Thanks for the help ya'll.

I have not installed anything new. The link ShagDevil gave has been of help. I am deleting a lot of programs that I forgot were there on my hard drive. I was thinking that the problem might be a popup killer that I installed a few months ago and am having trouble trying to uninstall it. The problem is that windows isnt abled to open the uninstall.ini file.

I have no problem accessing my files in dos and safe mode so I think I'll just back up all data and reinstall my OS. Friends have been bugging me to switch to Linux But I have no experience with that OS at all, plus I wouldnt know how well it would go with the computer technician here who seems to be a little slow.
