welcome, and let us know how you made out!! Good advice + great people = tek-tips

thanks! Good advice + great people = tek-tips

Sure, you can take it right off, do your oil thing and put it back. Better yet, just put some duct tape in place of the sticker. The only thing, you should keep the sticker if your card is still within warranty, you never know. Or if you think you might sell the card in the near future. In...

Great, i took a chance saying it twice, but it was important you check it out. Glad you got it going and got your data!! Should i point out that you can give someone a star by clicking on the thank so and so for this valuable post? See where the purple star is. Good advice + great people =...

yes, remove the sticker and oil in there. Maybe get some graphite powder during the week to do an even better job, in my opinion.

Well, we need to make sure you arent going to waste $50! So, what is the software you are using? Nero, roxio ? When you uninstalled the software did you do a manual or software program to delete references to this software in your registry? The reason i ask is that i have found, especially with...

katman104, its best you start your own thread. Its much easier for all of us to try and help both you and the other person. Good advice + great people = tek-tips

First off, I am not trying to undermine paparazi's post at all. But,a fan in that condition can be repaired. All you need is some light oil, like sewing machine oil, and some graphite powder. You can get both of these items at either an auto store, hardware store, or walmart type store. Just...

Can you see the drive in disk management? If so you could format it there. Good advice + great people = tek-tips

A lot of time you will find references to certain programs in your msconfig as electronicsfreak has pointed out. These references belong to certain programs that believe they must run every time your pc is started. Not true, of course. qttask.exe is one good example. It belongs to quicktime...
