Ok. Today I logged onto my computer, it had been working fine earlier, but then I logg on and my mouse wasn't working and my display settings were wrong (the colour's in 16bit and the screen area is 640x480). So.. I went into hardware settings and found a way to get my mouse back my re-installing the hardware (which I had not unnistalled in the first place) Then I set my intentions on changing my display properties back to normal. But no.. the computer let me select the display properties.. got me to the point where I confirmed I wanted to restart to allow the selection to carry through.. but no matter how many times I try to change the properties and restart it , it won't change.. and it often takes a while to restart. I get this message when I try to change something using 'Advanced' settings saying: there isn't enough memory to run deskcp16.dll

There was previously a virus *kernels32.exe* I think I have got rid of it now.

Also, when I restart there is a message reading:

'rundll has performed an illegal operation..' I clicked onto details and I got this:

RUNDLL caused a general protection fault

How do I get things back to normal. Any suggestions please?

Thanks.
