down load microsoft clean up utility program it will force a program to un install even if the program does not have an uninstaller. good luck

the reason for it is that u need to clean up your hard drive every thing u look up or view on the net is stored for faster viewing u need to clean it up. use c-cleaner or window washer to do this easy. if u do not wnt to do it this way u can go to accessory go to system tools go to disk clean up run it but make sure hybernate does not have a check mark beside it or u will defeat it then go under advanced and run it to get rid of shadow copys and and all but recent restore point. t

u can use it on more than one comp but only let it update once or twice any more than that and u risk them deleating your regestry # and it will say u have a pirated copy. legal is the best way to do it. but now a days income is tight u do what u think is best. u can go to pcworld.com and go to down loads and type in converter they will list free and pay for services for converters. there are many out there i have the vlc player and converter the player and converter has hd conversion to impr

one more thing defrag your comp also the reg my need to be cleaned up and defraged u can us this it is free for 15 days but u only need to use it one time every 3 to 4 months it is auslogicts boostspeed it is very good program and offers a lot of tweeks and speed up opions well later time to see what else i can find on the net

one of your problems is u have too many programs running in the back ground turn off what u do not use or need it will free up a lot of ram and cpu if u have vista and do not want to take a chance u will mess something up go to pcworld.com down load vista service optimizer it is very easy to use. it will do every thing for u if u have xp get xp tweeker from the site as well u will notice after running program that your comp is a lot faster uses a lot less ram and cpu. one more thing i do not

it sounds like the sp2 up date was bad uninstall it see if that takes care of your problem if not u may have a denial of service bug if your antivirus program does not find any thing u may have to use system restore to restore your comp to an earler time before u started having problems. if u do not want to do that can down load microsofts malicious software removal utility u can get it from pcworld.com. also if u do have a bug and find it u may have programs that are not up to date on

you do not need it. go to your run menu type in service go down to windows defender and turn it off so it does not load at start up if u have your own fire wall turn windows firewall off as well it will speed up start up time and free up cpu and ram one other thing running more than one antivirus and spyware utilitys on a comp will cause conflict and can cause program problems for u . need one of each i use norton antivirous and orbit 360. i use spyware blaster for blocking tracking coo

it could be a number of things. how much ram do u have i have 4 gig and do not have any problems running any program or game it is better to have more than needed than not enough. 2nd what kind of graffix card do u have i have a ati radion hd2600 pro i can play almost any game i have over clocked it by 10% it does very good i also run dual screens . so if it is not your ram and is not your grafix card it is prb. your processor. is to low to run the game well i have a dual core e2140 pro

32 bit is best for playing older games but has less ram need to up grade. and turn off the useless back ground junk that vista runs that eat up cpu and ram. to tweek vista in start menu type service click on service in program box . note only turn off what you do not use double click selectd items you want to change and disable or pick another action i use 32bit system dualcore 2 gig of ram ati radion 4800 graf card can play just about any thing out there and also when tweeked vista loades20%
