Hey guys.

I'm running ME at home and have had tons of problems recently. It may be since I deleted some files using Ad-Aware, it may be coincidental.

One minor problem is that my IE has given up on any sites using javascript. I can browse most sites though and have just installed Opera to access Hotmail etc. Annoying. I've tried installing a new version, re-insalling the OS etc.

The more annoying problem is Media Player crashing every time I try to run it. I've downloaded new versions but can't remove the problem. Ive got a couple of other media players (e.g. Ultra Player) which is OK but won't let me fast forward so I have to watch the whole file in one go or nothing.

The real problem is that because I reinstalled, every time my PC reboots it tries to run that crappy Welcome To Windows video, using Media Player, and crashes Media Player. So I can never check the box to tell it to never show me the video again.

It's very annoying. Any ideas?
