Hi Susie, I am getting this feeling that your registry file is not doing to good. My suggestion is to save all your data to some type of a backup. Then make sure your emergency startup disk is working, and you have all your OS/software disks or know where to download them. I have never done a backup myself so I can't tell you what to backup or how to do it, or what is the best way. Now on my machine, as I built it, I boot off of the emergency disk and Format the disk, if I think there may have been a virus at work I will go ahead and do the fdisk/mbr command. What that does is rewrites the master boot record on the hard drive. I then go ahead and put my windows system back on, and then all my other software. Sure is a pain in the butt.
