i havent installed anything, i had hoster open, and i was trying to searched a song to play , and when i found the song i clicked on play and the cue button stayed on a bit, so i clicked on play again and my laptop frozed and a red bar went acrossed my screen, and i had to do a hard re-boot..that's when it all started..
