might cut to close to the bone... were your
problems prior to running Registry Mechanic ?

No. I will uninstall it to see if it helps. If it does, I will be asking
them for a refund. will let you know.


Uninstallling wouldn't help, other than to avoid possible future problems.
What you'd need to do is *Undo* what it has already done. There should be an
option for that.
