I'm having problems with my laptop at the moment and I'm really hoping someone can help.
I recently downloaded an antivirus program (AVG) which I've used before and had no problems. It screwed things up so I deleted it (eventually, it wouldn't just uninstall through the remove program feature) and since then I've had nothing but trouble. I've done a system restore and it hasn't helped. I can't save pictures into a file I want, I have to right click, save as and just let it save into the download file then move it to where I want it. When I try to save it to a specific folder it says interrupted. Whatever, I can live with that. But now, I can't watch any YouTube clips. When I go on YouTube I get a black spot where the clip should be, and when I try to watch them here, it just has that little grey/white loading circle indefinitely. It's very annoying!
I'm running Vista, and I can't just wipe it all clean and reinstall that because the laptop didn't come with a Vista disc. I'd be quite happy to just wipe the whole thing clean and start again if there's any way of doing that without the disc. Can anyone help please?

"No-one who decides that scientific evidence is not for him and that his own experience or the stories of others is the be all and end all of deciding what's true ever has the right to call people searching for reliable, repeatable evidence narrow-minded. That is hypocrisy of the most laughable kind." Derren Brown - Tricks of the Mind.
