well guys i just ran COMBO FIX, and it took away some of the popups now i can open my task manager. I think i should just reinstall XP but i got an illegal download one and i had to hack it to make it guinie, prolly spelt wrong lol. But i know thats not the problem from my popups. Cuz i had this xp for about 2 years. And now this crap is happening, So i got to options here, format and reinstall or what? Im not taking my PC to a tech shop they charge a **** load. and i know alot about computers. I built this one and repaired it many times but this problem i cant seem to fix.
