Yep i did format and belive me Snaggs i have never seen any thing like it and i still got loads of work to do
BTW the car
yep i did write it off
I bought Fraps off their web site over 18 months ago, they updated last week.
Even the Format could not be done with the xp cd, i had to resort to using an old tried and tested method I have done many times, i formatted using a Millenium start up disk and FDISCK commands.
Because the virus or hack i got even stopped the CMOS working, so from my past experience i guessed the fault lay in a corrupt ROM so i cleared CMOS with the Jumpers, before starting with the new install.
