I've not read the entire post, but if your textures are messed up then in my experience it's either the video drive, a game bug (have you got the latest game patch?) or a setting in the game not set quite right. Have you tried using different video resolutions & color depths? Different settings relating to mip-mapping etc etc ?

Ok, heres how you manually remove programs from Add/Remove Programs. READ IT ALL CAREFULLY

PLEASE always back up your registry before you edit it.

Ok I did it and got the unwanted programs out of the Add/Remove Programs Menu with 100% Success! Now about the DMHKEY.EXE, I did not find any trace of it in there, so what would you suggest I do about this? Also, I have alot more then files in my C:\WINDOWS folder, I think some are syware or just stuff I do not need, could I post all the file names and you guys could tell me if they are viruses or just not needed or? Thanks!

Also I STRONGLY suggest a visit to Windows Update, it does not install spyware.
Also update your virus definitions for your anti-virus

Ok. I have the latest Referene file for Ad-Aware 6, latest update and Virus Identity files for my Anti-Virus Scanner, AND Spybot is up to date, all come up clean. Did the Windows update. I ran the program Cactus gave me (thank you cactus that is a great program, could have used it alot if id'a known about it lol!) I still get the error that Windows is searching for DMHKEY.EXE and cannot find it. Can you tell me how I can disable Internet Explorer 6 making pictures smaller automatically when they are to big? I hate that when it does that. Thanks guys and gals!
