    Hello ,could someone tell me where is a safe place to pick up freeware utilities.
    I'm looking for XP reg cleaning utils and the likes ,I use to use zdnet all the time but the last time I got a couple of utils ,I ended up getting a couple of nasty spams and trojans.

    My laptop is running slow and I can't reinstall windows XP ,because my harddrive is a SATA ,won't install.

    Sourceforge.net or Majorgeeks.com normally. Grab a copy of CCleaner Lite (without Yahoo Toolbar) to tidy up your registry.

    I take it you can't find SATA drivers to put on a floppy and load during the install? If you could, it's probably a better route to take.

    Thanks Ruu ,will check out them sites.
    Ethernet ,I've only got a cd drive and need SATA drivers to install windows .There is a way of binding the drivers onto a custom installation disk ,but I couldn't be bothered going to all that trouble.

    I wreckon Vista would have all that anyways ,so until I get vista I will have to make do with CCleaner.
    As always ,thanks for the help lads.

    Brian.
