Today, I just bought the Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade With Service Pack 2, and I just got done setting everything up and I just defragged my (C
drive.
Either at the "welcome" screen or after choosing a profile, it says: "Loading your personalized settings" and this takes about a minute or two, which isn't that bad, but right after it loads that up, my desktop appears, and my icons don't show up until about 5-10 mins, which is very unusual. If I click Start, it hangs up. (It doesn't freeze, 'cause I can still move the mouse)
Anyway, after that 5-10 min load, everythings fine.
Okay...
I am up to date on Windows Updates,
EDIT: Just ran Spybot, CWShredder, A2 (A-Squared), and Bazooka Spyware Scanner...
Didn't find anything except for one spyware found by Bazooka Spyware Scanner..
NEW PROBLEM #1:It's apparently called: Media-Motor, and I followed the instructions on how to delete it, but I couldn't find it. (I did this in Safe Mode, and I had "show all hidden files" on, too) It just bothers me that I have this on my computer.
NEW PROBLEM #2: This item keeps appearing in my Start Menu: It's called "Software 2000 Homepage"
If I "Remove from List", it eventually comes back! What the heck? The site directs me to: http://www.software2000.de/engl/
I don't know what to do.
Help ME, Please!
