How about those other 2? Web X Player and the Apple Quicktime 5X ?
You may update them as well.

Running better, although still encountering some problems.
I keep getting notices from Microsoft for update of Defender. Defender shows in
my the control panel under programs, but I do not have it enabled.
Update bombs telling me I'm missing a file to update to, same as the security essentials
MSE also shows under my firewall as being active, but is no where to be found.

I've gotten a jusched error from time to time. I googled and it stated to update Java, which I did.
Got it again today. Not sure what's going on there.

Disable it as a startup: http://www.howtogeek...-is-it-running/

I was actually surpized to find out that you can actually uninstall Windows Defender totally in Windows XP: http://support.micro...kb/555957

Broni, I've tried everything suggested & more to delete Windows Defender with no success. That's ok, I've come to terms with it. As long as it's not running (& it's not) it can stay.
I do have a problem we also fixed in the past. Outlook, will not let me organize favorites. I get an error code: 100 Invalid class string.
We fixed this before. Can we do it again??
One more issue with Outlook and all this started shortly after I got a windows update and installed.
I can receive and play .wav extensions, but when I forward, they try to send, but gets hung up and stalls.
Finally I have to delete the outgoing message and then everything is ok again.

Other than that, everything you've had me do so far seems to have worked and so far, so good. Thank you!

I suggest you try Office repair installation first.
