I had posted something here a while ago concerning windows getting hung up on my system. It all really started when I started to learn to burn vcds and after downloading and installing the recommended software.
I uninstalled the programs( tmpegnc, virtualdub, divx codecs...) and its still happening. I cant even burn with nero anymore. It used to burn fine but I can only use it for audio cd's now.
A lot of my windows things freeze up too like virus scan, defrag, disk clean, and some games i have. cut down the backround running programs to 2, just zone alarm and mcafee. I also tried to do it without those and it still was happening.

Is there anyone that can help me out?! Id really appreciate it!

Also my screen looks like this )( now. I dont know whats going on!!!!
