Open HJT, and checkmark following line:
- O2 - BHO: PeoplePC ScamGuard - {7E3659A6-4BC5-4d93-B3FD-8B5ACC2FEDED} - C:\Program Files\PeoplePC\Toolbar\ScamGrd.dll (file missing)
Click "Fix checked".

Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html, and run CCleaner

When you're done, install extra RAM, and let me know, how your machine is doing.

Ok.. did as you said and is running like a champ now! extra ram helped alot! Still don't have the full 512mb but have 480mb and is alot better than the 223mb it had before. Thank you so much?
Now that all being said. I still cannot change the background?  When I go to> display properties > desktop,  I can change the color and that is all,  the wallpaper in the window is all grayed out and won't let me change anything?
So I was thinking it was due to a virus, but hasn't been fixed? So do you think I need to start a new topic on this problem?
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!
Again thanks so much for the help!

I'm glad, computer is running fine

Still don't have the full 512mb but have 480mb

Cheap, but real video card would help.

As for wallpaper, try  Allow Wallpaper/Background Changes - Disable (fix #142, right pane) at: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/wallpaperenable.reg

I'm glad to hear it
Did that fix solve wallpaper problem?

[az_shyguy]

sorry haven't responded back in a timely fashion.. the first link you sent didn't fix it... so I looked around in kelly's corner and found one that did work. I can't remember the link it was right now... but you headed me in right direction.. I am not that litterate in scripts or registry and get nervous trying anything unless its on a comp I just mess around with..lol..  I am learning though and this forum has seemed to be the best I have found for helping me! will probably be back soon as mom is having trouble with her comp now and am gonna visit her.. told her sounds like malware to me! haven't gone wrong yet with you or evil fantasy.
really appreciate the time you guy's so graciously give!!
Thanks!
