hope this helps....i sent a log to the computer place at my college and they had me delete a bunch of things,....i tried to do system restore a couple times because it's worked in the past (is that a good thing to do) but had no luck in fixing my problems.   whatever you can do would be great....thanks alot

chris

Chris,

That's perfectly ok. Now, I need just a little help; bring me upto speed again on what problems your experiencing with the computer this log is from? Specifically? For example, any errors that are popping up, wheter it's only Internet Explorer, etc .,.

When those things were removed from that system was it because of viruses and malware, or were they trying to optimize the system? If optimize, we're there other system changes - like to settings and the registry?

It may take a few post to get the information we need before we can begin trying to fix this; just stick with it!

Mike.

well where to begin,....basically the computer just doesn't run.  when i start the computer regularly,....it's like it freezes,....nothing responds, the mouse still works but can't click on any programs.  when windows loads,....error messages saying bad image,....check against installation diskette.  as for the programs that my college had me delete,...i think that it was mostly spyware...and if it helps at all,...when i run adaware it freezes at the same point every time.   it will stop at CLSID: {then a bunch of numbers}.   as for when i boot in safe mode,....i can't connect to the internet.  if i click internet explorer the web page will just say cannot find server.  hope this answered any questions.
