aha, awesome btw thank you
i'm fixing my ps3 issues at the moment (think i need a new hdd but we'll see after formatting on the pc then re formatting to ps3 if it fixes the issue)
got my pc running, only took 5 antivirus programs which didn't do jack shit, ccleaner, and a firewall program after doing a system restore... i think i'm just going to reinstall windows even though i dont really want to :/
