Windows XP Problems

Sick Sick Puppies

Published on February 15, 2004 By Phantom of the Night In Windows XP

Well I haven't been on in a while because of 2 reasons. 1. I've been going outside. Thursday night I went out with Shane, and Friday and Saturday night, I spent with Tink. 2. My computer is being a total asshole. I went on a downloading spree on wednesday, trying to get every shockwave game i could get my hands on. I also decided to download two programs, called Shadow Dancers, and mp3 dancer. mp3 dancer was terrible. Just some girl dancing in a circle, but Shadow Dancers was pretty cool. It was a screen saver right out of the 60's. Truly Psychadelic.

I restarted the computer for some reason, and found that all hell was breaking loose. There were at least 20 different things concerning the computer's normal behaviour. I solved most of them, but was scared shitless, when my screen went blue and a window pops up saying "RPC My Doom Virus Detected." I noticed that the window was from Internet Explorer, not Norton, and after I did some research, found that it was only an ad. That's sick.

My computer has returned to normal with the exception of 4 problems. There are also some weird things that happen. For instance, every time I go onto microsoft.com, a window opens to zestyfind.com. I've never been there and it's never happened before. I don't understand. My four problems are:

It takes a little longer to log in from the welcome page.
Every time i click on one of the items on the taskbar, it takes a second or two, to acknowledge my click. This goes for the Start button, and it's contents. Normally, if the computer's being taxed, the window will highlight instantly, and the window will open shortly.
The biggest pain in the ass, is that I cannot open windows media player because my wmp.dll file has a version number of 9.0.0.2980 when it should be 9.0.0.3075, and that it was not installed properly. Then why have I been able to use it everyday until now?
Also, everytime I try to open windows media player by double clicking a file, i can no longer click on anything on the desktop. This has been most upsetting with my morning Spiderman cartoon, to accompany my cereal. It's a miracle that I installed Realplayer last week for no apparent reason.

If anyone has any advice, please tell me. My cereal has lost it's special ceremonial value and has become nothing more than a simple breakfast food.
