You can format from a bootable USB flash drive, provided the BIOS is set to boot from USB drives, the USB drive is bootable, and it's boot order in the BIOS is before the hard drive.

Yes, I booted with Flash drive and I got the DOS prompt. DOS prompt is c:> So, what should I do from there to ...

If you cannot boot from a CD..it's not corruption of the original hard drive C partition, as you're booting from the CD(optical drive).
If you boot from USB to install an OS, you can format from there in advanced options. delete exiting partitons, format 'em.

YOS, Would you explain further? Can't ...

YoS,

It doesn't say how to fix it. They are talking in the programming level reasoning.

If uninstall and reinstall a program, it should work for the end user.

When we visit a site that uses Java, it should run.

YOS,

The OS is Vista 32 SP2. I never use the auto updates for any program at all.

What I see in the Task Manager is that under the Memory column, the memory accumulates against one of the Flashplayer entries to high level and then freezes the FF. Then the Flash player crashes and start over. It ...

My ISP has a limit of 150GB per month and they charge $10 for the next 50GB. The problem is that even if we go few Kilo bytes above the 150GB limit, they charge $10.

Thanks Tony. I will go that route then,.

I found it. It is the file sessionstore.js in the profile. Save it and replace it whenever needed. There is a backup file too if needed.
