Examples are
Has your computer slowed down compared to before this happened?
not really, it was working fine until i downloaded yahoo messenger. I uninstalled messenger to see if that would help, but it hasnt
When did you install messenger?
last night
I think what we should try is rolling back your system to a date and time which is BEFORE the problem started
Please dont fear all your setting will remain in tact and it will only change back the system settings
I will give you instructions
Before you start System Restore, save any open files and close all programs. System Restore will restart your PC.
Follow the steps in the wizard to choose a restore point and restore your computer.
