Hi.

I have an error every time i load my computer saying DXSETU has caused an error. Here is the log - any advice on this will be greatly appreciated. I have to close all the cmd.exe in tas manager or the computer barely works. I was advised to check the dxsetu and winsock on hijackthis but it keeps coming back. )also had an ope9.exe which seems to have been fixed
