Funny thing is, even after searching every little spot of my Windows folder, I can't find my Task Manager. Its as if it was deleted entirely from my computer.

I think I'm going to simply reformat and start off fresh again and unfortunately, find another P2P downloader and hope I can steer clear of these problems.

EDIT: My (mostlikely shortterm) fix (I'm overly aware I've not fixed it, just hidden it. Basically lack of a better word I guess) was to go into Run > Msconfig > Startup and thats where I noticed that there where so many things that shouldn't be, but have been starting up when my system starts.

I ticked the ones that I suspected (possibly even things that aren't affected by this problem) off. They were the following:

221
svhostcs32
IMJPMIG
MsMovies
TINTSETP
TINTSETP
qttask
jusched

EDIT: Next problem, the 221 and svhostcs32 are very smartly coded. When I turned off the first ones, they doubled, I did it again, now I have four. After this, I suspect I'll have eight of them in my startup area.

EDIT: After large amount of consideration (popups saying many different problems have arisen and forced shutdowns), I've come to the decision I'ma reformat for sure.

I was wondering, are my downloaded files at all going to be affected by these problems and is there any way that I can install LW without having this happen and or can I eliminate the problem before it eliminates my Task Manager?

Why do LW allow this to come with the installation file?
