hiya ed,

Rpc and security accounts manager don,t show any probs on event viewer,but it appears that,that friend of mine who looked at my desktop a while back has stopped a lot of the microsoft services from running,so i,m beginning to think that,s been the cause of most of my problems,i,ll let you know when i,m done how things are running.

Hi ed,

just letting you know someone already suggested to download and run malwarebytes a few weeks ago and when i did it only ran for a few seconds before i got a bluescreen error.So he suggested super antispyware and that did the same thing.

ok will do,i,ll do them in the order you recommended and let u know later it might take a while.

when i do the msconfig, on the general tab which startup should be checked normal,diagnostic or selective.
