The date modified is acting as it's supposed to (You did modify it, after all).
The date created remains the same on my system. Are you saving under the same name in the same folder?

"Bill" is not an idiot, and he knows you want to preserve the dates on your files. You're looking at the "Date Modified", and Bill has accurately recorded your key strokes. Rt-click the column...

Rt-click the file/Properties

Please don't use any registry cleaners.

These files are not destructive, just unnecessary.
Use CCleaner to remove temp files, avoid any and all registry cleaners as they are often wrong, and may damage your system....

Yes, but if you tell us what the problem is, there may be an easier way.

You can't. Use Start/Run/cmd
At the prompt "chkdsk /r"
You'll have to reboot.

Maybe not so fine. In theory, a 3 user license won't allow installing on a fourth computer, if that's what the OP is stating.

Yes.
In folder one, select all/rt-click/rename
Enter an appropriate name (i.e. my vacation)
All will be renamed "My vacation001, etc.
Irfanview also has a batch rename utility.

Just right-click these entries and select "Uninstall".
They should be reinstalled when you reboot. If not, the drivers are available at the manufacturer's site.

AVG is a fine AV, so I would uninstall Norton ,and reinstall AVG (The newest version)
I'd also get some new friends-creators of these programs don't include warning like that for laughs.

It's a bad idea to have two AVs installed. I'm surprised you were even able to do so, as most will warn you against it.
Uninstall the Audio device in Device manager and reboot to reinstall.

Well, your AV has probably failed you. Lime wire is a known source if all the nasties on the internet.
Look in device manager and see if the drivers for your audio device are installed.
What AV are...

Look in Device manager and see if a network adapter is installed.
Look for yellow marks as well.

Try System Restore.
Enter the site's URL manually.

I've seen this with wireless keyboards and some USB keyboards.
Try a PS2 keyboard or a different keyboard.

What is the OS?

That's very strange.
Do you get the "Press any key to boot from CD" dialog?
Will it boot from a CD as opposed to a DVD?
Does the DVD drive work? Do you know for sure the DVD is bootable?

I use Windows Defender and have never had a problem.
Your surfing habits determine your need for this kind of protection.
Porn, gaming, P2P and Torrents seem to generate the most Spyware.

Give us a link.

I was referring to the maker of the software.
"Fool" and "Stupidly" are your words.

At this point, I would just remove it manually.
A good lesson about poorly managed software.
After you remove the folders, you may have to edit the registry, but let's wait and see for that.

It sounds as though these two share some files.
Reinstall the first version, then remove the second.

I'm an ex-army officer, and leery of getting in between two senior NCOs.

I'd start by looking for an updated video driver or reinstalling the current one.

I don't get this delay, and I'm using 1680 X 1050.
I have 2GB RAM and a 512 MB video card.
Compare the specs on this machine to your machine at work. RAM is cheap. Try adding some and see if it...
