You have a bunch of nasties...try Hi-Jack This analyzer I pasted your log into it and there was lots of bad stuff. If you don't know what an item is, don't delete it. Make sure you make up a folder on C drive before you run it, that way it will keep the back-ups for you and you can always undo what you've done. Also, here's the latest Hi-Jack This If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Glad to have a chance to help you.

Yeah, thank goodness for that now, the analyzer. Techs

It is a pleasure to use, yes fordman If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Glad to have a chance to help you.
