Yeah, that seems like a pretty messed up install >_<

How long has the install been on?

kappage would you mind shrinking that sig a little bit? It takes half the screen on my 1400X900 laptop, I can just imagine how it looks on the majority of our members that use 1024x768 and lower.

I have a lot of computers come through with similiar issues...

1) Run CCleaner ( http://www.ccleaner.com )
2) Run Dial-A-Fix ( http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix ) - ( ALL options, and click the hammer at the bottom)
3) Check Disk It ( Chkdsk c: /f /r )
4) Defragment It
5) Update It
6) Msconfig & Trendmicro's Hijackthis ( http://www.trendmicro.com )

Pretty much solves 90% of issues
