Here you can get the runtime libraries: http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/vbrun6.html

You do not need Visual Basics 6, just some dll files from it pretty much. If the required DLL is not in the SP6 package, which is the one mentioned in the link above, google for the rest of them.


in MSconfig, if you expand the directory path, you can see where the file is located. If its not something you installed or you use, just delete it. Disable anything that you are not using...such as the scheduling agent, loadpowerprofile, loadqm, media mixer....just get rid of all the **** you dont need. You don't need a program you've installed to search for updates every single day.
