Make a backup of all your pictures and videos and everything else manually to an external drive. Export all of your bookmarks and make a note of all of your programs that you use and put all of that on the external as well. Then do a full install on your computer.
This way you can still have everything and not lose anything valuable plus get a faster computer because windows doesn't have anything else to load on the new install except itself. Only down side is that you may have to go driver hunting.

My computer won't load flash, play music, or load programs correctly?
I can't view youtube videos. All that happens is that it will not even load 1 second of the video. Then when I click something it says that it isn't responding.
I can't play any music. Either in iTunes or in Media Player. Once again, it doesn't do anything and this time i can't click the x out of it. I have to bring up the task manager and close the program.
I can't use any type of voice and video chat such as Skype. It will sign me in, sometimes, but won't connect to anything.
I can't download any new microsoft updates. Once again it just won't respond.
I can do basic things. Like look at pictures. Browse the web. Go to facebook, etc. I have tried this on more than one network, so it's not the network. And have tried multiple browsers, so it's not the browser. And i still have plenty of free hard drive space.
Now this all started happening about 4 days ago. So I did a system restore to a point before this was happening. All was well again for about 24 hours. Then, it started happening again today. I tried to do another system restore, but all of my restore points are gone.
I have had multiple anti-virus/spyware programs scanning for viruses and have come up with nothing.
The only changes that have been made when this started happening is that microsoft updates have been installed. So, I don't know if Microsoft had a bug in an update, or which one so i could uninstall it...
Since I can't do another system restore (for the reasons stated above) what should I do to fix this?
(I know i could completely re-load windows, but i don't want to do that if i don't have to...)
