        I've looked around the FAQs on the scrapbook page and it seems to be devoted to install & uninstall problems.
        I'd email them & if you don't get a satisfactory answer then remove it manually & start again.
        (Take a look at their FAQs areas)

        Hijackthis... your computer is screwed but get your scrapbook problem fixed first.

          Went to the Microsoft site to look into the problem, and apparently there was a install component missing, fixed that and now things seem OK, so thats good....
          You say Hijackthis is showing lots of problems? Looking forward to dealing with those....Thanx for looking at the site, I just didnt think they would be much help....

            I got rid of some programs, and with that new Microsoft thing I added I figured I better put in a updated Hijackthis file for whenever you can take a look at it....

                      Sorry for the delay, working is interferring with my cyberlife
                      and I've only had time for fleeting visits.

                      Update Windows, re-run Hijackthis & mark the following for removal.
