I don't get it...

I have no idea, really, what it is that is wrong with this (expletives deleted) computer. I have to re-get rid of that stupid porn bug. I forgot, actually didn't know to, to clean out the bookmarks thing, as well as the favorites and links and crap. So, it happened again.
On top of which, this computer has ALWAYS thrown up this warning about "A required .DLL file, PASPI.DLL was not found". We just close it and go on with nary a problem. Well, now it also throws up another warning that says something about the 'C:\\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ctrlpan.dll' having a problem. I forget exactly what it says and I have to shut it down to get it to get it to show up again, which I'm gonna do shortly, after I email Paul. (I will hopefully be right back on, though...)
If I don't get this solved real quick, here, I don't know exactly WHAT I'm gonna do. I've already been picturing the "Delete Blog" button on the main page. I don't really want to do that, but if this computer is screwed, I may as well do it, because I will go nuts for real having to fix it every 7 seconds. I'm looking to expell frustration from my life, not add to it, ya know?
Oh yeah, this thing is also making me sign on differently now. It started a new thing earlier tonight...something about the server, I think. Whatever it was, when you clicked on it, it took you to a second screen thing with three choices in it; Earthlink, AOHell and some other thing. I told Eric to click 'okay' because it already had Earthlink highlighted. I then left for the store. I thought it was just a one-time thing. Apparently, it wasn't, because instead of getting online like I usually do, it's giving me a sign-on box that I have to type my Earthlink password into, which works, except that it keeps threatening to boot me offline unless I click on 'stay connected' and there are now two little green blinking computers in my icon tray, which were never there before.

So...that's about where I am right now. I'm going to post this, so you guys can know what's going on, then I'm going to c&p this, add more to it and email it to Paul. (Feels like I'm shooting off a 'rescue flare', to me...)
I hope I can get this thing straightened out because I need to have a way to deal with this 'anger issue' of mine, besides throwing shit and screaming alot. The ridiculous, petty little shit that sets me off is sooo stupid, so nothing, yet I erupt like a volcano. This computer, the dog, the bathroom door (which is now fixed, thank God Himself)...retarded crap like that makes me just want to push my 'self-destruct button'...if I had one.

Alrighty then...off to see what's what and do what I can til I can find Paul, I guess.
Pray for me, please.
Peace

1 I'm certainly not a brainiac, but I have always made it a policy to make friends with the MIS department of every company I've worked for. I think you might need to uninstall the porn thing instead of just deleting it. Have you gone to Windows Explorer and looked for the program?

2 Stevie,
you need to download spybot and run it - also, run your anti-virus software and make sure that you have updated .dat files for it. You can get spybot at http://www.safer-networking.org/. It is free, and it does a pretty good job of getting rid of those things. Even if you uninstall some of those nasty things, there are other files hidden that will reinstall them when you reboot.
I also use Lavasoft Ad-aware 6 - it is also free. Spyware, adware and trojans can slow the hell out of your pc and make you crazy!
I also use

Don't give up and delete your stuff on your computer just yet, try to fix it first.

4 My computer comes up with a fault on start up every time to show the a PSAPI.DLL file is missing.

How important is this file and what does it do or how does it assist in the working of my comouter.
Appreciate any information you can throw light on

With Best Wishes
Bernard
