Hi .... thanks for the latest advice.... SFC has copied the dll files back to the dll cache .... however after restarting the problems still remain..... no options in the folder view settings area ...... half of my quickstart icons when clicked on will not open programs they just do nothing ...... my network is working intermittently ..... this afternoon my computer actually downloaded a file from windows update site for me to install, however when I install it it tells m e that it has been successfully installed and 2 mins later the icon is in the clock area telling me that I have an update file that needs to be installed and it is the exact same file that I had just installed ...... also when I try to turn my screensaver off, I click apply and okay and then 10 mins later my screensaver suddenly starts up again no matter how many times I turn it off ..... I have a USB laptop hard drive that I use like a pendrive for portable files n stuff, when I plug that in I get the little window that XP uses to ask you if you want to open the folder or play files in media player etc etc but instead of those options all I hav is a blank space the same as the one in the folder view options area ....... and I still can't access my recycle bin to delete any of those files..... and the my programs link on my start bar still refuses to open unless I right click on it and even then it only shows one folder titled programs and only about 4 things inside that folder....

In regards to the windows media player issue ... is it the following option:
Tools/options/privacy/enhanced content provider services and the checkbox with the words- send unique player ID to content providers ???? cos if so then it has been unchecked and unallowed since installation because I NEVER allow any of my programs to send any kind of statistics to anywhere because I had already been told that some hackers make use of those areas in programs to get access to your system .....

Thanks..
