Well obviously you have had windows installed for a while. I would advise getting yourself a copy of windowsXp Pro, and reformating your hard drive, and installing that.

Otherwise sounds like you need a reformat and instal your current operating system. There are too many errors to fix. Unless you uninstal all the programs you are having probs with and reinstall them

hehehe...done this too many times...and everyone you just pray it's gonna be as long as possible before you need to do another

yeah...& if u're worried about virii...get a scanner ffs! and update it regularly

Find a friend to make you up a bootable anti-virus floppy.
Boot from that floppy and do a scan from A: drive...doesn't sound very good though...

If you are going to reinstall your OS, which i highly recommend for 9.x windows kernels... use a startup disk and fdisk your hd into several partitions

1.OS partition - about 3-5 gigs
2. Apps partition - 5 gigs, so when you reinstall, all your settings are still there
3. everything else partition - rest of your hd. for goodies like your music

Pork!

i would say that windows is screwed and needs a re install, back up all ya data (mp3's and uni/college/school work etc) and re formant and re install windows.

but would do the virus scan from the boot disk just in case, as i cant see why so many things could go wrong at once. you tried downloading any other anti virus software? wot os u using?

heheheh...well that depends on how much hd space u have eh!

but yeah...good to have separate drives for some stuff...i don't bother with apps...seeing most of their settings are stored in registry anyway & will get lost with an erase/reformat

have a separate drive for games, seeing most of their settings are stored in the local folders...also a separate drive for mp3s & mpegs - hehe essential for me ...and another drive for swap file to stop windows stuffing up the windows drive with fragments everywhere...and recently i made a cache drive for internet temp files and other temp files like winzip, acdsee thumbnails, outlook database and other crap like that

so currently...it's something like o/s: 10G, games: 15G, mp3s/mpegs: 74G, personal shit: 33G, swap drive: 1G, temp drive: 4G

Well i have a 4gig just for 0S, then a crive folder on my 60 gig D drive. So when i reformat my small 4 gig i just delete the stuff in c drive coz it will need to be reinstalled. Everything else goes into my mp3 folder, etc

Also a small hd just for OS means it is really quick to format and reinstal. I managed to reformat and reinstal xp pro and have it setup in just under 2 hours on my shitty comp at my dads. So it wont take long
