After reading this it is clear that whenever you open a drive, some executable file is trying to run which is why u get this error message.
There must be a file autorun.inf in all your drives which are giving you such a problem.

My computer seems to be a bot slow and when i go on to a Bingo site i play on it doesnt let me in the chat rooms even though i have a flashplayer installed. It also doesnt call the numbers just shows them. I have tried everything. Plz help.

I have 2 identical laptops and they both started operating slowly and crashing. I reformated one of them. I installed Microsoft Office 2003. Now the mouse often freezes in position and after waiting for a while it can be used again. I reinstalled the driver and that did not help. Also some times when I try to move a page across the scteen it leaves a trail of the page. I thought it might be a heat problem and sprayed Dust Off inside the laptop. That didn’t help. Do you have any ideas?

One of my screens failed and I purchased a new one, installed it and it is working fine.

Thank you for the work you do on this web site.

What kind of start-up tasks are necessary to leave running? Because I’ve disabled all but my virus-scanners because my computer was running so slow.

As yet, no problems and it’s running a lot better.
