I use an ancient copy of Norton Diagnostics to do burnins because it exercises all subsystems. Things like Prime 95, Seti@home, and distributed.net clients only really work the CPU hard.

Werewolfdaddy, I have used regcleaner and the only side effects that I have had are similar to those found with sugar pills.

Werewolfdaddy: Yep, I've been using RegCleaner since early beta and havn't had any problems. I use it all the time after an uninstall to get rid of any "leftovers". In fact, I made the guys first web site for the program back when it was just a small app.

I downloaded it and will try it on my girlfriends computer. She is real big on installing something and then taking it off.

Sugar pills, huh? That is funny.
