I torrented Norton Anti-Virus but I think that prob was the problem. But Not sure. I jus need as many tips as possible. I came to the best place in the world to get this help.

remove all existing spyware anti blocker anti virus software that you have installed
go download AVG and adaware
then download spybot search and destroy.
Run these in safe mode on your pc and see what happens.

FYI: Downloading warez is your choice, but take my advice please...
DO NOT trust you anti virus to warez. BUY YOUR AV...not too expensive.

Maybe you can get one from Dell. :P
-
I tried but they said I would have to find one another way since they only ship with new comps. The lady said that I can get one from someone with a Dell.
And KNACK is it ad-aware

I think by tag you mean / XP home edition ,,, correct
-
If I could I would copy my reinstallation CD that I got from Dell and send it to you.
-
Dell pcs have a "system tag" used as a reference to uniquely identify the pc to Dell.
For example, an old server here is 77HHV11.
THese are usually located on a sticker on teh back panel of pc's.
-
anti-virus program - kaspersky and you can try the free online scanners... McAfee has one
free anti-virus program - AVG or advast
anti-spyware - spybot and adaware. both are free, however, adaware has pay person... the free version is fine.
you should have a recovery disc that came with the computer... if not, call dell up...

Well unfortunately I dont have a disc for that. All i have are for Latitudes and Optiplex's.

Anti-virus software usually just slows your computer down (unless you're prone to actually getting viruses). As long as you don't open executables from questionable sources, set windows explorer to show file extensions (whoever thought of hiding file extensions needs to be shot in the face), don't use outlook, and don't use internet explorer, you should be good to go.

Haha! That made me laugh. But I couldn't agree more.

My experiences haven't been great.
1: QWERTY keyboard makes my hands weep. I can't find anywhere to change this.
"Hey, do you know where I can change my keyboard layout?"
"Uhhh... no."
Mac tech support guys apparently only know how to tell you to use photoshop and make new files. UP A LEVEL, to the actual tech support guy
"How can I change keyboard layout?!?"
"Oh, we don't have the permissions set for that. You can't, right now."
"Will you be able to change the permissions?"
"Well, we can't give you access to only part of the control panel..."
Awesome! Now I can't type.
Dubmest permissions ever.
2: The 'Mighty Mouse' or whatever the hell it's called. It doesn't work. I can't click unless I really try to click entirely on the left side of the mouse. HINT: To make a two-button mouse, you need to actually include TWO SEPARATE BUTTONS. The omni-directional scroll ball in the middle is a good idea, but it's so insensitive that I felt like I was about to get carpal tunnel after about two minutes of working on something I had to scroll to the left and/or right with. Maybe you can change the sensitivity in the prefs panel, but I CAN'T GET TO ANY OF THAT.
Also, the thumb buttons trigger at the lightest touch. That gets really annoying while trying to do some precision photoshop work. I actually brought my own mouse, discovered you could daisy-chain the keyboards, and set up my mouse connected about ten keyboards down, just for fun. Mac tech guy wasn't very happy, but I put everything back and not many other people were there.

I wouldn't know. I don't use Mac. I use XP and Ubuntu (Xubuntu actually).

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Moving this thread to other stuff since it's not paintball2 related.
I tried that mighty mouse once - Best buy had some mac crap on display. Worst. Mouse. Ever. (excluding previous mac mice). Apple tried to reinvent the wheel and it still isn't round. I do like some of their keyboard designs, though. I hate how so many keyboards have 2 square feet of extra crap that I never use.

Dell is starting to "clean up" their keyboards. Reminds me of the old mac I had many years ago.

Not bad, but I love the laptop style keys of my Logitech UltraX.
