    Sometimes when i am watching a movie on the computer, it will take me out of Full Screen Mode as well.

    I have ran spybot S&D and Super Antispyware Cleaner and ad aware. Nothing seems to help this problem at all.

    I have cleared all cookies and everything i could think of, but i dunno what else i can do to get rid of it.

    If anyone has any idea what to do with it, let me know!

    X2 - highly recommended. The other anti-spyware might work better if you boot up in safe mode.

    Bah, I get the error message when I tried this as when I do clicking on it and trying to delete it. "An Unknown error has occurred"..

    Here, I'll email it to ya and see what you can do.

    There might be a "special character" in the title, sometimes you can't even see them. Some little bastages setup a folder like this on an open FTP I was doing some testing with. Never had one in an email though.
    If you're running outlook, the easiest thing to do would be exporting all your good mail and then deleting the current .PST file. Then import your mail back into a fresh new .PST. I can give deals, pretty easy...

    Did you try to fix your .pst file of any errors?
    Find the location of your .pst file (usually outlook.pst) so you can put the full path into this program. SCANPST.EXE I think that's already on your pc somewhere... actually may be in a couple of places. I run mine from

    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\SCANPST.EXE"

    Actually... if it's a laptop with wireless, send it to me, buy yourself a Dell XPS and I'll forward all your good emails back to you.
