tech help please, (computer )

post the exact error message, or a screenshot of it.

Is this only when you try to save? or also when reading some files?

you tryed running scandisc/chkdisc should kill or cure it Lol

it doesnt always do it when i save (i just saved pyros sherlock picture for example!)
but appears mostly when i try and open a file (ie the pics of a mk1 that im thinking of getting )

whats a scandisk (get the impression i should know, but i dont!)

done the above ,but,it is still the same !!
i cant remove some of the temp files "because they are being used" (how do i get rid of these ones ?)
and i cant download any new anti virus / spyware because i cant download!
will hitting it help ?

judging from past experience i have had can i ask how your computer is plugged in, e.g. Does it go straight into the wall or is it one of those long white things with lots of slots for plugs. If it is one of those white things is it an anti surge because looking at some past experience if it isnt an anti surge one your hard disk drive may have becomeslightly faulty. Your quitelucky its still working becauselighting really does screw your computerup if its turned on.

No amount of anti virus or scanner will help you fix this problem i'm afraid. Best get it to yourlocal computer shop and explain it to them. Or try anotherharddisk driveif you haveone lying around.

did you do a complete scan with scandisk including disc detecting bad sectors? you'll know if you did cos it'll take ages

IT guru here....

Hard Drive sounds spanked to me if the system restore didn't do anything...
