Run them again just to be sure. I'd contact MS and see what's up. lol. At any rate, try to use WMP 9.

What kind of Internet access do you have? Have you checked to see if it's on thier side?

I did a temp job doing tech support for a PC maker. 1) A lady called in and was angry like a half-starved wolverine in heat. She said that her motherboard, RAM, CPU, and CD-RW drive was replaced to solve a problem and she wanted to speak to a manager. I asked for the error and Windows wouldn't...

Also try a different browser like Firefox or Opera. Those don't use ActiveX and spyware won't get onto your PC as much.

My bad.

iexplorer is essential part of Windows. Basicly, it dictates how windows will look and act when used in the GUI. Uninstall or disable it and you have one powerful version of DOS.

The rundll stuff should go since it may be spyware.

Check with ZoneLabs to allow MSN to access the Net. It's being blocked but you can allow it to access the Internet. Also, check Add/Remove Programs and uninstall anything you know you didn't install. That stuff is spyware.

RalliSport Challenge is great and Street Racing Syndicate is cool but the gf "feature" is a lame excuse to get teens to play it. Could use more variety of cars but it is really good game.

I started video games with the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System for those too young to remember it). Graphics are part of a good game. However, most of my favorites games that I always liked didn't have great graphics. Graphics do help a game but gameplay (is it fun? controls work right?)...

Xbox has special code that it has to process and compare to code Xbox has stored. All consoles do this since NES. IF they don't match, it won't play. Plus, Xbox uses a special version of Windows that isn't compatible with WinXP. It's for Xbox hardware and software only and WinXP can't use it.
