OK I am BEGGING for help

1.) If you upgraded from Windows XP, you may be able to log into the 'hidden' administrative account named administrator, with the default password being blank.

2.) Try booting into Safe Mode (press F8 during boot) and see if performance is restored to normal levels. If so, it is an issue with startup items (applications that load automatically when Windows starts) slowing your system down. You can disable these by opening msconfig (press Windows + R and enter msconfig into the Run box), selecting the Startup tab, and unchecking everything that isn't necessary.

3.) You didn't mention which security scanners you used, but just to be on the safe side I would run a single pass with the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

4.) Registry cleaners will not help with such issues and frequently only make matters worse. Thus, I would strongly advise against buying one, especially at this point.

5.) Just to clarify, is that Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit? (There was a typo in "34-bit.")

Let us know.

1. Take Grif's advice at http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6122_102-0.html?threadID=328220#2968150
2. Take my advice and disable the Vista Broadcast Flag (see google.)

Both are free and clear up many nagging issue and all the 2 thoughts above are free.

You have corrupted op system files.I would reinstall the operating system Vista 32bit ,but before you do find the pompt C:\ c being the hard drive and format the disk C:\format c: after a fresh copy is reinstalled this will restore your computer to a new condition,install all updates before you install security software.If you do not want to lose data you can do a back up,however any problems in your computer will be copied and reinstalled from the backup.You could tranfer e-mails to another computer,pictures too.I hope this helps,Good luck.
