ATTENTION MR LAMBERT

Hey there..........the computer I got from you keeps getting scrambled and losing programs etc. there is no virus. I have to turn my firewall off to run the computer, otherwise it just freezes. I can however run to check for viruses and I can do updates to make sure I'm up on the latest ones. I have sent several messages asking you to give me the link and the instructions to wipe out the hard drive and reprogram the system but I have not heard from you. It is not being overdriven at 600 mhz for a pentium 3 and I have taken windows off and put it back on several times. I run scan disk in thorough mode and it finds nothing. Once I download the operating system.......again, it runs good for a while and then starts to sputter with all kinds of error messages and lost files.................please advise.
Now this computer was taded with Windows ME installed and it was a Celeron Pentium 366 i think.. Either way he has overclocked it to 600.. his choice.. when i traded the computer everything was at stock settings!

He is now getting these errors.. witch could show a Hard drive Failure.. but he is able to reinstall .. and run scandisk with no errors.. he says once he reinstalls windows it runs great for a while..

I have no idea.. Expect to think that he must be installing somthing or running somthing that is causing the conflict.. I can not think that there is anythihg wrong hardware wize.

Thanks for all your input!

Michael.
