I'm a bit concerned by that crawler toolbar. Those sort of BHO things are quite often badly coded and can cause problems. If it's not essential I'd suggest you uninstall it.
Thanks, thats why I thought Id best check first. Ive already managed to bugger up my ethernet drivers so I can now only connect using wireless, tried for weeks uninstalling and reinstalling drivers but it wont have it

I'll go delete the crawler one for now then, no idea what to do about all the registry things though, theres pages of the stuff

Is a major spring clean a reinstall of windows? Already done it once or twice this year
