Just the original problems. I can't access many functions such as sound because of the win32 problem.
Accessing shortcuts is a new problem with the window:
This file does not have an application attached to it for performing this action. Create an association in the set associations control panel.
The first time that happened was when I clicked your link as I told you.
Windows and Google stop working from time to time...2 or 3 times in a 4 hour period. The same with email, but those are not new.
Speed is good. Internet access good.
Shall I start with the new step#1 now?

Please try the following steps first....
STEP 1: Repair your Windows Registry from this infection malicious changes.
This infection has changed your Windows registry settings so that when you try to run a executable file (ending with .exe ) , it will instead launch the infection rather than the desired program.
