Back up all your files, and do a clean install of XP. Add a second hard drive for backup.

You will save time in the long run, and your computer will run faster.

No sense using a grenade when a nuke will do.

That won't get rid of spyware nasties like a BHO for IE.

Don't do that .... Never do a clean install if utilities and a little elbow grease can fix the problem...

Since we're on computer malfunctions - my HP computer monitor screen (Windows ME) somehow started being partially "transparent" - with shadows running horizontallly across the monitor - from dark areas into lighter areas.

This is true both with IE and Firefox and is even slightly evident on the Windows ME screen itself - so it's a computer problem not a monitor problem - I had the same problem when I tried using an alternate monitor.

I've searched the HP website, Microsoft and Google for causes and solutions but can't seem to isolate the problem. I restored the computer back as far as possible (before the problem) but that didn't help. Any ideas?
