Well, I want to give big thanks to

and

for offering their help in fixing my scanner dilemma. I downloaded a registry cleaning program that only cost me $35, much cheaper than the $300 it would have cost me to get this done professionally! Ultimately, I didn't quite fix the problem I had - it still scans slow, and I still can't open Image Zone, but I did manage to adjust my settings to have my scans upload directly into Photoshop. So until I figure out what the real problem is, that'll have to do, but the point is, I can upload artwork again! (Albeit very, very slowly.)
Other programs are slowed down too. It takes me two to three minutes to open Windows Media Player now, for instance. And WordPerfect (my word processing program - not Microsoft Word, but an incredible simulation) doesn't seem to want to run at all. I can't figure out what this is - I ran a virus scan, a malware scan, a registry scan, and I fixed everything I could fix. What the heck else is left?

recommended I just transfer all my important files to a portable hard drive and just reboot everything from the ground up. It's looking like that might have to happen, but I'd need to get a portable hard drive first. Well, my birthday is next Wednesday, so I think I'll ask for one as a gift. Wish me luck!

The last time my computer crapped out, I consulted with a local professional whom my mother knows personally. So unless you live anywhere near my town, I'm afraid I can't effectively recommend him to ya...
I'm not looking forward to the cost of getting mine fixed.
Viruses can migrate to another drive or even a flash drive if you're not careful, so that's not totally recommended. Plus portable drives are indeed a bit costly! o_O
Note that I'm not a real pro for virus problems, I never really had to deal with one. I'm using the Avira antivirus now, it's free and has prevented a number of possible infections to date (I download a lot). One bit of safety I got lately was to download an antivirus on a uninfected computer and *then* move it onto the sick computer for install. That,s because some virus actually mess with your downloads, possibly infecting them.
Anyway, good luck with that man.
