I am unable to find it in my system, so I feel like I got ripped off being good enough to pay instead of taking the free version. What gives?

The thing is that i'm noticing that Limewire probably has a poor library, plus is a bit slow.

P.S. I'm using the free version of Limewire.

I'm running a desktop PC with Windows XP Home (I doubt you'll need any more specs for this problem) and I seem to have no Explorer.exe. When I log in I have nothing but my background image, I can bring up the task manager to open programs and such. I've researched the problem and have come to the conclusion that I've either caught some nasty that's messed with it OR, and this is what I personally suspect, the Firewall I recently installed (Jetico Personal Firewall) has either mistaken Explorer.exe as being harmful to my system, or the file actually was infected and the firewall deleted it.
The file is definetly not where it's supposed to be, I've looked, and tried to start Explorer through the task manager but it can't find it, and nothing changes in Safe Mode.

As I mentioned before I've researched the problem, and the answer is either to reinstall Windows (I think there is a way to do it wihout losing any files???), or download an alternative to the file... Any help is appreciated.

Attempted to install Service Pack 2 and it said Failed to Install clicked on the icon and it said Error Code: 0xD0000005 . When I rebooted it seems to have installed. I went back to update and the only thing left was IE 7 which I didn't want to install at this time anyway. Add/Remove Programs show Service Pack 2 and all the updates, but next to Service Pack 2 it shows no Mb...as if there is nothing there. I ran a couple of programs that show what is installed on your computer and it showed that Service Pack 2 is there. The windows security alert icon is in the system tray. When booting up the color of the progression bar changed color. There is a windows firewall and a popup blocker. My main concern is the failure to install in the update history.What's going on here? Should I leave well enough alone?

I have been using Windows Movie Maker but it is just plain idiotic. Every five minutes it has something wrong and has to close. Or it just thinks there is too many things running that it won't import videos, yet there is nothing running besides itself. Is there any program that is simple to use like WMM just alot more reliable? And possibly cheaper than $100?

I pressed F8 and ran Debug Mode - failed
I pressed F8 and did System Windows Restore and I acctually got it on to the log in pge before it crashed again.
I did system configuration adn it crashed.

The error is:

File: Ntfs.sys
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

I need to disable the BIOS memory Chaching and Shadowing but how do I do this?
