what can i do
Hello,
It sounds like you may have been infected with a virus which has corrupted your registry for your account settings.. I suggest trying the 'windows repair' first to see if this solves the problem and then be sure to complete all available windows updates if it is successful.
To do this windows repair, visit my website at http://tpsconsulting.com and read the TIPS page.. .the tip is labled 'various windows xp tweaks'
Once you have managed to get things working again, go back to the TIPS page and read the OPTIMIZING tip and after that, visit the SOFTWARE/SUPPORT page where I suggest installing all the programs from the PINK section as they will help with the cleaning/removal and ongoing maintenance from the spyware/malware issues that cause so many problems and slowdowns including what problems you are currently having.
Hope this helps,
Sincerely
Mike Dacre

Expertise
I am proficient with all windows platforms. Installation and maintenance of home/business networks and servers. Windows 7, Vista. If you are still using XP then your system is simply too old to be safely surfing the internet and you should upgrade the operating system to Windows 7. If you have windows xp then your question will simply be forwarded to the question pool as I no longer feel it is worthy of my volunteered time, Since Windows 7 can handle systems with as little as 512mb of RAM memory, you have no excuse to not upgrade. If you are having problems and you are using XP there is no point in asking since the problem is with the operating system. Microsoft has stopped supporting this operating system as it is now over 10 years old.. time to upgrade!
