Answer 1

Most likely limewire is what "happened".  Reinstall Windows from scratch and stop downloading virus-ridden files (which is all you get when you use *any* peer-to-peer download program.)  You can keep redoing your computer or you can buy the music you want - it's your choice.  But you can't keep downloading junk and keep your computer clean.

Answer 2

there's most likely a virus on there. your computer should've came with a recovery disc. use that  

Answer 3

Advice: never let your cousin touch your computer, lol.

Answer 4

IF YOU CAN GET YOUR LAPTOP TO START-UP,GO TO THE ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS AND REMOVE ALL THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU DO NOT WANT OR NEED.IF YOU ARE UNSHURE OF WHAT TO DO,ASK A FRIEND OR SOMEONE THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT.THERE IS PROBABLY MANY MANY DIFFERENT PROGRAMS ON THE LAPTOP THAT YOU DO NOT NEED BUT THERE MAY BE A FEW THAT YOU DO NEED SO GET SOMEBODY TO HELP YOU THAT KNOWS WHICH PROGRAMS AND SOFTWARE THAT YOU CAN REMOVE SAFELY.THAT IM SHURE IS THE REASON THAT YOUR LAPTOP IS STARTING WRONG OR SLOW.ONCE YOU REMOVE ALL THE JUNK ON THE HARDDRIVE,IT SHOULD START NORMALLY AGAIN.YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO RUN ANTI-VIRUS/ANTI-SPYWARE PROGRAM TO GET RID OF POSSIBLE VIRUS OR MALWARE PROBLEM.HOPE YOU CAN FIX THE PROBLEM NAOMI.GOOD LUCK.
