im having serious problems with my computer ever since i downloaded a newer version of internet explorer from the offical site.
Whenever i start up my computer it normally shows taht blue screen that has to load up from not turning it off properly because im normally forced to shut off my computer that way (Scan disk i think its caled)
once it reaches 42% it alwasy says "Scandisk detected an invalid long filenam entry on this drive but was unable to fix. To fix the problem run scandisk for windows."
Then i gotta click ok. The it starts up windows which now takes forever. Once i type in my password sometimes not always it says my computer is mising a file needed to run applications im not sure what it is though. Then i cant open ANY programs or anything not even right click and properties it always says. "There is not enough memory to run this program. Quit one or more programs, then try again." Also most of the time i hit ctrl alt delete it says in a white box "The system is dangerously low in resources would you like to terminate the following applications?" THen it shows something and if you hit no it shows another till you click yes or cancel.

oh ya and for some reason in my internet it has things like porn search engines credit card stuff like taht in my favorites. If i delete it comes back when i open a new internet explorer. Also my homepage is always About:Blank no matter what. BTW i did uninstall that internet explorer i said i downloaded but still is like all this.

Please help mabye i uninstalled somethin i shoulda kept i got no idea.
