Alright, after speed-reading it looks like your computer is pretty messed up. So, you may want to do a clean install. You may want to get a computer guy (a real one) to do this for you, or read the user manual to find out how to change the boot priority to an optical drive, the rest of the installation procedure is pretty self explanitory. Ater you have reinstalled you need an anti-virus program, and I highly reccomend a firewall (other than the "firewall" our buddy Bill has given us in XP). For the AV (Anti-Virus) I reccomend Norton's products, I use System Works. And for the firewall I reccomend ZoneAlarm Pro, although I have heard that its TCP filter cause people headaches, so you may want to do some reasearch. That's about it. Good luck.
