Cant Load adaware resource manager...

[Lavard]

plus if I mouse over MSN messenger it disappears and I cannot gfet this to load either. I have virus scanned, defragged and regedited to the ends of my expertise and in some cases well beyond, but cannot seem to get this problem fixed.

Upon logging into the computer, MSN auto-starts and immediately gets a 'send error report' message - of the dozens of times I have seen this, once or twice it actually gave me details noting that the driver for my video card was out of date - I have since went to a online driver service - paid the 30.00 or so and upgraded to NVidia this or that - same issue exists.

any thoughts? appreciate your help!

...lo and behold MS offered a kdb article where UTL files were removed from the regisrty and msn is now working. Will update if suddenly is stops again.

Still have ad-aware problem though.
