I am officially afraid to touch my computer. The story of woe starts like this:
-Windows media player nine was playing a radio station. I clicked it off, but the music kept playing. I rebooted the computer, and it seemed to work fine.
-The next time I tried to scandisk the computer, it said a program was writing in the background so it kept restarting.
-I went control-alt-delete to see what was running, and the computer shut itself down.
-when I turned the computer on, the screen only had 16 colors.
-I went into the active desktop, customize and re-set the colors to 256, got the message to re-start my computer.
-every time I re-start my computer, its back to 16 colors.
-I got a message about QuickTime running, so I went to uninstall it, in add/remove programs. I got the message do you want to uninstall QuickTime or completely remove everything in QuickTime (not recommended)
-so I uninstalled it, and got the message successful un-installment. But when I scrolled down the list, QuickTime was still there.
Please, please help. Since I can’t scandisk, the computer is REALLY slowing down, and I’m afraid it will permanently crash. (I’ve had to delete the hard-drive before)
Sorry about the length, I wanted all the details in)
