hi
great to hear that
now that system restore is available you should immediately create a fresh restore point
i would really try downloading fresh installers for the programs ( msn messenger ans spyware blaster)
and reinstall those
i would reinstall those programs in safe mode.
reboot your computer in SafeMode by doing the following:
- Restart your computer
- After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
- Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
- Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
try that if it helps
also :
Clean out temporary files.
Go to "Start" > "Run" and type cleanmgr
Make sure the following are selected:
* Temporary Internet Files
* Recycle Bin
* Temporary Files
* Recycle Bin
Click "OK'.
Repeat for each user account on the computer.
i would run diskdefrag too, right click your c\drive icon at my computer, select properties> tools > disk defrag
, if you see a lot of red you really should defrag the drive
let me know how it goes
