OK, i have a couple of problems... 1.) "MSTask.exe - Entry Point not Found The procedure entry point ??_U@YAPAXI@Z could not be located in the Dynamic Link Library MSVCRT.DLL" That is the error I get on startup of Windows. I've tried the microsoft site: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q318730 ...but that didnt help... Any suggestions? 2.) I installed some critical updates and security updates from Windows Update recently, and now I'm unable to view any Java Applets! These are the updates I downloaded (I dont know which update caused the applet problem...): - 810649: Critical Update 329170: Security Update Q328310: Security Update 810030: Microsoft VM Security Q329115: Security Update Q322913: Recommended Update I have IE5.50.4807.2300IS (SP2; Q323759; 328389; 324929) Can anyone help??

I'm not sure on the MStask.exe error, you might start a new post for just that and give any error messages being logged in your Event Viewer. On the Java thing, try going to Sun Microsystem's website and downloading their Java. That should fix your applet problem....
