Please see my computer's HJT log file. Got the feeling it has problems even if the scanners show that it's clean. It's kinda slow too considering that almost every component is brand new. Please advise as see fit. Gonna try Kapersky later to see if it has any viruses. Thank you very much.

I've also got problems starting up my 3D games, like warcraft, civilization III, and some online games. The programs either blur or just stall on the opening of the program. If this topic is supposed to be in the other forum sub-topic, please advise. I'm thinki8ng it's the hardware that's making the problem. This computer has gone from repair shop to repair shop, and it still doesn't work on games. The parts of the computer are supposed to be plug-and-play, but I suppose some of them are not compatible.

Please advise quickly because I'm itching to frag some kills (hihi). please advise also if I need to update my java script, seems I've some problems with that, I believe. I recently posted a Kapersky log here but it seems to have been erased, here is it again below. I'm also gonna include the newest HJT log file to help you assess my computer.

Also of note is that Scotty (WinPatrol program) keeps on detecting kernel32.dll, which always tries to connect to the network. Since I've got no network, where is he trying to connect? I also tried installing Windows XP with this computer, but again like the games it stalls up and plain wouldn't budge. Boy I've got a lot of problems with this PC. Hope you could fully help me in fixing it, whether it be from a little tweaking of the software or just plain buying new hardware is fine with me.

Thank you very much and more power.

I'm not seeing anything bad. Post what I quoted here and let them know your OS is ME.
