    Just to throw something else in the mix... have you set Windows to clear the pagefile when you shut down?

    Yeah, that&#39;ll make it take longer, but it&#39;s great for getting rid of tracks an fragmentation (Since on NT based machines you cannot defrag system files that are in use). If you set your system like that, you can configure the mimimum size of the page file to be smaller and not take so long to clear.

    Right-click on My Computer > Click properties > Click Advances >Click Performance Settings.

    Uncheck anything you don&#39;t want for better system performance. Go to advanced and at the bottom, you can configure virtual memory. I like setting the minimum almost as low as the system recommends and making the max about a gig.

    i just got the nod32 ondemand scanner. do u have to install it every time u use it cause i closed it and clicked on the exe and the installer came up again. also does it update? if it dosent i have nod32 full but i cant update it anymore cause the crack doesnt work anymore. if it doesnt update i will delete and use the nod32 i have

    The on-demand scanner doesn&#39;t have the updating component. Theoretically you can update which would be much more trouble than it&#39;s worth. The on-demand scanner uses a non-uninstallable setup created by Inno setup because it extracts to a temporary directory and works from there.

    Just use the setup each time you use it. If you can get the Full NOD32 to work, then you don&#39;t need the on-demand scanner.

    BTW, for the trial code, go to the page I gave you and use the code on the bottom of the last page of that forum post. It&#39;ll work.
