Well...it wasn't spyware/viruses/malware that is the problem. not sure what is. :/ but i did uninstall new software. hmmm. i can't figure it out. :( i'm guessing that it has something to do with programs/etc on automatic start up that might be causing it. either way, i don't think i could fix it :(

so i'm stuck with this. i made a new winxp account. and made the main account with the problem a limited account.

and now i'm backing up my files. just in case. no one knows what could happen with this computer. *sigh*

you know what i hate most? that i have to reset settings and stuff. cuz when you're in a different account, it starts everything fresh. so when i start paint shop pro, i have to load my stuff again. :/ but it's fine. i don't mind.

i have 2 Being Erica episodes to watch. so after that i'll see how my darling PhotoShop works out. :)
