hello,

well, I'll try these things and get back to you. can I install these while in safe mode (I have them saved on a jump drive)....would this be the best?

and in my own defense! I had tried to update with sp2 twice when it first came out, but my computer never worked properly when I did. perhpas I already had spyware on it. it was a couple of years ago now and i was fairly ignorant of such things then. there was a lot of talk about virus' then, but not much on spyware. plus sp2 comes loaded with it's own spyware (hotbar) and this lead me to mistrust microsoft. I did update regularly with critical updates though and was in fairly good shape until I reinstalled.

I am a good citizen! just new and slightly uninformed.

it wasn't until I joined this sight that I regained some trust for sp2. so we'll see. i'll have to wait until I have my system cleared anyway.
