Got a brand new computter and I have been trying to debunk the preinstalled crap, as well as upgrade the MS office 2003 to ms office pro 2003.
Now i keep getting missing or corrupted file messages for many different things. particularly, cursors, and themes.
Also the defect and repair scan will not complete. The windows uopdates icon in startup tray is always yellow and telling me there are updates and when i go to add remove i notice there are tons of duplicate updates installed. also for a brand new computer...sure does seem slow.

i am about to the point of putting in recovery disk and reinstalling OS and then getting some professional counsel on how to get rid of what i dont want or need and configuring this properly. If anyone has any advice please share.
