Ever since I installed the newest version of I.E. the other day, my computer has been acting sluggish and weird. My AVG scans have detected no viruses or anything like that. But I just tried to do a windows update and I got an error code (seen below). The steps it tells me to take...well I can't do them because I don't have a "windows DVD". Anyone have any pointers? Anyone had this happen lately?
