I have opened this thread temporarily to make a few comments.

This user had a heavily infected computer, to the degree that our HJT experts were seriously considering advising the user to format the hard disk and start afresh. If you look at this thread you will see that Joe has finally cleaned up the PC but only after some very hard work.

Two lessons to be learnt from this. Before offering advice, use Google to search for the error message and consider what you see. Secondly, make sure you steer clear of some of the stuff that Tarty's son has been looking at!!
