Hey Tunder,
been there done that, I know how aggrivating it can be. My recommendation is to get a copy of windows 98 still the best in my opinion. I tried xp - a virus waiting to happen. If you can back up all your files on disk; do so, then wipe out your hard drive via C:format, reinstall windows 98 and you will never, ever have a problem again. WE do what we can to help our members! Stay away from M1 and his basement. You will understand one day.
I hope this helped.
