Hartwichr,

NTFS is not a journaling filesystem. NTFS does not have a built in recovery system, but does use the restore point and recovery manager systems to manage any errors that happen. What you described is more inlined with the new WinFS filesystem.

WinFS is a journaling filesystem using SQL Server 2005 database that implements UNIX-based security measures for improved security accross the computer.

CD,
There should not be any difference, between FAT32 and NTFS, in the way programs are executed on Windows. The difference is that NTFS allows for a better security protocols/permissions to be added to the file system (very important if a trojan virus is installed on your computer). There is no security in the FAT/FAT32 file systems. Also, Win2000/WinXP/2003/Vista are the only operating systems that can read/write to an NTFS file system.

@Flak
You are correct on the file allocation size on NTFS up to 4GB partitions. NTFS has a 4KB allocation size up to 4GB, but is the same as FAT32 after that.* The reason why some games don't work in WinXP is because WinXP changed how some of the internal libraries are loaded. Which causes a problem sometimes with games written for DOS/Win95/Win98. Changing the compatibility mode of the games .exe file to Win98 mode should fix this problem. * This information will change when the new file system (WinFS) is released sometime in 2007. The allocation size will be 4KB no matter how large the partition is.

To add to MarkHirst's post:

Visual C++ 2005 Express only comes with the .NET 2.0 framework. The MFC libraries* are not available. To build native 32-bit Win32 programs you also need to download the Win32 Platform SDK.

• • The MFC libraries are only available in the professional version and above.

Rayraz,

To remove the old restore points from your computer

1. double-click the "My Computer" button
2. right-click your c: drive icon and click the Properties menu-item
3. click the "Disk Cleanup" button
4. click the "More Options" tab and the "Clean Up..." button under System Restore

This should remove all your old restore points from your computer.

FYI: Restore points are files on you hard drive but are hidden from view so the user does not accidently remove them.

No, actually he used the nickname 'DarthVader' when playing games online/lan, but that was a long time ago.

He still answers when people refer to him by that nickname.

Bandolin,

The first thing you need to do is make sure that your spyware/adware removal programs are up to date.

Now reboot your machine, and as the Windows logo is displayed press F8 on the keyboard. This will bring up an advanced boot memu.

Choose 'Safe Mode' and this will open Windows in Safe Mode. This mode is designed to boot Windows into the minimum configuration and keep any user-installed software from running at startup.

Open the Internet Explorer and remove all the temporary internet files under Tools->Internet Options...

Run your spyware/adware removal programs and this should remove the problem files/programs.

Reboot your machine.

This should remove all the problems.
