One problem solved and I have another one:
Yesterday Window installed new updates. It asked me to restart the computer. When it started I had 7 windows opening up all by themselves, all kinds of stuff. I tried again and the same windows opened up again. They are doing this ever since.
I do not want these windows opening up. How can I stop that? Can someone please help me?

open msconfig/startup and see whats loading on startup....you should be able to disable them from there...
As Tews said above,
Msconfig/Startup.Msconfig/Startup. Hi, at the Start Orb / Search, type into the box msconfig click and open it at the top of the Menu page. When the window opens choose Start-up and click on it, Uncheck all the boxes, except your Anti Virus one. Click apply, then OK, and then Restart. Your Machine will shut down then, and restart. Lets see if it is one of those programs in there that was causing the grief.
I tried the Msconf thing and it does not work. As a matter of fact, I messed up big times. It shut off the services and I had a heck of a time to get them back on. The windows still open. There must be 12 of them now.
I am really frustrated,

Try a system restore to a time before you installed the updates.
System Restore
Also if that doesn't help, have a look at this and try the fix half way down the page.

Take a screenshot of these windows and upload them. Does this happen in Safe mode? Press F8 repeatedly until you get the option.
