I would look to that as the problem.
Uninstall it.
Or, go to a system restore point that you know your computer worked fine. Sometimes things just get messy. Blame Bill Gates.
To do the former, Start/Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs
To do the latter, Start/Performance and Maintenance/System Restore (in the upper left, just follow the panels)
