Also, when i look at the processes tab (or whatever its called) it shows
everything is inactive, yet system idleness is att 99, does that mean
something, or what?

"Idle" means nothing is happening. If you can't get to the Internet to
download Kelly's fix, then either get what you need from a friend with
Internet access and burn the file to cd-r or put it on a usb
thumbdrive. Another reason for the symptoms you are seeing is
virus/malware infection. I'll give you malware removal steps, but
unless you can get the tools/updates from the Internet, you're out of
luck.

It might be best for you to take the machine to a professional computer
repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).

Yes, it means you're using only 1% of what's available. "System Idle
Process" is not any problem at all. That's just the name for what the system
is doing when it's not doing anything. It's there to make the total add up
to 100%

I think the "explorer" services is inactive.
This might help:
press Del-Alt-CTRL to get the taskmanager. Check if you have "explorer" in
the processes tab. if not, choose file, Run. Type "Explorer" in the run
screen.
This might solve the problem one time, But you will need to do this
everytime you restart windows. Well, at least you will get a chance to check
the computer for the real problem.
Hope this helps.
