The pc is soooo close to being through out of the proverbial pram 
.....I really don't have a clue as to what to do now! A while ago my pc had a virus which it quarantined. However, I'm trying to uninstall various programmes on my pc such as printer drivers so i can install a new printer, and also take off incredemail....the programme remove/install option just freezes, or if I do manage to take any programme off it hasn't actually done anything 
When I next turn my pc on so I can install the drivers for my printer it is still bringing the old printer drivers up in the add/remove area. I'm seriously debating getting a new base machine but really don't want to go there yet, as I wouldn't know where to start, so if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers.

Might be easier and quicker to find your os disk, format the hdd and re-install?click here to achieve nothing!0

Yep, I'd agree with mdbarber, judging by what your PC is doing it sounds like it needs a good clear out.0

Ack!! Thank you both for your help, will dig out the discs and get started soon, just running one of the virus checkers that is linked in another thread and it's found spyware on my pc which my regular virus checker missed :eek: so will be glad to start fresh!0
