It shouldn't affect the PC, the critical ones are needed for security etc

Click start, all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up then disc defragmenter

Have you ever run Microsoft Update

Have you ever run Microsoft Update

[Caffeine_Powered]

yes an i have done defrag before and i need to shut everything off to do so is there anything left to tell me for now cause idk how longs its going to take

[Retired Tech]

You can run defrag as often as you like, running it every couple of weeks is good

If you cannot find SP2 and update does not offer it, get it on CD and re-install it

[Retired Tech]

You should download that as well

Did you find movie maker

[Caffeine_Powered]

no but tell me where to look

it didn't show up in search when i looked

[Retired Tech]

Use search but click to include hidden and system files, then you want moviemk which looks like a movie reel

[Caffeine_Powered]

ok so i found movie mk in one of the folders but the icon next to it wasnt' a reel it was the box which means that u need to install so i clicked on it and the movie maker 2.0 intaller came up again.... i almost feel as though thats a virus cause it'd just completely taken away any other movie maker

i actually do have malware and am currently working on getting rid of it but thats not where the problem started the problem started because i needed to register the program in order to use it (microsoft movie maker) and i didn't have any upc code cause it came with the comp so i decided to dl the microsoft movie maker 2 and i can't get it past the installer and now i'm looking for the media maker so i don't think malware is the problem though i could be wrong

[Caffeine_Powered]

any suggestions?

[Retired Tech]

It will be better to wait till the malware is gone because it will affect any changes you try now
